The night closes around you
like a fluffy blanket,
cozying up to you,
and letting the softness
of sleep unfold in you.

LONG PAUSE

Your breathing naturally slows,
and your body sinks
gently into the folds 
of your bed.

LONG PAUSE

You keep breathing,
becoming aware of your breath,
and of the lightness
of your body.
It feels delicious.

LONG PAUSE

As you continue breathing slowly, comfortably,
imagine yourself 
in a warm shower
with the beads of water
streaming down your back.

PAUSE

The watery massage relaxes you,
and lets your mind,
as well as your muscles,
ease up naturally.

PAUSE

You put your head 
in the shower stream,
and let the warm water droplets
massage your scalp and neck.

PAUSE

After a few moments
of relaxing in the steamy water,
a vision appears.
The steam of the shower
transforms into mist of a forest.

PAUSE

You follow the mist
in your vision,
and it leads 
you to the edge
of a lake.

PAUSE

Slowly, you tip your toe
into the lake.
The magical waters
send healing ripples of energy
Through you. 

PAUSE

You descend into the lake,
letting your body 
be enveloped in healing.

PAUSE

Each drop of water that 
touches you,
renews you,
restores your energy.

PAUSE

You gently roll onto your back,
floating comfortably in the water.
Your eyes scan the lush green forest
circling the lake.
You smile at the
hidden gem of nature 
that has revealed itself to you.

PAUSE

Gazing up at the
powdery blue sky,
you see dozens of 
clouds like painted streams
across a canvas.

PAUSE

Colorful birds fly in and out
of the forest,
chirping in joy and then soaring
into the wispy clouds above.

PAUSE

A pink and green fish jumps,
plopping into the water
and sending bubbles
to the surface 
like secret smoke signals.

PAUSE
 
In the distance,
a mother deer and her fawn
quietly lap up the water
from the lake,
then scamper off.

PAUSE

While floating on your back,
you notice the sunlight
filtering through the trees,
each thread of light
casting shadows 
of leaves and trees.

PAUSE

While gazing at the sunlight,
two brown squirrels
chase each other in the trees,
causing the sunlight
to shimmy and shake
as it reflects.

PAUSE

Slowly, you paddle 
to the side of the lake
where a large towel
magically opens,
waiting to embrace you.

PAUSE

The cushy towel folds around you,
gently drying you and warming you,
and you take moment 
to thank the lake and the forest
for all their beauty.

PAUSE

You snuggle deep in the towel
And close your eyes.
When you open them again,
you are home in your own bathroom
wrapped in a towel.

PAUSE

And though your time 
at the forest lake has ended,
the peace and beauty it brought
rests comfortably inside you
now and always.


NAMASTE, BEAUTIFUL
