Today's practice,
The well.
During this visualization,
We'll travel deep into our internal landscape,
Arriving at a sacred space,
A place where we can observe our internal state from a symbolic point of view.
The well is a place to ask questions,
Inquire within,
Perform personal inventory,
And connect deeply with our own instincts and intuition.
Visiting your well with regularity can help ignite forward momentum in stuck or blocked places as you experience a greater level of self-knowledge and acceptance.
Let's begin.
Find a sustainable,
Upright position,
Letting the body lead the mind into today's practice.
Take a deep breath in through the nose,
Letting your belly extend,
Your side ribs expand,
Your lungs fill to full capacity,
Releasing the exhale from the mouth,
Lungs first,
Then the belly,
Gently squeezing the last remnants of breath from your core,
In through the nose,
Belly,
Chest,
Lungs,
Out through the mouth,
Lungs,
Chest,
Belly.
Inhaling,
Belly,
Chest,
Lungs.
Exhaling,
Lungs,
Chest,
Belly.
Find your resting breath.
As you do,
A beautiful staircase appears in front of you.
Walk down the steps.

1.
As you descend,
An inner natural sanctuary comes into view.
What does this space look like to you?
A garden?
A cave?
A forest grove?
Spend a few moments discovering this space.
In this sanctuary,
At the depths of your being,
Lies a well,
A small pool of water,
Just large enough for you to take a plunge in.
Observe this natural spring.
Give the water a color you love.
Is it bright?
Glowing?
Serene?
Glassy?
Your well is the barometer of your soul and heart.
Observe the waters.
Are they high?
Low?
Clear?
Bright?
Murky?
You can visit your well from time to time to check in on your vitality,
To bathe in the waters and restore yourself.
This is a sacred place of reflection and inquiry,
Rejuvenation.
What's been occupying your mind most lately?
Why?
What makes it good or bad?
What would be ideal?
Imagine how it would feel the moment you achieve this ideal.
Look to your well and ask yourself,
What is it that you most need right now?
Take a moment to observe and listen.
Allow any thoughts,
Sensation,
Emotion,
Or images to bubble up.
Is there something you'd like to ask?
Any guidance you seek with any other particular circumstance?
Spend a few moments here.
Bring to mind a dream,
Desire,
Or goal.
For now,
Relinquish every constraint,
Caveat,
Or obstacle.
Luxuriate in the possibility,
The vision.
Get specific.
How does it look and feel?
What are the details?
In the next few moments,
Finish up your visit to your well.
Begin making your way back up the staircase.
Two,
Three,
Four,
Five.
Back into your room.
Back into your body.
Back to your breath.
In your own time,
Open your eyes.
