Breathe deeply and gently

through your body and

into the innermost parts

of yourself.


PAUSE


As as you breathe,

let the breath you bring in

carry peace and relaxation.

And let the breath you exhale

release tension, stress, and pain.


PAUSE


Keep letting yourself relax.

And as you do,

watch as all your distracting thoughts

are gathered up

and floated away.


PAUSE


Now, imagine if you can,

standing before a giant tree,

an ancient tree,

with boughs round and wide

like bass drums,

and limbs blossoming

with flowers and leaves


PAUSE


As you stand before the tree,

a reverence washes over you,

a reverence for all the history

that the tree has seen.


You want to climb into the tree

and learn its secrets.


PAUSE


Now, visualize if you can,

being magically lifted into the tree,

and gently placed on a large bough.


PAUSE


As you take a deep breath,

you settle in and relax in the tree.

Moments later,

the tree’s flowery limbs 

surround you with peace 

and a sweet fragrance.


PAUSE


As you listen for the stories of the tree,

a dream-like whisper floats by your ear,

and you hear:

“I’ve seen you fight.

You are strong.”


The flowery limbs cradle you lovingly.


PAUSE


And then a few minutes later, 

the tree whispers:

“I’ve seen you hold for those you love.

You are strong.” 


And again, 

the flowery leaves cradle you lovingly.


PAUSE


Now, allow yourself to pause for a moment,

and feel yourself floating,

Relaxed and calm–

floating through a 

journey through time–

Your journey through time.



PAUSE


After resting,

you prepare to climb down,

Taking the secrets of the tree

with you.


But as you do, 

the tree whispers again:

“You fight hard and true.

You love hard and whole.”


PAUSE


As you are gently cascaded

to the ground,

you turn toward the tree,

and uplift your arms,

wide and strong,

like the tree’s boughs.


And as you whisper 

the words “Thank you,”

a gentle breeze

carries them into the

tree’s branches.



NAMASTE, BEAUTIFUL
