Namaste,
I'm Smita Joshi.
Welcome to my meditation practice by the lotus lake.
The sun is hovering just above the horizon.
As dawn breaks across the lake,
The beautiful sound of silence still fills the air.
The first birds awaken to their cheery song.
Pastel hues of a translucent dawn emerge.
Warm peaches,
Golden yellows,
Lilacs and soft pinks capture this precious moment forever.
It's going to be a glorious day today.
Freshness filling the air.
Breathe in the subtle cool dewy scent.
Inhale so,
Exhale hum.
Inhale so,
Exhale hum.
Inhale so,
Exhale hum.
The other side of the lake,
Shrouded in a haze,
Clouding your view,
Not yet clear.
Patches of fog drift across the lake,
Going up to dissolve in the air,
Making way for the rising sun.
Soon,
Rays of the sun pierce through.
Laser beams through the mist.
The lake,
Deep,
Serene.
The ascending sun invites more beauty to bloom.
Lotus buds lie in the bank of the lake near you.
They unfurl their soft,
Colorful petals,
Opening to greet the rising sun,
Celebrating yet another beautiful day.
How the lotus blossoms dance in a trance to the rhythmic ripples of the lucid lake.
Now and then,
The silence is punctuated by a splash and a dip.
The splash of a big fish bounding into the air,
Then diving right back in.
In the wake of the splash,
Tiny circles undulate,
One after another,
Fading gracefully to the edges of the lake.
Follow the slow rhythm of the ripples as you breathe.
Inhale soul,
Exhale hum.
Inhale soul,
Exhale hum.
Inhale soul,
Exhale hum.
The ripples are your thoughts,
Your own beliefs,
Long buried,
Forgotten.
Ancient beliefs needing to surface,
Ready to leave you,
Ready to let go of their hold,
Fading away,
Leaving you light,
Leaving you free.
Surrender your resistance,
Surrender it now.
Inhale soul,
Exhale hum.
Inhale soul,
Exhale hum.
Inhale soul,
Exhale hum.
Soul hum.
Soul hum.
Soul hum.
A kingfisher,
A vibrant,
Mesmerizing blue,
Dives into the water,
Circles rippling out,
Ripples of joy yet to come,
Rolling gently towards you.
The lotus blossoms stand proud and tall,
Embracing the gentle ripples of the lake.
Lotus is growing out of the mud,
Yet the essence of purity.
You too are rooted in the depth of your soul.
Inhale soul,
Exhale hum.
Inhale soul,
Exhale hum.
Inhale soul,
Exhale hum.
The lotus flower in harmony in the rhythm of your own life.
Like the lotus flower,
Ease and grace is now your mantra.
You,
Pure consciousness,
Consciousness at peace within,
At one with all.
Namaste.
