Allow that awareness to  Help you relax, Let go, Be open. LONG PAUSE Keep breathing, And staying in the present. Let your mind and body Find peaceful balance. Find pure relaxation That melts you into your bed. LONG PAUSE Now imagine… Floating on the wings of a heron, Across a rose-tinged sky, With the sun bursting forth in morning light, While you glide by. PAUSE And on the wings of this heron,  Into a frothy marsh you land, With black cattails waving in unison, Like a Japanese fan. PAUSE And a fish breaks the silence, Bubbling up against the surface, While you breathe into space, And wonder about your life’s purpose. PAUSE The heron turns to you while sitting on his back, With a spark of understanding shining in his eyes, And you know in that instant that This unique bird gets you and is wise. PAUSE Then, The bird stands straight and lifts its great wings, And you hold on gently, With deep care, As you rise, Rise high into the air. PAUSE The sun beams full and warm, Like toasty kisses against your cheeks. And after a long silence, You breathe deep, And decide to speak. PAUSE “You are a great blue heron, like royalty in the air. And when you pause near other fish or fowl, It’s like they bow. “But what magnificent heron are you doing with me? You could be doing anything, Anywhere else, With your grace and majesty.” PAUSE And, the beak of the blue heron shot up and pierced the air. And he let out a shrill squawk, Like the cry of an animal, Before he was ready to talk. PAUSE And then in a voice like the gentle ripples of a wave, The bird began to softly sing and then talk, And somehow, It was okay. PAUSE “To know your purpose and who you really are, Let go of the thoughts that Lock you behind bars.” “Instead, let your heart soar like you’re flying with me. Sail over hilltops and valleys, mountains, oceans and more. And then land in peace and gratitude, Eager to know what else is in store.” PAUSE Then, the heron takes flight again With you in tow, And you perch on a tree branch, Above the water below. PAUSE And while he shakes his feathers and squawks aloud, You’re relaxed and comfortable and dust off yourself, And embracing his words, You smile in peace and ask,“What else?” PAUSE Between his beak, it seems the heron is smiling, Like a show of approval from a teacher to a student, It’s as if you’re arriving. To the place you want to be in your life, Filled with peace and relaxation. It’s yours to create. You need no explanation. PAUSE So, let go of the doubts, And the doubters, The excuses and more, Remember. Embrace this: it’s your time to soar. You don’t have to wait, To create your thing. Just breathe in peace And spread your wings.

Take a deep breath, and let any tension in your body fall away. LONG PAUSE Breathe some more, And allow the stillness of the night To calm you. To relax you. LONG PAUSE Breathe again. Allow your body to let go, to just melt into the bed. LONG PAUSE Now, imagine if you can, a great horned owl, perched majestically  on a tree branch outside your window. PAUSE As you look at the creature, You see the seriousness in his rich black eyes, and also the calmness. PAUSE As you gaze at him, a feeling of protection unfolds around you. you feel safe with the guardian of the night standing sentry near your room. PAUSE After a moment,  a full moon  peers out from behind a sea of clouds. The owl, his tree, and the entire world are bathed in silver light. PAUSE As you watch from the window, The owl spreads his wings, hoots, and comes to the window sill. In a moment, the great owl’s wings wrap gently around you, until you’re hoisted onto its back. Together, you both take to the sky. PAUSE Secured safely in the feathers of the owl,  you soar toward the moon, toward the millions of stars dancing in the night. PAUSE You can see the moon reflecting in the owl’s eyes, as you skim the tops of tall pines in a forest. Tonight, you are both guardians of the night, children of moonlight. PAUSE Then the sea whispers to you, In between each roll of her waves.  What does she say? PAUSE After a while, the owl sinks into the trees, and lands on a large limb, overlooking a lake. PAUSE The lake shimmers with the moonlight skipping upon it, and a few fish bobbing up and down. At first, you think the owl will swoop down and scoop up a fish, but the guardian stays still. And waits. PAUSE Many moments pass, But then you hear it. Another hoot in the distance. Another great horned owl approaches. PAUSE Moments later, the second owl lands on the branch, and a chorus of hoots ensues. PAUSE At first, the music of the owls is a language not known. Then magically, their hoots transform Into words, and you become privy to their conversation. PAUSE The two protectorates of the night talk back and forth about their duties, and how to keep the forest safe. Then, just as quickly as it began, the conversation ends, and the second owl takes to the sky. PAUSE Many moments pass, and then the great horned owl hoots again. only this time, you understand. you are on your way home, back to the comfort of your bed. PAUSE The bird lifts its wings, and together you fly in the moonlight, steadily gliding into the night’s thin air. Landing on your window sill,  the owl bends over  as you gently slide off its back. As you walk to your bed, you give a turn and one more look. There, perched in the tree, is your guardian of the night ready to watch over you, and keep you safe, as you dream.

