Hi, my name is Gil. I'm a Reiki master and teacher. So when you're ready, you may close your eyes... Feel yourself sitting in the chair. As you hear the sounds in the room, as you feel your breath gently going in and out, you may begin to notice that it is causing you to relax. And as you hear the sound of my voice, as you lean back resting against the chair, notice you are going deeper and deeper, more and more relaxed into the vast, boundless presence of your own self... Now imagine a downward-facing staircase in front of you. There are ten steps. Can you see it or feel it? This is a very magical staircase because it can carry you ever deeper into your vast presence... And the good news is that you don?t have to do a thing. When you are ready, go ahead and step onto step number 10, the top step. Then step to the next step, number 9... and 8... and 7... And with every step you take, it is drawing you deeper and deeper... more and more relaxed... Step number 6... 5... just allow yourself to relax. 4... 3... going gently into a cushion of white presence. Step number 2... And now, as you get ready to step on number 1, just allow your awareness to expand in front of you, behind you, above and below. When you are ready, make the step to step number 1. Just notice a vast, open sky above you, opening ever deeper into all directions; into the outside and into the inside of yourself. And with that feeling, we sense comfort... presence of joy... more and more relaxed... And as this happens naturally, just imagine that there is door in front of you. Behind that door is a blazing light, the light of your own source, your own being. Behind that door you will also find a mentor... a sage, a friend. Someone whom you trust, someone who supports you. You feel safe and protected. When you are ready, go ahead and open the door. Let the blazing light wash through you with a ?knowing? of bliss. Let the light go up through your body, up and down, filling every pore of your skin, every molecule of your being with vitality, and source and reason and protection. Let this memory wash through you and as it does, you become lighter. And so, go ahead... and step through the door. Step through the door into the light. And now it is you who washes back the light with your own being. bringing the vitality from your own source outside. And again, inside... outside and inside. And now, just greet your mentor, your sage, your friend, the one you trust... Welcome them into your own presence. Let them speak up. There is a message there for you. What is it?
