Feng Shui from the Inside, Out – Day 20
Some abstract artworks create shapes that are filled with references to reality, with faces and bodies and beings that are not ‘really’ there but which you, from a certain angle, can see. These works stimulate your brain, teasing it to make sense of something that isn’t even there…kind of like life.
My very first Feng Shui teacher, whom I chose specifically because her approach was informed by her Native American roots, used to caution her students not to limit their possibilities by making specific statements about what they wanted to have come to them because, after all, they might unintentionally close the door on some even more amazing possibilities that they were simply unable to imagine at that point in their lives. When she wanted something of the Universe she would always leave the door open, “This,” she would say, “I’d like this or something better.”
See the Relaxation and Rejuvenation area as a place where your imagination can run rampant, without your Ego Process judging the inspirations that bubble up. Think ‘future’ for this segment of your spaces…and leave the door ajar.
Here’s an assignment that may help to put your mind in an open, imaginative, creative space:
As I am reading this, I allow myself to feel gratitude to you, my wonderful body, for everything you do for me every day, breathing, circulating my blood and lymph, allowing the food I eat to nourish me, protecting me.
I notice how my body is feeling right now.
