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 💗💗💗 Check out all the deals from our incredible sponsors here! --> https://womensmeditationnetwork.com/sponsors 💗💗💗 Check out all of our other podcasts at https://womensmeditationnetwork.com Learn more about your ad choices.
