Cascading Waters and Canyons

---

Position yourself in a comfortable spot. Here, you may soften your gaze or close your eyes. Please choose whichever you feel at ease with. Here, take a moment to focus on your breath, allowing it to slow and deepen naturally.

As you breathe deeply, imagine yourself standing in a lush meadow, surrounded by cheerful desert flowers slowly swaying with the breeze on a warm and dry spring day. Feel the soft grass peer between your toes and the sun envelop your neck and shoulders.

Pause for a moment to immerse in this natural tranquility.

In this distance, you notice a crystal-clear stream sparkling in the sunlight. Walking towards it, you can hear the soothing sounds of water dancing and trickling over and in between smooth stones. You slowly move into the stream, observing its clarity and pristine appearance, feeling the cool water encompassing your ankles and allowing each smooth stone to massage the soles of your feet.

Take a moment to feel the relief of the water, becoming warmer and comforting. As the water touches your skin, release all vocational tensions that you may have into the stream, allowing it to carry away your concerns and stress, washing them afar.

At this moment, all is serene. All is at peace.

The sound of cascading water fills the air, and you decide to walk downstream, allowing each smooth stone to massage deeply into your feet with each step taken.

The sound develops, and here you notice a small waterfall. As you stand in the stream, you can feel the mist from falling water gently touching your face, arms, and legs.

You start approaching the water, standing underneath and allowing it to knead into your shoulders, embracing the pressure as it gently relaxes your body. You feel refreshed and renewed here as the water's energy wipes away any lasting worries.

You step from under the waterfall, feeling revitalized and empowered.

As you stand firmly in the luxurious grass surrounding the waterfall, you step forward, noticing a grand valley.

You look forward. Viewing detailed foliage peering in the distance, hugging between peaks as the cool canyon air slowly dries your face.

As you stand firmly, feeling fortified, you embrace the command of the canyon and imagine all remaining stresses being thrown into its rocky arms, releasing every burden amidst the crevices of the beyond. As you imagine this release, you feel lighter and free.

When you are ready, please bring your awareness back to the present moment. Carry this sense of tranquility, freedom, and inner peace as you continue your day, and know you can return to this place whenever you need sovereignty.

Let us finish with a breathing exercise. 

Breathe in for four seconds, hold for four seconds, and release for four seconds. 

Let's try that one more time. Breathe in for four seconds, hold for four seconds, and release for six seconds. 

Start wiggling your toes, gradually moving your body upwards to your fingertips, stretching and wiggling them. Gradually open your eyes and welcome back.
