Breathe in, slowly and deeply,
and allow your body
to just let go,
to just relax.

LONG PAUSE

Take another breath
and turn off all 
the thoughts and chatter
of the day
until there is quiet 
in your mind.

LONG PAUSE

If a stray thought 
makes its way
into your consciousness,
thank it, and let it 
slide away.

LONG PAUSE

Take another long, deep breath
and just become aware–
aware of relaxing,
aware of the present,
aware of feeling at peace.

LONG PAUSE

Now, see before you
a large, beautiful snowflake
slowly twirling in the air.

PAUSE

The snowflake looks 
like a carved crystal,
with intricate designs
all through it.

PAUSE

As you gaze at the snowflake,
you see shapes and patterns
delicately connecting with
each other.

PAUSE

There are slender 
crescent moons,
solid pyramids, 
delicate columns
powerful pentagons
and hexagons,
all connecting 
with each other.

PAUSE

After a few minutes,
the snowflake
begins to move,
like it’s leading you 
on a journey,
so you follow.

PAUSE

As you follow the snowflake,
you notice
that other snowflakes
join you on your journey.

PAUSE

The other snowflakes
are smaller than the lead flake
but share many amazing 
crystalline patterns
such as arcs, and spikes
and other geometric shapes.

PAUSE

The smaller snowflakes
dance in circles
and flit up and down
all while you comfortably
follow the large snowflake.

PAUSE

Now, give yourself permission
to imagine that,
as you walk,
warm clothes magically
adorn your body,
and a pair of socks and boots
covers your feet

PAUSE

And while walking, 
you see all the snowflakes
coming together 
like a magnificent winter snowfall,
with you in the center,
warm and comfortable.

PAUSE

As you stroll in the snow,
you notice that it’s fresh snow,
pure white and untouched,
pristine in its beauty and stillness.

PAUSE

The snow gently crackles and pops
beneath your boots,
and you see that your boots
leave the only prints
in a sea of opaque white.

PAUSE

The snowfall pauses,
and you get
a sense of where you are,
you’re somewhere in 
a large park–
a large park in a city.

PAUSE

Looking up,
you can see 
the silhouettes of 
tall buildings
beyond the boundary
of the park,
and their shapes
are familiar:
you’re in Central Park
in New York City.

PAUSE

Yet, unlike most days,
when the park is bustling
with children playing,
adults reading,
and couples walking,
today, there is stillness–
just you
and a magical snowfall.

PAUSE

You stop at a bench,
and brush off the 
caked snow 
so you can sit
and take in the 
enchantment all around you.

PAUSE

Naked trees 
bare their branches,
with piles of snow 
mounting on them.

PAUSE

The snow tests the branches
to see how long they’ll hold,
before giving way
and letting the snow tumble
to the ground.

PAUSE

Other tree branches
sport delicate icicles,
silvery spindles
suspended from 
their tips.

PAUSE

The snow sits still and undisturbed,
a silent beacon of peace
fanning out 
for acres and acres.

PAUSE

While lost in the meditative calm,
you notice the large snowflake
has reappeared,
now dangling and twirling 
in front of you–
letting you know it’s time to leave.

PAUSE

You gather yourself
and follow the snowflake.
Gradually, the snow gives way
to your bedroom floor,
and the warm clothes
dissolve into sheets of your bed.

PAUSE

As you pull the covers
up to your chin,
you still feel 
the snow’s peacefulness
fanning out inside you,
leading you into a 
calm, undisturbed
sleep.

PAUSE
