The best way to do this is to record this on to a tape or get somebody to read this to you.
Just just become aware of your breath, take a few deep breaths and then gently close your eyes and prepare yourself to go on a journey. Make yourself comfortable, you can lie down if your like.
You can choose a starting place, perhaps its near the sea , or snow or mountains, the jungle or forest, in the countryside, in the middle of London, wherever you feel safe. If you look around at this place you'll see you have a friend (it might even be a friendly animal) next to you, if you can't see him or her then just feel the presence of somebody very caring.
So just allow yourself wander around this place, exploring and investigating what's going on, notice the colour of the sky, and the landscape around you, what does it feel like.Let your journey unfold in front of you like a movie.
If you notice something frightening remember you friend is there, and remember its a fantasy so you can always use your star trek teleporter to escape to a safer place.
Let see what's happens.....Suddenly a big bird called Garuda comes down and offers you lift, its a friendly bird -very strong and big, and very kind. You get on and it takes you on a journey, perhaps over the mountains, over towns.The sky is blue with no cloud, the sun is bright. You arrive in a new land, look around to see where you are, is it a town, or in the countryside, floating on the ocean. Look in the distance, is there a place where you can see your sage waiting for you.
Now go towards that place. The Garuda puts you down....you approach this place, look at it, what is it, perhaps it is a Bedouin tent, a city, forest grove, or street corner.Then approach this place where you find your wise person.The person seems to have a certain glow, and feels so lovely to be around such a person.You go up to this person
Perhaps you want to ask some questions....perhaps you just want to sit with there.
The person looks at you with friendliness. Perhaps your questions are answered - perhaps not.....So its time to leave this place now... you call up on your star trek phone, it transport you back to where you started off.
Have a look around the place, how does it feel.You friend says goodbye and you feel yourself coming back into the room.You bodies on the ground and you can become aware of your breath. When you feel it is right open your eyes.
