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
