Settle yourself into a position that is comfortable for you. Now squeeze your toes up very tight and ask God to help you let go of distractions. Now relax and imagine that everything that gets in the way of you concentrating is leaving you just as the tension is. Now squeeze your leg muscles, and relax, imagining the distractions leaving – centering yourself in God. Now your stomach and chest muscles, and relax, imagine the distractions leaving. Now clench your hands and arms and ask God to help you let go of distractions, and relax.

Now focus on your breath. Breathe at a pace that is natural to you and listen to your breath going in, and coming out, going in and coming out. Breathe in and breathe out, until all you are aware of is your breath.

Now, reflect on this day, this week, this month. Remember all the bad things that have happened to you or the bad things that you have done. Remember all the negative emotions that have affected you. These bad things, these negative emotions are now red. They are a red ribbon, or red liquid, or red smoke. As you breathe out, imagine the red ribbon pulling from your mouth into the cup of wine in front of you. Breathe out the bad things, the negative emotions, the red into the cup. Fill the cup with your red and let it leave you.

Your red is now in the cup. This cup is also filled with wine, the blood of Jesus. Jesus’ blood cleanses and changes the red. Now lift the cup to your mouth as you drink, imagine the red turning to white as it passes over your lips. This is the power of Jesus death and resurrection. Turning the red into white. Imagine the white seeping down into every part of you. Filling you with white.

Now take the bread. Feel the roughness of the bread. Feel the softness of the bread. Jesus said that he is giving this bread to you as his body. Jesus is offering himself to you. To be with you, to be a part of you. Eat the bread and imagine it in your mouth, touching your throat, moving down to your stomach. Imagine the bread filling your stomach, dissolving into your blood. Imagine Jesus spreading through your blood stream from your stomach. Providing nourishment, healing, and strength, to your legs, to your arms, to your feet, to your hands, to your face, to your mind.

Now rest in Jesus, in his cleansing, in his strength, in his healing. Focus on your breathing again, breathe in white and picture it swirling through-out your whole body.
