So Let’s Begin…
THE TRANQUIL SPIRIT OF WATER SLEEP MEDITATION SCRIPT
Settle yourself,
Finding a comfortable position
that lets you relax.
LONG PAUSE
Turn your focus inward,
Noticing your breath,
And letting each healing breath,
Touch any pain or tension
lingering in you.
LONG PAUSE
Continue breathing in relaxation,
And, if any stray thought
crosses your mind,
just visualize it floating away
for now.
LONG PAUSE
Now, imagine, if you can,
sitting by crystal blue river
on a cool spring day.
PAUSE
The sun is glowing brightly.
The sky is sapphire blue.
And the trees are coming alive
with tiny, colorful buds.
PAUSE
The air is a mixture of
the sun’s warmth
and the cool crispness
in the breeze.
It feels lovely
lapping against your cheeks.
PAUSE
Pause in this beauty,
and take it in
through your senses.
PAUSE
And now, imagine, if you can,
an area of bubbles popping
in the center of the river.
The bubbles fascinate you,
as they grow bigger and bigger.
PAUSE
After a moment,
the bubbles seem to
come together,
as if forming a shape.
PAUSE
And, as you watch,
a beautiful woman,
rises from the bubbles,
into the air before you.
PAUSE
She is robed in white buffalo,
with onyx hair gently cascading
around her.
An silvery ethereal glow shimmers
around her.
PAUSE
The maiden draws closer to you.
She nods.
Instinctively, you nod, too.
“I am the Spirit of the Water,” she says.
PAUSE
Then, the maiden
Invites you to the water’s edge.
You follow and
kneel on the bank,
and at her encouraging,
gently make a whirlpool
with your hand.
“The water is alive,” she says to you.
“Feel the life of the water.”
PAUSE
A tiny pulse charges through your hand,
As you continue making whirlpools.
Feelings of life and renewal
surge through you.
The water is alive.
PAUSE
Then, the woman
drifts back to the center of the river.
She looks to the sky
and raises her hands.
A soft drum beats in the background.
PAUSE
After a moment,
A flock of birds arrives
and drinks the waters
of the river.
They squawk and chirp,
filled with life and energy.
PAUSE
Then a moose trots
to the edge of the river,
The tip of his nose nuzzling
the life-giving water
while his tongue partakes.
PAUSE
Moments later,
The maiden raises her arms again.
Within seconds,
hundreds of colorful wildflowers
bloom around the bank.
Pink, yellow, blue, white flowers
dot the landscape
and send a pleasing, sweet aroma
into the air.
PAUSE
A gurgling noise
catches your attention.
Gazing into the waters,
you see dozens of fish
gnawing on river grass
and burbling.
One jumps and wriggles in the air.
PAUSE
Then, the maiden draws close to you.
She reaches into the river,
cupping her hands,
and offering you a drink.
You accept and drink in the water.
PAUSE
As you drink,
The life of the water,
pulses through you,
bestowing energy and power
upon you.
PAUSE
The maiden nods to you,
and returns to the center of the river,
where a swell of bubbles
brings her home to her water.
PAUSE
And, while you may not see her anymore,
you feel her spirit,
The water’s spirit,
bubbling in you.
And you feel
the beautiful wildflowers
opening with life.
And the birds singing
with joy.
And the animals
rejuvenating,
All from the life of the water.
The water is alive in you.
NAMASTE, BEAUTIFUL
