Two weeks ago, I was feeling rather unmotivated. I decided to find a guided meditation that would help to foster a more motivated me or at least perhaps point me in the direction of how to get back on that track. The meditation was one I'd never done before, it was something I'd searched and found on Spotify.
It was very interesting though because the meditation prompted me to place myself in a poorly lit room, in an old, abandoned home. I pictured a kind of sepia toned environment with a single window and a single chair. I can't remember now if the chair was part of it or my own creation - but nonetheless. It prompted me to picture my goals and my dreams outside the door of the room, however to reach them I would need to leave the room but every time I would approach there would be an obstacle known as "fear." The guided meditation prompted me to picture this fear as a monster, a person, etc. At some point however I would be able to push past the fear and reach my goals and regain my motivation. At the time this meditation seemed slightly silly. Though I do tend to enjoy guided meditation that prompts imagery and scenario based activities, the concept was kind of strange to sit with. I felt better after meditating - so I did get something out of it.
The interesting part about all of this was not that I did this meditation in the morning, but later in that same day when I was sleeping for the night I revisited that room, that place I had visited during my meditation. It was nightmarish but familiar. It was almost like I was reliving the guided meditation now without any kind of direction from an outside source. It was really trippy and super exciting at the same time. I plan on doing this meditation again, I feel like there's some great potential for insight and some conscious/subconscious overlap.
