So Let’s Begin…

INSIGHTS FROM THE PAST MORNING MEDITATION SCRIPT

Take a moment to breathe 

and to prepare yourself 

for something new.

PAUSE…

Take another breath,

and in this state,

imagine Mahatma Gandhi

standing before you,

outstretching his hand.

LONG PAUSE

As soon as you touch his hand,

you find yourself on mountaintop,

sitting and sipping some tea,

just you and Gandhi.

PAUSE

A gentle breeze brushes your cheeks,

as you wait in anticipation
for what Gandhi will say,

but he sits quietly,

sipping the lemony tea.

PAUSE

You draw in a deep breath,

and as you release it,

you ask him,

“How did you do it?”

PAUSE

Gandhi sets his teacup down,

rubs his hands over his head

and laughs. 

PAUSE

“There was a time,
When I didn’t really know what I was doing;

I just did it,”

he says with a smile.

PAUSE

Puzzled, you cock your head

and look for clues

in his deep charcoal eyes.

PAUSE

“But, after a while,”he says,

“I grew to know..
I came from a place of love

in all parts of my life.”

PAUSE

You pause for a moment,

listening with intent.

then, you and Gandhi stand up,

and he waves his hand,

and all across the valley below

are scenes from his life,

all the scenes in which he made love the focus.

PAUSE
You gaze at the scenes in awe,

and then he points to a specific scene

where he prays for love in the world,

and the beauty of his prayer

wraps around your heart.

PAUSE

After a few moments,

he returns you to your room.

Together, you take some deep breaths,

as he begins to fade away.

PAUSE

Quietly, you repeat what he said,
“Come from a place of love.”

You say it like a mantra,

again and again

until it sinks into your bones.

Until you feel you come from

a place of love.

PAUSE

And with the love

flooding through you,

you’re ready for the day.

NAMASTE, BEAUTIFUL
