Default Kathy's Mental Imagery

This is an imaginery journey down a road. Take in the sights, sounds and colours, just like a video camera recording all that lies surrounding you. Survey the scene, noticing whatis far off in the distance, the background surrounds, the weather, the season and a total image of what you view. Feel the ground beneath your feet. Try to visualize it as a picture on a canvas, but with movement, sound, colour and emotion. You are the surveyor on this journey. Draw your journey on paper if you desire, as it often shows clearer results, then attach your drawing via snapshot or scan to your post.

Q1. What colour is the road? A deep reddish brown.
Q2. What texture is the road? The road is cobblestones, making it a bit bumpy in spots, but mostly smooth and easy to walk on.
Q3. How solid is the road? Slightly worn but very solid.

You continue walking and come to a river that must be crossed. There before you is the river; the size and depth are up to you. You cannot go around it but must imagine a way to cross it. Whatever you need to cross the river is already within your mind, just imagine seeing yourself do it.

Q4. How do you cross the river? I wade across it, as the water is quite shallow.
Q5. What does the water look like? Very clean and clear.
Q6. How fast is the water current? Slow to medium. Slow enough to cross it with ease, but not so slow as to be stagnant.
Q7. Is there anything in the water? If so, what? The bottom is soft sand, and there are a few good sized rocks scattered throughout.

You have crossed the river and continue walking. You come to a house. Take a good look at the house. Notice the impression it makes on you.

Q8. What colour is the house? A very pretty manila green.
Q9. What condition is the house in? Fine condition, well kept, and fairly modern, though not brand new.
Q10. Does anyone live in the house? If so, who? I live there, along with my husband and children.

We continue forward in our minds journey and come to an open field. A cup is on the ground, and we stop to examine it. The cup can be of any size, shape, colour and description. Focus on it's look, condition and contents.

Q11. What colour is the cup? The cup is shiny porcelain with intricate designs, a vibrant pretty yellow on the outside and a creamy white inside.
Q12. What condition is the cup in? It is well used but in very good condition still.
Q13. Is there anything in the cup? If so, what? There is nothing in the cup, though it is a bit dusty.

You continue walking down the road and come to something blocking your path. It stops you in your tracks and prevents you from going forward. This is an obstacle.

Q14. What is the obstacle, and please describe it in detail? A large boulder covered in moss and lichens.
Q15. What do you see beyond the obstacle? A beautiful grassy meadow, cliffs, a beach and the ocean.
