LONG PAUSE Then take your ball and toss it high into the sky, where a passing cloud catches it, and sails it away. LONG PAUSE Now, take a moment to center yourself and breathe. And as you exhale deeply, entirely, snuggle up in your bed and get as comfortable as you can. LONG PAUSE It starts with the number one. See if you can imagine it, the number one, rising from the shadows, standing before you. PAUSE Your number one  reaches up to the sky, tall and powerful, like the tree of life, the ancient tree of wisdom. PAUSE And as you take a breath, the one, now an ancient tree, grows before you. Its branches stretch and bend and swirl, while its leaves gently unfurl. PAUSE The leaves, like iridescent jewels, glitter in the sun and radiate the power  of beginnings for you. PAUSE Now take a moment  and notice the trunk  of the tree. It’s the color  of acorns  and owls  and clay. The colors of Mother Earth. PAUSE Now, take a minute and breathe in and observe how the tree, plants itself in the ground, unrolling its unseen roots. PAUSE See if you can imagine  seeing roots wind and wend, tangle and untangle, holding firm the tree with the wisdom of the past coiled within them. PAUSE Take a pause for just a moment, and gaze at the tree, letting its secret images  unfold to you in the bark. PAUSE See if you can imagine a silvery sword  appearing in the bark, sharp and powerful. PAUSE As your eyes follow the sword, from handle to tip, you feel its gifts being shared. The sword shines  with mental clarity for you. PAUSE Now, see if you can picture the sword spinning, transforming into a golden chalice, that sparkles in the sunlight. PAUSE The chalice moves you, filling your heart  with feeling  and inspiration and opening your intuition. PAUSE And imagine now  that the chalice shifts, and transforms  into a magic wand. PAUSE You reach out to  touch the wand, and its energy  dissolves into you, energy that opens you to act. PAUSE And imagine, now, that the wand trembles, changing its shape  into a golden coin. PAUSE Then, if you can, picture yourself moving your hand over the coin, feeling its smoothness  and taking in  its grounding power. PAUSE Now see if you can open your heart to accept these powerful gifts and to hold them deep in your heart, deep in your soul. PAUSE As you take in these gifts, you step back from the tree  to gaze in gratitude at all of it, from its roots  to the tips of its leaves. PAUSE There, before you,  a tree both old and wise and new and green. Your tree, your number one, blossoming with possibility. PAUSE Now, see if you can imagine silver light covering the tree, silver light like a mirror that reflects your radiant image. PAUSE As you look at your reflection, you see that you are all that is in and around this tree. This tree that grew from the number one is you. PAUSE Slowly, the tree fades, and while it  dissolves into the ether, you feel its energies and wisdom grow in you. You are the tree. You are the One.
