Blind Compassion



Allow someone (one or two or more people) to place a blind fold on you and lead you on a walk. As you walk, meditate on compassion, the unconditional extending of your support without any need for a specific outcome. Let a feeling of unconditional nurturing be flowed through you and into your surroundings, even though you cannot what they are. You are to project your life force into the void. (If you want to take it a step further you can put earplugs in).  If it is too stressful for you to relax while being led blindfolded, to make it easier, walk on a side walk or surface that you can feel the change if you go off it. And of course, you can have multiple people leading you so you feel more secure.

Over the course of this walk, stop in various locations and attempt to imagine the place you are in, or rather, what you would like to be there. Try to find a fine line between what is realistically plausible, and what would be ideal. Attempt to feel, absorb as much information as you can and try to imagine the full potential of this place. Those leading you record your responses and consider possible ways to implement those ideas in those locations, or in others. Try to imagine, via augmented reality, what the person said they want to find there. Try to imagine how it could be possible with unlimited resources.

Another way is to pick a spot on a map, a place you have never visited. Imagine what you want to be there. Then actually visit that spot. Identify possible correlations or ways to implement your ideas in that location.
