1. Sit upright in a comfortable position, either on a cushion or in a chair.
2. Breathe in and out to a count of forty complete breaths.
3. As you do this, try to relax completely, releasing tension of body and mind.
4. Continue to breathe and relax more deeply.
5. Contemplate your own divine nature. See it as a small light or small flame that you can fan and grow by exercising patience, love and compassion for yourself.
6. Visualize that light growing larger, stronger and more radiant, extending out of you, embracing and blessing everything and everyone around you. 
7. Speak these affirmations silently and gently to yourself: I am filled with divine light and energy. Divine love and light flow from me toward all around me. Divine love guides and leads me. Because of the divinity within me, I am a powerful, loving, compassionate, creative being. Feel free to add your own unique affirmations. 
8. Conclude by sitting quietly and again breathe in and out for forty complete breaths.
