Final Lantern

As you approach the final lantern, positioned as a guiding beacon on your journey, take a moment to
stand before its gentle glow. Allow the soft illumination to cast its warm light upon your path. Inhale
deeply, drawing in the tranquility that surrounds this radiant lantern. Feel the warmth of its glow
reaching deep within, calming the currents of your body and mind.
As you continue to stand in the presence of the lantern, let your breath be a bridge between the
flickering flame and the stillness within. Inhale, allowing the light to infuse your being with clarity,
purpose, and the sacred. Exhale, allowing yourself to meld with the Zen garden’s beauty, peace, and
universal harmony. With each breath, sense the illumination growing within you, dispelling any
shadows of uncertainty, like the ethereal dance of the lantern's glow.
Express gratitude for the light that has guided you thus far. Acknowledge the transformative power
of each step you've taken, and with a heart full of appreciation, breathe in the energy of gratitude. Feel
the interconnectedness between your journey and the radiant glow of the sacred before you. In this
serene moment, become aware of the profound beauty that emerges when gratitude illuminates the
path ahead.
With a final deep breath, embrace the wisdom of the lantern, both as a source of light on your physical
journey and as a metaphor for the inner radiance that lights your spiritual path. As you exhale, step
forward with renewed purpose, carrying the warmth of gratitude and the guiding light of the lantern
within you. Your journey continues, beautifully illuminated by the interplay of your breath, gratitude,
and the enduring sacred flame that lights your way.
