New Patterns for a New Reality
It is always useful to reflect on the patterns that are holding us back from creating the life that we want. Becoming aware of these patterns can be difficult, but with some focus and intent, we can begin to see the patterns and see how to change them. One excellent way to do this is to use an exercise I call The Diorama. We are all familiar with the three dimensional dioramas that we created as projects in elementary school. This is the type of three-dimensional image you want to imagine during this exercise.
Diorama Exercise
First imagine the diorama space in your mind. I usually place my image in front of me, as if I was holding it and looking at it. Decide on the "problem" you want to work with. For example, perhaps you have problems with money, or with a particular relationship. Ask the issue to appear in the diorama. Allow the image to take shape without imposing what you think it should look like. Sometimes things are not really how we perceive them, and your higher mind will give you the information that you need but may not be aware of. Not all people will "see" an image. Some may be able to "feel" something in the box. Perhaps you hear sounds or tones. Be open to receiving information in whatever way is natural for you. Examine what appears from all sides. Rotate the diorama. Look at it from all sides, from above and below. Notice what you notice. This is all simply information, there is no need to judge anything you see. Ask yourself, "If this pattern were more useful to me in my life, what would it need to look like?" Allow your higher mind to lead you. Notice what you notice. You may be drawn to one part of what you see or feel. If so, focus on that part, and ask it to become more useful. . Ask if there is anything else that needs to change. Follow your intuition. Repeat the process for changing it. . Continue until you feel finished. You can even ask, "Am I done?" Your higher mind will signal a "yes" or a "no." . Be patient! Listen, feel, wait for the ideas to appear! . Now, pay attention to your life and notice what is different where that issue is concerned. You will notice the effects, and sometimes they are immediate and quite amazing!
Have fun with this exercise, and create the reality you've always wanted for yourself!
