From the book "You Can Heal Your Life"

Breathe; inhale and exhale. Watch your breath: get in tune with it. Watch your feelings, watch your thoughts, and accept them all.

See yourself on a pathway in a forest. It's a beautiful day; there is a light breeze, rays of sunshine coming through the trees. You come to the bank of a river. As you approach it, you see a vast long river. Continue breathing.

As you approach the water you see a reflection in the water-your reflection. The water starts moving, sending little waves, and your reflection becomes blurred, An you look up, you see a little boat, and on that boat is a presence.

The boat comes closer and closer, and your spirit guide invites yon on the boat. You embark feeling very confident. The boat moves very peacefully down the river; the current is just carrying it.

You feel very supported, reassured, and safe. As the boat keeps on drifting, the light around is becoming more intense. You can barely look up there because there is so much light. The light is feeling warmer and sweeter. You feel more and more drawn into the light. The light is pulling you in; you want to go into it.

Now as you look, you see a little island. The light is pulling the boat. As you approach you see a crystal palace, and the color of the light is now changing into a light blue. As the boat comes to the shores of the island, you see many presence's. They don't have bodies; they are made of light. These presence's assist you off the boat and they are carrying you with your spirit guide behind you.

Now you begin to recognize people you have known once and who have passed on, and they are all around the crystal palace.

You are being led into the palace, into a large room made of crystals. One by one, you recognize those who were dear to you and who left the planet; and now you have a chance to speak to them, and you tell them one by one everything you had not told them before they left. They reply to you. You can ask any question you want; they answer you willingly. They all seem very happy, very peaceful.

You let all your feelings out, for it is safe and acceptable and welcome. You tell them how much they influenced your life, how close you felt to them, and how difficult their departure was. They understand and accept everything you tell them, everything you express to them.

You tell them how it is for you without them in your world. How afraid you may be for yourself. You ask for their forgiveness and you receive it so totally you forgive yourself. Your spirit guide supports you and comforts you. And there is still some more...As you continue, you tell them their life was not in vain, you tell them how much they enriched your life, how much they meant to you. You ask them to stay in touch with you and to guide you and to stay connected.

You keep on breathing and moving through it. If you have parents you have lost, you meet them too…. family members, friends, lovers. You keep on breathing. And now you let all the grief out; the light will absorb it. It's okay to feel what you are feeling right now.

If you need to, turn to one of them and hold them. Allow yourself to be held. Begin to feel your chest expanding. Let more air in. Breathe deeply and let it all out. Now come slowly to the end of the line of these beautiful light beings you have connected with. They are all waving at you with so much love. They are loving you and totally understanding you.
You know you will be with them again, and yet you have to go back now. You are still in a human body and you still have things to accomplish and lessons to learn and work to do. As you wave to them, you now know that you are safe and that they are safe and there is no separation. You also know that whenever you want to connect with them, you can return to the island with the crystal palace.

With your guide you approach the boat once again. The light still is very intense and very tempting but you must go back. Together you embark and you drift back on the river. As you look back, the light is still very strong. The river washes all your tears, and slowly the light becomes weaker and less intense, and your spirit guide thanks you for your willingness to be human and takes you back to the shore. And you see a clear reflection of yourself in the water and it is bright. You're back; the grief is gone.
