LONG PAUSE Then breathe, just take in slow, deliberate deep breathes that cleanse you. LONG PAUSE And with each cleansing breath, allow the air to spread through your body, relaxing and focusing your attention on you. LONG PAUSE While continuing to relax, give yourself permission to let beautiful, magical dreams come to you. LONG PAUSE Now, imagine your room with the blinds or drapes closed, and with a little pinpoint of light peeking through. PAUSE The light fascinates you, so you go to the window to explore it. PAUSE As you open the blinds, imagine being gently swept into a dream where you stand above a mountain landscape. PAUSE The mountain is laced with emerald green terraces, cut into the mountainside. They look like wide, green steps in a staircase. PAUSE Gently, you descend on one of the terraces and realize you’ve landed in a rice paddy at harvest time. PAUSE Rice grows on each terrace, and men and women with bronze skin, wide-brimmed straw hats and focused expressions harvest the rice. PAUSE The men and women speak In a language like music that you just naturally understand. PAUSE As you draw closer, a woman looks up at you and bids you to come watch her as she works. PAUSE You comfortably bend over and observe how she harvests the rice with intention. Her curved knife smoothly glides through the plant as it separates the golden grains from the main stalk. PAUSE You run your fingers over the stalks and are surprised by the coarseness of the grain. PAUSE The woman then takes you to large flat rock with tubes of bamboo fastened on top; she hands you some stalks of rice. PAUSE Together, you thresh the rice stalks against the bamboo and watch as the rice grains separate and sprinkle like a shower of golden rain. PAUSE The woman gathers up the grains in a basket, and turns to look at you. The soft expression and hint of sadness in her eyes tell you it’s time for you to go. PAUSE You fold your hands, bow and thank the woman before being magically transported back to your room. PAUSE You pause and take a breath, making way for the next dream. PAUSE Again, a tiny light creeps through the blinds, calling you to come see the wonders behind it. PAUSE As you’re pulled into the dream, you find yourself in a lush, tropical world with a majestic volcano in the distance. PAUSE You marvel at the volcano as it spews a small amount of steam like a locomotive coming to a stop. PAUSE Then, a river of lava courses down the side of the mountain with mesmerizing hues of orange, red and yellow dancing as they descend. PAUSE The air hangs heavy with the smell of sulfur and salt while molten lava shimmers and glows, blazing a trail of change down the mountain. PAUSE While watching the distant volcano, nearby, you notice a man with wireframe glasses kneeling down and grasping a handful of black, moist dirt. PAUSE He lifts his glasses and inspects the dirt carefully, and as he does, a wave of understanding washes over you. PAUSE The volcano is Mother Nature’s tool for renewal, tearing down the old landscape and then rebuilding it with rich and fertile ground for more flowers, trees, plants and beauty.
