Do this exercise as needed in your life.

(Pixie sends her love and blessings to you as you start your meditation) Get nice and relaxed in an easy chair, on the couch, or in bed. Feel all the tension draining away from your body....imagine your body is a wet, limp dishrag...or some soft butter and you are melting into the chair, couch, or bed. Count backwards from 10 to 1 if you like. When you do that, then say a prayer, like the Lord's Prayer or any prayer you are comfortable with. Ask God to be with you during your meditation. Say your prayer now.
Now that you are nice and comfy and all the tension has been released....you will use your God-given imagination to go on a little quiet adventure. Right now is YOUR time....you have noone to see, nothing to do, nowhere to go.....just "be".
Imagine it's a beautiful day. The sun is shining, birds are chirping, everything is lush and green. Flowers are everywhere. You are standing at the shore of a river. You feel the breeze on your face, hear the songs of the birds, breathe in the fragrance of the flowers. Now you see a raft float right up to where you are....your guardian angel is already on the raft and smiling at you very sweetly. Your guarding angel beckons to you. You step onto the raft and get yourself all nice and comfortable there....and you start to drift along the river which is all sparkly because the sun is shining on it. Now you are drifting along so gently on the water while your angel watches over you. No words are spoken, but lots of love is felt. Now you kind of just drift along looking around at the foliage, the water, the birds, etc... and just relaxing so nicely. Do this for as long as you like. Drift along the river of light now. After you drift down the river for a mile or so, your raft will come to the shore again in a nice sandy spot. You and your angel will leave the raft and walk along the beach. You are barefooted. Feel the wet sand between your toes as you walk along. Again, listen to the birds singing their beautiful songs, feel the breeze on your face and arms. Find a nice spot where you can sit and take in God's beauty. Maybe you see a grassy spot...or maybe a rock, whatever you want....but sit there quietly now. You look down the shore and you see someone walking there....coming your way. You can't quite make out who it is. But just keep watching this person walking closer and closer. Now you can make out who it is....it's a man in a long white robe and long hair and beard. Now you recognize Him.....it's JESUS! Oh, my! Now you are sure! It's definitely HIM! As you continue to watch, you see that He is actually walking towards YOU....and you feel some anticipation. Oh, this is wonderful, that Jesus is actually going to approach you. He comes closer and closer. You see a beautiful smile on His face....as he looks into your eyes. Now He sits down beside you....very quietly....not saying a word, but still smiling. Your angel stands beside you. You are feeling so loved and comfortable.
Now you start talking with Jesus. Only YOU can say what this conversation is going to be like. Maybe it will surprise you, but just go along with whatever happens here. You imagine that you are telling Jesus about your life, your doubts, your fears, your concerns....and also tell him all about the things that are happy parts of your life. You can ask Him any questions that you want. Ask Him something NOW. Then wait......for His reply. If you don't get a thought about what He is saying....just repeat the question and wait quietly for a reply. Whatever the first thought is that comes to you will be it. Don't be frustrated if you don't get a clear thought here. You can always do this again at another time. Tell Him anything you want Him to know. He is here for YOU now...nobody else. He is all YOURS right now....He loves YOU. YOU are His prime concern and priority right now. Talk with Jesus now for awhile. After you do this part of the meditation, just sit quietly with Jesus and then.....suddenly, he leans toward you as if He wants to say something to you. Look at Him and see those beautiful eyes of His as he looks deeply into your eyes. He is looking deeply into your soul. Now he is about to say something special to you. He has a special message He wants to relate to you. Listen now for that message. Maybe it's something He wants you to do....something he wants you to say to someone, or whatever it might be. It will come to you now what it is....and if it doesn't try this again another time. Listen to what Jesus says to you now. Then maybe you want to take a walk with Jesus along the shore just enjoying the beautiful day. Do it....Get up with Him and just go walking along the shore....use all your senses as you walk along....hearing, smelling, feeling, seeing. Don't even worry if you are not visualizing "clearly"....it's the intention that counts here. This may improve if you do this meditation regularly. Walk along the shore with Jesus now.
When you get to a certain point, turn around and walk back to where you were....your angel is with you all the way....and so is Jesus. You arrive at the point where you had the conversation and then Jesus walks you over to the raft. He bids you a loving farewell. He can hug you if you like and you feel the warmth of His love. He tells you that He will always be there waiting for you whenever you need Him....so just float along on your raft anytime you choose and He'll be there to talk with you about anything at all and He'll have answers for you.
You wave to Jesus as you and your angel start going back along the river to where you originally started your trip. You feel so relaxed, content, and happy. You want to go back another time, but right now you need to get back to your real physical life. You float along the river of light as long as you choose...Float along now on the river of light. Now you come to the point where you got onto the raft. Your angel helps you off and then you both just stand there feeling wonderful.....more wonderful than you have felt in a long long time. Your angel will stay with you as you open your eyes, and will stay with you always, whether you are awake or asleep.
Now you will count from 1 to 10 slowly and open your eyes slowly..... Now don't you feel relaxed, content, and wonderful? Even energized?
You can do this whenever you have time to just relax....it's a good guided imagery to relax with....and the best part is that it is beneficial to you....and you CAN get answers from God like this.....it's called "two-way prayer". Maybe you wonder if it is really God speaking to you in these meditations.... Well, that is where the proof will be... in the results you get. Just listen and be aware of God's promptings.
ANGELS HAVE VISITED HERE!
NOTE: It sometimes helps to hear your own voice guiding you along during the meditation, so if you want to, you can record this guided imagery. If you don't want to do that yourself, have someone else with a pleasant voice record it for you. At certain points, let the tape run silently so you can do some visualizing during those sections....and then start recording the next part of the meditation.
This is where you let the tape run silently for a minute or so
(or whatever amount of time you choose), if you are recording the meditation.
This gives you time for your prayer and walking and talking with Jesus.(Music playing is "Swept Away")
