Meditation Script:

Position your body in a way that is most comfortable for you.

Find a few deep breaths in and out through the nose. Notice how your body

feels. Observe physical sensations, tension, ease. Observe your mental and

emotional space. What arrives?

Consider your basic needs. Notice what you have. Direct your focus toward the

necessity of water. When you hear the word water, what comes to mind? What do

you imagine? As you keep this image in mind, observe if your imagination

directs you toward an image of water you drink, water you bathe or play in, the

vastness of the ocean, a clear lake, or a flowing river. Do you see droplets of

water or a body of water? Is the water you see contained or overflowing?

Now, having allowed your mind to wander toward whatever idea

of water you imagine, focus on the image of a clear pint-sized glass of fresh

water. The glass is full to the top with water and sitting on a side table

beside you. You reach out to pick up the glass of water, hold your ear to the

glass, and hear the sound of waves crashing. You hold the water to your nose to

breathe in the crisp, cool, freshness of crystal clear water. You hold the cool

glass up to your lips and sip and gulp and swallow a swig of cool, refreshing

water. Consider what access you have to water you can clean yourself with, swim

in, and drink.

Letting go of this image, say to yourself, “I am thankful

for water I am thankful for water. I am thankful for water.” Find a deep breath

in, deep breath out. Move, refreshed by your gratitude for water, into your

day. Thank you for meditating with me. Peace.
