One of the first things that is sequestered from the child as she is socialized and civilized is her autonomous sense of wonder and active imagination that sees easily beyond the agreed upon forms of life. The loss of this is devastating to each of us as it drives us to give up a significant part of our free flow and interconnectedness with the seen and the unseen. Schools and institutions reward and celebrate conformity and coloring between the lines. The child loses her chutzpah and shuffles though life toeing the line. Not no more! The reawakening of the child is augmented by the return of the tools of imagination and wonder. It must be invited and demonstrated and cultivated for awhile. This activity is about doing just that.
- Pretend you have just decided to re-incarnate into the earth plane again. You are excited. You anticipate a very different experience this time. What are your dreams and desires? What would you like to accomplish? How would you like your parents to be this time? Where do you want to incarnate into? Who is there with you as you make your plans?
- You go out at night and look up to the stars. You catch sight of one star that seems to call to you very strongly. There is a reason…you have been there! Briefly tell the story…
- As a child, What did you dream about being and doing when you got older? Likely, things did not turn out the way you were thinking. For a moment, make believe that they did and tell about your life when your dream did come true
- You are sitting in your house and you hear an unusual noise. It does not frighten you but is intriguing. Go explore and tell about what unfolds.
- Make up an adventure you created when you were 28 and just entering into your Chakra Two recycle. You had just become aware of the existence of woundings in your sacral area
- Make up a world where there is no anger. Talk about how that would be for you.
- What if you had no fear at all. Describe what you would do in that kind of world.
- Make believe that all the people or things you have ever lost or become sad about were suddenly in the room with you..all OK. Describe what you would do or say. Maybe choose three to have a conversation with telling them about your experience when they went away and what it feels like now that they are back..
