A few angels appear above you. They’re giggling as they bring a shiny hose from heaven. They float down to your skull and then slowly hover down into your body. They open the nozzle at the end of the hose and begin spraying a warm, refreshing, sparkling water-like fluid. The angels spray this refreshing fluid on the inside of the shell of your body, washing away all of the goop, which drains out your fingers and toes. The tiny angels make their way methodically through the inside of your entire body, slowly rinsing away all the yuck.

When all of the gray goo is washed away, some of the tiny angels take the hose and float up and away from your body. The angels stationed at your fingers and toes replace the tips of your digits. Now there are more angels bringing a second hose from above you. They open a valve and warm, golden fluid flows into your body. This golden fluid feels so relaxing and peaceful as it slowly fills your body starting at the toes and fingers, and then moving up your legs … then your torso … and your arms, your neck … and finally your head.

When you are completely filled with the golden fluid, the angels replace “the lid” on the top of the head. You notice they have started singing a song more beautiful than you have ever heard. Their words are in a language you don’t understand but the harmony is a wonderful sound. It seems like the song is some sort of blessing on you, and as the tiny angels slowly disappear into the distance, you realize the song really was for you. They were wishing you peace and wellness.

At this point you should be so completely relaxed that your body and arms feel as if they are part of the chair. (When I first experienced this sensation, I was surprised. It was so relaxing.) In this physical and mental state, you are ready to begin a meditation. You can take your mind wherever you want to go, simply choose to take it there. Imagine you are in your favorite place — a quiet, but energizing place in the forest, or the solitude of an ocean beach, or on top of a distant mountain — the place where you feel most relaxed.

Once your mind is there, stop and wait.

Simply wait.

Keep your mind very still; think of nothing — only wait. It may be a minute or two, or maybe a long while. Keep your mind in this special place and the information you are meant to receive will come to you. Stay with it as long as you wish.

This is a basic meditation technique.

Sometimes, in the peacefulness, I mentally focus on a point of perception at the frontal lobe of my brain. Then I slowly “move” that point of focus to the sounds I am hearing in my ears. Then I continue to shift the focal point down through my neck to the center of my chest (heart chakra).

Now I focus on “listening with my heart” to whatever the Universe sends me. If I find my mind wandering to events of the day or worries about children or hassles from work, I take a deep breath and “move my focus” again from the frontal lobe, continuing down to the ears, neck and then to the heart.

I think this is what King David meant when he told his son Solomon that God talks to you from your heart. If you want to hear what He is saying, listen with your heart, not your ears.

Wishing you peace,
David Wine

I learned this when I was in college. It’s a great way to relax or meditate.

Find a comfortable chair and sit upright in a relaxed position, uncross your legs, place your feet flat on the floor, and let your arms rest on the arms of the chair or in your lap.

Take a slow, deep breath. Then another, allowing your eyelids to close.

Take a couple more slow breaths and imagine a couple dozen tiny angels coming from everywhere around you. They all have a warm, comforting glow. A few of the angels float over to your left hand and begin to pull at the tip of your pinkie finger. In your imagination, the tip of the finger becomes like a cork that they slowly pull away from the tip of your finger. An awful looking, gray fluid begins oozing out of your finger. The angels smile and giggle as they begin removing the cork-like tip of the next finger.

Slowly, the angels move to the middle finger. [Take a deep breath.] Then it’s to the first finger. Pause. Now the thumb. After each cork tip is removed, the ugly, gray substance oozes out and you can feel all negativity and darkness flowing out of your body through the fingers on your left hand.

Take your time. There is no reason to hurry.

Imagine now that the tiny angels are removing the cork-like tip of the pinkie finger on your right hand. Allow them to spend a bit of time on each finger. Notice that they are happy and smiling; sometimes laughing and giggling, always in a state of love. They move to the ring finger, removing the tip. You notice that the gross fluid is flowing from these two fingers. You also notice your emotions are turning more peaceful. Now it’s the middle finger, and now the first finger—and finally the thumb. Choose to take your time, moving your mind’s eye leisurely from one finger to the next.

Some of the other angels have grouped themselves at your feet and they begin to remove the tips of the toes of your left foot, beginning with the small toe of one foot and slowly moving to each separate toe. Then one by one, they remove the tips of the toes of your right foot. The disgusting fluid continues oozing its way out of your body and you begin to feel more relaxed.

Take a deep breath.

Now imagine that the top of your head is like the lid of a cookie jar. Another set of angels has moved to the top of your skull and has opened “the lid” from your head. Now the nasty fluid flows from your fingers and toes at a quickened pace. After a short time your body is only a shell.
