To release emotional burdens and cleanse residual problems:
1. Go apart to a quiet place. Sit comfortably. Relax each part of your body,
one at a time. Imagine yourself in peaceful surroundings. Take a few minutes
to enjoy this feeling.
2. Remember something that has been troubling you, but don't get involved
in it now. Just think of the general situation or relationship, and say
to yourself, "There is a problem there."
3. Call on God or Jesus. Imagine a ray of warm white light coming down to
you from above. Offer the whole problem up to the light, to the Lord. Imagine
the Lord taking it from you, accepting it and understanding it. Let the
problem go, entrusting it to the Lord.
(If you wish, return to step 2 and remember another problem.)
4. Imagine the residue of the problem(s) is a kind of powdery dirt, like
coal dust, on you and in you. Imagine the warm white light flowing down,
like water from a shower-head. Let it wash over you--and through you. Let
the light rinse away all the dirt and debris.
5. Imagine openings in your hands and feet. Imagine the light flushing the
powdery dirt out of those openings and swirling it away. Let the light continue
to flow over you and through you, washing and cleansing, until you are clean.
6. Ask the Lord to heal any damage, or empty places, in you. Relax and allow
yourself to be healed. Close the openings in your hands and feet. Instead
of flowing out, let the warm white light fill you completely, beginning
with your feet and continuing upward to the top of your head. When your
whole body is filled with light, take time to relish that feeling ... and
then go in peace.
