Prepare yourself by finding a quiet place, get into a relaxing position, silence phone, close eyes, breathe in and out several times.  As you are breathing in and out, be aware of any muscle tension that needs to be released.  

Gently offer any thoughts that enter your mind to God

Become aware of God’s presence that continuously surrounds and upholds all of creation.

Become aware that God is breathing life into you at each moment.  

Let God’s presence fill your consciousness and rest in his presence.

Imagine yourself as a small child cradled in the lap of a loving parent or grandparent, or nestled close to Jesus’ heart, or gently supported in an ocean of light, or enfolded by a peaceful warmth. Then simply rest and soak up the love that holds you.  

Close by thanking God for the blessings and gifts of this time together.
