Om Shanty
Om Peace
Imagine yourself sitting in the center of this desert flower
Serene
Calm
Safe
Peaceful
a slight smile on your face
Breathe softly
Be gentle and caring with yourself
Let the mind settle
As thoughts of people arise
place each being on a petal
with the wish "may you be well"
As thoughts of past experiences arise
place each one on a petal with the wish
"in the present moment may I be peaceful"
As thoughts of future plans arise
place each one on a petal with the wish
"in the present moment may I be peaceful"
When you wish to end your meditation
Close by chanting
Om shanty, shanty, shanty
Om peace, peace, peace
Happy Solstice
