Take a deep, cleansing breath,

a breath that opens you

and takes away any stress

from the day.

LONG PAUSE

And breathe in deeply again,

letting the cool, comfort of your bed

relax you as you sink deeper

into it.

LONG PAUSE

And as you breathe,

let your breath form a rhythm,

gently moving in and out

and lulling you into 

a deep, restful calm.

LONG PAUSE

Now, imagine the breath

lightening your body,

so that it feels more open,

almost weightless.

PAUSE

And with this beautiful, relaxed feeling,

notice the sheets of your bed

transforming into fluffy clouds

beneath your body.

PAUSE

After a moment, 

the clouds lift you up

out of room and above

the house,

sailing slowly and gently

through the air.

PAUSE

The air is like satin

around you, giving you a 

wonderful level of comfort

as you float along.

PAUSE

Now, imagine the cloud taking you

to a wooden door with a arched frame

and iron spikes all around like a gate…

a door that leads to a garden.

PAUSE

The door creaks open

and the cloud lets you down,

and you are amazed at the lushness

of the summer garden before you.

PAUSE

There are white and yellow daisies,

purple geraniums, pink peonies

and brilliant magenta hibiscus

blooming everywhere.

PAUSE

You breathe in and catch

the scent of lilac

blossoming in a corner,

Its beautiful purple stocks

bending in the breeze.

PAUSE

As you stroll through 

the rows of rainbow colored flowers,

one of the hibiscus flowers

catches your attention:

A tiny pink and green hummingbird

is sipping its nectar.

PAUSE

You draw closer to the flower,

and the bird doesn’t seem to mind,

as you watch its tiny wings beat

so fast you can barely see them there.

PAUSE

After a satisfying drink,

the little hummingbird lifts in the air

and leaves the garden.

PAUSE

Moments later a honeybee

lands on a daisy,

buzzing like a violin.

PAUSE

Safely, you watch the bee

as it goes right to work

gathering its food and then flitting to 

another flower, 

pollinating it

and giving the garden 

continued life.

PAUSE

Moments later,

a dragonfly flutters by,

pausing briefly in the air

and then on the ground,

its stain-glass wings

shimmering in the sunlight.

PAUSE

A tiny black and gold chipmunk

pokes it head out from behind a shrub,

and a bushy-tailed squirrel

shakes a pine tree

bouncing from limb to limb.

PAUSE

In the center of the garden,

you notice a fountain

carved from stone

with two cherubs dancing

on top.

PAUSE

Water tunnels out from the 

heart of one of the cherubs,

splashing gently into the water below.

As you draw near, you notice 

two large koi fish 

swimming in the fountain,

Their golden scales

slimmering in the water.

PAUSE

You pause, and sit on a stone bench

near the fountain,

so you can take in all

the beauty of the garden.

PAUSE

After a while, you notice the sun

slowly fading,

and the azure blue sky

turing to midnight blue.

PAUSE

A few fireflies light up the garden,

and you watch their hypnotic lights

before noticing the fluffy cloud

has returned.

PAUSE

It’s time to leave the summer garden

but you now carry its beauty with you,

day and night.

Every day.

NAMASTE, BEAUTIFUL
