What Do You Want to See?

Exploring Visualization 

Determine Your Intent 


Decide what you want to know. It can be good practice to write it out. Sitting down and writing out your intent forces you to really consider what you are trying to accomplish or learn.
 


The White Room Visualization

The white room gives you a place to start. It's a place where you can be perfectly comfortable before pushing your way through the looking glass into a new and strange place.

Prepare


This will take as long as it takes. Find a quiet and private space. Relax. Sit up straight. Close your eyes.

Visualization


You are standing in a room with white walls and a hardwood floor. Above you is a glass dome light. It radiates a soft even light. In one wall, there is a window that looks out onto a bright blue sky and green fields. In the opposite wall there is a door. When you leave this room, you will find yourself somewhere different and beyond any place you can reach in the physical world. When you're ready, open the door.

Tips and Points


There's no instant gratification in this but there is great satisfaction. If you want an instant answer, buy an eight ball. 

Your answer lays beyond the door. But it's not looking for you, you're looking for it.

You can revisit the white room as many times as you need. Always start in the white room.
The landscape around the room may change in your absence. 

Choose a landscape to explore. Jungle, city, beach? Go where it feels right. Let the visualization evolve naturally as you move towards your answer. Elements may appear and new doors may open.

Focus on finding an answer. Push expectations out of your mind.


What do I see?


I am frequently surprised at the way the answers come. I find answers to my questions but not always the ones I think I’m asking. Sometimes it answers a question I need to ask (kind of like Jeopardy). Sometimes I find a symbol that fits into a larger message that I don’t understand yet. It has taken me time and experience to learn to understand what I find.
