So Let’s Begin…

BEACH BALL ADVENTURE MEDITATION SCRIPT

Draw in a breath,

a breath that

opens and enlivens you.

A breath to welcome

this beautiful new day.

PAUSE

Draw in another breath,

and as you do,

feel joy

and a sense of playfulness

rise up in you.

Feel a smile

forming on your face.

PAUSE

Now, open yourself 

to the beauty of imagination.

Take a breath,

and visualize a beach,

on a stunning summer day.

PAUSE

Now, using that wonderful imagination,

scan the beach,

and as you do,

notice that you have a shape,

a rounded shape.

You are a brightly colored

beach ball.

PAUSE

Now, breathe, 

and see yourself,

rising high in the air,

after a child tosses you

toward the clouds.

The clouds are beautiful

against the turquoise sky.

PAUSE

Now, imagine,

just as you are about to land,

a strong breeze blows,

and sends you skipping 

up and down over the shoreline.

PAUSE

After a few moments,

the breeze lifts you

high into the air.

You can see everything.

PAUSE

As the breeze softens,

you float down.

only, instead of landing on

the sand,

you land in the waves.

Waves that gently rock you

to and fro.

Waves that carry you out

to the deep blue sea.

PAUSE

Now, draw in a deep breath,

and allow yourself to enjoy

floating in the water.

You notice the seabirds

that fly by,

wondering what you are.

You notice the fish

that swim around you,

occasionally nudging you

with their snout

out of curiosity.

And you see the dolphins

that bump you with their noses

in loving play.

It feels absolutely wonderful.

Absolutely freeing.

PAUSE

And, as you float with the current,

out farther and farther to sea,

there is no fear,

no sense of being lost,

no worry.

Instead,

as you gaze

at the blue water before you,

there is a sense

that your adventure

is just beginning.

Enjoy it.

NAMASTE, BEAUTIFUL
