Needless to say, this is one of those times to get by yourself, unplug the phone, etc. If you have a room that you can be alone in, better yet. Set the lighting at what feels relaxing to you in whatever way you choose, such as a low wattage lamp, perhaps a few candles (be mindful of the curtains) and scent the room in some way. I feel best when I use powdered incense on a burner and cense the whole room, but methinks that is my wiccan training! *L* However you feel you need to scent the room, do so, just make sure that the scent is soothing to you and not so overpowering that you cough yourself silly!
The next part you can do either standing or lying down - I personally always do it standing as it helps me visualize better, but just make sure you don't fall asleep. Stand or lie with your hands and legs extended at 45 degree angles to your body - basically a star design with you as the star. Visualize yourself becoming mistlike, but retaining your own shape. Feel yourself expanding - become aware of the Universe around you - see the stars, feel the activity of them, but the peace of the void the stars reside in - and visualize yourself becoming larger and larger, extending yourself to all parts of the Universe, with the Earth at your navel. Feel youself feeling nothing but peace regardless of what is going on in the Universe - you are merely an observer. If you wish, observe everything working in perfect order and love, even if you do not understand it all. Maintain this view as long as you can, then visualize yourself condensing, shrinking back to yourself, bringing the peace of the Universe with you as you once again become solid in your body. This meditation is very powerful, but remember, don't go to sleep if you are lying down! I personally love this mediation, and it may even benefit men - I just don't know of any who have tried it!
