Take a deep breath,
and let yourself relax,
opening yourself
to a new journey.
PAUSE
Take another deep breath,
and give yourself permission
to be transformed–
transformed into a creature
that is deeply misunderstood.
So, breathe again,
and release any judgment;
Stay open to the journey.
PAUSE
As you breathe in again,
you become aware
of the scent of pine and wood.
You notice you now have
rich, black fur that’s soft and protective.
And, there’s a snowy stripe of fur
running down your back,
as well as a bushy tail
that helps you balance.
You are an adorable skunk.
PAUSE
The first thing you notice
about your new state of being
is a sense of stillness,
a deep feeling of peace
in all of your core.
PAUSE
Now, imagine if you can,
feeling curious about your surroundings.
Everything is interesting,
Take a minute and observe
tiny acorn that rolls down a hill.
Take a minute to observe a leaf
Tumbling in a breeze.
Take a minute to notice
a mouse scampering
through the pine needles.
They all fascinate you.
PAUSE
After a moment,
you observe
a badger coming close,
growling.
Yet, your stillness remains.
You stomp your feet,
scratch the ground,
do a little dance–
all to remind the badger
that you can simply
spray him.
The badger retreats.
PAUSE
Now, breathe,
and come back to the here and now
as you.
And, as you do,
notice the solid calm
of the skunk
is still present in you.
PAUSE
Breathe.
And acknowledge the awareness
that you now have the power to assert
without being aggressive.
In other words,
you have the power to
remain calm and centered
in all situations.
Because, now,
you embody
the Zen of the skunk.
Forever more.
NAMASTE, BEAUTIFUL
