Meditative Question: What lies beyond the realm of dream?
Symbolic Color: Blue
Symbolic Direction: West
When we go to sleep each night, each of us enters the realm of dreams. But what is it that lies just beyond dreaming? What have we become once we enter this realm? Are we exactly as we know ourselves? Or are we something else? When you venture into today’s contemplative question, you will begin your path toward unraveling a great mystery.
To begin working with this contemplative question, find a comfortable, meditative sitting position in a quiet space facing the west. Light a blue candle and sit approximately two feet away from the flame.
Next, cast your gaze upon the flickering candle and hold the question firmly in your abdominal area. Breathe normally and maintain focus on the question for 20-30 minutes.
You may not arrive at a magically satisfactory conclusion in one sitting alone. To manifest a greater depth of answer, it will be important to see this question as it actualizes in each of your daily activities. Allow your body, mind, and spirit to become this question as you eat, sleep, work, and play. Remember not to apply logic to the question. Over time, a shift in your perception will take place and you will realize your own answer.
