When you feel ready,

Allow your eyes to gently close.

Begin to breathe deeply and slowly.

Notice that after just a few breaths,

Your body and mind begin to soften to quiet.

Now imagine yourself in a large,

Grassy field.

You're surrounded by lush and vibrant green.

And a gentle,

Warm breeze passes over you.

You feel refreshed,

Relaxed and at peace.

You take a moment to run your fingers through the grasses.

They feel thick and healthy.

And they tickle your palm as you brush your hand on the many blades.

As you breathe deeply,

You can smell the sweet,

Fragrant smell of the grasses.

It's earthy and natural.

You watch as the breeze causes the grasses to sway and they glimmer in the sunshine,

Looking like waves from the ocean.

The flowing movement of the grasses relaxes you as you walk through the field.

You take a moment to look around and you notice that you're in a valley with mountains to your left and a forest to your right.

You take in another deep breath and relax as you exhale.

Continuing to walk and relax.

Notice all of the colors around you.

The vibrant green grasses.

The gray of the mountainside.

The darker green of the forest.

And the beautiful blue of the sky above.

Small white clouds dot the sky.

And they look like white brush strokes on a painter's canvas.

As you walk through the green grassy field,

You come upon an area with a large,

Comfortable blanket waiting there for you.

When you're ready,

Lie down on this blanket and close your eyes.

Feel as the sun's rays begin to warm your body.

On your face,

The warmth radiates,

Relaxing your eyes,

Mouth,

And the muscles of your forehead.

Your neck relaxes and your shoulders sink into the warm,

Soft blanket.

Sunlight kisses the skin of your bare arms and the muscles there loosen and relax.

You may feel as if your arms begin to float.

Feel the warmth and notice a deep sense of peace washing over you.

This lovely field in which you rest is safe and nurturing and is a place where you can simply let go.

With this sense,

You notice that the muscles in your back loosen and you become even more comfortable on your soft blanket.

Your chest and stomach relax as the sun's rays warm you.

Your breathing becomes just a soft whisper.

Feeling warm and peaceful,

Your legs begin to loosen.

First your thighs,

Then your calves,

Ankles,

And finally your feet.

You are warm and glowing in the bright,

Nurturing sunshine.

Much as you are enjoying languishing in the sun,

You begin to notice a yearning deep within you.

You can't explain it.

It's something you feel deep within your soul.

And you find yourself rising and entering the lush green forest at the edge of the field.

You don't know where you're going,

But a sense of purpose seems to be guiding you along.

The air feels cool upon your skin,

And on the ground,

Soft moss covers everything.

The canopy above is thick with lush green leaves.

Rays of sunlight filter through the branches,

Giving the forest an almost surreal and magical feel.

The air smells of fresh earth and wildflowers,

And you can hear birds chirping overhead.

A faint path in the moss shows you the way,

And you follow,

Wondering just where it leads.

And you breathe deeply as you walk,

And you notice that your head is becoming clear,

Your heart open,

And a sense of being deeply connected with the earth envelops you.

From a distance,

You begin to hear the sound of water moving.

The pathway continues to wind through this magical forest,

And you notice that it's beginning to incline slightly.

The forest thins ahead of you,

And you suddenly emerge into a clearing,

And are confused by what you see.

At the far end of the clearing,

There is what looks like what once was a waterfall,

But now only tendrils of water ebb from a ledge high above.

What should be a large and glistening pool of clear water from the flow of the waterfall is now a shallow puddle of tepid water.

Around the puddle,

Small shrubs and grasses are wilted and dying.

Forest animals gather at this shallow puddle and try to drink,

And you realize that what was once a beautiful watering hole for the animals is now drying up.

All at once,

You know that a waterfall above must be blocked,

And that for the flow of water and the safety of the forest,

It must be released.

You remember the path that brought you here,

And finding it once again,

You see that it continues to incline.

Perhaps if you follow it,

You can find the block in the waterfall.

You begin to follow the soft trail carved in the moss,

This time full of wonder.

Knowing that you have a gift you want to give to this place,

The flow of abundance that this waterfall provides,

The path begins to level out,

And you notice that the ground beneath your feet has become softer.

You can feel moisture.

The ground here is flooded,

And you know this is because the flow of water has been shunted from its original course.

Ahead,

You can see a rushing brook,

And the cause of the problem becomes immediately apparent to you.

A tree has fallen across the width of the brook.

It isn't a large tree,

But its tangled branches have broken,

And leaves and bark have built up across the brook,

Damning the water from its flow.

The resulting flood is drowning the shrubs and flowers low to the forest floor.

Trees are beginning to uproot as their foothold washes away.

You must move this tree and clear the debris,

So that the water may once again flow freely to the pond below.

You step into the brook and feel the cool water around your ankles and calves.

Positioning yourself in front of the debris,

You begin to move it,

Piece by piece.

At first,

You're unsure whether anything you're doing is making a difference as the water continues to flow around you.

You continue to tear away at the branches and bark,

Knowing that you must help the forest,

Feeling deep inside of you the sense of purpose that keeps you going.

You are making a difference.

And as you see the progress that you're making,

It spurs a passion in you so strong that at last,

There's nothing left but the tree itself.

And now,

Having come so far,

There is no room for doubt about moving this tree.

You wrap your arms easily around the trunk and swing the tree onto the bank.

And all at once,

The brook is free to flow.

You hear the crashing of the water into the pool below as the waterfall is once again restored to its flowing beauty.

You emerge from the brook full of excitement,

Accomplishment,

And inspiration.

The lumpy earth around your feet begins to drain and low shrubs and flowers come into view.

Once again,

You find the path to the pool below.

As you reach the clearing,

It has been transformed into a magical oasis.

The waterfall,

Now flowing freely,

Glistens like a million stars as the sunlight filters through the trees and touches the surface of the water.

What was once a tepid puddle is now a deep,

Crystal blue pool around which animals frolic and drink.

Your heart wells with joy to see what you helped restore.

And deep in your being,

You can sense the gratitude of the forest.

It beckons you and you feel compelled to enter the pool and stand under the flow of the beautiful waterfall.

Crystal cool water flows down over you,

Clearing your peeing,

Opening your energy centers.

Waves of inspiration wash over you as each glistening drop touches your skin,

Filling you with new ideas.

Feel this flow.

Know its energy.

Its supply is unlimited.

You have only to tap into it to feel its energy and inspiration at any time.

Inspired by this gift from the forest and knowing that you can draw from this gift,

You emerge from the waterfall and feel the warm sunlight touch your skin through the branches of the trees.

Though you've left the waterfall,

You realize that the sensation of the flow around you is still present.

Almost as if energy were still cascading around you.

That you're still connected to the flow.

That you were always connected and always will be.

The flow is the universal flow of energy and it is the energy of creation.

It is awakened in you.

You are a part of it as it is a part of you.

It sends you inspiration and ideas freely.

And you may draw from this creative energy as easily as you would cup your hands and drink from a flow of water.

And in the days and weeks ahead,

Know that this flow will become as much a part of your daily life as the very breath you take.

And that the inspiration and ideas you receive are gifts that you will bring to life.

You return now to the soft path in the moss,

Excited about what awaits you.

You begin to walk,

Thanking the forest for all that it has taught you.

Knowing that you will visit again should the waterfall ever need your help.

And as you reach the field at the end of the forest,

You become aware once again of your body,

The room,

And the fresh excitement and creativity now abundantly flowing through your entire being.
