Bring in whatever support youneed. As you settle into position, enjoy a few deep breaths in and out throughyour nose.Imagine you are sitting on soft blades of green grass in the shade of a lemon tree. As you breathe, imagine the subtle scent of lemon rind on the air. Warm rays ofsunlight beaming between leaves and branches. An abundance of bright yellow lemonshangs effortlessly from the tree. Imagine leaning back, supported by the treetrunk. A subtle, warm breeze whispers through, startling the large dark greenleaves. Imagine birds singing, butterflies fluttering wings as they fly by. Feelsupported by the earth and connected to the life around you. Imagine looking up to see a low-hanging lemon near the crown of your head. Extendingyour arm, imagine the effort of your shoulder, arm, hand, and fingers of your dominanthand as you pluck the lemon from its place on the tree. Bring to mind lessonslearned from bitter or sour moments in your life. Perhaps, you had a lemon-to-lemonademoment. Allow yourself to feel the joy or peace or excitement or relief orrelease or perhaps a bittersweet sense of ease that arrived as you allowed yourselfto learn whatever you needed to learn, to grow, to create something sweet inyour life. Imagine that lemon becoming a tiny tree in your hand, representing your own growth. Now, letting go of that image, finding a few deep breaths in and out through yournose, bring your attention back to the space you’re in, any tension or ease inyour body, thoughts, emotions, breath. Move through your day or into rest, knowing thepower you have to hold the sour and turn it to something sweet. Thank you formeditating with me. Peace.Written + Performed by: Jessica L Haessly
