OK
Control examination
after session. Fasting.
Has been struggling
with the children’s
father (alcohol). Given
him an ultimatum. It’s
hard, he won’t stop just
because I...!
FOCUS: Drop my
inclination towards
control and the idea that
I can control everything
-> things are how they
ARE!
Concentrate on
breathing. Centering
-> your wish to let
go.
INLA reports a
vertical core... the
eagle on right
shoulder watching
that she does what is
best for her.

10. A Concorde races by. The eagle! Carried by the winds. I both see and I
AM the eagle. Forgotten by its surroundings. Very self-confident.
That’s’ what I need. A little sad…. on my way home to where I am
supposed to be. Tired, torn, of course. It was a long way. I bow my
head.
POST: Powerful music! (Exactly what you needed, I think) The images are
interpreted very appropriately and meaningful. The transformation from #4
to now comes to awareness. Surprising and meaningful symbolism in the
crocodile (symbol dictionary:): the consuming force, the necessity of
passing through death to life. The open jaw = swimming against the tide,
enabling a release from the limits of this world.
1. I am the eagle. I enjoy it, hovering in a slow tempo. A dark threatening
cloud. A swan with its head under the wing – doesn’t see much, doesn’t
need that. The cloud is not a threat. OK. It stops, it grows bigger.
2. A light bubble round the swan. Mild summer rain. An apple core is
legitimate. Playing with a catapult -> got you, ha ha (childish fun).
3. Sort-of-sad. In a bad way: Everyone must be happy and in harmony.
But the world is not like that. Reconciliation. Two rooms: 1) sunrise,
fertility, gold, orange, 2) empty, white. Need to learn to stay in room 2.
The eagle is there, I don’t want it to be there! Butterfly, walking softly,
a wing in each room. Wholeness. Difficult to understand. [Fanfare 1]…
images passing… [Fanfare 2] The power of nature. A tiny gnome = the
jester – moves from right to left.
4. He is unimpressive, but wise. In this disguise he can enter people’s
hearts. Your heart? I’m surprise. I am walking in the treadmill, but the
heart is pumping. I must surrender to the forces. The heart pumps,
orange. The gnome is watching: everything is as it should be. I accept,
don’t go against it. A grass meadow in the Alps. Fertile, a mild wind. I
am just watching!
POST: Makes a lot of sense. Not necessary to say much. The passing
images have also meaning (the disrupt cognitive thinking and enable
contact with more important impressions). MANDALA: The treadmill and
