Today's theme is the mind. The power of the mind.
You will see that you are a perfect magician, able to create everything you want - in an instant.
What do you need for that?

First of all, you need to close your eyes. Otherwise it won't work. Please sit in a comfortable position, relaxed, upright, alert.

Now you need to engage your mind, your imagination, which is part of your mind.
Imagine a vast empty sky.

Now I encourage you to build a castle in the air, the most perfect castle you have ever seen; with thick walls, towers, windows, big gates, climbing roses .... everything. And in full colour
Your mind can do it.

We all do it constantly, with different things: imagining what comes to our minds.
the vision of a dog as soon as you hear me say the word - the image of it comes to your mind

Next your favorite car there it is, visible only to you
sun sparkling in a dew drop snow falling the face of your mother.....

All of these images come to us as soon as we think of it or hear of it.

We are so used to it that we don't even wonder how it is possible.

Where do these images come from? How do they get stored in our minds:
How can we call them simply by the power of thought?

A birch tree in the storm - rainbow a beautiful sunset -the face of your favorite actor
a finger pointing to the moon - you face before you were born?

Your inner ear? - Would your mind be able to silently create sound - a dog barking - the sound of your favorite car starting - leaves rustling in the wind s somebody knocking at the door - the sound of silence..
So it seems that your mind can create sound.
Can you hear sound in your dreams?

Has your mind the power to create taste, flavours?
Try - how chocolate - marmite - snow - burnt toast - a tear running down your cheek into your mouth.

How can the mind do that? Does it come from memory:?

Try to create in your mind the favour of something you have never tasted before? Does it work?
Bark of a tree or raw crocodile meat?

Now smell, aroma. Can your inner nose smell?
Fresh butter cake - fried fish - old leather - lemon peel - your favourite smell - a wet dog
can you actually re-create that aroma inside or is it more a kind of vague memory
somehow you know?

And when you hear the word - fresh strawberries what come first the image of the smell or do both come together.

Which of the senses is left? Ok, we have not done touchg yet, tactile sensations.
Do you remember how it feels when you touch: - an ice cube - the hot kettle- chewing gum - soft wool - the bark of a tree - baby skin - flowing water
rain running down your face - coming into a empty room

So the mind can create the memory of touch, even very subtle tactile sensations.

And now lets see whether your mind can create the whole orchestra of sense impressions - all six senses together.

Remember how you were coming into the kitchen this morning
try to re-create in your mind something you have seen there.
- some sounds you have heard there?
- what could you smell?
- what did you eat - do you remember the flavours?
- do you remember your fingers touching something - what ?
-can you remember what you were thinking at the table?
- was there a moment of silence?
