So Let’s Begin…
BREATH OF PRAIRIE MEDITATION SCRIPT
Slow down.
Slow your thoughts and feelings,
And focus on your breathing.
PAUSE
Focus on breathing in air
That melts away tension,
And lightens you.
Let it bring a calm
And a peace
To you.
PAUSE
Now, imagine being on a prairie.
At first glance,
It looks like a
Landscape painting,
With a gold and green ground,
And a jewel-tone blue sky.
PAUSE
You draw in a deep breath,
A breath that sprawls through you,
Like the land before you,
Opening you,
Freeing you.
Creating possibilities in you.
And you savor your breath.
PAUSE
You begin walking the prairie,
With long tendrils of grass
Bending as you make your way,
Across the flat land.
PAUSE
Not long into your stroll,
A little head pops up
Out of the ground.
Two deep black eyes
Meet yours.
You are introduced
To your first
Prairie dog
Who sees you,
Watches you with curiosity,
And then,
Scampers along the ground.
PAUSE
You continue your walk,
Passing rows of
Pink and orange milkweed,
And purple and yellow coneflowers.
Until, off in the distance you see,
A herd of regal buffalo,
Grazing and lounging
In the warmth of the sun.
PAUSE
Now, take in a deep breath,
And give yourself permission
To approach the buffalo.
See yourself moving
In complete safety,
To the largest buffalo,
The obvious leader
Of the herd.
PAUSE
You take a moment,
And stand before the buffalo,
Looking into its rich black eyes,
Connecting and understanding
With it,
Until you bow your head
To honor the buffalo,
And the it bows its head
In return.
You realize that something
Magical just occurred.
Something so rare and wonderful,
And you breathe in again the experience
And consciously decide to bring back
This knowing you’ve received
From the prairie,
And from the sacred buffalo.
It is a powerful connectedness
To life and nature,
That will always be with you,
With every breath you take.
NAMASTE, BEAUTIFUL
