Close down your eyes,
And focus on breathing,
Deep inhalation,
Body relaxing on the exhalation,
Your body starts to feel heavy,
You feel your limbs sinking into your bed,
Then your torso,
Then your arms,
Your jaw melts as your head sinks further into your pillow,
As each part of your body sinks,
You feel at peace and completely relaxed,
With each exhalation your body sinks a little more,
Now picture yourself on the bank of a river,
You're warm,
There are people around you,
And you see many,
Many paper lanterns with small lights inside,
People are holding them,
Passing them to each other,
And releasing them into the water,
These paper lanterns are a range of different colours,
The most common are orange,
Pink,
Purple and red,
Some of them have symbols painted on them,
And some of them are plain,
The energy here,
On the bank of this river is beautiful,
People are smiling,
Hugs are being exchanged,
And you feel that warmth penetrating your body and heart,
Someone passes you a lantern,
You smile and thank them,
And slowly make your way to the edge of the river,
You look inside your lantern and see that the light inside is neither a candle or an electric light,
It's a glass floating ball with a magical glimmer inside,
This sort of light is best described as pure warm light,
The warmth that these globes radiate is soft and fluttery,
As you hold your lantern with both hands preparing to release it into the river,
You whisper a prayer,
A prayer for yourself,
A prayer for your dreams,
And a prayer for your loved ones,
You gently release the lantern into the river,
The cool breeze from the bank,
You notice lights gently shifting around these lanterns,
Playing,
Darting around,
Glittering,
They look like dragons,
These little light dragons are playing hide and seek between the lanterns that these people and you have released into the river,
It's all a game,
It's all so much fun,
And you sit on the bank of the river watching these dragons play,
As your lantern drifts away,
Your thoughts drift as you silently meditate on these playful dragons,
And as the dragons dance,
Your mind becomes soft,
Every breath you take brings you closer to a dream state,
The dragons are still playing,
So joyous,
Gorgeous,
They look at you as if to invite you into this game,
But you cannot fit into their world,
You cannot hide behind a lantern,
And so you watch,
Enjoying their joy,
Enjoying seeing them in their pleasure,
Enjoying them have fun,
As the lantern keeps gently floating away,
You feel your mind and body fading,
And the scene is slowly,
Slowly dissolving,
The dragons are also losing their sparkle,
Slowly fading,
And the lantern fades,
And your eyes start to feel heavy,
Your body is feeling heavier,
And you feel warm,
And fuzzy,
And gooey inside,
As your mind floats,
As your body enjoys the warmth,
And feels heavier,
And completely relaxed,
The lantern keeps fading,
As your mind softens,
Floating,
Ready to drift,
Drift into a deep,
Restful sleep,
Letting go completely,
