So Let’s Begin…

THE PEACE OF THE WOODS AND BROOK MEDITATION SCRIPT

Breathe deep,

greeting the day

with peace and joy.

Let those feelings

gently wash over you.

PAUSE

Take another breath,

and see if you can imagine

walking in the woods

in the morning.

PAUSE

As you walk,

you draw in a cool breath

filled with the scent of pine.

It tickles your nose

in a wonderful way.

PAUSE

The sunlight 

streams through the trees,

splashing in pools on 

the ground.

PAUSE

As the light grows

through the trees,

so does your shadow.

The air warms up delicately.

PAUSE

Squirrels dash by you,

pausing to dig for acorns,

and then scuttling away.

Birds sing from the trees

like sopranos in an opera.

PAUSE

The woods curve,

and you follow the path

that leads to a tiny brook.

Imagine yourself 

sitting down by the brook.

PAUSE

The water gently tumbles

over rocks–

it is still in some places,

and rushing quickly in others.

PAUSE

A large bass pushes up to the surface,

his mouth open wide,

as he pulls in his catch

of a little water bug.

PAUSE

There is an unmatched peace

at the brook,

a feeling of complete

synergy with nature.
you want to keep the image

and the feeling.

PAUSE

Imagine yourself 

taking a snapshot 

of the where you are

and how your feeling–

a snapshot that you

store in your mind and heart.

Hold onto that snapshot,

and allow it to stay with you,

as you ready yourself for the day.

NAMASTE, BEAUTIFUL
