Take a long,slow breath in,

and let it go,

feeling the release

in your entire body.


LONG PAUSE


Then breathe again,

allowing any area

of tension 

to melt away.


LONG PAUSE


And now,

allow your breathing

to find a 

comfortable, slow rhythm,

and relax even more.


LONG PAUSE


Now, see if you can imagine

walking along 

a fertile shore

of the Nile River

in Egypt.


PAUSE


The pale, blue-green water 

flows gently

before you,

carrying life to all 

who live near it.


PAUSE


As you walk,

you feel the Egyptian sun

lightly warming your skin,

warming it comfortably.


PAUSE


And, after a moment, 

you notice a path 

mixed with yellow sand

and black dirt.


PAUSE


See if you can imagine

following the yellow and black path

until a tiny sailboat appears

right by the shore .


PAUSE


As you study the sailboat,

you observe a tan-colored sail

with sharp points and curves

hoisted into the air.


PAUSE


Now, give yourself permission

to board the little boat

and prepare to venture

down the Nile.


PAUSE


You situate yourself

comfortably in the center,

feeling the gentle rocking

of the boat

from side to side.


PAUSE


And, now see if you can imagine

the little sailboat

catching a breeze

and sailing down the river.


PAUSE 


And as you sail down the Nile,

you spy the top 

of a pyramid,

yellow and strong,

standing in its might.


PAUSE


And the sailboat pauses,

and moves toward the shore,

letting you off to

visit the pyramids.


PAUSE


And, as you set foot

on the shore,

see if you can imagine,

a magical breeze

carrying you to the 

center of the plateau

with all the pyramids.


PAUSE


And the breeze stops

for a moment,

and then stirs again,

this time dropping

a pair of blue glasses 

into your hands.


PAUSE


Instinctively,

you put on the glasses,

and are amazed 

to see Egyptian pharaohs,

queens, gods and goddesses

watching over the pyramids.


PAUSE


A pharaoh with a

golden staff and 

black and gold striped headdress,

nods at you and taps his staff.


PAUSE


After a moment,

a beautiful Egyptian woman

with lush lips and curved hips

walks by you.


PAUSE


It’s Queen Nefertiti,

and she gives you a half smile

and then walks on.


PAUSE


Now, imagine if you can

the beautiful goddess Isis,

with her golden headdress

comes toward you.


PAUSE


The goddess of healing and magic

stands before you

and takes your hands 

in hers.


PAUSE


She doesn’t speak, 

and, yet, you understand

her message:

You, too, are a goddess.

Believe it.


PAUSE


Isis disappears,

and you stand 

for a moment,

taking in her message

and feeling goddess power within.


PAUSE


After a few moments,

another breeze comes by,

and the glasses

gently fall off your nose

and vanish into the air.


PAUSE


The gods and goddesses,

pharaohs and queens

are all gone.

Instead, there are many tourists

waiting for their turn

to experience Egypt.


PAUSE


The breeze returns,

full, and ready to take you 

back to the little sailboat.


PAUSE


But before the breeze

carries you away,

you turn and look again

at the pyramids,

thanking them 

for reminding you

that you are a goddess,

every day, in every way.
