my feet.'' Feel the muscles become loose and relaxed. Relax your ankles. Say in your mind, "I am relaxing my ankles." Relax your lower legs. Relax your knees . . . your thighs . . . your pelvic area. Take a deep breath and imagine that breath flowing into your abdomen and relaxing that area. Now imagine it flowing into your chest . . . your back. Your neck is relaxing . . . your shoulders. Feel the relaxation flowing into your arms, and down into your wrists, hands, and fingers. Now relax your jaw. Let it drop. Relax the muscles around your mouth, your tongue, your eyes, your forehead, and your scalp. Take another deep breath and relax still further. |

Your sanctuary is a place in your mind that you can return to at any time to receive intuition information for yourself and others. |

As it approaches, you feel your heart opening and you are filled and surrounded by a wonderful feeling of love and acceptance. This is your guide. Your guide steps toward you and greets you warmly.
