So Let’s Begin…

THE PELICAN IS PATIENT MEDITATION SCRIPT

Breathe.

And take a moment of silence

to just observe your thoughts.

PAUSE

Now, breathe again,

and visualize a beautiful woven basket

where you place all those thoughts in it,

so you are ready for meditation.

PAUSE

Take a moment,

and envision yourself on a beach

just comfortably sitting 

and taking in the surroundings.

PAUSE

And in the distance,

you see a group of brown pelicans

bobbing up and down in the water

enjoying their time together quietly

PAUSE

A little while later,

the pelicans lift

out of the water

and form a V,

as they circle

around the beach.

There is no squawking or noise.

It’s as if they all just connected

and understood.

You understand and feel

the beauty in that.

PAUSE

As you continue to watch the pelicans,

you notice their patient approach

to catching their food.

They fly a few feet above the water,

Gazing into it,

waiting for the right opportunity.

Then, when the opportunity arises,

they dive.

They scoop up a fish

with their beaks,

and tip back their necks

to swallow it.

They return to patiently flying

and looking for more food together.

PAUSE

Moments later,

the pelicans change directions

and fly out toward the horizon,

the wings open and gliding,

forming a silhouette 

against the sun.

PAUSE

Now, draw in a deep breath,

and let the energy of the pelicans

into you.

Feel their patience

and connectedness to each other. 

PAUSE

Now, take a moment,

and allow yourself 

to create an intention

from the pelican’s energy.

“I will approach life with patience for myself and others.”

PAUSE

Draw in another breath,

and let the intention really into

your heart.

As it settles there,

know that you can access it,

and the essence of the pelican,

at any time.

It is yours always.

NAMASTE, BEAUTIFUL
