Example Reading #1

Imagery for Challenges

Feet

You are standing on the precipice of a narrow waterfall that has lots of curves and bumps to it like a long water slide. You are looking down and with your feet you are trying to move backwards to keep from being swept away with the water. Eventually, you slide down the waterfall, but a clear message comes afterwards that this is only what you worry will happen, but has not yet happened. The feeling is that whatever you are involved in does call for your attention, but you are afraid it has control of you and not you in control of it.

Shins

You are jumping on a trampoline just trying to have a little fun when your toes start to cramp and curl towards your foot. The curling represents tension in your body. You are wondering how to resolve this. You have the thought that your work is affecting many aspects of your life. You feel disappointment.

Knees

1. You are cooking hamburgers and then stacking them neatly one on top of the other, making a tower out of them and feeling certain that at some point this situation is not going to go well. You are worried that the way you are approaching things is not clever enough and so something will go wrong. Your worry makes you feel irritated most of the time.

2. You are trying to compose a tune using a keyboard. You get off to a good start but then get frustrated that you can’t arrive at the next good tones for your melody. Then you think to yourself, “How can I produce my best when I feel so irritated.“

Root

You are skiing very fast down a slope and saying, “I gotta be fast, I gotta be efficient, I gotta, gotta, gotta….“ You look completely focused on skiing, not aware of anything you are passing going down the slope.

Sacral

There are small pieces of metal pouring into treasure chests and as soon as one is full, it fills another. You say, “How am I going to get these chests full. I have to keep a close eye on them.“ There is a feeling that what motivates you to work is primarily to get those chests full and you approach it with a serious single-minded intensity. You are focused on your own security with few thoughts of others.

Arms

You are flapping your arms in the way a bird would to take off. This is symbolic of you trying to get something in your life to “take off“. You say, “I know I can do this. My sheer will is so powerful!“ You feel like if you just concentrate enough and try hard enough with all you’ve got, you will at some point fly like a bird. However, there is no indication that you have even slightly left the ground. Fruitless.

Solar Plexus

You are pressing grapes with your feet. It’s a lot of work and you say, “I have to juice these for all they are worth.“ You are focused on getting the most benefit for yourself out of what you are working on. Because you find it tiring, you hope that you don’t have to do the job of pressing the grapes again.

Heart

1.You say, “I can’t seem to expand my heart fully. It’s like something is squeezing it.“

2. You are going on a walk with a little dog on a leash. It starts running and you find it difficult to keep up with. You wonder how it is possible that you could have any difficulty keeping up with an animal whose steps are much smaller than yours. You say, “I underestimated her speed.“

Throat

“I regret getting myself into this, I just want it to end. I just want peace. I hope it was worth it.“

Third eye

“I have to reconsider what matters to me. What matters? What do I really want out of this life? Maybe reflecting on the answer was one of the purposes of this work experience.“

Imagery for the Healed State

Feet

You say, “Life doesn’t have to be so hard. I am making it hard. I am spinning my wheels.” I see a picture of Fred Flintstone sitting in his car and the way the feet would first circle wildly before the car ever took off.

Shins

I see you sitting on the lower end of a crescent moon, just swinging your legs with all the time in the world. You say, “All I ever wanted was peace. God gave me this crescent moon to hang out on. What more could I want? I have been trying so hard. I could just ask God to show me the way to peace.“ There is not a feeling that your life is just about hanging around, but rather that God has many spectacular gifts for you. You have realized that you can more consciously choose His way. His way is your way. In reality, you both want the same thing.

Knees

You are riding beautifully on a horse that is galloping in smooth, gentle strides. You sense that life with God is like that. Then you stop the horse and turn around and say, “There is nothing chasing me anymore.“ You think, “Relief, I’m truly free.“

Root

I chose this heavy load, but now I can choose differently, choose better. I chose a hard way, but that doesn’t need to be the case. Life is easier when I know how to lean on God. I know I will be shown.

Sacral

1. You have let go of the heavy load. You are swimming in a pool and then you stand up and say, “I feel washed clean. I’m looking forward to the day.“ There is an air of positive expectation.

2. You are in a rodeo riding a bucking horse and the scene goes into slow motion to indicate that even in this storm of movement, you maintain a calm from your trust in God. You say, “If things do get difficult, I don’t resist it like before. I lean on God and accept His help.“

Arms

You are rolling a long log up a hill and then you say, “Wait, wait, this is my old way of doing things. I need to get quiet and connect with my new way of doing things with God. Then I act.“

Solar Plexus

I see plants growing fast, green and strong and there is a sense that you now have more than enough of what the plants need to be beautiful. You say emphatically, “I’m thriving.“ You are amazed and pleased.

Heart

You are on a hayride going through a beautiful countryside. When it stops, you get out, look around at the mountains and meadow and have a realization that no matter where you are, you are at home with God. It is a personal relationship with Him and feeling your connection with Him feels safe like home. You say, “This is the peace I have wanted.“

Throat

You say, “Wow, how my life has changed. I love my life.“

Third eye

You are standing in the kitchen wondering what to cook. Then you have the thought that every moment can be a moment at peace. You think, “I want to feel at peace no matter what I’m doing. This is not something I turn on and off. It’s what I am now. I’m steady.“

Example Reading #2

This person set the intention to understand: “Why am I always so tired?” We had already done a full reading and this came later as a separate question.

1. You are standing at the edge of the waves of the ocean with just your toes in it and then you start running into the water almost charging into it and swimming as fast as you can and you say, "Take it on, take it on, take it on". There's an approach that is almost aggressive and then when you are far out in the water you say, "I'm so tired. That was exhausting". There is a feeling that you have suppressed the reason for being so tired because you don't want to really consider it a possibility and then have to change your approach.

2. You are riding a bike very fast and with your left hand you keep hitting a kind of marker along the street. The markers represent milestones of achievement. You're very focused on hitting those markers as fast as you can and when I asked why you were doing that you said, "My life depends on it". The feeling is that you are working at your pace and not at a pace that comes from Love which would know that this hysteria is not necessary.

3. You are playing a drum set with all the energy you've got and your hair is flying about and you're moving wildly and Spirit asks you to ask It what is actually needed. "Ask Me what you need to do and then listen. I will give you cues that you can understand. You are going to wear yourself out this way. This is about control. Let go and Trust in Me. You don't know what the actual purpose is."

4. I asked for a picture of the healed state. You are holding a binder and leafing through the pages looking ever so calm and you say "God's in charge now. He's the ultimate efficiency. There's no wasted energy. I trust in God's Divine timing and order. Each day, everything I need to know will be given to me. No stress."
