I have posted below an Imagery Exercise. After reading it, you can guide yourself through the exercise or get someone to guide you through it. Either way works. After doing the exercise, I have posted questions for you to respond to in order to learn how you might integrate spirituality into your everyday life.

Your Sacred Mountain--An Imagery Exercise

Find a quiet, comfortable place. Create relaxation by allowing the thoughts in your mind to "appear" and "disappear." (About 3 minutes) Give yourself the freedom to explore your "Creative Consciousness."

Now, envision your sacred moutain. As you prepare to climb it, there will be obstacles along the way for you to resolve. The top represents your authentic spiritual self.

As you start out, what will you have to "let go of" physically to successfully climb your mountain? What unresolved issues do you have about your physicality?

Further on, what will you have to "let go of" emotionally? What issues still persist about your emotional life?

Still further up the mountain, what will you have to "let go of" mentally or intellectually? What unresolved mental issues still exist about your freedom to experience your authentic spiritual self?

What will you have to "let go of" spiritually in order to experience
who you are spiritually? What do feel is unfinished or unresolved?

Now, fully atop your sacred mountain, examine if there are any remaining barriers to the unlimited experience of who you are spiritually. Then examine if there are any unresolved issues to the unlimited integration of spirituality into your everyday life.

When you experience fully who you are spiritually, create a "major intention" for how you will live your life in service to others.

Now, descend your sacred mountain and become fully aware of where you are and the feelings in your body. Take a few minutes to record your experiences of the exercise in response to the posted statements below.
