DEEP REMEMBERING - 2019, 2020, 2021 AND BEYOND

The following is the Deep Remembering process I shared in our second Quilt on November 10, 2021.

To begin, remember (with fondness!) your mind’s ability to time travel. Begin to notice what ‘timeline’ your mind is on right now…

  • Is the mind future tripping and dancing around with fears or fantasies about the future, near or far?

  • Or is the mind circling back to some memory or moment from the past?

  • Is the mind jumping around, from past to future or vice versa?

  • Is the mind stuck in a loop or paused on a moment that has passed or not yet arrived?

As you notice whatever time traveling your mind is doing, begin to cultivate an appreciation for this time traveling ability the mind has - because now you are going to use it to gain some important insights.

Now imagine you have a sweet little basket to collect any and all bits of wisdom and jump your time traveling mind to you - in your real life - in 2019. Let your mind pull up any moment from 2019 and see yourself and whatever was happening at that time. Pay special attention to your values at that time - what you cared about and what you didn’t care about. Collect all insights and revelations and put them in your basket.

*

Now use your mind that can time travel and jump to you in your real ilfe at some point (or maybe a few points throughout the year) in 2020. See and feel your real self in 2020 and all that was happening. Again, pay attention to any value shifts - some things becoming more important to you and some things becoming less so… As you move through this deep remembering of your real life in 2020, collect all bits of wisdom and put them in your basket.

*

Now jump to a time, a day in 2021, this time paying special attention to how far you’ve come - how rapidly you have evolved in a very short time. Stay tuned to your value shifts as well, but also let some appreciation in for having made it this far and all the changes you’ve been able to acclimate to. Collect all insights and drop them into your basket.

*

Now jump your mind to this exact, unique moment in your life right now. How do you perceive your 2019, 2020 and 2021 selves from where you stand today? Add all insights to your basket.
