Open Eye Visualization
Friday June 3rd 2016

-Prep

With eyes open, take long, slow, deep breaths. Feel muscles soften and loosen.
Feel focus and attention sharpen on an object, and then expand attention into the periphery.

Repeat long
slow
deep
breaths.

Smile knowing that this will ground, center, and enhance the sense of well-being and adventure.
Expect nothing.
Enjoy everything that touches the senses.

-Begin

On the surface of the floor or table in front of you, allow an animal to appear.
Then let it do whatever it wants. At some point, call the animal over and offer it a treat, then let it run and play again, doing whatever it wants.

[It's a short-haired, black cat, purring and striding over to say hi. It rubs its head against my arm, then softly jumps down to explore the room.]

Allow another animal to appear, then let it do whatever it wants.

[A puppy appears on the ground. It's a tri-color Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. It hops with excitement, tail wagging, eager to play with the black cat. The cat obliges, using its quickness to pat the Cav's head as the Cav lunges in and out to nip at the cat's paws. They continue this play throughout the space, occasionally pausing to rest.]

Vividly create other animals to join the scene. Let them play along and do what they want.

[As the cat and Cav continue their play, I let a kitten join the scene. It instantly crawls up my jeans and shirt, settling on top of my shoulder, purring and rubbing its head along my shoulder, neck, and chin. It then settles into a comfortable spot on my shoulder, enjoying the space, purring and gnawing with warmth and proud satisfaction.]

Move beyond normal physics and visualize an energy connecting the animals.

[As the animals rest, their energy softens, expands, and fills the room with their warmth.]

[As the animals burst to life with excited play, their energy sharpens and concentrates, bursts forward in the direction of their attention. With each playful pat of their paws against one another, see an energy burst at each touch, like a sparkler at the end of a whip.]

As the animals move throughout the space, use energy streams to connect to them.

When intending to use the energy to push or pull the animals, the energy streams become dark-toned, concentrated, thin powerful lines.

When intending to use the energy to offer appreciation and gratitude, the energy streams become translucent, soft, and expansive.

[I see the cat and Cav chasing each other playfully throughout the space. I send a thin line of concentrated energy toward them, elevating them a few feet off of the ground. They continue playing as if not noticing the change in elevation. Then they pause for a moment, noticing the change, then continue to chase and play throughout the space as though they could fly all along, just waiting for me to release them. The sleeping kitten on my shoulder, raises its head, opens it eyes as if smiling at the scene, then lowers its head back down, lets its eyes close, then purrs back into a comfortable sleep.]

Repeat the steps above to increase the number of pets playfully moving throughout the scene, and enjoy the feeling that it creates.

If feeling adventurous, then join the fun using the same easy-moving playfulness as the animals, or shapeshift into something new.

If feeling expansive, then let the sense of self dissolve into a feeling of inter-connectivity where there is no distinction between self and other. Life becomes one continuous movement and flow. Everything is as it should be.

Continue this exercise until life's responsibilities come calling.

If feeling comfortable and confident, then use one of the animals to ride along during daily tasks or chores, playing throughout the space.

-End
for now.
