A New Way To Alter Consciousness- Stare At The Wall

I recently came across a new tool for my toolbox of ways to alter consciousness, and I will tell you about it. I give credit for this to my good friend Martin, and in case you are reading, Martin, let me know if I get it right.

It is well-known that meditation is one of the most effective ways to alter consciousness. This particular meditation begins with walking near the water or in nature and feeling your oneness as you walk with a leaf, a pine cone, a bug, a rock, etc. etc. It is designed to enhance creativity by achieving a state of 'universal oneness.'

If you come across a soda can or half eaten apple, just feel yourself at one with that. Avoid labels such as that's good, that's bad. That's clean, that's dirty. Just let those thoughts slip away and be at one with all of it.

After that you want to sit in a quiet place, preferably near the water. You want to feel every sensation, the sounds, the smells and the sights. Be in the moment and in the now and practice mindfulness. Let your peace come and reside in you.

Then keeping this same feeling, walk back to a place where you can stare at the wall. It may be your room, the outside wall of your house, a building wall etc. At this point you should have your sketch pad, your recorder, or your notebook handy. Now keeping your newfound oneness, stare at the wall. Do no try to do it or be it, or figure it out. Be at one with the wall and allow yourself to be a channel for the universe.

As you sit you will begin to find that something curious is happening. You will feel inspiration that seems to come from outside of you. That is the universe and you are now a channel for its energy. You should stay with this feeling, and do not try to 'work at' anything. If you begin to work hard, immediately go back to staring at the wall and finding your peace.

I can tell you that this meditation is one of my powerful ways to alter consciousness in my work environment. If it does for you what it did for me, it will bring a new depth to your work, and a new sense of joy in the creation.

I hope you will too.
