Spider Meditation:
In your mind, you see an open place with one exit. From that exit, you see a small garden Spider approaching. You follow the Spider & you see that she walks to a tree. In that tree she starts to weave a web blocking the exit. The Spider weaves her web so steadily that is fascinates you & soon you realize that the weaving itself is a meditation. With that weaving you imagine her as a creator weaving the whole universe & you also imagine her as a dream catcher weaving the net to manifest our deepest desires. 

When the Spider is finished weaving, she sits in the middle of the web & she starts her teaching to you. She ends her teachings by telling you that she weaves a new web every day. She tells you that she takes down the web when it is ruined & begins again every day & she never has to think about it, she just spins her web with great care.
After giving her lessons to you, she takes down her web blocking the exit & leaves. By doing so she is signalling that it is time to end your meditation or visualization.
