[Ailist] Help - Last Minute

[Rob Voyle]

Hi Mike

a thought of Dreams: Have you ever stopped to ponder that you are going to 
spend the rest of your life in the future? Since that is true lets make it a future 
that you and I would prefer to live in.

For Dream work I like to use guided imagery (not guided visualization which is 
just a subset of imagery) as a precursor to drawing or other artistic expression.

You can find a script I use for Church organizations at:
http://www.clergyleadership.com/ai-resources/Imagine-a-church.pdf

I have adapted it also for business by changing the language and also for work 
with the individuals.

Here is a quick way to get people to think about imagination:

Q: Who in your organization has the biggest imagination...?

A: The biggest worrier.  

For worry is pure imagination, possibly a misuse of imagination but it is still 
imagination. I wonder what would happen if we took the piece of machinery 
people wory with and got them to use it to imagine a future they would like to 
live in and the steps they would need to take to achieve it. Much better than 
using their imagination to work on why they can't have the future they desire.

Blessings on your session.

Rob
