LONG PAUSE And with each cleansing breath, allow the air to  spread through your body, relaxing and  focusing your attention on you. LONG PAUSE While continuing to relax, give yourself permission to let beautiful, magical dreams come to you. LONG PAUSE Now, imagine your room with the blinds or drapes closed, and with a little pinpoint of light peeking through. PAUSE The light fascinates you, so you go to the window  to explore it. PAUSE As you open the blinds, imagine being gently swept into a dream where you stand above a mountain landscape. PAUSE The mountain is laced  with emerald green terraces, cut into the mountainside. They look like wide, green steps in a staircase. PAUSE Gently, you descend on  one of the terraces and realize you’ve landed in a rice paddy  at harvest time. PAUSE Rice grows on each terrace, and men and women with bronze skin, wide-brimmed straw hats and focused expressions harvest the rice. PAUSE The men and women speak In a language like music that you just naturally understand.  PAUSE As you draw closer, a woman looks up at you and bids you to come watch her as she works. PAUSE You comfortably bend over  and observe how she  harvests the rice with intention. Her curved knife smoothly glides through the plant as it separates the golden grains from the main stalk.   PAUSE You run your fingers over the stalks and are surprised  by the coarseness of the grain. PAUSE The woman then takes you to large flat rock  with tubes of bamboo fastened on top;  she hands you some  stalks of rice. PAUSE Together, you thresh the  rice stalks against the bamboo and watch as the rice grains separate and sprinkle  like a shower of golden rain.   PAUSE The woman gathers up the grains in a basket, and turns to look at you. The soft expression and hint of sadness in her eyes tell you it’s time for you to go. PAUSE You fold your hands, bow and thank the woman before being magically transported  back to your room. PAUSE You pause and take a breath, making way for the next dream. PAUSE  Again, a tiny light creeps through the blinds, calling you to come see the wonders behind it. PAUSE As you’re pulled into the dream, you find yourself in a  lush, tropical world  with a majestic volcano in the distance. PAUSE You marvel at the volcano  as it spews  a small amount of steam like a locomotive coming to a stop.   PAUSE Then, a river of lava  courses down the  side of the mountain with mesmerizing hues of orange, red and yellow dancing as they descend. PAUSE The air hangs heavy with  the smell of sulfur and salt while molten lava  shimmers and glows, blazing a trail of change down the mountain. PAUSE While watching the distant volcano, nearby, you notice a man  with wireframe glasses kneeling down and  grasping a handful of  black, moist dirt. PAUSE He lifts his glasses  and inspects the dirt carefully,  and as he does, a wave of understanding washes over you. PAUSE The volcano is Mother Nature’s tool for renewal, tearing down the old landscape and then rebuilding it with rich and fertile ground for more flowers, trees, plants and beauty.
