5 Minute Zen exercise to relax

Here is a path that works for me to get a bit de-stressed, or to my intuition about a decision. I call it the SANCTUM path, because it helps me remember the "windows" I need to open. (silence, awareness, neutrality, clarity, trust, unttachment, modesty) 
All you need is 5 minutes and a quiet space.

- Think of a place where you have been completely at ease
- "go" there in your mind, taking your time, leave anything you don't need behind, including problems you don't need to solve right this moment
- "arrive" there, settle down, take a few deep breaths, observe every detail "there"
- think of a "role model" person you would like to be there with you
- Think of having a conversation with that person, or asking a simple question ... what would they say?
The answer you hear is the voice of your intuition. Try it sometime, I'd be interested what you do to take a "time out of mind"
