LONG PAUSE And as your body relaxes, allow your breath to slow and deepen, with the warm, safe darkness gently sinking into your muscles. LONG PAUSE And after a few moments, you can feel the warmth  easing tension in you  and you relax even more. PAUSE As you breathe again, gently turn your focus inward, into that warm, safe darkness that rolls out from your center. PAUSE Now imagine a light  rising slowly up in the darkness. A light that casts hues of rose, orange and purple all across the beautiful blackness, like a magical sunrise. PAUSE And the colors become more vivid, before giving way  to a sparkling sun  that peeks over the horizon. PAUSE The sun continues its ascent, casting amber rays across any trace of darkness,  and lighting up  a grassy savanna for you to see. PAUSE As you stand at  the edge of this flowing grassland, this African savannah, you notice a tree  in the distance,  a brown, spindly-arm tree. PAUSE And so you walk  toward the tree through the tall,  golden stalks of grass that whisper your name as  they bend in the breeze. PAUSE And as you approach the tree, you notice a lion, calm and relaxed, sitting next to the tree and nodding for you to come closer. PAUSE When you near the tree, the lion raises his mighty paw, honoring the strength  he sees within you. PAUSE A smile forms on your face, and you nod at the lion, placing your hand against Brother Lion’s paw. PAUSE Breathe in,  and hold your hand strong, as it touches the lion’s cushiony paw, where you can feel strength flowing between you,  steady and strong. PAUSE As you bid Brother Lion “goodbye,” you walk through the  savanna grass again, hearing it whisper “Strength, strength, strength” with every step. PAUSE Now, imagine seeing a zebra in the distance, black and white  against the yellowy grass. A zebra that beckons you  to move closer. PAUSE As you near the zebra, she nods and smiles at you, then kicks up  on her hind legs  and brays with joy. PAUSE Now, take a moment and visualize folding your hands in “Namaste”  to Sister Zebra's free spirit. PAUSE And when the zebra draws close, you hold her face  in your hands,  and look eye-to-eye with her. PAUSE Together, you and Sister Zebra feel the freedom flowing between you, steady and strong. PAUSE And as you bid Sister Zebra “goodbye,” you walk through the  savanna grass again, hearing it whisper “Free, free, free” with every step. PAUSE Now take a moment and  visualize a giraffe  in the distance, tall and majestic, rising above the  savanna grass. A giraffe that  Invites you to move closer. PAUSE As you near the giraffe, he nods and bends down, softly smiling, nuzzling his gentle face against yours. PAUSE And as you stroke the giraffe’s long neck, he licks your face  with a long, warm tongue. PAUSE And, while you touch Brother Giraffe, you feel the kindness flowing between you steady and strong. PAUSE You bid Brother Giraffe “goodbye,” and walk through the  savanna grass again, hearing it whisper “Kind, kind, kind” with every step. PAUSE As you keep walking  through the savanna grass,  the sun kisses your face, and peace and joy  flow through you. PAUSE A breeze carrying  the sun’s warmth brushes by you, and changes the  whispers of the  savanna grass.
