Imagination Exercise: Creating Your Inner Space

This is an exercise connected to the Dreams, Visions and Imaginings episode. In this imagination exercise we will create an inner space using your imagination. This will be a space that will function like an inner home or harbor where you can come to seek guidance from the inner/inbetween realms or come to practice using your inner senses. A space like this proved to be very valuable for me in my journey of starting to look inwards, as it made such an unfamiliar and at times scary journey feel safer and more familiar. It provided me with a place to land, instead of completely jumping into the unknown. See the video version of this episode on YouTube Access the Audio File for the guided part of this episode here. Read the Written Notes here. You can use these notes to do the exercise on you own, or record your own version that you adjust according to your own wishes. Resources: This exercise is loosely inspired by a similar exercise from Laurie Cabot’s Book of Shadows, which is a very useful resource for different meditation and visualization exercises. I have gone through all of them myself and been fascinated by the deeper and different layers that have opened up as a result. But if you don’t identify with the term “Witch” or approaches described as "witchcraft” this may not be the resource for you. The way I see it, these approaches are something that everyone has a natural birthright and ability for, and we don’t necessarily need to define them as any kind of witchcraft or magical practice. So I have personally taken some steps back from calling it witchcraft of magic, but you can describe it in that way if it makes it more fun for you to test it out, or if it makes you feel more empowered to use these terms. If not, then just consider this a continuation of a meditation exercise and you can think of it in more neutral terms.
