Take a moment and focus on you,

letting the day set behind you

As you slip away quietly.

LONG PAUSE

And as you shift your focus,

allow yourself to just let go.

Let go of any distracting thoughts

and stuff them in a basket

so you can stay in the present.

LONG PAUSE

Now, embrace yourself with gentleness

and self-love 

as you continue quieting the mind

and letting go,

So there’s nothing but you

in this moment

LONG PAUSE

Now, imagine being carried to Italy,

to the magnificent Tuscan countryside

not far from the art and beauty of Florence.

PAUSE

As you land in the breathtaking land,

you notice green, rolling hills 

that flow across the countryside

like a sheet gently blowing in a breeze.

PAUSE

And as your eye travels 

over the land, 

you are taken in by a

symphony of wonders

to your senses.

PAUSE

You breathe in the fresh air,

and with it the subtle woody scent

of olive trees blooming in the distance.

PAUSE

As your eye catches sight of the trees,

the beauty of the tiny white blossoms

moves you, making a spiritual connection

to you and the stunning countryside.

PAUSE

You draw in another breath

rich with the fragrance of grapes on the vine.

The honey scent lulls you 

into a state of deep calm.

PAUSE

After a few minutes, 

your ears are treated 

to the delightful sound 

of a bird singing.

PAUSE

Moments later, 

other birds begin chirping,

letting their songs

ring through the countryside.

PAUSE

As you walk through the hills,

a brown rabbit hops before you

on the path.

He pauses, looks cautiously at you

and then hops along.

PAUSE

Then, your eye catches 

a number of stone towers

guarding the countryside,

old towers built by medieval nobles

for protection.

PAUSE

As you approach one of the towers,

you feel its ancestors welcoming you

and its protective energies

building a fortress around you.

PAUSE

Along your walk,

you notice an area 

where the sounds of bubbles

call out to you.

You follow the call 

to a natural mineral spring.

PAUSE

Gingerly, you step over 

the stones leading 

the gently bubbling spring

until you can dip your feet

iInto the healing waters.

PAUSE

The air is moist

with hints of sulphur

from the spring 

and the sweetness of grapes

from a nearby winery.

And the sound of the spring

gently burbling

relaxes you.

PAUSE

A velvety breeze brushes

against your cheeks

while the warm Tuscan sun

alights on your face.

PAUSE

After the mineral bath, 

you decide to visit

the winery nearby,

and are awed by the 

array of chianti flavors

dancing on your tongue.

PAUSE

There are woody and dried fruit flavors

tickling your palate,

along with smoky and herbal tastes,

all blended into delicious elixirs.

PAUSE

The winery offers lodging,

so you decide to stay the night

and are treated to a feast

of breads and olive oils, wines,

sharp cheeses, pasta rich with

tomatoey flavors, and chocolate,

smooth and luxurious.

PAUSE

Before bed, you stretch out

on a chair in the garden,

watching Italy’s golden sun

drop below the horizon,

and seeing a silver full moon

bathe the countryside in light. 

PAUSE

The moon rises high and large

in the sky,

casting its light across the rolling hills,

vineyards and olive trees,

painting a picture 

more beautiful than any art..

PAUSE

And as the Tuscan night 

unfolds around you,

you close your eyes

and let the magic of Tuscany

flourish within you and your dreams.

NAMASTE, BEAUTIFUL
