“Without the playing with fantasy no creative work has ever yet come to birth. The debt we owe to the play of imagination is incalculable." — Carl Jung
Now that you have your soul’s desire detailed story, you can illustrate it! Take some time to either make a collage or freehand the story of your desire.
When you search for the images to make your collage, search for those images that resemble the feelings, emotions, and perhaps the details that came from your desire story.
Making a collage or drawing it yourself is helpful because you have the ability to illustrate or find the images, or begin to recognize it as a starting point towards achieving your sankalpa.
The last sankalpa that I achieved was around the Kama desire, and the home I would live in. In my story I saw a home with a fire place and a dog, that was close to the lake. While searching for a place to live in, there was always something missing. I did find one that was close to the lake but it didn’t have a fire place and the owners didn’t accept dogs. It was so beautiful though. It had lots of roomy nooks, and was perfect in so many ways—the best place we had seen! I put in my application that same night and didn’t hear back for days, only to get the disappointing news that another couple was chosen.
We did however find a place with a fire place, close to the lake that was dog-friendly. We weren’t completely sold on the house itself but the warmth of the fire as well as getting a little pooch are all worth it—it’s teaching me so much about love!
Your illustration is there to bring colors to your story, and moving closer to it’s manifestation!
