If we can look our fear in the eyes, 

If we can open our hearts to it,

We might be able to see beyond, 

The scary cloak it wears,

And understand it…

And ourselves…

Better. 

PAUSE…

We might be able to look it in the eyes,

And hold our gaze.

PAUSE…

We might even take fear’s hand,

And walk towards our dreams,

Trembling, yet confident,

That we will figure things out. 

So breathe in,

And allow yourself to open.

Vulnerable, 

Imperfect,

You.

PAUSE…

Let your body relax,

Sinking deeper with every breath out. 

PAUSE…

Be here in this moment, 

Heart open to your fears.

Notice them sitting beside you,

And surrounding you.

PAUSE…

Be here with them,

Breathing out your desire to run,

Or numb,

Or ignore. 

PAUSE…

Be here with your fears.

LONG PAUSE (3 MINS)...


Namaste, Beautiful

Give yourself the space 
to just relax,
to gather yourself,
and just relax.

PAUSE

And,while you’re relaxing,
imagine, if you can,
standing tall and proud
in a beautiful field,
as a sunflower.

PAUSE

Now, take a moment,
and notice your outer self
as a sunflower.

You have a tall, sturdy stalk,
that grounds and supports you.
And you’re grateful for that.

There are many serrated-edged leaves
That gather sunlight and make food for you.
And you’re grateful for that.

And you have an amazing flower head,
that’s several inches wide,
surrounded by yellow petals.
And when people look at it,
it makes them smile.
And you’re grateful for that.

PAUSE

Now, imagine feeling your radiance
as a sunflower,
a confidence and self-assuredness,
because you know what you are.
And that makes you happy.

PAUSE

Now, imagine bringing that radiance,
confidence, and self-assuredness
back to you as yourself.

How does that feel?

PAUSE

Now, breathe,
and take a minute 
to come back 
to being you.

PAUSE

Draw in another deep breath,
and touch your hand to your center.
Feel the essence of the sunflower
In you.

Acknowledge its strength.
Acknowledge its confidence.
Acknowledge its happiness.

And give yourself permission
to let those gifts live in your core.

PAUSE

Now, breathe again.
Breathe and feel the
sunflower growing in you.

And, if ever you have
a moment doubting your strength,
or doubting your confidence,
or doubting your happiness,
just touch your center 
where your sunflower is,
and you’ll know who you really are.

NAMASTE, BEAUTIFUL

Breathe.
and let the breath fill you,
opening you
and releasing any tension.

PAUSE

Continue breathing,
And let yourself 
feel your body and mind
quieting and becoming more focused.

PAUSE

Now, visualize, if you can,
walking into a room
with a table at the center.
And on the table
are sprigs of lavender
and a glass bowl with a lotus flower.

PAUSE

You walk to the table
and reach for the lavender.
Sitting quietly in a chair,
you hold the flower 
to you nose
and breathe.

PAUSE

As you breathe in the scent,
your mind and body relax.
the flower smells light and fresh,
with a gentle calming effect.

You take some time
and indulge in tranquility.

PAUSE


After a while, 
you put the lavender down,
and lean over the bowl
to smell the lotus.
A sweet floral aroma
fills your nose,

PAUSE

As you sit with
the scent of the lotus,
You feel your consciousness open,
as if connecting with the Divine.

Take a minute and sit with the Divine.
Listen to what message 
Spirit wants you to bring to you.

PAUSE

Now, take a deep breath,
and come back to the present.
And, as you do,
feel yourself carrying the gifts 
of the Lavender and the Lotus with you.

The gift of calm. The gift of Divine connection.

They are yours now forever more.

