You begin by bringing your attention to bear upon your breath.  You breath in every moment without thought, but now you focus your attention upon it.  Focus your awareness upon the tip of your nose as you breath deeply in, completely filling your lungs with each inhalation, and then as you exhale, focus upon your breathe as it passes your lips as you breath out through your mouth, completely emptying your lungs only to fill them once again.  Focus upon the sacred space between each inhalation and exhalation.  You are taking deep, steady, clearing, cleansing breathes.

Now as you continue to focus upon your breath, you become aware of a divine golden white light that is part of your breath.  You breath in every moment of every day, but you are unaware of this aspect of your breathe, until now, in this moment, because of your increased attention and focus, you are aware of this divine golden white energy that sustains you as much as the air that you breathe.  This divine light, this divine energy fills your lungs, flows through your veins, and permeates every cell of your body, bringing both healing and balance to your biology.  You are growing more and more relaxed as this divine energy, your divine energy, moves through you, illuminating and deeply relaxing your being from the tips of your toes, through the balls of your feet, up through your heels, into your ankles, relaxing your calves, knees and thighs, up into your pelvis and into your belly, deeply relaxing your stomach, all your muscles and internal organs, up into your chest, filling your heart with your divine essence, your lungs, up into your neck, relaxing and opening your throat, up into your jaw, relaxing your jaw, your mouth, your facial muscles, your brow, and your scalp, illuminating and filling your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual bodies.

With your body now completely relaxed and this room, now completely filled and sealed in divine golden white light, you call upon your guides for assistance.  There may be a single guide; there may be several guides.  Your guide may appear as a guardian angel, or perhaps a friend or family member that has crossed over.  It matters not how they appear.  Know that they are with you now.  You ask your guide to help you see a brief overview of a lifetime upon this plane, one that is most influencing your current incarnation.  Your guides are more than happy to oblige.  As with all things, you need only ask.

Your guides begin by reminding you that you are a spiritual being having a human experience, and they ask you for your permission to take you on a spiritual journey.  They ask also that while on this journey, you make use of your imagination.  You agree, giving them your permission, knowing that you are completely safe and protected within your divine golden white light, and that no harm will come to you.

Your guides ask for your hand, and you give it to them.  With that, your guides begin to gently ease you from your physical body.  As you slowly rise, you are amazed at how natural, fluid and effortless this is.  There is no fear, only freedom, as though you have slipped off a pair of shoes that were too tight.  You take notice of the expanding silver cord that tethers you to your physical body while you take your spiritual journey.   As you slowly climb higher, you feel yourself expanding into your spiritual body, leaving your physical body behind.  It will be there for you when you return.  You grow more and more comfortable and increasingly aware of your divine essence.  You remember it.  You remember that in truth, this is who and what you are.  You are overcome by a deep a sense of peace, of beauty, and an all-pervasive feeling of love.  You remember this is home.

You continue to rise until finally your guides announce that you have reached your destination.  You find yourself at the foot of a bridge.  Your guides ask that you walk across the bridge.  They tell you that with each step you take, you will move further into an incarnation that is most influential upon your current lifetime.  Your guides remind you that you are perfectly safe, and they are with you every step of the way.

Your guides begin to count you down.  Ten.  You take your first step upon the bridge.  Nine.  Your next step.  Eight.  Another step closer.  You are beginning to become aware of a different energy.  Seven.  Another step closer.  Six.  Closer still.  Five.  You are midway across the bridge, midway between spirit and the physical body of your previous incarnation.  Perhaps you are beginning to feel some aspects of your physical body in this earlier incarnation.  Four.  Moving closer.  Three.  Closer still.  Two.  Closer still.  One.

You step off the bridge, completely within a previous incarnation.  You look down at your feet.  You take note of the shoes you are wearing, if you are wearing shoes.  You raise your eyes slowly, taking in your legs, your waist, and your torso.  You take note of the clothing you have on, if any at all.  Before you stands a mirror.  You look into it, and for the first time, you meet eyes with another aspect of yourself.  Your face is not familiar to you, but your guides’ remind you that you have had many appearances in many lifetimes, and this is but one.  Your eyes take in your entire reflection.  Take note of what you see.  Ask yourself for your name?  How old are you?  Look around.  You have all your physical senses.  In what country do you live?  Where do you reside?  Is there a time period, a date?  Do not worry if the answers do not come.  Your Guides assure you that you will receive all the information that you need.

After receiving your information, you now ask that your guides take you to the first event in that incarnation that established your particular energy cycle.  If this is a traumatic event, at any point you are free to observe it from above, rather than participate in it once again.  See if there is anyone with you then that is now with you in your current incarnation.  Take note of where you are, your age, the situation, and the feelings attached to this particular time and place.

After receiving this information, ask your guides to show you the second most significant event in this incarnation.  Once again, take note of your age, where you find yourself, familiar souls, the situation and the associated feelings.  As always, you are free to separate yourself from the event if it is too traumatic.

Now we ask your guides to move you to the final significant event of this incarnation.  How old are you?  Where are you?  Who is around you?  Have you passed?  If so, how did you choose to leave your body?  As always, if this is a traumatic event, once again ask to observe it rather than participate in it.

Now dear ones, if you have not yet passed in this incarnation you are examining, ask your guides to take you to the moment of your return to spirit, or the moment of your life review.  Review the energies and the events of the lifetime you just experienced.  What is your overall feeling?  What impact did these energies and events have upon you physically, mentally, and emotionally?  How did they shape you?  Are there any similarities between previous events and events in your current incarnation?  Are there any similarities between who you once were and who you are now?  What are they?  What was your life’s purpose?  Were you successful?  If not, why not?  How did you use your time between incarnations to set up your current lifetime?  Finally, what can you do in the present to change the energies of the past and clear them once and for all, never having to repeat the cycle again?

Take note of the information, secure in the knowledge that you will be able to remember what was given you this day by spirit as you begin the journey back to your present incarnation.

First, your guides must once again take your hand and walk you back across the bridge to your spirit body.  Slowly, you leave the physical energies of your previous incarnation behind.  As you leave, you bless the incarnation as a valuable and necessary experience for your soul.  You begin the slow, peaceful descent back into your current physical body.  It is right where you left it.  However, a subtle change has taken place.  You no longer identify yourself with your body.  You recognize it for the vehicle that it is, fully aware that you are indeed a spiritual being having a human experience.

As you move closer to your physical body, your Guides pause for a moment to wrap their arms around you.  The emotion, the love, and the gratitude in this moment are beyond measure.  Seldom is there a conscious connection between human beings and those in Spirit.  Yet there are tears in your eyes and theirs, for they feel you recognize your self in them, as they recognize their selves in you.  And so you deepen your connection to and awareness of Spirit.  They bow their heads in honor and celebration of you and your continuing journey.  You loosen your embrace.  It is time now to return to your body, but you do not return empty handed.  There are a great many gifts given you this day.  You thank each other once more for this most precious and sacred time.

You will see them again soon, you say.  They nod knowingly.

Slowly, they begin to count you back down into your body.  Five.  Four.  Three.  Two.  One.
