Welcome.
We're about to go on a journey.
One that will take you to a new experience.
Before we go there,
I'd like for you to repeat a few words to help you get into the right frame of mind before we journey together.
Your will,
My hands.
Your message,
My mouth.
Your words,
My voice.
We must cool our mind.
We are going to turn down our mind.
We are going to slow down the traffic thoughts of our mind.
The cars representing your thoughts move so quickly on the highway of your brain.
We're going to give it a yellow light and slow them down.
Slow all your thoughts down.
Say to yourself,
I slow my mind.
I am turning down the velocity of thoughts.
I put my hands up to pause the thoughts that are trying to permeate my consciousness now.
We are going to cool our mind.
So repeat the words.
No mind.
No mind.
No mind.
Relax your body.
Release the tension.
Breathe in and relax.
Breathe in and relax.
This is slowing down the mind.
Everything is turning into slow motion around you.
Like a film slowing down.
So that you can become intimately aware with yourself.
Relax your body and feel the energy within.
This is where we begin.
You are safe.
You hold the spark of infinite wisdom and intelligence.
You hold the key to your own happiness.
You are wonderful creation.
When I close my mind,
I can see the world of infinite possibilities.
I hold universal harmony in the DNA of my body.
I choose to be loved.
And I am loved because I am chosen.
I choose to see the light and my eyes have been opened.
You are special.
You are wanted.
Trust.
Everything is happening and occurring in your life.
By design.
By a purposeful architecture.
All the pieces coming into your life.
All the people coming into your life.
All the circumstances.
All the challenges.
All of these struggles that you feel.
They are all men that test your strength.
They are meant to highlight your resolve and trust.
For the overall plan of your life.
Breathe in and relax.
Breathe in and release the world.
Because no one can help you but you.
At this moment.
Imagine yourself in one of those slow cars.
Rolling up to a dirt road.
It's arid.
Bushes dried up.
Simply look out the windshield of this car.
And it's dusty.
Dirty.
Can't really make out what's in front of you.
The sun though.
Deeming through the windshield.
It's warm in your face with a golden hue.
It's all around you.
As you grab the handle.
You exit the vehicle.
You take your first step outside.
It revels loose.
And the step feels soft.
Yet firm.
You pull yourself out of the car.
Holding the door and the steering wheel.
Now you see that it really is warm.
Bright.
Grab your sunglasses.
Close the door.
You hear the lock of the door close behind you.
The crunch of the step.
Take your steps.
Through this trail.
This desert looking environment.
You have no idea how you got here.
But you look around.
And you know that there's a purpose for you being here.
As you look around.
You see rock formations.
Dark pan.
Browns.
The sun baking everything around.
You take your steps forward.
On this road.
You feel the heat warming your body.
As you loosen your shirt.
And your body becomes loose.
As you look around.
The sky without a cloud.
Is blue.
Vibrant blue.
The sun high in the sky.
You guide as you walk.
Begin to think these thoughts.
Am I really alone?
Am I really meant to be here at this time?
Where is everyone?
What is my purpose?
As you take another step.
You evoke the trust.
In the universal plan.
You feel like you've been walking now.
Only a few feet.
When you look back.
For the vehicle.
You realize.
You've been walking for miles.
And that vehicle.
And those thoughts.
Are in the distant past.
Just as your worries are in the distant past.
You are being embraced.
By the draw.
Of the future.
And living in the present.
Right now.
You turn back around.
You realize.
That your body has become lighter.
Fluid.
Stronger.
More confident.
And you breathe in.
This dry air.
As it fills your lungs.
You release.
Your exhale.
You take your hands and rub your eyes.
As you see now.
In this desert.
There's a small watering hole.
Just down the hill.
And so you begin to take those steps.
Towards the water.
You look around.
There are little critters.
Running around.
Listen.
You think.
I'm not so alone.
I'm with all the animals.
I'm with this cactus.
Even in the driest.
And most arid places on this planet.
There is life.
There is hope for another day.
Now.
You're becoming aware.
Of your environment.
You're becoming one.
With the understanding.
That you.
Are as alive.
As everything else.
Around you.
The ease of this.
Cools your mind.
As you approach.
The watering hole.
You lean down.
Under your boot.
Put them to the side.
You pull off your socks.
Drenched with sweat.
You lay them on the ground.
You take your step into.
The beginning of the pond.
The water.
Is cool.
And surprising.
Refreshing.
As you take your steps forward.
The water comes to your knees.
You're still in your clothes.
But you don't care.
You wade in.
Waist deep.
The steam coming off your body.
You're being pulled by this watering hole.
And you dive in.
To this water.
Swimming underwater.
Pulling yourself through.
This water.
You preach the water with your face.
And take your first gasp of air.
Refreshed.
Rejuvenated.
You look around.
Now at this water.
And you realize that your energy.
In this water.
Has made the entire pond.
Golden.
Like a drop of sunshine.
Has dipped through this pond.
You.
Are the drop of sunshine.
On this planet.
Which can share.
And bridge life.
To all the people that you meet.
When you are one with your environment.
With the harmony of your heart.
With the coolness of mind.
With the spirit of intention.
Along your path.
There are no dry times.
There are no unhappiness.
There is only joy.
For the life that you've been given.
Only arms open wide.
As you pull through life.
As you pull through the water.
Breathe in life.
Share your life.
Welcome to the watering hole.
