Visualization?

We've been talking about getting to this subject...and the time is NOW!!! YAY

We are going to start with a bit more detailed method, but it will work more in your favor for finding your " happy place " as well as give you an idea for the next version of this lesson.

If you are able to do so, please find a way to record yourself reading the details here. It will help you guide yourself on your journey. If you cannot, it's ok. Keep note of the detials.

I personally use this method to calm people down during a healing session and bring them to a point of total relaxation.

Get into a state of relaxation. If you are completely relaxed after meditation, do this then. Either way you need to be able to focus and be totally relaxed.


Picture before yourself the letter A. See it fade into your view, becoming clearer and clearer. Notice that it is very bold and a very bright red. See it before you, and notice in the backround a dirt road comming to light. As the dirt road gets clearer, the A fades until it is gone completely.

See the dirt path. Feel the sun shine on your face. Walk this path until you come to a fork in the road. To your left, see a meadow. Tall green grass. Look to your right. See woods. See a path leading into the woods and walk it. Notice the tree's, hear the birds, smell the smell that you can only experience in the woods. See the light struggle to push through the leaves of these tree's. You are on a straight dirt path. No obstacles.

Come to the end of the woods and see a clearing. Notice a large boulder to your left. A creek before you, flowing beautifully as the sun dances on the waters. To your right, you will notice a small wooden, uncovered bridge. It leads to the other side of this creek. On the other bend, you see a thick mist. Walk to the bridge and cross to the other side. Walk through the mist. As you get closer to it's end you see...........


This isn't a cliff hanger lol. Past the mist is your own personal world that only you know of. You may picture it to be anything you wish...but your heart knows it.

You may not see the same exact things on this visualization journey, but try to keep it close. The point isn't what you see in the exact details that I have given...it's that you see it at all =)

Please post your experience with this excersise here. If you saw more details, whatever.

well. when i did this the ending place after the mist was breath taking in my opinion. after the mist i saw i guess like a pond or something. Theres a small waterfall flowing down, nothing like the usual waterfalls with the water towering down, and can kill you. it was a gently flowing waterfall that flowed into a pond. then the pond narrowed towards the other end and slowly flowed into a small little water way, i guess another creek lol. But more importantly in the middle of the pond, theres a little island. nothing big, maybe like 6 ft in diameter. in this little area, surrounded by trees, rocks flowing water. i felt i guess safe. if this place were real i believe it would be a place where i can meditate, and be at peace with myself.

Fabulous Kry. Welcome to your own little slice of heaven =)

Did you have any trouble getting to that place with my instructions? Were you able to see the details around you as if you were really there?

umm it took me about 10 mins twice. your instruction was very good soo i didnt have trouble finding it =]

yeah i felt like i was able to see every detail. if i could i can probably draw it out or something

Well as u said before my "happy place" is like a place in the middle of the woods with and amazing water fall and grass all over and with stars above me an like glowing stuff in the air :P:P

We have some great results so far. Anyone else go on this journey?

I did, I really love forests and so there I was, in a forest lit up with the shining rays of the sun just flowing out from above the trees and putting me in a spotlight...I could see part of the big blue sky, and all the trees whispering and swaying with the gentle breeze.

it was awesome.

oh i forgot. there was also the sound of a trickling creek somewhere in the distance.

This worked really well for me. The instructions were great, but as with all visualization techniques and excersises, I had trouble with visualizing myself. I never know if I should visualize it like I'm looking out of my own eyes, or if I'm looking down on myself making this journey. The experience was great though. Everything felt totally lifelike. I felt the sun beating down on me, I felt sweat beading up and running down the back of my neck, and I felt a small itchy tingling where a gnat hit me. When I crossed through the mist though, I was not in a stationary spot like the others who posted. I fell into a trench, but then shot out extremely high, and was then soaring into the sky. It was very realaxing, and I guess I felt at peace. It was really nice. I felt a breeze on my face, and I flew through this endless sky, but I didn't feel helpless or trapped either. I controlled the flight, and if I wanted, I could change something. It was awesome!
