Imaginal Travel (Shifting Awareness)

Step by step

1. Identify the desired travel destination.
2. In your imagination, place yourself physically in that location.
3. Engage your senses: see the sights, feel the textures, hear the sounds.
4. Experience the emotions of being there, particularly joy.
5. Persist in falling asleep while maintaining this imaginal presence in the desired location.

To manifest travel or a change of location, imagine yourself physically present in the desired location. Engage your senses to make the experience vivid and real (e.g., feeling objects, seeing landmarks). Persist in falling asleep in this imagined location, experiencing the joy of 'being' there.

Soon after our marriage, my husband and I decided that our greatest joint desire was a year in Europe. This objective may seem reasonable to a lot of people, but to us—tied to a narrow sphere of limited finances—it seemed not only unreasonable but completely ridiculous. Europe might as well have been another planet. But I had heard your teaching, so I persisted in falling asleep in England! Why England necessarily, I cannot tell, except that I had seen a current motion picture featuring the area around Buckingham Palace and had promptly fallen in love with the scene. All I did in my imagination was to stand quietly outside the great iron gates and feel the cold metal bars gripped tightly in my hands as I viewed the Palace. For many, many nights I felt an intense joy at 'being' there and fell asleep in this happy state.

This technique demonstrates that by shifting one's center of imagining to a distant location and persisting in that state, the physical world will arrange itself to bring about that experience. The feeling of joy reinforces the reality of the imaginal act.
