Close your eyes,

and let yourself

deeply, deeply relax.

LONG PAUSE

Focus only on relaxing.

Let everything else go.

Let tension go.

Let stress go.

Let distracting thoughts go.

Watch as they lift away from you

like a balloon in the sky.

LONG PAUSE

Breathe in more relaxation,

feeling it spread serenity

through all of you.

LONG PAUSE

Breathe again.

Allow your body

to let go,

to just melt into the bed.

PAUSE

Now, imagine if you can,

sitting on the banks of a river,

just basking in the

Warmth of the sun.

taking in the smells of 

nearby wildflowers,

and listening as the water

gently rushes past you.

PAUSE

You feel calm,

peaceful,

and relaxed.

So, you stretch out on the bank,

and allow yourself to rest.

PAUSE

Moments later,

you feel the presence 

of someone near,

So you sit up.

PAUSE

At first, 

you don’t see anyone.

Then, your eyes catch

a stately figure,

dipping a clay jug

into the water.

PAUSE

It’s a tall, slender woman,

with skin like soft silk,

And a draped robe

of black,

and gold,

and red.

PAUSE

The woman kneels along the bank,

and as woman dips her jug

into the crystal blue water,

she does so with delicate care.

There is something almost sacred

in her movements.

They are like rhythmic dances.

PAUSE

The woman fills the jug to the top,

taking care not to spill,

and then gingerly stands 

and lifts the jug 

to sit on top of her head.

PAUSE

She balances the jug

with her slender hands,

and with a beautiful posture,

sleek and straight.

Then, she walks away.

PAUSE

Instinctively, 

you rise and follow her.

Running to catch up,

you notice that 

she literally glides

across the land.

Every step looks like she’s floating.

PAUSE

The woman stares straight ahead,

committed to her mission.

She barely notices you

at her side.

PAUSE

As you walk, 

you imagine the village

where the woman 

will take the water.

But she walks 

in a different direction.

PAUSE

Soon, you arrive at the meadow,

teeming with the wildflowers

you smelled by the river.

PAUSE

The woman removes the jug 

From her head,

And with a wave of hand,

The water disperses 

To all the flowers.

PAUSE

You watch,

as a magical mist of droplets,

descends on the flowers,

giving them life.

After the water,

you notice the flowers seem brighter,

With even more aromatic smells.

PAUSE

The woman gives a half smile 

to the flowers,

And begins walking again.

PAUSE

This time, she finds a forest of trees

that welcomes her shower of 

life-giving mist.

Like the flowers, 

they seem more alive after their bath.

Greener and taller and stronger.

PAUSE

The woman gives a half smile 

to the trees,

And begins walking again.

This time, she walks back to the river.

PAUSE

Sitting on the banks of the river,

you gaze at the woman,

who holds the jug

over the water.

Seconds later,

the water from the river gathers,

And rises in the air

to take the jug from the woman.

The woman turns to you,

and gives you a half smile.

Then she takes a step 

on top of the water,

before dissipating

and turning into mist

that disappears in the air. 

PAUSE

You lie back on the river bank

And close your eyes again.

You hear the water rushing,

And feel its calm magic within you. 

NAMASTE, BEAUTIFUL
