Allow yourself to settle and find a comfortable position that lets you relax.
Turn your focus inward,
Noticing your breath and letting each healing breath touch any
pain or tension lingering in you.
If any stray thoughts cross your mind,
Just visualize all of those floating away and dissolving.
Now imagine that you're sitting by a crystal blue river on a cool spring day.
The sun is glowing brightly,
The sky is sapphire blue,
And the trees are coming alive with
tiny colorful buds.
The air is a mixture of the sun's warmth and the cool crispness in the breeze,
And it feels
so lovely lapping against your cheeks.
Pause in this beauty and take it in through your senses,
And now imagine an area of bubbles
popping in the center of the river.
The bubbles fascinate you as they grow bigger and bigger,
And after a moment,
The bubbles
seem to come together as if forming a shape.
Slowly,
A beautiful woman rises from the bubbles into the air before you.
She is robed in white,
With onyx hair gently cascading around her.
A silvery,
Ethereal glow shimmers all around her.
The woman draws closer to you and nods,
And instinctively you nod too.
I am the spirit of the water,
She says.
Then the woman 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.
A tiny pulse charges through your hand as you continue making whirlpools.
Feelings of life and renewal surge through you.
The water is alive.
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.
After a moment,
A flock of birds arrive and drink the waters of the river.
They squawk and chirp,
Filled with life and energy.
Then a moose trots to the edge of the river.
The tip of his nose nuzzling the life-giving water while his tongue partakes.
Moments later,
The woman raises her arms again.
Within seconds,
Hundreds of colorful wildflowers bloom around the bank.
Pink,
Yellow,
Blue,
And white flowers dot the landscape and send a pleasing sweet aroma
into the air.
A gurgling noise catches your attention.
Gazing into the waters,
You see dozens of fish gnawing on river grass.
One jumps and wriggles in the air.
The woman draws close to you.
She reaches into the river,
Cupping her hands and offering you a drink.
You accept and drink in the water.
As you drink,
The life of the water pulses through you,
Giving you energy and power.
The woman nods to you and returns to the center of the river,
Where a swell of bubbles brings
her home to her water.
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.
And the water is alive in you.
Namaste,
Beautiful.
