Working Method: Guided Meditation
Close your eyes, take a deep breath, and relax. You find yourself standing on the shore of a beautiful
island. The sands are warm under your feet, and you can hear the waves of the sea lapping at the shore.
You’ve spent four days working to build a raft, side by side with the goddess Calypso, but now it is time
to set sail. In the water in front of you, you see a sturdy raft. Logs of aspen and alder are lashed together,
a large sail stands in the center, and rations fill an end of the small boat. Take a step forward and feel the
wood under your feet. Feel the raft rock under you, and step again fully onto the raft. Turn back to the
shore, and listen to Calypso as she sends you off, lovingly and tearfully. Understand, that you are loved.

Your raft drifts away from the island, and the sail catches the breeze, and pulls you deeper to sea. Sit back
into the raft, and look up into the sky. Watch it turn from blue, to orange and red, purple, and finally
black and filled with stars. Amongst the stars you see the Pleiades, Ursa Major, and Orion twinkling
brightly. Several days pass uneventfully, giving you time to think about the world, and reflect upon
yourself. As you once again approach land, you notice clouds beginning to fill the sky. In the distance
you see a storm rolling your direction, and feel the winds pick up, pushing you again away from the shore.
As you begin to feel despair, a gust of wind knocks you into the water. At first you’re overwhelmed by
waves as they continue to crash into you, again and again.

However, you don’t give up hope, and you continue to fight. You thrust your arm above the surf and feel

you.
Ino tells you to release the raft and swim, and she will wrap you in a veil to keep you safe. While you
contemplate holding your ground, Poseidon shatters the raft and you are again dropped into the sea. But
Ino keeps her promise and wraps you tightly, keeping you safe until you reach the shore, safe and sound.
