Relaxation exercise, such as relaxation from toes, to head .

Remember this is to be read slowly, with large pauses in between paragraphs.

Imagine yourself in a large field. you see before you in this field, a rock . Large enough to sit upon .It has been warmed by the sun and it is inviting. Seat yourself comfortably and breath easily .Slowly look at the horizon all around you. Know this rock is here always for you. It is safe and protected, anytime you need it, it is there.

Seated upon the safeguarded and stable rock, knowing yourself to be in total security , you feel the world around you dissipate, drop away, so that all there is the rock and yourself. You are in the nothing together.

When all clears before you again , you find yourself in a large clearing .Nature surrounds you. Breath calmly and gently whilst you take stock of your surrounding. The beauty of nature is all around. Listen, what sounds do you hear? What does it smell like?
How does it make you feels the sun warm, or is it night time?

When you feel comfortable with your surroundings , you may descend from your rock and wander into the surroundings, knowing that your rock is always there for your safety and convenience.

As you wander in this loveliness, you notice before you, the opening of a cave .At the entrance of the cave is a lamp. Pick up this lamp Enter this cave .You can light your way safely from the illumination of the lamp. You sense with in this cave a presence, but it is unthreatening. Step forwards in the darkness , hold your lamp high and look upon this presence. Speak in your minds eye to this creature, and let it speak to you in return. Obtain camaraderie and advice, seek a bond between you, but only if this feels agreeable for you.

(silence for a couple of minutes.)

When you feel the time is right , you may bow to your new friend , guide and teacher . You may exchange gifts if you please . Return to your rock. Remembering to return the lamp. This teacher and protector will be here for you always.

Once again the as you sit comfortably upon the rock , take a last look at your surroundings.Breath . Slowly your surroundings dissipate, and you return to your field .In your own time , return at a leisurely pace to the here and now, of the temple. Stretch and open your eyes.
