So Let’s Begin…
THE WATER GIVER SLEEP MEDITATION SCRIPT
Close your eyes,
and let yourself
deeply, deeply relax.
LONG PAUSE
Focus only on relaxing.
Let everything else go.
Let tension go.
Let stress go.
Let distracting thoughts go.
Watch as they lift away from you
like a balloon in the sky.
LONG PAUSE
Breathe in more relaxation,
feeling it spread serenity
through all of you.
LONG PAUSE
Breathe again.
Allow your body
to let go,
to just melt into the bed.
PAUSE
Now, imagine if you can,
sitting on the banks of a river,
just basking in the
Warmth of the sun.
taking in the smells of
nearby wildflowers,
and listening as the water
gently rushes past you.
PAUSE
You feel calm,
peaceful,
and relaxed.
So, you stretch out on the bank,
and allow yourself to rest.
PAUSE
Moments later,
you feel the presence
of someone near,
So you sit up.
PAUSE
At first,
you don’t see anyone.
Then, your eyes catch
a stately figure,
dipping a clay jug
into the water.
PAUSE
It’s a tall, slender woman,
with skin like soft silk,
And a draped robe
of black,
and gold,
and red.
PAUSE
The woman kneels along the bank,
and as woman dips her jug
into the crystal blue water,
she does so with delicate care.
There is something almost sacred
in her movements.
They are like rhythmic dances.
PAUSE
The woman fills the jug to the top,
taking care not to spill,
and then gingerly stands
and lifts the jug
to sit on top of her head.
PAUSE
She balances the jug
with her slender hands,
and with a beautiful posture,
sleek and straight.
Then, she walks away.
PAUSE
Instinctively,
you rise and follow her.
Running to catch up,
you notice that
she literally glides
across the land.
Every step looks like she’s floating.
PAUSE
The woman stares straight ahead,
committed to her mission.
She barely notices you
at her side.
PAUSE
As you walk,
you imagine the village
where the woman
will take the water.
But she walks
in a different direction.
PAUSE
Soon, you arrive at the meadow,
teeming with the wildflowers
you smelled by the river.
PAUSE
The woman removes the jug
From her head,
And with a wave of hand,
The water disperses
To all the flowers.
PAUSE
You watch,
as a magical mist of droplets,
descends on the flowers,
giving them life.
After the water,
you notice the flowers seem brighter,
With even more aromatic smells.
PAUSE
The woman gives a half smile
to the flowers,
And begins walking again.
PAUSE
This time, she finds a forest of trees
that welcomes her shower of
life-giving mist.
Like the flowers,
they seem more alive after their bath.
Greener and taller and stronger.
PAUSE
The woman gives a half smile
to the trees,
And begins walking again.
This time, she walks back to the river.
PAUSE
Sitting on the banks of the river,
you gaze at the woman,
who holds the jug
over the water.
Seconds later,
the water from the river gathers,
And rises in the air
to take the jug from the woman.
The woman turns to you,
and gives you a half smile.
Then she takes a step
on top of the water,
before dissipating
and turning into mist
that disappears in the air.
PAUSE
You lie back on the river bank
And close your eyes again.
You hear the water rushing,
And feel its calm magic within you.
NAMASTE, BEAUTIFUL
