First you can do a self blessing if you wish

Begin by doing some four , four breathing. Breath in for the count of four, hold your breath for the count of four, exhale for four, hold for four.

Next go through a relaxation exercise, such as starting with your toes, concentrate on them for three seconds, then relax. Continue doing this up every individual part of your body, till you reach the top of your head.

Relax, and sit with your spine straight. Your eyes are closed and your breathing should be relaxed.

Imagine yourself in a Forest, surrounded by the beauty of nature , bird song and the fresh sweet air of dawn greets your senses. Before your feet lays a small meandering path, winding through the lovely trees. You set of along this path to seek for the Goddess.

Wandering along this path , you can hear the tinkerling of a small stream .Soon alongside the morning shadowed path, runs a stream The ground is covered in ferns , uncurling to the warmth of the day. Mixed with the gentle gurgling of the stream you hear a song, it is the voice of a young girl. Looking up there is a girl of about the age of twelve. She is weaving a garland from the fern fronds, and absently minded singing a merry tune. She smiles and waves. With a half skip walk she comes forwards. and greets you .

She tells you she has been waiting for you. She takes your hand , and she leads you to the steam . Pointing her finger she motions you to look upon a family of fox cubs on the other side. Unaware of your presence they play in the sunshine. After a few moments, she leads you away again, smiles and hands you the garland she was weaving.

" I am one face of the goddess, she says, I am youth. Through play I also learn, like the fox cubs . Never loose sight of me within you for I can be a great joy. There is a place in life for happiness"

She skips away, turning and waving. Continue down the path.

The sun is hot now and directly overhead. As the path turns a corner , you see ahead of you a well. This might provide a cool refreshing drink.As you near the well you see a woman.She is tending some herbs growing near the well .She is heavily pregnant. She stands , smiles and greets you.She hands you a cup, in which is some freshly drawn water, it its cool and sweet.

"I am motherhood , she says. I nurture and protect. I am the vital link of all thing, for I bring forth new life .You can use my fertility to bring forth your ideals and plans to fruition. I am strong, yet loving. Beautiful, yet dangerous if threatened. I bless you , for you are part of me, as I am part of you.

She smiles, turns away to once again tend her herbs.
You bow to her then continue down the path, Refreshed .

The sun lowers in the sky, dusk is falling. Ahead you see the smoke from a camp fire. It is being tended by an ancient figure. As you come close you can see the form of an old woman. Her face is a myriad of wrinkles. She smiles an almost toothless grin at you , and you smile in return, she sits and beckons you beside her.

"I am old age, although physically I can not assist you , I can teach you much. I am the embodiment of creative wisdom. These bones know the joy of youth and the agonies of childbirth. These eyes have seen a life time, and can share the knowledge of the mysteries, if you take the time to listen. I am an important part of the cycle. Although I am harsh , I will give peace to all in the end. Every day of your life, I grow in you, fear me not, rejoice in me, for it is I who will bring you enlightenment.

She stares deep into your eyes, and you see great wonders there, she then dismisses you with another toothless grin and returns to tending the fire. Bow to her then leave,

As you continue down the path in the evenings gloom you realise you are at the point at which you entered.
Breath deeply and will yourself back to this room. Think about all that has happened. In your own good time, stretch and open your eyes.
