Imagine standing in the middle of a desert late afternoon, the sun beginning to setover the horizon, the sky shades of purple, pink, orange, and red. Feel theheat carried on the wind shifting to an evening desert cool. Looking out acrossthe red and beige sand, green cactuses and desert bushes peppered throughoutthe landscape. Imagine seeing in the horizon a large glistening fountain shootingup into the air and pouring out onto the desert. Imagine feeling the cool sprayof water stretching across the desert as a gentle mist touching your face. Feelthe firm and gentle give of the ground beneath your feet. Bring awareness toanywhere in your body you may be holding tension. Keeping your eyes on theimage of the fountain, imagine the mist calming your body and mind. Deep breath in, deep breath out. See your intention in the image of the fountain, imagining a reflection of yourself showing up with whatever intention you set, boldness,wisdom, trust, peace, love, safety. Letting go of the image of the desert,notice your body—shoulders, hips, face, fingers, toes. Breathe. Bringing gentlemovement to your body, blink open your eyes, and move through your day or intorest with intention. Thank you for meditating with me. Peace.
