Get comfortable 

wherever you are.

And bring your mind

to the present.

LONG PAUSE

Now, take a breath and

gently scan your body

for any areas of tension

that you’re ready to release.

LONG PAUSE

As you focus on your body,

whenever you come

to an area of tension,

breathe into it

LONG PAUSE

Imagine your breath

opening any tightness or stress

until you feel your whole body

gently easing and relaxing.

PAUSE

Now imagine you hear

a saxophone playing…

and as you look around,

you find yourself seated

in a cozy jazz club.

PAUSE

On stage is a saxophone player

with a black hat

and hips that 

swing to the beat.

PAUSE

The club is dark,

and the dim lights

cast a purple hue over the room 

that mingles with smoke

pirouetting in the air.

PAUSE

The sax player hits jazzy notes

that bounce between 

deep, husky lows 

and vibrant highs.

PAUSE

And you find yourself

moving in rhythm,

gently bouncing from side-to-side 

to the beat of the music.

PAUSE

As you look around the club,

you notice men in wingtip shoes

tapping their feet

and smiling.

PAUSE

You notice women in dresses,

with bright red nails,

tapping their fingers

to the rhythm 

and smiling.

PAUSE

And, you feel a connection

with these people,

a feeling in your soul,

as you move to the beat. 

PAUSE

Now, imagine a piano player

appears on stage 

and begins playing piano

along with the saxophone player.

PAUSE

And some of the men

who tapped their feet

and some of the women

who tapped their fingers

get up to dance.

PAUSE

You draw in a breath 

and feel the music

as it flows through 

your body.

PAUSE

The piano and a sax

flow through you like a river,

moving you deeper into

the present.

PAUSE

The music swirls and twirls 

within you,

rising high and bold,

and dropping low and mellow.

PAUSE

And as each note

vibrates within you,

it unleashes joy,

joy that flows 

throughout your body.

PAUSE

The sax and piano improvise,

and you feel the music opening you,

leading you in new directions,

to new possibilities. 

PAUSE

You take a moment,

and bask 

in the new possibilities 

unfolding before you

PAUSE

You breathe in deeply,

and tuck these new possibilities

into your heart,

feeling gratitude 

for the joy and excitement 

they bring you.

PAUSE

And, as you leave the club,

and walk into the night air,

you feel the sax and piano

playing in your heart,

leaving you excited 

for what’s next.

Namaste, Beautiful
