Find a comfortable position,
Sitting or lying down.
Close your eyes,
And take a few deep breaths,
Allowing your belly to expand.
In your mind's eye,
See yourself approaching a stone wall with a gate.
Open the gate.
You enter a private,
Tranquil,
Temple garden,
A sacred space that feels timeless and ancient.
The air is filled with a soft scent of jasmine.
Bushes and flowering plants are along the path you walk.
The garden is enclosed by tall stone walls,
Offering a sense of privacy and protection.
The path beneath your feet is smooth and lined with moss,
Inviting you to move slowly and mindfully.
Tall bamboo creaks gently in the breeze.
Each step brings you deeper into this private sanctuary.
In front of you stands a temple,
Adorned with intricate carvings.
You approach the temple slowly,
Feeling the glow of privacy.
Walking slowly up the steps.
In this sacred space,
You are sheltered in privacy and peace.
You are invited to simply be.
Rest in the benevolence and privacy for a few moments now.
Slowly coming back to the time and place you are in.
You can pause in this sanctuary whenever you need.
We will finish today with a beautiful quote from Lao Tzu.
At the center of your being,
You have the answer.
You know who you are,
And you know what you want.
