On Day Two, we talked about the power of feelings and how exploring them will increase your connection to clues about desire. To access desire, you must cultivate a relationship with your feelings.
Here is a simple Desire exercise to play:
1. Think about a desire. It can be something simple or something more complex. A bowl of ice cream, a trip you want to take, a house you want to buy. Anything of your choosing.
2. As you imagine the desire, bring in details of how it feels. What are the sensations you feel in your body? For example, you could imagine the sweet, cool, crunchiness of peppermint stick ice cream. Or imagine boarding the plane, landing in a new location. Imagine the sights, sounds and smells. Feel it in your body.
3. Set a timer. For 1 minute, 5 minutes, 10 minutes…feel the desire with all of the sensations and say or think the word YES! Over and over and over for the entire time.
