A Voyage To The Centre of the Self (Visualization)
Personal understanding lies far below the outer surface of the self. We might call this place our "centre", the true core of who we are. This visualization will help you locate your own place of truth.
1. Close your eyes and concentrate on making your mind peaceful.
2. Imagine that you are floating on a warm ocean without effort.
3. Now you are gently swimming underneath the ocean, feeling increasingly calmed by the water's waves. Just underneath you, the ruins of a ship are visible. This is the outer shell of your mind.
4. As you approach, you see that the ship's woodwork has decayed. You swim in through an opening. The further into the ship you swim, the cleaner and brighter the water becomes.
5. At the centre of the ship, unspoilt, lies a treasure of precious objects, each one a characteristic of your true self. Spend time re-discovering yourself. Pick up each object and reflect on its meaning e.g. a coin might represent your honesty, a chalice (a cup or goblet) your generosity. Swim back to the surface, relaxed in
the knowledge of your worth.
