Take a deep breath, and another and feel the ground beneath you. Connect to the ground and sink into it. Feel your self relax and leave this world behind. You are perfectly content. There is no fear, no worry, no pain, and no sadness. You have left work and family behind. You feel only contentment and joy. As you prepare for the journey you are about to take, know that you will always be safe for there is nothing that can harm you or cause you to feel anything but contentment and joy.

Now slowly look around. You are standing at your favorite place and there is a well-marked path in front of you. Follow the path a short distance until you come to an entranceway, which is barred. What does the entrance way look like? Is it a door or gate, modern or ancient? What is around then entrance way? Are there flowers, trees, and stones? Remember and mark this place well, for it is the entrance way to a special place. One that you will return to again and again.

In your hand, you hold an old-fashioned key, dull silver with years of use. Use the key to open your entranceway.

As the door swings open, you notice a slight musty smell, as if this room had not been opened for many years. You can see thick dust covering what once was and can again be beautiful surfaces of stone and wood. There are dim lights, which lead the way down a short entranceway, but don’t allow you to see past the bend.

Look around the entranceway, what does it look like? How will you restore it to the wonderful and beautiful place you know it can be? Image in your mind how it will look with the dust swept away, and surfaces clean and gleaming, the glass lamps polished and burning merrily and then make it happen.

Remember and mark this place well, for it is the opening to a special place. Make a vow now that you will never allow this beautiful entranceway to fall into disuse.

When you are ready, walk into the room around the bend. Stop and stare with amazement for you have walked into the perfect room. This room holds everything you desire and you immediately feel such warmth and contentment. Your spirit is at home here.

Take a moment to describe the room. Is it large and airy or small and cozy? What does the furniture look like? What color are the walls? What does the floor feel like? Do your feet sink into carpet or walk across the smooth sanded and polished floor. Are there pictures on the walls? Windows? A fireplace?

As you look around the room, know that it is yours and yours alone. This is the place that renews and refreshes your soul.

Walk around and touch the items. Notice that each item you touch seems both familiar and perfect. This room was created for you and you alone and nothing in this room would be here unless you wanted it to be.

After awhile, you notice an old-fashioned envelope sitting in the middle of a table. You walk over and see your name written on the envelope. Pick up the envelope and find a comfortable place to sit. Open the envelope and read…

The letter, written on heavy paper, seems familiar. The handwriting looks very familiar …almost like your own.

You unfold the paper and begin to read…

To myself,

For years I have made this place for you, waiting eagerly for you to discover this magickal place. Knowing you, because I am you, I have chosen each item carefully and placed it here with love. I give this gift to me, to you, for we are one. Know that you can come here whenever your soul needs refreshed, or when you need someplace to just be complete with yourself.

I have named this place Haven, for it is our haven from everything and everyone. Here we come when we need to play, or cry, or find strength or heal. Here is where we come to find ourselves.

Finish reading the letter that you have written to yourself

When you are ready to leave, say farewell (but not good bye, for you can return here anytime you wish) and walk back down the entranceway, back through the door, which you lock behind you. Pause a moment to look at the entrance way and mark it well, for you will return. Walk back up the lovely path to where your journey started.

Before you open your eye and come back to this world, take a moment to see how you feel.

When you are ready, take 3 deep breaths and open your eyes.
