Settle yourself,

Finding a comfortable position

that lets you relax.

LONG PAUSE

Turn your focus inward,

Noticing your breath,

And letting each healing breath,

Touch any pain or tension

lingering in you.

LONG PAUSE

Continue breathing in relaxation,

And, if any stray thought

crosses your mind,

just visualize it floating away

for now.

LONG PAUSE

Now, imagine, if you can,

sitting by crystal blue river

on a cool spring day.

PAUSE

The sun is glowing brightly.

The sky is sapphire blue.

And the trees are coming alive

with tiny, colorful buds.

PAUSE

The air is a mixture of

the sun’s warmth

and the cool crispness

in the breeze.

It feels lovely

lapping against your cheeks.

PAUSE

Pause in this beauty,

and take it in

through your senses.

PAUSE

And now, imagine, if you can,

an area of bubbles popping

in the center of the river.

The bubbles fascinate you,

as they grow bigger and bigger.

PAUSE

After a moment,

the bubbles seem to

come together,

as if forming a shape.

PAUSE

And, as you watch,

a beautiful woman,

rises from the bubbles,

into the air before you.

PAUSE

She is robed in white buffalo,

with onyx hair gently cascading

around her.

An silvery ethereal glow shimmers

around her.

PAUSE

The maiden draws closer to you.

She nods.

Instinctively, you nod, too.

“I am the Spirit of the Water,” she says.

PAUSE

Then, the maiden

Invites you to the water’s edge.

You follow and

kneel on the bank,

and at her encouraging,

gently make a whirlpool

with your hand.

“The water is alive,” she says to you.

“Feel the life of the water.”

PAUSE

A tiny pulse charges through your hand,

As you continue making whirlpools.

Feelings of life and renewal

surge through you.

The water is alive.

PAUSE

Then, the woman

drifts back to the center of the river.

She looks to the sky

and raises her hands.

A soft drum beats in the background.

PAUSE

After a moment,

A flock of birds arrives

and drinks the waters 

of the river.

They squawk and chirp,

filled with life and energy.

PAUSE

Then a moose trots

to the edge of the river,

The tip of his nose nuzzling

the life-giving water

while his tongue partakes.

PAUSE

Moments later,

The maiden raises her arms again.

Within seconds,

hundreds of colorful wildflowers

bloom around the bank.

Pink, yellow, blue, white flowers

dot the landscape

and send a pleasing, sweet aroma

into the air.

PAUSE

A gurgling noise

catches your attention.

Gazing into the waters,

you see dozens of fish

gnawing on river grass

and burbling.

One jumps and wriggles in the air.

PAUSE

Then, the maiden draws close to you.

She reaches into the river,

cupping her hands,

and offering you a drink.

You accept and drink in the water.

PAUSE

As you drink,

The life of the water,

pulses through you,

bestowing energy and power

upon you.

PAUSE

The maiden nods to you,

and returns to the center of the river,

where a swell of bubbles

brings her home to her water.

PAUSE

And, while you may not see her anymore,

you feel her spirit, 

The water’s spirit,

bubbling in you.

And you feel

the beautiful wildflowers

opening with life.

And the birds singing

with joy.

And the animals

rejuvenating,

All from the life of the water.

The water is alive in you.

NAMASTE, BEAUTIFUL
