LONG PAUSE Breathe again, feeling the peace and comfort spreading through you along with a  wonderful, warm feeling of love. LONG PAUSE Continue breathing until you naturally find a gently rhythm that allows the peace, comfort and love to flow through you  with ease. LONG PAUSE With your next exhale, imagine standing before a majestic Buddhist temple tucked high in the mountaintops. PAUSE The temple is red  with touches of white, and its pagoda-like tiers are breathtaking  and lift like wings  to the azure sky above. PAUSE As you gaze at the temple, you notice it rests on a secure rectangular platform. PAUSE Closing your eyes,  you reach out and touch  the wooden platform, and as you do, images of nature flood you. PAUSE In your mind’s eye, The elements shoot up and stand guard around you, and plants and flowers sprawl out like a tapestry. PAUSE As your fingers run over the platform, you feel peacefully grounded in all that is Mother Earth. PAUSE A breeze with a hint  of coolness catches in your hair, and you open your eyes to see a dome-shaped entrance to the temple. PAUSE Gently, you run  your hand over it, letting a wave of love and joy ripple through you. PAUSE You take a breath, and center yourself, just as a group of monks enter the temple. PAUSE A young monk notices you, flashes a quick smile that  spans his whole face, and nods, a clue to follow him into the temple. PAUSE As you enter, you are enveloped in a river of peace that gently  streams through you. PAUSE You give yourself  a moment just to breathe as you take in  the aura of the temple. PAUSE As you look around the temple, you notice the beautiful burgundy-colored robes draped over the monks’ sun-colored shirts. PAUSE Some of the monks sit on gold and red pillows that dot the floor; there is one left just for you. PAUSE With ease and comfort, you sit on the pillow, watching the monks prepare for meditation. PAUSE One monk lights dozens of oil lamps With corners that bend upward like a sail blown by the wind. PAUSE The room shimmers  in the light, while another monk lights some incense. PAUSE The aroma permeates  the air – scents of wood and herbs deepen your relaxation as you comfortably  breathe them in. PAUSE Then, the monks  sit quietly on the pillows and begin chanting, “Om Mani Padme Hum.” “Om Mani Padme Hum.” PAUSE The words gently reverberate in the air, and as the chant envelopes you, there’s a sense of weightless to your body. PAUSE After a few moments, the words gently tumble off your tongue: “Om Mani Padme Hum.” PAUSE And with each word you chant, it’s as if you’re being  lifted to the heavens, levitating in peace and divine freedom. PAUSE After a while, the chanting stops, and prayerful energy enters the space. PAUSE In this time and space, you find your own prayer– a prayer of peace, love, and gratitude. PAUSE And with each word of your prayer, you know you are changed. you are now a beacon  of peace, love, and gratitude.
