Stop.
But keep on going.
Breathe deep.
Do not hide from it.
This feeling-
A wave of calm.
An emotion so clear
Thrust delicately upon your body.
And introduced to your giggling brain.
It does feel funny.
But do not question.
Let everything go.
Let all troubles float from your hands.
Breathe out.
Witness the energy-
Warm throughout you.
From your head to your toes-
Seven points of sensitivity.
Feel every part relax.
Drift away to where
You would like to be.
Or come be by me
In a vast field
Of vivid, mesmerising green.
Let the slow wind
Blow your hair.
Feel yourself melt-
Into the surrounding gentleness
Of the piano.
Breathe in this calm.
And do not forget you can come here again.
[Jennifer Doohan 2005]
