Draw in a deep breath,
and let your whole body relax.
Feel the relaxation
spreading throughout.

PAUSE

Breathe in some more,
letting any distracting thoughts
gently drifting away,
leaving you relaxed and peaceful.

PAUSE

Now, imagine seeing a
beautiful sea turtle
with a shell of
brown,
olive green,
and black.

PAUSE

And, as you observe
the turtle,
you notice its
gentle, dark eyes
that scan the water.

PAUSE

You notice the 
effortless motion
of the turtle’s flippers
that glide it through the water.

PAUSE

You notice its rough, wizened face
that suggests decades
of life and wisdom.

PAUSE

As you move along
with the turtle,
you see that it rises to the surface
for a few moments.

It pokes its head out
and then floats,
letting the warm sun
gently bathe its body.

PAUSE

After a while,
the turtle dives 
back into the water.

But the descent is
slow and graceful.

There is no rush.

Just a peaceful progression
to what is next. 

PAUSE

As the turtle reaches the bottom,
it nibbles on some sea grass,
savoring every bite.

Again, there is no rush.

PAUSE

Now, bring yourself back
to the present moment.
And, as you do,
ask yourself 
what have you learned
from the sea turtle.

Can you find areas in your life
where you can slow down?

PAUSE

Breathe.
and create an intention
to slow down the pace of your life,
to give yourself less stress,
and to let every moment matter.

“I will slow down and savor the moment.”

Just like the sea turtle.

Practice,
and it will be yours.
now and always.

NAMASTE, BEAUTIFUL
