In the earlier two posts in this series, we discussed how to make a special construct in our mind as a private inner retreat. In this post we will go over some ideas for useful tools to add to the construct.

Now that you have chosen a location for your Inner Sanctum, it’s time to create your fortress. I use this term broadly. For example, my personal “fortress” is a bamboo one room shack attached to the side of a sheer mountain cliff. The mountain is covered in dense green vines and the building is just below the cloud line. A covered porch extends out along the other three sides with a half wall for safety except for a couple of openings where I can sit and dangle my feet. It’s perpetually raining, sometimes heavy, sometimes just a mist.

This is the first post in a series designed to provide a method for you to further take advantage of your mental capacity. This is not for everyone, nor is it the only way to achieve the goals listed below. It’s simply a way I have found to be rewarding and fun at the same time. The exercises detailed in this series should be repeated each day to increase their effect. As with any training, be it physical or mental, it will not be mastered immediately.

Goals: to gain full access to all memories, communicate with your subconscious, amplify natural healing, increase energy, enhance awareness, unlock your creativity and many other mental abilities

Part 1:
Creating the Mental Construct

Before you can begin any great work, you need a workshop. It should be designed to best accommodate the tasks being performed. A woodworker and a blacksmith need two very different workshops. Your work will be entirely mental, and likewise your workshop will be within your mind. This will take some planning.

First, you need to decide on the environment surrounding this place. It can be something you are familiar with or a place that makes you feel comfortable. It doesn’t have to be a place that can be found in the real world. Some ideas: a rainforest, an arid desert, a giant warehouse, a deep underground cave complex, an island, a fortress floating in the clouds, or someplace entirely alien like inside a nebula in deep space. The location is very important. Make sure you give it meaning. Ask yourself why it is where it is. What gives this location a connection to you?