NAMASTE, BEAUTIFUL

Gather your thoughts 
and give yourself permission
to let them go,
to let them drift away
from your consciousness.
LONG PAUSE
Now breathe.
Just breathe.
and let your mind relax more,
while you turn inward.
LONG PAUSE
As you breathe in and out,
you pause and listen, 
til you find a gentle rhythm
that hums with your body.
LONG PAUSE
As you focus on the rhythm,
imagine the hum
beginning to beat
like a drum.
PAUSE
The drum beats slowly 
and steadily.
Gentle beats
tinged with an energy
that awakens you
from the inside.
PAUSE
Draw in a breath again
and allow your mind to open…
Open to seeing the 
beautiful, handmade drum
of your soul.
PAUSE
Now, take a moment 
to look at the drum,
to see your hand reaching out 
and touching it, exploring it
with curiosity and love.
PAUSE
And as the drum beats,
you observe colors escaping
and dancing before you
and all around you,
Altogether.
PAUSE
Your soul drum holds rainbows 
that light up from within,
and mountains that 
keep you strong and steady.
PAUSE
Your soul drum holds
the colors of the desert
that swirl like sand 
all around you, all in you.
 PAUSE
Your soul drum holds
the colors of the ocean, 
Blues and greens that 
flow by you and in you
in rhythmic waves.
PAUSE
And after a moment,
the drumbeat quickens, 
ever so slightly,
with more colors
playing before you, 
and playing in you.
PAUSE
All the colors of life
live and breathe
in your soul drum….
In you.
PAUSE
Imagine now that the colors
take shape,
and that those shapes
become people,
people dancing to the drum.
PAUSE
And those people have colors,
dancing to the beat,
dancing to your soul drum.
PAUSE
And as the dance goes on,
you notice more drums 
join in,
building energy within you.
PAUSE
Now imagine, the drums
are accompanied by singing
in all different languages
and shouts of joy.
PAUSE
And as the drums play,
and the people dance and shout for joy,
you notice the energy 
lifting and awakening you.
PAUSE
And again, 
you draw in a deep breath,
while the drums keep playing 
and the people keep dancing
and the joyful energy moves through you.
PAUSE
Now, imagine 
that the dancers slowly dissolve
And the extra drummers fade
until you hear just your soul drum again.
PAUSE
Allow yourself to 
draw in a deep breath,
and notice that the drumbeat 
slowly melts into a hum again.
PAUSE
And as you listen to the hum,
it begins to soften
to blur
and to slowly evaporate within.
PAUSE
And as the noises dissolve in you
you notice a gift they leave.
You feel their energy and life
flowing through you.
PAUSE
Now imagine all the energy 
of your soul drum,
including all of Mother Nature
and all the world’s people,
dancing with life within you.
PAUSE
And as you embrace this energy,
see yourself gently opening your eyes
and greeting the day 
with joy and a smile.



Namaste, Beautiful

Center yourself,
gathering your awareness,
and bringing it inward.

PAUSE

Breathe.
Let each breath
deepen your awareness.
Let each breath
awaken your consciousness.

PAUSE

Now, pause for a moment,
and see if you can imagine
sitting on a pier.

The sun is shining.
You can feel its warmth
on your cheeks.

A gentle breeze 
tussles your hair.

And little waves
lap against the 
pillars of the pier.

PAUSE

Now, draw in a deep breath,
and imagine seeing a fisherman
near you.

You sit quietly
and observe
the fisherman.

PAUSE

As you watch him,
the first thing you notice
is his silence.

He sits serenely,
with an abundance of patience,
just waiting for a tug on his line.

There is peace 
in and around him.

PAUSE

You draw in a breath,
and let the peace
you see in the fisherman
settle in you.

PAUSE

Then, you notice his gaze.
It’s far off and meditative.
Like there’s something
well beyond his fishing line.

You look toward the horizon
where the sun and water meet.
A calm comes over you.

PAUSE

After a moment,
the fisherman rises.
He winds the reel smoothly.
It clicks continuously–
The only noise in the air–
until the line is completely in.
Then he hooks on the rod 
and packs up.

Then softly,
gingerly,
he leaves the dock.

PAUSE

Now, take a deep breath,
and bring your consciousness
back to the present,
And, as you do, 
bring the tranquility
of the fisherman
with you.

PAUSE

Hold onto the peace you feel.
Keep it with you 
throughout your day.
And know that if it begins to slip,
just breathe, and go back to the dock,
next to the fisherman.
And the beautiful peace
will return to you.

NAMASTE, BEAUTIFUL

Close your eyes,
and breathe into yourself.
Allow any tension to 
just melt away.

PAUSE

And, as you breathe,
see if you can visualize
standing out in the rain–
a summer rain shower.

Let yourself feel the raindrops
as they touch your skin.

PAUSE

And while standing in the rain, 
you notice that it gets 
harder and loud
for a minute.

Just let yourself feel it.

PAUSE

After a moment, 
you notice that the rain softens.
It barely makes a sound,
and just tickles your skin.

PAUSE

Now, take a deep breath,
and imagine 
there’s a little wind with the rain,
that tilts the rain sideways.

You can feel it like tiny pinches to your face.

PAUSE

Now, take a breath,
and as you do,
notice the rain softens again.
This time, it softens
and the sun begins shining
through the raindrops.

Take a moment
and feel the rain
and the sun
on your face.

PAUSE

And while feeling
The rain and the sun,
You notice in the distance
A rainbow arching across the sky.

Open your heart,
and feel the beauty and joy
of the rainbow
in you.

PAUSE

Now, breathe again,
and find yourself
back inside,
dry and comfortable
and looking out at the rain.

PAUSE

As you gaze at the rain,
allow yourself to ponder
how the rain has many facets,
just like you.

And no matter what type of rain falls,
or what facet you are showing the world,
there is a purpose.

A purpose that guides you like a compass.
A purpose that gives you strength.

A purpose that you hold near and dear…
for always.
