Breathe. Just breathe.

And let your body,

unfold in peace

with each breath.

LONG PAUSE

Now turn inward,

and take a moment

to express gratitude

for all that is in your life.

LONG PAUSE

And while relaxing,

let your heart and mind

focus on you.

This time is all about you.

LONG PAUSE

Imagine now, a tiny light

opening in your center.

The light is flowing with colors:

White, yellow, orange, and red.

PAUSE

And, this light seems to form

in an area of your body 

that feels delicate,

an area where you’ve 

carried pain or hurt.

PAUSE

Yet, as the light shines,

it absorbs the hurt,

taking away the sting

of the feeling.

PAUSE

The light glows,

and after a moment,

you understand that the light

is really a tiny flame,

a flame of energy.

PAUSE

The flame dances from side-to-side,

and slowly begins to grow,

giving off a feeling of strength,

of power rising from the inside.

PAUSE

As it touches hurt, pain or grief,

it swallows the feelings,

leaving ashes that

simply float away.

It replaces them

with strength.

PAUSE

Soon the energy flame

has danced and grown

all through your core,

radiating pure strength.

PAUSE

As it grows, 

there may be a part of you 

that is hesitant–

a part of you questions

just how strong you are.

PAUSE

The flame invites you

to embrace all of you.

It whispers within that

you have incredible strength–

strength beyond your imagination.

PAUSE

And as the flame shines,

it gives off more power.

You notice that its edges

begin to change,

to fan out

in different directions.

PAUSE

The flame transforms slowly

until you notice what appears

to be wings opening on each side

and the shape of a head. 

PAUSE

After a moment,

the shape evolves

into a bird, a Phoenix,

the bird of fire and power.

PAUSE

Now, imagine that this 

beautiful bird of fire,

this bird of strength and energy

enfolds all of you 

in its wings.

PAUSE

Then, slowly,

you and the phoenix rise,

lifting above the house

into the night sky.

PAUSE

The air is cool,

and you feel completely comfortable

with this powerful energy

carrying you higher.

PAUSE

Against the night sky,

the fiery phoenix shines

like a beacon of hope for you,

glowing brighter

than the moon and stars.

PAUSE

Then the phoenix pauses,

and opens its wings.

And as it does,

you realize your arms

are the fiery wings.

You and the phoenix 

are one.

PAUSE

Suspended against 

backdrop of the night sky,

you feel the blaze of energy, 

the strength and passion

of the phoenix

as it courses through you,

empowering you.

PAUSE

And with this bold, new energy,

You, the phoenix, 

glide back to your room,

to a welcome bed.

PAUSE

As you land,

the wings of fire

fold inward,

ready for you to 

call on them again,

at any time.

PAUSE

You understand that

you are a phoenix,

with great strength and power,

and you can 

rise from the ashes

again and again.

Nothing keeps you down.

NAMASTE, BEAUTIFUL
