DVD Exercise

Guided Imagery - Inner Wisdom

The DVD assignment for this week is the fifth exercise on the DVD called  "Guided Imagery - Inner Wisdom." Do not do the the other two guided imageries - Floating Through Colors or Mountain Lake - for this week's assignment!

Practice doing this exercise at least two (2) times according to the instructions on the DVD. Resist the urge to fall asleep, so don't do it just before you go to bed.

Do it at times when you will not be disturbed. It lasts approximately 19 minutes.

In a typed format, respond to the following items:

  1. How you felt before the exercise
  2. Your experience during the exercise

    Discuss your response in light of these questions: What was your experience of meeting you as a child? Were you able to see yourself clearly? What thoughts were communicated between the two of you? What did you feel as you were with this child? How did it feel to leave?

    What was the form of the being that you saw as your guide? Did you notice if it was a person or some other entity? If it was a person, did you recognize him or her? What was the communication that happened? What ideas, guidance, or insights did you receive from this guide?
     

  3. How you felt immediately following the exercise
  4. How you felt long after completing the exercise.

On your typed paper, thoroughly respond to each of these items referring to the two times that you did them at home, and the time that you did it with us in class.
