Resonant Skylines and Foreign Heaven



Resonant Skylines



Using the following prompts, recall a memory. Explore the associations you have with that memory.  Return to that time and see what aspects of that experience your intuition guides you back to.
The prompts will ask you to recall a time when you felt this, or experienced that. You can methodically work back through your memory looking for times you had that experience. Look through each stage of your life so far, or through the past years, or months, or days, or hours.
Once you pinpoint it, explore the associations that form from this chain of memories linked by a common feeling or state of being. Practice the feeling until it builds momentum, swelling within you.  Have a spatial sense that the feeling triggered by the memory chain inhabits a certain space 3-dimensionaly, then transform that space into a sphere. The easiest way to do this is to visualize a crystal ball or snow globe that contains the memory chain but if you want to go more abstract with it you can. You can shift in and out of the memory, switching to and from the point of view of the you inside the sphere to the you that observes from the outside. When you have succeeded in stabilizing the memory in spherical form, ignite a source of illumination within it so that it is lit up from the inside. What aspects of the memories shift now that is has been set aglow? Now release the sphere and let it float up into the sky like a lantern.


Recall:

Voices that uplifted you
Eyes that recognized you
Touch that guided you
Growth that relieved you
Things realized
Things answered

The places you went to for stillness and expansion
The struggles of others that resonated the most with you
The times you felt joy in the face of limitation.  
The goals you were most driven to pursue and why, and what the pursuit of those goals actually resulted in.


Sensing someone wishing they could express more of who they really are.
Choosing vulnerability in order to move forward.
Times you and another were inspired by the same thing.
Times you realized where and why someone saw beauty in the world.
Sensing that you are a valuable asset to a universal plan.
Feeling indestructible, untouchable by harm, because of what you know you are delivering into this world through your seeking. 





Foreign Heaven 

In this part, you will establish memories and associations just like before, only this time, imagine that each scene is linked by a network of doors, allowing people from each memory to explore the other memories and bump into each other. You can even move objects around, or swap the elements of the memories among each other in any way you can think of. How does this play out?
Begin by recalling the memories and associations, then go back and mix up elements. When you are done and you have watched these new scenarios of exchange play out, imagine a stream of water that flows through all the scenes, linking them together.


Recall:

A time you were the recipient of unconditional acceptance
 A time you were able to take a short cut and instantly realize your intentions for action without going through a process.
A time you made a relevant contribution to someone’s life and felt grateful to yourself as a result.  
A time you awakened to an unsolved mystery
A time you felt connected even in isolation
A time you realized that a struggle was actually an opportunity for growth and discovery.
A time you spoke truthfully and clearly about a difficult topic and others did the same.
A time you found someone who shared the same sense of purpose as you.
A time someone saw past the limitations of your mind and forgave you for your weakness.
A time you felt an uplifting presence from someone, or they felt it from you.
A time someone showed you the way
A time someone acknowledged there was potential for beneficial exchange between you, in spite of the fact that you and they live in absolutely different worlds, in states of being and mind so different that it makes you aliens to each other.


Imagine the qualities of the person you could share these memories with.
