So Let’s Begin…
THE PEACE OF SPRING SLEEP MEDITATION SCRIPT
Breathe in deeply,
And then go inward deeply,
To your center of peace.
LONG PAUSE
Continue breathing
and holding a place of peace–
A place of serenity and relaxation.
LONG PAUSE
Now, let your mind unwind.
Let any tense or distracting thoughts
Simply evaporate.
Feel the peace as they disappear.
LONG PAUSE
Continue breathing,
and now imagine
stepping outside
on a cool, spring day.
The air is a mixture of
warming sunshine
and the last gasp
of winter’s chill.
PAUSE
As you stroll,
you notice tiny pockets of snow
still dotting the ground,
white tufts with
green and brown life
pushing through.
PAUSE
Green stems and buds
rise from the ground
like sentires awakening
from a fairy-tale slumber.
They rise and reach
toward the warming sun.
PAUSE
As you walk,
a nippy breeze
catches in the trees,
trembling them for a moment,
and then returning them
to strength and calm.
PAUSE
The branches of the trees
are peppered with bud,
some like green leaves:
Others like tiny white flowers.
When another breeze
shakes the trees,
the buds hold on
eager for their chance to bloom.
They won’t give in.
PAUSE
As you walk along,
a flock of birds flies above.
Some land in a tree near you,
and begin chirping happily,
buoyantly,
as they make their way back from
the warmer climes of the South.
PAUSE
You pause near the tree,
listening to the chorus of joy,
and noticing the beautiful red breasts
of the birds,
dancing between the branches.
The robins are back.
PAUSE
A little farther down the path,
water burbles,
and you see the first
flow of an icy stream
as the water melts.
PAUSE
In the stream,
translucent shards of ice
still cling precariously
to rocks and branches.
They soon give way to
the stream’s destiny.
And the water flows.
PAUSE
A silver fish with
a rainbow on its back,
pops its head out of the water,
then sinks back into the stream,
darting in, out and around bits of ice.
PAUSE
The sun rises higher in the sky,
beaming its warmth to you,
and moderating the chilly breeze.
You find a rock by the stream,
and perch yourself upon it.
PAUSE
A pair of deer stop by the stream,
dipping their noses in the water,
and lapping it up with their tongues.
They pause when they see you;
then scamper away.
PAUSE
While sitting on the rock,
an enormous sense of peace
fills you.
With spring’s kiss,
Nature awakens around you.
You feel calm.
You feel connected.
You feel part of Nature
at your core.
PAUSE
As your time at the rock
comes to end,
you stand and leave,
feeling the ultimate peace,
the ultimate connection to life.
And you carry that back with you
to embrace and share..
NAMASTE, BEAUTIFUL
