Imagine if you can take a moment and stop, knowing that the process of life continues to move on around you, over you, under you, to each side, and through you. Allowing the current of time its course, you simply stay put and rest. For three mindful breaths see the circumstances you are involved in, that are asking for your attention, flash to mind. Now acknowledge them gratefully and inform yourself that you may return to them later if you then choose. Taking three more breaths, each deeper than the last, settle into the position you choose to hold during your grounding. Wiggle into a place of stillness, and then be set. Feel the weight of your body as you release the muscles in your face and mouth. Feel the expansion of your lungs as you settle your eyes, either comfortably open or closed.

Imagine you are sitting on a mirror, that there is a reflection, another you within the realm below the surface. The image of your appearance is clearly your body in complete reflection, and as you inhale a few more breaths, shift your consciousness into the other you, the mirror’s reflection. Notice the difference in the surroundings beginning to emerge around you. The walls of an earthen room are there. You are in a simple hut as your inner eye opens to the calm filtered light, and you see a pail near you. Moving to get the pail you find it is holding liquid…pigment. Begin painting yourself, if you can smell, the pigment is earthy and you know what to do with it. Seeing your work, you recognize that you are ready to travel down the stairway you now see in the room. You can walk down it and through a hallway into a court-way that opens up. A throne-like seat awaits you here; you observe the look and feel of it.

Finding your way into the seat, settle in. Vibrations of peace and healing concentrate here, in you. (pause) Awareness opens and you realize there is a mirror-like surface above you and the throne. You see yourself as the above mirror person and begin to move up, completely entering yourself through the surface in a few breaths, bringing peace, and a grounded sense. Returning fully now into your body here in this room, breathing all of yourself deeply into your body, moving a little bit, remembering, and integrating as you open your eyes, wholly returned, calm, safe, gratefully grounded.
