The 1 minute imagination challenge. Do you use your imagination everyday? You should - try this.
Imagination dims with age. I cannot think of any specific cause to tie it to; essentially LIFE happens. The general grind of day to day living, the traumatic stuff that happens to us over the years, the constant go. All elements combined we begin to lose touch with a tool that we always have available to us.
You do not have to be a child or an immature adult to use your imagination. Albert Einstein stated it was his most valuable tool. Of course not all of us will be able to use quite like Albert did, but we can certainly test it out and feel the impact!
1 minute imagination Challenge: Try doing the following imagination exercise over the next week.
STEP 1: Look in the mirror and really take note of your eye color(s). NOT when you are rushing out the door (I try to do this when brushing my teeth before bed.) REALLY look.
STEP 2: Close your eyes and focus your attention to the space between your eyebrows (your 3rd eye chakra.) For the next 15-20 seconds (eyes closed) bring to mind anything in the world that reminds you of your eye color(s). Sky is the limit: a vegetable, a place, a fabric, a car, a vase, a chair, an animal, a flower, a shirt, etc.
Imagine the details of what came to mind as vividly as you can. Notice (don’t stay with) whatever feelings naturally arise as you scan it with your mind’s eye. What does is taste like, smell like, feel like, do you like, love it, hate it?
STEP 3: Open your eyes - look at the color while calling whatever you thought of to mind once more. Done!!! Challenge yourself to think of something different each time you do it.
This exercise will stretch your mind’s eye and help it expand. When we actively use and work this area in our energetic body it becomes more open and balanced. It governs our imagination, our intuition, our perception of the world, our ability to dream big, and most importantly our ability to see beyond just face value.
Lots of Light - Lots of Love!
