A Walk through Provence Lavender Fields

The Sun-Warmed Path

Find your way to a comfortable rest. Let your body feel heavy, supported, and still. Allow your eyes to close whenever you feel ready. Imagine, just for now, that the day is complete. Everything that needed to be done is done. Every conversation has been had. The noise of the world begins to fade, replaced by a gentle, quiet hum. Bring your awareness to your breath. No need to change it, simply notice its rhythm. The gentle rise and fall of your chest, your belly. Each breath, a soft wave washing over you. Each breath, an invitation to sink a little deeper. Now, let a path appear before you. It is a simple path of pale, sun-warmed earth, winding gently downhill. You can feel the warmth through the soles of your feet. On either side, the tall, slender shapes of cypress trees stand like quiet guardians, their dark green needles a soft whisper in the breeze. The air that greets you is warm and dry, carrying a scent you almost recognize… a fragrance that speaks of stillness and sun. You feel a gentle pull to walk this path. There is no hurry. Take a single, easy step forward. And then another. With each step, you leave the day further behind. The thoughts, the worries, the lists… let them rest at the entrance to the path. They will be there if you need them later, but for now, this walk is just for you. Feel the gentle crunch of the earth beneath your feet. Hear the whisper of the wind through the trees. The sun is low in the sky, casting a long, golden light that makes everything soft and beautiful. This is the golden hour in Provence. And the path is leading you somewhere peaceful.
