Down-and-dirty instructions for practicing with images

Ways to open images

  1. Experience of the Energy Body ( as image – lines, clouds, etc.).
  2. Spontaneous images arising out of a samadhi state. Where the perception of things, of body, of world, et cetera, is a bit less substantial, it’s more fertile for images.
  3. Images can arise from experiences of strong emotion
  4. Deliberately imagining (dream, figure, archetype, memory that felt imaginal)
  5. Opening a gateway of the imagination. – walking down a flight of stairs in one’s imagination… an open field etc.
  6. Daydreaming and then catching an image with resonance.

Tips for relating to images

  1. Don’t make demands of / kill the image
    – Don’t ask it give you something or explain something to you
    – Don’t demand it have a clear or fixed meaning
    – Don’t demand it be “nice” or “spiritual”. Taboo, ugly, scary is fine.
  2. Stay sensitive to the energy body / emotional body and trust a sense of aliveness above all else
  3. If you feel connected, thats all you need.
  4. Remember images can arise in any sense modality: visual, sound, taste smell, kinesthetic (sense of movement).
