o Relax, while standing upright, and focus on your breathing.
  Breathe deep breaths from the diaphragm.  Breathe together if
  in a group.
  - Feel the wind, and let it relax you and awaken your spirit
    within, as your deep breathing takes you into non-ordinary
    reality.
  - Picture, in your mind's eye, a light inside you.  As you
    breathe, feel the light expand, purify and energize you  - as
    it expands to fill your aura.
  - Feel yourself glowing, balanced, purified, and full of power.
  - Connect with your inner self (your higher self), and feel
    your intuitive self operating.

o Feel yourself as:
  - The wind, full of life and intelligence, communicating with
    all round.
  - The Sunlight, warm, alive, channeling the power to
    communicate with nature and energizing all around.
  - Water, emotional, intuitive, refreshing, and connected with
    nature.
  - The Earth, and note how your physical body is able to wander
    while remaining part of Mother Earth.

o Focus on your spiritual self, and:
  - Note the light within and feel it as love,
  - Expand the light and love beyond the immediate aura of your
    body to the surrounding area - where you will go to find a
    power spot and contact nature spirits.

o Telepathically (by thinking while channeling the love and light
  energy) send out signals to nature spirits to emerge and be
  aware of your presence.
  - Say why you have come, and invite them to join in sharing,
    mutual celebration, and  the work you intend.
  - Visualize the light and love energy you are channeling
    extending out and merging with the light from distant places.
  - Feel the power of the Earth flowing up through your body and
    feet.
  - Feel the power from the sky, and channel this power also to
    further energize the carrier signal of light and love for
    communicating with nature.
  - Visualize the light expanding and merging.
  - Continue to send out telepathic signals.

o Now go deeper:
  - Close your eyes, sit on the Earth, and feel your connection
    while you channel more light and love.
  - Continue modulating the light and love with your thoughts -
    inviting receptive spirits to join with you and to make
    themselves known.
  - If in a group, someone should start playing a drum at a rate
    of about one beat per second; and you should listen to the
    drum and let the drum take you deeper.
  - Affirm that you are a nature magician, a medicine person, who
    knows and communicates with nature.  Let this part of
    yourself emerge to full consciousness.  Let the drum and the
    connection to your inner self awaken that part of yourself
    that naturally communicates with other life forms.  Let it
    awaken your telepathic senses.
  - Continue sending telepathic signals to nature.
  - When you feel ready and an inner urge to begin, open your
    eyes a crack and look around, while continuing to channel
    love and light and telepathically calling for a response.
  - You may see light coming from certain areas that are
    receptive.  You may get other signals, such as a feeling of
    power or love returning in a certain direction.  Perhaps the
    type of response to this work will be unexpected; follow your
    intuition in interpreting it.
  - You may test your connection by communicating (mentally)
    instructions for signals for yes/no responses (such as light
    getting brighter for less and darker for no) and then
    mentally ask questions and observe the responses.

o When you have found an areas that seems to be responsive and
  receptive, begin walking to the area, while beaming love
  energy.  Extend your aura to the area and sense the energy.


ENTERING A POWER SPOT:

o Before entering a power spot, ask permission to enter.  If the
  response is good, enter; if not, locate another more receptive
  area.

o When entering the power spot, look around.  Perhaps the
  responsive energy will be concentrated around some singularity
  (a bush, a tree, a specific branch, a moss covered rock, or
  other entity that stands out).  Perhaps the energy will be more
  general.  Use your intuition and feedback from the spirits to
  guide your actions.

o If it feels right, send out a signal that you would like to
  touch the singularity (or the ground) for better communication.
  If the response is good, approach beaming love energy, and then
  touch or hug the singularity (or the ground).

o Treat the spirits as you would other Pagans you meet for the
  first time - be sensitive, open, and listen.
