Energy Body Ways

Is there spiritual evolution?  I was recently responding to the post  here.

My thoughts were:

Interesting question, but one very hard to determine. Our egos will always get in the way.

One observation I have is that anytime a natural disaster, war, or any form of unexpected death ends up killing people those who survive are being selected for their intuition or luck.

So over time there may be a progress of consciousness based on a subconscious ability among survivors to see into the future or be lucky.

This would take a long time but eventually evolution would select for quantum consciousness, i.e. minds able to transcend space and time.

Evolution looks like it selects for consciousness, specifically quantum consciousness (which would show up as luck).

If this is so can you move more in line with evolution selecting for luck and transcendent mind by using your mind in specific ways?

Two known ways to enhance the mind’s functioning in these ways are 1) meditation and 2) guided imagery type exercises.

So you’re in the right place!

Guided Imagery is a tool for relaxation and using your imagination.

Because I believe in fate and destiny you will not likely find me selling anything here that promotes the view that we can change our lives to make them anything they want to be.  Tony Robbins, you belong in the back of the class where you won’t distract everyone with your constant talking!

However I do believe we should use what we can to make our lives here more enjoyable.  One of the sad facts of our time is that much of modern entertainment doesn’t really recruit our imagination.  So much is provided with movies and special effects and high-resolution video games that it overwhelms our own imaginative powers.

Yet we  all have a rich inner world.  Exploring our imagination in a relaxed state is a great way for us to get to know ourselves better. Also, exploring our inner realms is a great way to relax.

Who doesn’t enjoy a great book taking us away to a favorite fantasy? Or a great radio program or talking book?

A properly written and structured guided imagery script can be used to explore your own inner world, not just an author’s creation.

My recently created guided imagery script offers a pleasant and relaxing journey into your imagination of your ideal future.  You will be able to use it to:

• expand your connection to your inner world
• explore what is the most enjoyable future for yourself
• gain more self-knowledge
• achieve a state of relaxation

You may also get some ideas about how to move a bit closer to your ideal future.

You will begin by entering a creative and receptive state of mind and then activate your powers  imagination. Then you will journey into your future to discover what you most desire to experience in your life.

This approach will help you activate your imagination and become more relaxed.  You may also find you will be able to create solutions to get to your ideal future quickly and creatively.

Guided Imagery Script: Creating Your Future Self

To a more relaxed and creative life!

We live in two worlds.  We live in the world of reality and we live in the world of our minds.

There is not much you can do about reality.  We can do some things, change little bits and pieces here and there.

By contrast, in our minds we are set free.  We can be or do anything we want.

The only limit is our imagination.  Fortunately, through practices like guided imagery, we can increase our powers of imagination.  We can expand beyond our previous limits.

Take a moment to imagine one thing you would like to be a year from now.  Make it a feeling of some kind… happiness… inner peace… abundance…

Imagine what that would be like a year from now… feel it in as much intensity as you can…

Images may come into your mind as you focus on that feeling….

What do you hear as you experience that very desirable feeling…  What do you feel… What are you seeing…

Now I want you to realize something very important…

This is very important to know….  know that as you are feeling those feelings in the future…

You are also feeling them right now.

…

Yes… you are feeling them now…

Allow yourself to feel them now for whatever amount of time is comfortable for you…

When you are ready come back to the regular world…

Remembering the feelings you created for yourself…

Remember how something you thought was in the imagined future was actually happening right now…

You experienced the two worlds of imagination and reality, overlapping.  They became as one.

In the future you may realize your imagination can help you experience and create what you desire now in this reality…

… as you live and play within our two worlds, the worlds of imagination and reality.

It’s important when doing guided imagery or visualization to take breaks and observe yourself.

Watch how things are unfolding for you, in your life and in your feeling of well-being.  Is your guided imagery working for you?

Like with many things it is easy to get lost in chasing some goal and lose sight of how you are feeling, whether you are getting what you want, and what you might be doing right or wrong.

Focus is essential for short times.  Like anything, too much of any one act will cause problems.

Guided imagery is a form of focus, however unlike most other activities it should also be relaxing.

The cycle of focusing and then relaxing is an important one to learn.  I advise that if you have to choose between focus and relaxing you choose relaxing.

Short periods of focus, concentration, or imagination and creativity are best offset with generous amounts of relaxation and contemplation of results.

Ok, I’m back and here to write about the jedi, specifically the Return Of The Jedi.

The important thing about Return Of The Jedi is Luke Skywalker’s newfound maturity.  You can see it in the way he carries himself, how he negotiates, how he does battle.  No longer is he a mere apprentice in the ways of the Force.

Instead, he is now a Master.  And it shows.  This kind of visionary storytelling, the development of a single character through such a range of trials, is what moves us most deeply.  We can also experience his process, his journey, by watching his practices, struggles, and access to secret powers in Return Of The Jedi.

Guided Imagery is a form of controlling the Force.  What is the Force if not the energy of consciousness?  Similarly, when you begin to practice guided imagery you begin to channel and develop the energy of consciousness.

No one can predict whether you will one day become a Jedi of guided imagery.  Although it is very likely you won’t be battling with light sabers in regular reality, the ability to wield the powers of relaxation, visualization, focus, and creativity can help you tap into your own special powers.
