Take a moment 
and imagine that 
your thoughts
falling away 
like a waterfall of sugar.

LONG PAUSE

Breathe, 
and feel yourself 
turning inward,
centering and
becoming aware
of your body.

LONG PAUSE

And now,
turn your attention
to your neck and shoulders,
breathing into them,
softening them
from all the day’s tension.

LONG PAUSE

Allow your focus 
to shift to you back
where you breathe
and let the muscles
melt into the comfy sheets.

PAUSE

And, now, let your 
mind focus on 
breathing through
the tension,
in your hips, 
so they gently
and comfortably
open.

PAUSE

And with the next breath,
feel the pressure 
and tension
easing from 
your legs and feet
so they feel light
and relaxed.

PAUSE

Now, see if you can imagine
sinking into a fluffy, warm jacket
as you stand 
in the chilled,pre-dawn air 
just before the sun 
peeks over the horizon.

PAUSE

And you snuggle 
into your jacket,
as a fire blazes a few
feet in front of you,
a fire filling a hot air balloon.

PAUSE

The fire’s heat
sets your face aglow,
with its yellow-orange flame
shooting into the balloon.
.
PAUSE

And while gazing at the flame,
you notice someone 
adjusting the basket
to the balloon,
setting it so it’s 
ready for its next adventure.

PAUSE

The horizon glows 
with purples, pinks, and orange,
as the morning sun
makes her entrance.

PAUSE

And the sun greets you
with the chance to look
at the balloon surging some 
and then falling back,
as it finds its rhythm of filling.

PAUSE 

Your balloon is 
the color of canaries,
and oranges,
and the deep, blue sea,
with a stripe of fire engine red.

PAUSE

The balloon begins to rise
with the fire still glowing 
into its bowels.
It is nearly ready.

PAUSE

See if you can imagine
your hot air balloon
positioned upright,
facing the morning sky,
ready for you.

PAUSE

So, you climb over
the side of the basket,
and watch as the 
ropes are released
as you float into the 
cool morning air.

PAUSE

Now, imagine if you can,
floating above the red rocks
of New Mexico,
red rocks dazzling 
with color in 
the early morning sun.

PAUSE

And as you float,
the balloon glides above
the belly of a canyon,
a canyon with red rocks like sentries
protecting it on each side.

PAUSE

And then the balloon 
draws near the rocks,
close enough 
so you can see a cave
carved into the side
of the cliffs.

PAUSE

Now, imagine if you can
that you see a man
sitting in a circle of stones
just inside the cave.

PAUSE

And instinctively, 
you know this man
is a shaman,
a shaman practicing
his healing art.

PAUSE

The balloon pauses,
and you can hear 
the shaman playing
his small drum
and chanting.

PAUSE

You may not understand 
his words,
but they resonate
with you,
and send a strong healing 
vibration through you.

PAUSE

And the shaman sees you
from the corner of his eye
and then turns to 
play his drum 
and chant before you.

PAUSE

And while the shaman plays,
you feel the healing
and the blessing
from his chant
opening you, moving you,
with a joy that lights you up
from the inside.

PAUSE

When the shaman finishes,
he waves his hand,
and the balloon
begins to drift back
to where it started.

PAUSE

And as the shaman dissolves
Into the distance,
the morning sun shines
bright and warm
and lights the world below.

PAUSE

As you float back,
imagine feeling an incredible
peace in you,
a peace that emanates 
from your heart 
and spreads throughout 
your body.

PAUSE
