PENTHOUSE OF IMAGINATION

Driving the mind to feel overwhelmed, anxiety and worry can crash the thoughts of creativity. Continuous flow of the same thoughts can burn the engine of the mind.

Start to declutter the mind and enter the penthouse of imagination. Where infinite possibilities awaits with a welcome mat. Turn the key to open the door to allow the Unknown to be the guide.

The aroma of creativity comes from the kitchen. It is not any normal kitchen. There are test tubes of ingredients on the marble counter. Pots are boiling on the stove for ideas to surface.

Anxiety and worry try to come through the mind. All of sudden the listening of Tibetan bells are ringing in the ear. The next room has only a golden mat to lie down. The incense of frankincense and myrrh perfume the room. Breathe in the potential of Now.

There is a huge screen in the living room. On the screen is the mind playing Pac Man to see how to eat the thoughts interfering with creative thinking.

Walk towards a door with a gold key awaits for the mind to open it. Turn the key. It will not open. Jingling the key. It will not open to the point where the key breaks into a thousand pieces.

The screen in the living room changes pictures to show there is a password to go through the room. The gold key would be too easy to just open the door. Thought processing starts to boil in the kitchen.

Searching for the password in every room but no luck. Walk back to the room with the thousand pieces of the gold key on the floor.

The mind picks up the thousand pieces. Lays it into an empty space connecting it like a puzzle. Once the puzzle was done, it formed a word.

The password is BELIEVE. The door opens. There are swirling orbs of infinite possibilities. The inner critics of the mind hammer the thoughts to not stay focused. The mind concentrates on the password.

All thoughts silence. The mind clears a space for the penthouse of imagination.
