Breathe in peace and comfort, 

and embrace the stillness

in the air, as it 

softly encases you.

LONG PAUSE

Breathe again,

feeling the peace and comfort

spreading through you

along with a 

wonderful, warm feeling of love.

LONG PAUSE

Continue breathing

until you naturally find

a gently rhythm that

allows the peace, comfort and love

to flow through you 

with ease.

LONG PAUSE

With your next exhale,

imagine standing before

a majestic Buddhist temple

tucked high in the mountaintops.

PAUSE

The temple is red 

with touches of white,

and its pagoda-like tiers

are breathtaking 

and lift like wings 

to the azure sky above.

PAUSE

As you gaze at the temple,

you notice it rests

on a secure rectangular platform.

PAUSE

Closing your eyes, 

you reach out and touch 

the wooden platform,

and as you do,

images of nature

flood you.

PAUSE

In your mind’s eye,

The elements shoot up

and stand guard around you,

and plants and flowers

sprawl out

like a tapestry.

PAUSE

As your fingers

run over the platform,

you feel peacefully grounded

in all that is Mother Earth.

PAUSE

A breeze with a hint 

of coolness

catches in your hair,

and you open your eyes

to see a dome-shaped

entrance to the temple.

PAUSE

Gently, you run 

your hand over it,

letting a wave of love

and joy ripple through you.

PAUSE

You take a breath,

and center yourself,

just as a group of monks

enter the temple.

PAUSE

A young monk notices you,

flashes a quick smile that 

spans his whole face,

and nods,

a clue to follow him

into the temple.

PAUSE

As you enter,

you are enveloped

in a river of peace

that gently 

streams through you.

PAUSE

You give yourself 

a moment just to breathe

as you take in 

the aura of the temple.

PAUSE

As you look around the temple,

you notice the beautiful

burgundy-colored robes

draped over the monks’

sun-colored shirts.

PAUSE

Some of the monks

sit on gold and red pillows

that dot the floor;

there is one left just for you.

PAUSE

With ease and comfort,

you sit on the pillow,

watching the monks

prepare for meditation.

PAUSE

One monk lights dozens

of oil lamps

With corners

that bend upward

like a sail blown

by the wind.

PAUSE

The room shimmers 

in the light,

while another monk

lights some incense.

PAUSE

The aroma permeates 

the air –

scents of wood and herbs

deepen your relaxation

as you comfortably 

breathe them in.

PAUSE

Then, the monks 

sit quietly on the pillows

and begin chanting,

“Om Mani Padme Hum.”

“Om Mani Padme Hum.”

PAUSE

The words gently

reverberate in the air,

and as the chant

envelopes you,

there’s a sense of

weightless to your body.

PAUSE

After a few moments,

the words gently

tumble off your tongue:

“Om Mani Padme Hum.”

PAUSE

And with each word you chant,

it’s as if you’re being 

lifted to the heavens,

levitating in peace

and divine freedom.

PAUSE

After a while,

the chanting stops,

and prayerful energy

enters the space.

PAUSE

In this time

and space,

you find your own prayer–

a prayer of peace,

love, and gratitude.

PAUSE

And with each word of your prayer,

you know you are changed.

you are now a beacon 

of peace, love, and gratitude.

NAMASTE, BEAUTIFUL
