BRAINSTORM AN IDEA OF THE MIND


    Brainstorming  has  traditionally  been  done  verbally.  Here you will
    brainstorm an idea in your  inner  eye  (or  ear  if  it  is  something
    musical, or taste buds if it is something to cook or eat).


    PART 1

    Pick  a  concept  or  a problem or a challenge that intrigues you.  You
    might want to pick several, sleep on them, and then decide on one  that
    you like the best.


    PART 2

    Breathe  deeply and go to a place on your inner journey that's peaceful
    and lovely.  Then put the brainstorming subject on your  inner  screen,
    or in the minds eye.


    PART 3

    Tell  yourself you want to explore all the possibilities and then watch
    them come.  They may come in groups, followed by a period of quiet, and
    the come in groups again.  Do NOT judge what comes up  as  terrific  or
    awful or anything in-between.


    PART 4

    In  a  notebook  or  on  a sketch pad, quickly note down every image or
    idea.  Set a quanitity goal for a certain period of time,  say  two  or
    three  dozen in an hour.  Whatever comes up, however unimportant it may
    seem, note it down.


    PART 5

    At the end of the time period, look over what you've  done.   Note  how
    rich and diverse your imagination is.


    PART 6

    Feel  good  knowing  you have a wonderful imagination and that you have
    the power to make it even more so.
