Reed's Strength (Courage)

Instructions for Disappearing

Where whispering reeds sway,

hear the earth's soft music play.

Grounded energy will hold you fast,

resilient, free, the storm will pass.

Rest your arms at your sides,

relax your muscles

and close your eyes.

Let yourself gently drift inward.

Inhale, count to three.

Exhale, three times.

Let go of your thoughts;

focus only on your breath.

Continue for several breaths,

then gradually slow down.

Inhale, count to four.

Consider what you have lost,

and what you have built in its place -

stronger, more meaningful now.

Exhale - four burdens lifted from your chest.

Light as a feather, you soar.

Impossible things?

Within your grasp.

Your plans, your power -

dare to start!
