Settle into your seat, close your eyes and imagine a place that brings you comfort and peace.
Breathe in the goodness of that space.
Breathe forth the goodness that is within you.

Be still and know that I am
Be still and know that I
Be still and know that
Be still and know
Be still and
Be still
Be
