Breathe deep and slow,
Gathering yourself in peace for a night of complete rest.
Feel a wave of relaxation starting at your toes and moving slowly through all of your body.
Take another slow,
Deep breath,
And feel the wave of relaxation rolling over you once again.
Now,
See if you can visualize standing by a sapphire lake.
There are rocks jutting out from the sides,
And green water grasses wafting in a breeze.
A black water bird skirts across the top of the water,
Then ducks its head beneath the surface to catch a tiny fish.
Dragonflies dance in the air,
And every once in a while,
They alight on a lily pad or blade of grass.
Breathe in gently,
And notice the tranquil feeling you have just standing and watching nature softly hum in and around the water.
Now,
You notice a pool of bubbles forming in the middle of the lake.
Over time,
The bubbles seem more intense as they rise out of the water,
And as they do,
They turn to white water that cascades back into the lake.
The bubbles continue rising like a 360-degree waterfall,
Then slowly the bubbles fade away.
Now,
Imagine you see the silhouette of a woman appearing in the middle of the lake.
She glistens in silver that radiates her glow like the sun.
Then she sees you,
And a wide smile crosses her face.
She extends her arm,
Welcoming you to join her.
Without a second thought,
You step onto the water,
And it supports you fully as you walk toward her.
When you reach her,
She folds her arms around you in an airy hug,
And you feel her total acceptance.
Then,
After a moment,
You and the water goddess sink into the lake.
You are totally safe and comfortable.
Beneath the surface,
You breathe easily and walk with the goddess effortlessly.
As you stroll together,
Fish pause and seem to bow.
The water goddess smiles and raises her hand in a gesture of peace.
A few moments later,
You come upon a cave that glistens in silver like the water goddess.
You know instantly this is where she lives.
As you enter the cave,
You see gleaming mussel shells lining the walls and glistening like gems.
The goddess beckons you to sit in a large clamshell lined with the softest grass,
And you nestle comfortably in this grassy chair.
Then,
The water goddess speaks,
But her words come telepathically,
Not verbally,
And in seconds she conveys to you the story of her life.
You feel imbued with her knowledge,
You feel imbued with her peace.
She speaks again,
And this time she shares all she knows about your life.
You feel comforted that she knows and fully accepts you.
Time passes,
But not in a linear fashion.
You become aware that you have no idea how long you've spent with the water goddess,
And she recognizes this and smiles,
And then thanks you for visiting,
And expresses her hope that you will share her knowledge of the water with others.
Then,
With a wave of her hand,
A current of water carries you out of the glistening cave,
Through the lake,
And back to shore.
Then you arrive on the bank of the lake,
Completely dry.
As you stand again on the shore of the lake,
You feel its tranquility is now a part of you,
Like the water of the lake flows through you,
Gifting you with peace and love.
Namaste,
Beautiful.
