Today’s adventure sees me starting a new adventure series. The aim of this series is to discover more about the way I learn. I selected a magazine that seemed to hold very little appeal and wondered if I could get curious about any of its contents. Would a natural curiosity emerge? Would a line of enquiry reveal itself like a trail of breadcrumbs for me to follow?
Watch what happens when I open the pages of “All About Space” 🙂 .
It’s the last day of February which means that, in addition to today’s adventure, it’s time for a review of the month and my next guest adventurer!
For today’s adventure I try my hand at learning Mandarin. I watched this brilliant video and then gave myself 30 seconds to learn my chosen phrases. Can you guess what I’m saying? (I’ve put a translation below the video to help you out 🙂 )
Translation : Hello! How are you? I’m fine. Bye!
Here’s me reviewing this month of adventuring :
And here’s my fabulous guest adventurer for February, Kate Trafford. Watch what happened when she took herself along to a dance workshop …..
Today’s adventure involves me learning some basic Russian phrases! Can you work out what I’m saying? (I’ve provided a translation under the video just in case it’s not obvious 🙂 )
How’s things? My name is Jane. I’m having fun 🙂 . Bye!
I’ve been away with work over the last couple of days, so here is a consolidated post which includes the adventures from the 24th – 26th February 2014.
In Adventure 55 ~ Dream Diary Day 6 , I learn that sometimes you have to go to sleep in order to learn how to wake up and be fully present!
In Adventure 56 ~ Dream Diary Day 7 , I get to see how I process day-time events :
In Adventure 57 ~ The Most Expensive Perfume , I pluck up the courage to ask the assistant in Duty Free (I normally avoid the assistants like the plague and really don’t enjoy being “sold to”) whether I can try the most expensive perfume in the shop. Here’s what happened (and, for the record, it was a little too musky for me and I didn’t think it was worth the price!)
Today you can see how seriously my dream-makers take my work! I’ll be off the radar until Thursday and I’ll update you with all my adventures then 🙂 . Looks like I’m headed for a period of growth and transformation!
Today I hit the “I- can’t- remember- any- of- my- dreams” wall and discover a very interesting solution! (Oh – and the trainers I mention in the “key elements of the dream” section are grey : that’s important to know!)
If you want to know more about the process I am using to interpret my dreams, you can find everything you need here .
Today I’m starting a 7-day dream diary. Based on the Dreamind Triangle process in a book called Dreaming Realities , I’m going to interpret my own dreams, look for repeating patterns and (if I’m brave enough!) take some aligned action.
According to the authors, John Overdurf and Julie Silverthorn, using such a process will help to create alignment between my higher conscious mind (the part of me that pretty much knows everything), my unconscious mind and my conscious mind. This dream interpretation system is predicated on the following process : my higher conscious mind has a message for me ; it sends that message to me via my unconscious mind ; my unconscous mind encodes the message (it provides the stage, the content and the symbols of a dream) ; my conscious mind then tries to decode the message. The process I am about to follow over the next 7 days will help me to decode the messages that my higher conscious mind is sending to me. (Sounds cool, right?)
Here’s my diary entry for Day 1. I’ll be referring to the triangle diagram at the beginning of this post to help you to understand the process ~ just click on the image to enlarge it 🙂 . Please feel free to join in with this adventure and share your experiences by posting a comment!
Today I’m try my hand at the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT). I’m feeling a bit under the weather and a short dip into YouTube uncovered a brilliant wee video which explains how to do a chakra clearing (which may help to refresh me!)
Okay, so today’s adventure might not seem like such a big deal to most people : it is to me though! Having relied on my ex-husband to sort out my technological life in the past, I knew that the time would eventually come when I’d have to face the modern world on my own, head on.
Now is that time 🙂 . In the past week, I’ve adventured into PC World, had conversations with technical guys (I’m still certain that I didn’t understand a word but I seem to have got some kit that does what I want it to do) and, today, I bought myself a mouse.
The acquisition of technical “bits and bobs” isn’t new. Success with getting them to work would be new though (and probably a complete surprise 🙂 ). The question of the day is : can I get my new mouse to work?
