Settle yourself comfortably,

so that you allow yourself 

to relax,

fully and completely


LONG PAUSE


Notice your breathing,

as it takes on 

a slow rhythm

deeply filling your lungs.


LONG PAUSE


And with each breath 

in and out,

feel your body

gently sinking

into the folds 

of your bed.


LONG PAUSE


Visualize a soft glow 

quivering in the darkness,

a glow that draws

your gaze.


PAUSE


In the middle

of the room,

a candle flickers,

a white pillar candle 

with a dancing flame.


PAUSE


Colors dart in and out

of the flame,

as the candle

bends and leans

from side-to-side.


PAUSE


Sometimes, the candle

gives off yellow and orange,

colors that warm 

and spread through the soul.


PAUSE


Other times, the candle

flickers in whites and blues,

casting tranquility

throughout the room.


PAUSE


As the candle dances gracefully,

you find yourself soothed

by its light

and becoming 

more deeply relaxed

the longer you look into it.


PAUSE


As you relax,

the candle piques 

your senses: 

Tiny fizzes 

from the wick burning

tickle your ear,

and the flame 

continues to gyrate and move

as you watch it.


PAUSE


The warmth of the flame

wraps around you,

like a nest of 

caring and comfort,

and as it radiates,

a hint of lavender 

tinges the air.


PAUSE


At times, the flame teeters

back and forth,

creating a rhythmic

pulse that connects

more deeply with you.


PAUSE


With each flutter of the light

the candle’s glow

settles within you,

sparking warmth 

from the inside

and opening

your own soulful light.


PAUSE


As you behold the candle,

you feel the flame

gently leading you to a 

still space within,

a space of pure peace

and total serenity.


PAUSE


And while basking 

in this space of peace and calm,

the shimmering candle

takes you to a deeper

level of understanding

and self-discovery.


PAUSE


The more the candlelight

glimmers in the room,

you quietly become more self-aware,

as beautiful hidden truths

are revealed to you.


PAUSE


These truths may be 

wonderful parts of yourself

that you’ve denied,

or kept away from others–

or perhaps not even have realized.


Yet, now, they shine brightly in

the beauty and clarity 

that is you.


PAUSE


Now, imagine that, 

as the candle flickers,

it imparts wisdom to you,

sharing greater insights

that expand your soul.


PAUSE


And, as the flame 

whispers its wisdom,

you take a breath

and the light from this knowledge 

opens you even more.


PAUSE


The newfound awareness

brings you peace and focus

that flow through you effortlessly,

filling your being in new ways

that transcend what you’ve

known about yourself.


PAUSE


And all through the awareness,

there is a relaxation

and a calmness

that softly stream through you

like gentle waves.


PAUSE


So, give yourself permission

to stay in the stillness of your soul,

in this Zen-like awareness of the self

filled with tranquility.


PAUSE


And, with this stillness,

let yourself drift

into a deep, restful slumber,

one where you carry the 

wisdom of the candle

that you can call upon 

at any time.
