Air Meditation by Helen Storm
Before beginning make sure you are comfortable and will not be disturbed. When you are ready, begin breathing slowly. In through your mouth, out through your nose. (Pause)
When you are relaxed, you see you are standing atop a staircase. Walk down the staircase. (Pause)
At the bottom is a door. Open the door and walk through it. (Pause)
You are standing atop a mountain cliff. The air rushes by you, grabbing at your hair and clothing. Before you, the cliff drops and you see the blue sky and white clouds before you. (Pause)
Suddenly a great shadow falls across you. You look up and see a great eagle circling slowly down before you. (Pause)
He perches before you on the cliff�s edge. (Pause)
He looks at you, screeches, and you know you are to get on his back. Climb on top of him. (Pause)
He takes off. Look down at the valleys, mountains, and lakes below you. Feel the rush of the wind around you. (Pause)
Finally, the eagle lands at another mountain top. Climb off. Thank him for his assistance. (Pause)
Before you, is an old man robed in white with long white hair leaning on a staff: � I am the Keeper of Knowledge. The old laws are mine. The ancient mysteries are my domain. If it is knowledge you seek, beware. For with knowledge comes wisdom. What is it you seek?�
Tell him what you would know. Listen to his reply. Note any message or knowledge you receive. (Pause)
When you are done talking, you notice a path winding down the mountain. Follow it. Note any signs or animals you meet along the way. (Pause)
At the bottom you reach your door. Go through it. (Pause)
Return up the steps and open your eyes feeling relaxed, refreshed, and remembering all you have learned.
