Wise Mind Visualization

Due to all the crazy evil things happening in this world as people barbque and watch fireworks, I decided not to get into reality/Events.

Here’s a meditation visualization you can do when you want to access your “Wise Mind”, (Intuition, Gut), the part of you that knows.

I use it with people and then do an art therapy experience afterwards:

Wise Mind Meditation Visualization Guide

Introduction:

1. Preparation:

• Begin by taking three deep breaths: in through the nose, out through the mouth.

• Encourage relaxation and focus on the present moment.

• To enhance bodily awareness, start with some gentle head circles or body movements before the deep breaths.

Step-by-Step Visualization:

1. Find Your Comfortable Space:

• Guide the participant to imagine a place where they feel comfortable and at ease. This could be a clearing in the woods, or any other place they prefer indoors or outdoors .

2. Engage with Emotion Mind:

• Invite the participant to visualize Emotion Mind approaching them. This can take any form—a being, a presence, a color, or an energy.

• Encourage an interaction with Emotion Mind. If they have a question, they can ask it. Alternatively, they can simply have any kind of experience with its presence.

• When the interaction feels complete, have the participant raise their hand to signify they are done.

• Take three deep breaths to transition to the next phase.

3. Engage with Rational Mind:

• Visualize Rational Mind approaching in a form similar to Emotion Mind—whatever the participant imagines it to be.

• Interact with Rational Mind, asking your question or simply having an experience with its presence.

• Once ready, raise a hand to signify the end of the interaction.

• Take three deep breaths to transition to the next phase.

4. Engage with Wise Mind (Intuition Mind):

• Visualize Wise Mind approaching in whatever form it takes for the participant.

• Ask questions or simply experience Wise Mind’s presence.

• Raise a hand to signify the end of the interaction.

• Take three deep breaths.

5. Return to the Present:

• After engaging with Wise Mind, take another three deep breaths.

• Encourage the participant to stay with their experience as long as they need.

• When ready, they can slowly open their eyes.

Conclusion:

• Allow the participant to sit quietly and reflect on their experience.

• Remind them to open their eyes very slowly and to take their time transitioning back to the present moment.

Post-Meditation Art Therapy Exercise

1. Draw a Venn Diagram:

• Draw three intersecting circles on the paper.

• Label them: Emotion Mind, Rational Mind, and put Wise Mind (in the middle).

Fill in each mandala with whatever materials you want to use.

2. Reflective Writing:

• In each section, write three words or statements reflecting the experience with each mind:

• Emotion Mind

• Rational Mind

• Wise Mind

3. Process the Experience:

Read your sentences or words out loud.
