Clinical Handbook of Mindfulness (131 page)

When you feel ready, bring the image of the lake inside of you so that

you
become
the lake, so that your body lying down and the lake become

one. Feel its body as your body. Breathe together with the lake, moment by

moment. Let your mind be open, reflecting anything that arises in your inner

or outer experience. You may experience moments of complete stillness, as

when the lake is calm and clear, and moments of restlessness, as when the

water is troubled and cloudy.

Above you the sky is blue and light. You are alone, and your aloneness is

filled with peace. Stay like this for a while. Feel how much peace surrounds

you. Feel the tranquillity. Your entire being is permeated by water. You feel

safe
. . .
.

The warmth of the sun is relaxing and calming and very pleasant. Stay in

touch with these sensations and nourish them with the calm and tranquil-

lity the lake transmits to you. The winds on the lake may cause ripples or

waves on the surface, yet you know that its depth, the vastest part of it,

is untouched and unperturbed. Your problems are like ripples on the lake,

not changing the essence of who you are. The water lets everything pass

through it, with no resistance, its essence remaining in tact. In the end, the

lake always returns to its own essence of calmness and tranquillity.

In this moment, as you sit or lie down, embrace all the qualities of your

mind and your body as the earth holds and encircles the lake The lake is a

mirror of water, and since it yields, it need not break, but instead renews

itself continuously, moment by moment.
