Now I want you to imagine in your mind's eye that you are standing at the foot of a beautiful, golden stairway leading upwards into infinity. As I count from 1 to 10 you will climb the stairway.

Feeling your awareness growing stronger and more sensitive with each step that you take. 4, climbing higher. Enjoying this beautiful, beautiful trip. 5, as you look out over the edge you see all of God's creation and you feel so wonderful. 6, such a soothing feeling as you climb. So beautiful. 7, climbing up, up. 8, we're going to stop in a couple of minutes and you will enjoy this trip so immensely. 9, almost to the top now. 10, all the way up, such a beautiful, wonderful feeling.
Now you are on a balcony overlooking all of God's creation. You are at peace and you feel a warm loving presence on the balcony with you. You can ask it questions that you might have and you will receive answers. I will leave you alone for about 2 minutes to talk to the presence and then you will hear, understand, and respond to my voice.
Pause here for about 2 minutes
Now you hear and understand my voice and are ready now to walk back down the stairway. You have learned to relax very deeply and this ability will stay with you always. It's such a wonderful feeling and you enjoy it so very, very much. Very pleasant, very wonderful feeling.
You will look forward to this experience again and again. Many times. You will be able to relax so very deeply any time that you wish. As I count from 10 to 1 you will walk back down the stairway. With each count you will feel stronger and stronger in your will and desire to relax. And you know that any time in the future that you wish to relax deeply you will be able to.
