Cultivating your own set of go-to imagery gives you a clear place to start your visualization-imagination work. Whenever and wherever you are, you can go to your bookcase and pull off the imagery you want for the moment. Practicing each of your library holdings and keeping them fresh and powerful.

How to Start Your Library

I will give you some starter imagery in a series of upcoming posts. You will get a mix of imagery that:

• promotes rest and relaxation;
• activates your curiosity and creativity; or other in-built skills
• helps you in uncomfortable situations (hassles), emergencies, and during the challenges of living life.

I will give you the basic framework of what you want to do in each imagery set. You will need to fill in that structure with your own memories, experiences, poetic ideas, favorite images, and more. You will not be getting some highly canned guided imagery. Instead, you will customize everything and that process will make the imagery that much more powerful.

Start off slowly and work with one imagery structure.

You will need several sessions to collect and fully round out what you want to appear in your imagery.

After that you will need several more sessions to get comfortable with what you have.

This needs to be followed by more sessions so you can develop deep mastery of what you have developed so it will appear easily and rapidly.

Lastly, you will need to set up a system where you will remember you have these imagery in your library. The most common problem with any inner work techniques is that we forget to use them! Make a list, make a drawing, make something for each set you develop that reminds you, on a regular basis, that you have your imagery library. Better yet, practice each one at least once a week to keep it in your short-term memory.
