LONG PAUSE Breathe,  and feel yourself  turning inward, centering and becoming aware of your body. LONG PAUSE And now, turn your attention to your neck and shoulders, breathing into them, softening them from all the day’s tension. LONG PAUSE Allow your focus  to shift to you back where you breathe and let the muscles melt into the comfy sheets. PAUSE And, now, let your  mind focus on  breathing through the tension, in your hips,  so they gently and comfortably open. PAUSE And with the next breath, feel the pressure  and tension easing from  your legs and feet so they feel light and relaxed. PAUSE Now, see if you can imagine sinking into a fluffy, warm jacket as you stand  in the chilled,pre-dawn air  just before the sun  peeks over the horizon. PAUSE And you snuggle  into your jacket, as a fire blazes a few feet in front of you, a fire filling a hot air balloon. PAUSE The fire’s heat sets your face aglow, with its yellow-orange flame shooting into the balloon. . PAUSE And while gazing at the flame, you notice someone  adjusting the basket to the balloon, setting it so it’s  ready for its next adventure. PAUSE The horizon glows  with purples, pinks, and orange, as the morning sun makes her entrance. PAUSE And the sun greets you with the chance to look at the balloon surging some  and then falling back, as it finds its rhythm of filling. PAUSE  Your balloon is  the color of canaries, and oranges, and the deep, blue sea, with a stripe of fire engine red. PAUSE The balloon begins to rise with the fire still glowing  into its bowels. It is nearly ready. PAUSE See if you can imagine your hot air balloon positioned upright, facing the morning sky, ready for you. PAUSE So, you climb over the side of the basket, and watch as the  ropes are released as you float into the  cool morning air. PAUSE Now, imagine if you can, floating above the red rocks of New Mexico, red rocks dazzling  with color in  the early morning sun. PAUSE And as you float, the balloon glides above the belly of a canyon, a canyon with red rocks like sentries protecting it on each side. PAUSE And then the balloon  draws near the rocks, close enough  so you can see a cave carved into the side of the cliffs. PAUSE Now, imagine if you can that you see a man sitting in a circle of stones just inside the cave. PAUSE And instinctively,  you know this man is a shaman, a shaman practicing his healing art. PAUSE The balloon pauses, and you can hear  the shaman playing his small drum and chanting. PAUSE You may not understand  his words, but they resonate with you, and send a strong healing  vibration through you. PAUSE And the shaman sees you from the corner of his eye and then turns to  play his drum  and chant before you. PAUSE And while the shaman plays, you feel the healing and the blessing from his chant opening you, moving you, with a joy that lights you up from the inside. PAUSE When the shaman finishes, he waves his hand, and the balloon begins to drift back to where it started. PAUSE And as the shaman dissolves Into the distance, the morning sun shines bright and warm and lights the world below. PAUSE As you float back, imagine feeling an incredible peace in you, a peace that emanates  from your heart  and spreads throughout  your body.