Softening your eyes and cheeks of rose. Ebbing the tension in your forehead and brows, and easing the muscles all around. LONG PAUSE Inhale deeply from the well of your soul, and then release the breath, letting it unfold before you, with a gentle call Pulling you into your deepest walls. LONG PAUSE As you breathe deeply, with tranquil grace Relaxation touches your body and face with long, smooth, and even breaths bathing you fully, so you can rest. LONG PAUSE You may notice that sometimes, Your thoughts are tight within your mind keeping it turned on  when you crave to unwind. LONG PAUSE Just breathe, and know that it’s okay, Let your thoughts loosen their grips and fade away. It’s all right. It’s all calm.  A peaceful rain will be your balm. PAUSE As you travel inward where it’s quiet, In a place that’s secret and private, imagine yourself on a beach with the tide flowing at your feet. PAUSE In the distance, clouds gather, Thunder purrs, and rain patters, A tense thought crosses your mind, then is carried away by the clouds in the sky. PAUSE And the thunder murmurs more, and the rain cascades in sheets. Now, it’s soothing to your soul and healing to your needs. PAUSE So, let your feet soak more in the sea’s lather Blue-green seafoam that tickles, then scatters. Feel the rain as it cleanses and moves within, And the thunder and your heartbeat make a connection. PAUSE And the rainshower and hushed thunder  move with intention to your center. Where they blanket it in serenity,   While the wind sways you, restfully. PAUSE To your mind, the storm now delicately alights, clearing stray thoughts and opening you to light, while your head unties more and more thoughts, that float away on rain clouds and, for now, are lost. PAUSE Imagine you are free to relax and to release, the rest of that tension that leaves you with peace. The rain and the thunder, the storm clouds, too, disappear as you sleep in the stillness of your room. PAUSE And you feel your mind calm and in a new dream dimension that’s free and sailing gently without any tension. Your body and soul are safe and warm. You created this peace with your magic thunderstorm.

How long have you been wishing That someone would notice your pain? PAUSE… We need to eat; it’s a fact of life. We need to nourish ourselves. But nourishment comes in many forms, What you need may not come from the shelves. PAUSE… What exactly do you hunger for? What would fill you up? What have you been missing out on? And how long have you gone without? PAUSE… The first step toward satisfaction Is to name the thing you seek. To see it and feel it and call it out, The Universe will see your technique. PAUSE… Think about why you’re in the back, About why you don’t speak up. What makes you feel less important, Than those you take care of? PAUSE… They need you to be healthy. They need you to be strong. They want to know that you’re okay, That you’re not just playing along. PAUSE… So what will you tell them when they ask, When they see that your shine has faded? How will you tell them to care for you? What yearning begs for urgent attention? PAUSE… How will it feel to get what you need? What will it change deep within? Will guilt rise up to steal your joy, And will you send it packing? LONG PAUSE… Inhale and fortify yourself with thoughts of your power and value. Exhale and liberate yourself from the thoughts that undermine you. PAUSE… Where does this hunger come from? What can it tell you if you listen? Is there something helpful and positive Hiding in its shadows? PAUSE… What’s the secret message, The thread that runs throughout? What can this empty space tell you, About the cost of going without? PAUSE… We all know your heart’s in the right place, That you want what’s best for all. But deprivation just can’t get you there. It just doesn’t have the power. PAUSE… Instead you need indulgence, At least every now and then. You need to see yourself as worth the effort, And make time to see it through. PAUSE… Feel the new energy in your body, The burst that happens when you feed your soul. Sink into the safety of fullness, And let yourself rest there. PAUSE… Imagine how beautiful you look now, Shining with the glow of abundance. Enjoy the warmth coursing through you, Flavored with love and gratitude. PAUSE… So many things feel possible now, So many ideas come forth. It’s hard to know how stunted we are, When we’re just holding on for dear life. PAUSE… But that isn’t you anymore. You’ve asked for what you need. And because those you love truly love you back, What you asked for came to be. LONG PAUSE… Inhale and know you’re part of something bigger than yourself. Exhale with thanks for those who care, those who catch you when you can’t. PAUSE… Think of this as a wakeup call, A reason to make a change. Feeding ourselves is a necessity, Whether food or love or peace. PAUSE… Though change can’t happen overnight, You can do it need by need. Check in with yourself regularly, And pay attention to what you crave. PAUSE… You’re not taking anything from others, When you choose to feed yourself. Instead you’re multiplying what you give, By starting from a place of health. PAUSE… If anyone in your life disputes this, Give that bond some thought. Love is not meant to starve our hearts, But instead to make them swell. LONG PAUSE… Pull in a deep and cleansing breath, hear your heart’s new song. Send out a deep and cleansing breath, sweeping away what doesn’t belong.
