Now Is the Time to Use your Imagination!

 

I was chatting with a great healer the other day over coffee. I was letting her into my inner world and how I use my imagination to get through life. I make stories about situations as I am in them. It is a natural way, a coping mechanism or a gift I have always used. She was fascinated and thought a class on this would be delicious for others. 

It was interesting as I never thought to teach others this lil gift of creating stories about things. It is so natural and how I cope. When you are young, you think everyone is coping how you are. I am sure this view of the world is not for everyone as nothing is. For those who play with imagination, it is an easy technique. We already are creating a story about what is occurring. We can control and twist that to our benefit. 

As the world is in transformation, so are we. Infact, we are creating it. We are joining with all the other ideas and putting forth the world. Through reaction, battle, peace or collaboration. What we do in our small world is effecting, rippling the larger world. As it is chaos on some levels, we can play with that and innovate. That is the gift of chaos, new things come forward from the apparent mess. 

If this is where we are, our imagination is key. Tapping into your inner world, what you desire, want and can imagine the world if it was up to you. With many creating a better world view inward, it is by law to manifest outward. Thoughts are things and energy flows where attention goes. 

Many days I am not quite sure what to be doing in my free time. I find resting, going inward more the call than expressing physically. It is not laziness, although some tiredness is about. It is more like being still, calm and imagining is the best use of time. I realize how many images of not so fun things, patterns of fear, loss and confusion are inside. I let go of that so I can get the clean canvas to paint my desired imaginings. 

I use my imagination while I am in situations as well. If it is a task I must do and I am not so keen on it, I will create a story where I am some magical character doing it. If others are unpleasant, rather than take it personal, I will create them into an oger or scary creature in humor. I add a giggle to the scene in my mind to make it seem lighter than it is. Then the energy to endure becomes easier and alive in me. It gives me an energy of gliding though it with less stress.

I am aware that I am creating a story on top of the one I am percieving. I am in the witness mode which detaches you from the full emotional dance going on. Energy is emotion so it can suck you fully into non awareness and you just react. When you can witness, you have the power rather than the energetic component of the situation. It is all about managing your energy. Rather than think detach, I just create a story of it all. 

As we are molding the world, I invite us all to spend more time in the inward picture. What do you really want in life? What is the essence of what you are seeking? How can you create that in the world in big and small ways? Do you realize the power of stories? Do you see there are many stories playing out similtaniously, side by side in all interactions? What story or character will you play inside or outside. Not in a deceptive way but in a playful joyous way to lighten the world. 

This using our imagine making faculty is the creation force. We can imagine and manifest. It is the gift of mind. We can dream things up, feel them energetically and then watch them come true. We are doing this daily and always whether aware or not. As transformation is everywhere, add you energy of positive ideas to it. Imagine in as they say. Feel the frequency of that image. It takes some time to do this. You must set aside time to day dream. Or find moments throughout your day too.

You can also consider this a divine tragedy/ comedy as Shakespeare inspired us too. Seeing what is happening and creating a story in your head that could support alleviating the suffering and sadness. To detach from the plethora of forms being presented and lighten it all up.

There is great power in this use of the high mind, the connected mind, the divine mind. It creates with ideas. Be sure they are fun, can inspire and can lift you from the suffering around and in you. That is how I am proceeding at this odd time. Dream up a better world for me and others!

Happy Dreaming!
