This is how I used to do it, I hope it works for you. (Works if someone is reading to you the way I wrote it. Once you get the idea you're set)
Part 1: Relax your entire body
First you get yourself in a comfortable position. You can either be lying down or sitting. If you are sitting have you foot flat on the ground, your back straight, and your hand resting gently on your lap or on a desk. Close your eyes.
Relax your feet. Feel the stress and tension come of of your toes. They are relaxed.
Now your ankles. Relax them completely.
Feel the muscles in your calves relax and the tension leaving them.
Do the same for your thighs. You are completely relaxed.
Relax your pelvis and your hips.
You can feel the tension run through your spine and through your body to leave out of your fingertips, toes, or hair. Your spine is loose and your whole midsection is quiet.
The muscles in your shoulders, arm and neck are at ease and all stress and unpleasentries are leaving them.
Your forearms and limp and you feel the \"bad\" energy rushing out your fingertips.
Now finally your mind. relax your mind. DOn't think about anything else but relaxing. The outside world does not concern you. Let anything else become only muted voices. When your mind is finally calmed down, you can begin.
Part 2: meditation
Now that your mind is calm, imagine yourself walking down a path. What does the path look like? What is around you? What do you feel? If there is an animal, it is your power animal. It represents you.
You finally reach a clearing. What type of clearing is it? Are you in a feild, a park, clearing in the forest? You stand there and examine it. Try to feel the breeze, the warmth and cold of this place. Study everyting and feel at peace.
You arrive at your sacred place. You feel comfortable here: safe. You analize this area. If you have a power animal they are with you. You sit down and concentrate. You try and connect with your \"inner wisdom\". This could take a while, but you will feel it.
*Optional*
While in your sacred place, ask your inner wisdom a question. Anything. then wait for an answer. It doesn't always come to you so if nothing happens it is natural. Your mind is at peace.
Yeah, I hope that helps you. I know it sounds EXTREMELY cheesy, but hey, whatever works.[/b]
