Treasure Mapping Your Life Dreams
by W. Jane Robinson
Life treasure mapping is a fun, active step for connecting with
your life dreams. Your Life Treasure Map is symbolic of what you
desire and wish to manifest or create. Treasure mapping works well
for tapping into and fulfilling your dreams because it concretely
establishes a visual platform of your life’s desires. There
it is in black and white and in color, a hard copy of your dreams.
The pages stir excitement in your soul by representing your dreams
in full living color. It is the process of surveying, blueprinting,
and building your dream in a symbolic, artistic manner.
Remember cut & paste in art class? Similar to art class in elementary
school, life treasure mapping is fun, except it will have a powerful
impact on your path of creating your life dreams and visions. This
process involves your focus on several levels. Find photos, words,
and symbols that represent what you would like to create in your
life and paste them thematically in a scrap book of your choice.
You may want a title on your book or cover it with material and make
it a real treasure. A poster will also work well because you can
display it and see it every day. You may choose to design both a
scrap book and a poster.
My Life Treasure Map is divided into theme pages: an opening section,
life purpose, divine right relationship and family, and home environments
that I would like for my life. I have found words, phrases, and photos
exemplifying what I desire. I found many representations of my life
desires in magazines and books.
The left page of my opening section displays the lone word “hope.” I
discovered this word in a magazine resembling a child’s handwriting.
The right-hand page features a phrase cut out from another magazine
- it reads, “Well within your reach.”
The next section is dedicated to my life purpose. It is filled with
inspirational quotes and photos: Create the life you’ve always
wanted, A stunning novel of spiritual awakening by the best-selling
author, INSTANT MEMORY, You are greater than you think!, The Blessings
of Abundance, Woman Deserves The Best!, Healing from Within, Reaching
for the Skies, and a photo of a beautiful floral and lace dress.
I even found my last name printed in a magazine and pasted it several
times on the pages.
The next three pages represent my divine-right relationship and family
life. Examples from this section include: When my youngest foster
daughter announced her long-awaited wedding plans (Wow, how specific!);
a photo of a puppy eating ice cream from a silver spoon with the
caption, Careful, or next he’ll expect to be carried on walks
(again, I felt quite a connection to this photo); a sticker that
states, Something wonderful is about to happen; photos of pearls
and quotes of love.
The next three pages are filled with photos of and quotes about
my dream home and property. They include interior and exterior home
photos. I dream of living in the countryside, so there are pictures
of breathtaking landscapes of pastures, flowers, rolling hills, gardens
and a woman picking flowers in a meadow. Some of the notable quotes
read: A Place to Call Home, Quality Worth Coming Home To, Tending
to Your Dreams, A Countryside of Dreams, and Being Put Out to Pasture
Isn’t So Bad, As Long As You Own The Pasture. The next page
reflects my interest in sailing and the ocean, with photos of boats
and a few quotes. One in particular that stirs my soul is, Down harbour,
round the point, was the open sea. Here was the freedom I desire,
long sought-for, not yet known. Freedom to write, to walk, to wander,
freedom to climb hills, to pull a boat, to be alone. (From Enchanted
Cornwall by Daphne du Maurier)
I enjoyed creating my project, and I hope it will be as delightful
for you. Below are the materials you will need to begin tapping into
your creativity and mapping your desires. Either purchase a scrap
book or make one with a photo album you have at home. You also need
a glue stick, scissors, some of your favorite magazines and newspapers,
and photos of yourself, your feathered, furry, and non-furry children,
and whatever else you would like to include in your Life Treasure
Map. Locate and clip words, phrases, and photos of what you desire
for your life purpose: home, divine right relationship, family or
children — feathered, furry, and non-furry. Choose images that
depict healthy living, vacation, or retirement property and any specific
item such as a car, house, or other passion. Fashion them on the
page. Some may overlap others, and photos and words may point in
different directions. After you have completed some of the pages,
return to and look at these pages as often as you can. When looking
at a hard copy of your desires, you will feel a connection to your
dreams. This feeling, coupled with the thought and visualization
of already having what you want in your life, is helping you create
your life dreams.
