Welcome to the mind spa.
Thank you for giving yourself the beautiful gift of this pause.
When we take in too much information,
Our minds become full of ripples and waves.
We are stepping into a space of gentle ease appreciating the simple wonder of this present moment and allowing the waters to still.
Imagine you are standing on the shore of a beautiful expansive lake.
Just as the sun is beginning to rise The wind has completely died down.
The water is so untouched and so perfectly still that its surface becomes a flawless,
Glassy mirror.
Perfectly reflecting the pastel colours of the morning sky Find a comfortable posture and let your hands rest softly in your lap Close your eyes Let us imagine that your mind is that beautiful body of water Every busy thought is a small pebble dropped into the lake.
Creating ripples Right now,
We are simply going to stop dropping pebbles Take a deep slow breath in Enjoying the cool fresh air Exhale with a soft sigh.
Imagining the surface of the water gently smoothing out.
We are quieting the citta breathing.
The natural swirling fluctuations of the mind You do not need to fight the ripples.
Simply let them softly fade away on their own Your mind is a beautiful clear mirror reflecting only peace.
Feel the immense relief of this quiet clarity Take one more gentle,
Expansive breath.
And gently open your eyes to the world around you You carry the stillness with you now Be well.
