So Let’s Begin…
JAZZY GUIDED MEDITATION SCRIPT
Get comfortable
wherever you are.
And bring your mind
to the present.
LONG PAUSE
Now, take a breath and
gently scan your body
for any areas of tension
that you’re ready to release.
LONG PAUSE
As you focus on your body,
whenever you come
to an area of tension,
breathe into it
LONG PAUSE
Imagine your breath
opening any tightness or stress
until you feel your whole body
gently easing and relaxing.
PAUSE
Now imagine you hear
a saxophone playing…
and as you look around,
you find yourself seated
in a cozy jazz club.
PAUSE
On stage is a saxophone player
with a black hat
and hips that
swing to the beat.
PAUSE
The club is dark,
and the dim lights
cast a purple hue over the room
that mingles with smoke
pirouetting in the air.
PAUSE
The sax player hits jazzy notes
that bounce between
deep, husky lows
and vibrant highs.
PAUSE
And you find yourself
moving in rhythm,
gently bouncing from side-to-side
to the beat of the music.
PAUSE
As you look around the club,
you notice men in wingtip shoes
tapping their feet
and smiling.
PAUSE
You notice women in dresses,
with bright red nails,
tapping their fingers
to the rhythm
and smiling.
PAUSE
And, you feel a connection
with these people,
a feeling in your soul,
as you move to the beat.
PAUSE
Now, imagine a piano player
appears on stage
and begins playing piano
along with the saxophone player.
PAUSE
And some of the men
who tapped their feet
and some of the women
who tapped their fingers
get up to dance.
PAUSE
You draw in a breath
and feel the music
as it flows through
your body.
PAUSE
The piano and a sax
flow through you like a river,
moving you deeper into
the present.
PAUSE
The music swirls and twirls
within you,
rising high and bold,
and dropping low and mellow.
PAUSE
And as each note
vibrates within you,
it unleashes joy,
joy that flows
throughout your body.
PAUSE
The sax and piano improvise,
and you feel the music opening you,
leading you in new directions,
to new possibilities.
PAUSE
You take a moment,
and bask
in the new possibilities
unfolding before you
PAUSE
You breathe in deeply,
and tuck these new possibilities
into your heart,
feeling gratitude
for the joy and excitement
they bring you.
PAUSE
And, as you leave the club,
and walk into the night air,
you feel the sax and piano
playing in your heart,
leaving you excited
for what’s next.
Namaste, Beautiful
