I wan't _exactly_ remember :P

Something like:

I took two nice realaxing images, (grayscale), blurred them to
oblivion, they made the base two layers. Change colour balance,
curves, output levels to get a nice brown from the grey.

Then I drew some random squiggles with the mouse.

A long comnination of pinching, expandin, polar coordinates and some
other distortion effects JUST on the lines

Duplicate the layers for the lines, make them glow with blur

Set the lend mode to burn in for the lines layer

A lot of tweaking and playing around!

That was about it :)
