Offering Your Joy As A Gift

Begin by taking a deep breath,

Holding it for five seconds.

Exhale and relax.

Take another deep breath,

Holding for five seconds.

And exhale,

Letting go of all of your stress.

One more breath and hold.

And exhale,

Letting go of any stress you've been holding on to.

Imagine standing on a green meadow,

Soft gentle hills rolling,

Warm breeze flowing.

Making you feel,

Just for these moments,

There's nothing to worry about.

You're under a big oak tree,

Hearing the rustling leaves is so soothing,

Your body relaxes with the sound,

As hope and joy surface in your mind,

Recalling a recent feeling of joy.

Maybe it's from an event,

An incident,

Or a realization,

Or a flash of moment feeling alive.

You would love to offer it to the world,

It will multiply as you give it away.

It's an offering to the network of love.

And you'll leave this offering here,

Under the protection of the great oak tree.

Now visualizing your offer,

It could be in a tangible form,

Or an abstract form.

A pretty garden,

Or a firm hug,

It embodies your offer of joy.

That anyone in true need of this offering will be given it,

And feel its healing,

Joyous effects at the right time.

Just like you have received a hug or a sudden hope sometime in your life,

Now if you have an intention,

You state your intention of who or what this offering can be for.

You state this offering,

This intention,

And give it to the oak tree's care.

All the living beings on this meadow cheer for your offering,

As it is slowly absorbed by this relaxed but cheerful landscape.

And you feel light,

Even lighter than before.

Knowing that your visit has served its purpose,

And that you always have something to give.

You start walking away from the oak tree,

And as you focus on your breathing,

Settling back into your physical body,

Feeling fresh new energy coming in,

Trusting more good will circulate in the world.

When you're ready,

Open your eyes.

Welcome back.
