Here's a link to a description of a guided meditation that I've been using for over a year:

Also at the moment I use an image of myself as a pebble in a river, wearing away gradually with the force of the water going past me; and also acrruing layers of sediment from the same water and action. So that I see myself as giving and receiving of a cycle that is endless and can be creative and destructive, but always benign in nature.
Seeing myself as being an integral part of the water cycle (life cycle) it helps to connect me with other living things, and to accept that benign acknowledge of the rest of my world is a natural and healthly thing.Rambly, sorry.
