Settle yourself comfortably,
so that you allow yourself
to relax,
fully and completely
LONG PAUSE
Notice your breathing,
as it takes on
a slow rhythm
deeply filling your lungs.
LONG PAUSE
And with each breath
in and out,
feel your body
gently sinking
into the folds
of your bed.
LONG PAUSE
Visualize a soft glow
quivering in the darkness,
a glow that draws
your gaze.
PAUSE
In the middle
of the room,
a candle flickers,
a white pillar candle
with a dancing flame.
PAUSE
Colors dart in and out
of the flame,
as the candle
bends and leans
from side-to-side.
PAUSE
Sometimes, the candle
gives off yellow and orange,
colors that warm
and spread through the soul.
PAUSE
Other times, the candle
flickers in whites and blues,
casting tranquility
throughout the room.
PAUSE
As the candle dances gracefully,
you find yourself soothed
by its light
and becoming
more deeply relaxed
the longer you look into it.
PAUSE
As you relax,
the candle piques
your senses:
Tiny fizzes
from the wick burning
tickle your ear,
and the flame
continues to gyrate and move
as you watch it.
PAUSE
The warmth of the flame
wraps around you,
like a nest of
caring and comfort,
and as it radiates,
a hint of lavender
tinges the air.
PAUSE
At times, the flame teeters
back and forth,
creating a rhythmic
pulse that connects
more deeply with you.
PAUSE
With each flutter of the light
the candle’s glow
settles within you,
sparking warmth
from the inside
and opening
your own soulful light.
PAUSE
As you behold the candle,
you feel the flame
gently leading you to a
still space within,
a space of pure peace
and total serenity.
PAUSE
And while basking
in this space of peace and calm,
the shimmering candle
takes you to a deeper
level of understanding
and self-discovery.
PAUSE
The more the candlelight
glimmers in the room,
you quietly become more self-aware,
as beautiful hidden truths
are revealed to you.
PAUSE
These truths may be
wonderful parts of yourself
that you’ve denied,
or kept away from others–
or perhaps not even have realized.
Yet, now, they shine brightly in
the beauty and clarity
that is you.
PAUSE
Now, imagine that,
as the candle flickers,
it imparts wisdom to you,
sharing greater insights
that expand your soul.
PAUSE
And, as the flame
whispers its wisdom,
you take a breath
and the light from this knowledge
opens you even more.
PAUSE
The newfound awareness
brings you peace and focus
that flow through you effortlessly,
filling your being in new ways
that transcend what you’ve
known about yourself.
PAUSE
And all through the awareness,
there is a relaxation
and a calmness
that softly stream through you
like gentle waves.
PAUSE
So, give yourself permission
to stay in the stillness of your soul,
in this Zen-like awareness of the self
filled with tranquility.
PAUSE
And, with this stillness,
let yourself drift
into a deep, restful slumber,
one where you carry the
wisdom of the candle
that you can call upon
at any time.
