Continue breathing in this way for about a minute, then relax into a steady breathing pattern, clear your mind as best you can and allow the scene to unfold in your minds eye.

Now visualise yourself taking a walk in the country to a place of beauty and tranquility, its a warm summers day the sky is deep blue, the sun shines brightly and the birds are singing, its so peaceful here away from it all.

Walk around, take a look at your surroundings, be aware of the colours around you.

You can hear a stream babbling nearby, you can feel the gentle breeze rustling the leaves on the trees, listen as the birds are happily chirping to each other, there's flowers all around and you can see butterflies dancing around them.

You see a big wide old oak tree nearby, it has a big sturdy trunk, with a soft pad of grass beneath it. 

 Go and sit underneath the tree with your back against it..feel the bark against your back, feel yourself becoming as one with your beautiful surroundings, keep listening to the sounds of nature all around you.

This is your very own sacred space, a place where you can feel safe and secure and free from all the hustle and bustle of life.

Take a few more deep breaths - the air is so pure and clean you feel your skin tingling as your body is being cleansed with every breath you take.

Look up to the sky �?such a deep blue - you see a star, but no ordinary star, for this star shines bright as the sun during the day.

It is shining with all the colours of the rainbow , shimmering and glowing ever brighter .

You notice that it is drifting down towards you, slowly and gracefully, with no sound other than nature around you. Soon it is hovering a few feet above, you are amazed and not frightened at all, you feel the warmth of the rainbow glow spreading all over you as you are showered with the gentle, positive energy.

Close your eyes and allow the colours to wash over you and soak in to your aura and then your body. Feel them cleansing and purifying every atom of your being.<o:p></o:p>

Now the rainbow colour pulsates gently and shifts to a radiant golden glow, and you bask in this for a moment.

As you bask in the golden warmth, you become filled with absolute love and compassion from the star.

Now as you open your eyes, you see the star has changed again �?for standing right before you is a guide.

In this moment of recognition, you may find familiar “memories�?come to you of the times you have spent in Spirit or previous lives with your guide.

You now realise as you look into the smiling loving eyes of your guide that you can solve problems that have been bothering you for some time and that no problem is so large you can't handle it knowing you have the loving support of your guide, for this spirit knows every thing there is to know about you and loves you regardless and will always be there standing beside you through good times and bad.

Take a little time to talk to your guide.

Maybe you would like to take a few moments to thank your guide for all the blessings you've received in your life, and for the all the blessings you will continue to receive.

You could ask for your guide’s name, but don't worry if you don't quite understand immediately.

Often our guides communicate symbolically, maybe your angel will show you something or give something to you. Sometimes there is no name, as it no longer has relevance to this spirit being.

Its time now for you to say goodbye with a tender hug and a wave goodbye.

Your golden guide merges back into the rainbow light and so becomes the star as it floats effortlessly up to the deep blue sky again.

You have no feelings of sadness to see it go, because you now know wherever you are and whatever you do, your guide is watching over you.

Look around you again, everything still looks the same, the birds are still singing, the sky's still blue but now it feels different, every thing seems so much lighter and brighter, as you get up to start making your way back .

You are filled with an added strength you've never known before, feeling so very happy you could almost skip and dance as you make your way back home, take one more look behind and keep this image in your mind’s eye for you can come back to this place at anytime.

You are back at home now, listen to the music, open your eyes, take a look around you be aware of your surroundings, maybe you would like to take a drink of your water and take your time before standing up and having a good stretch.
