Tips & Tools

The Gift is one of the most globally useful Project Sanctuary patterns, and one of the first patterns that "crossed the border" between Sanctuary and the Hard and was found to be beautifully effective in both.

This is a pattern with a thousand and one uses, meaning really, that the uses and benefits of The Gift are probably infinite!

Fairy Tale Therapy is an extremely powerful way bring healing to systems which remain otherwise out of reach. But there is more to fairy tale therapy than that alone.

Putting someone in charge of *all their stories* - which includes heirloom stories, all forms of old wives tails, religious stories, what they see on TV and read in the newspaper, and also, their very own memories and imaginations as well as fairy tales - is probably THE single most powerful key to personal development we could give to a person.

If you ask yourself, "What do my dreams mean?" don't look for an online dream decoder, an A-Z of dreams or a dream symbol list that OTHER PEOPLE have assembled. Your dreams are your dreams, and you need to do your dream interpretation in context of who you are, what your life is like, and what the dream symbols mean FOR YOU.

Here are the 3 simple secrets to correct dream interpretation, how do do dream interpretation yourself so you find out the meanings of your dreams, and some examples about a naked dream, and a dream about a snake.

Beginners in Project Sanctuary always ask how to get deeper into trance to make the experiences more lucid, and how to stop bouncing out of the experience. So here are Silvia's Top Tips For Going Into Trance, Staying There, And Going Deeper Into Trance for better meditation and self hypnosis - Project Sanctuary style.

Q: I try to go into a habitat and look around, but I keep bouncing out of it at the slightest sound, what can I do to stay there?

Q: I find it really hard to keep my focus, I find myself flipping into other thoughts and then Sanctuary fades away. How can I improve my focus or concentration?

Q: I usually do really well - until something happens that scares me or freaks me out, and I fall right out of it, it's like waking up from a dream. What can I do?

Imagination, visualisation, visions - what are they? Should we be afraid of daydreaming in technicolor?

What can we do to get started with our imagination if we "can't visualise"?

And why is imagination important for "the real world"?

A man came to me and said he wanted to learn of Sanctuary.

"It sounds interesting," he said. "It's just imagination, right?"

I laughed. "Just? What do you think imagination is?"

Carna Zacharias-Miller writes: Tired of always playing alone in Sanctuary? Try this with a friend or client: Develop a Classic Game story together. It is a bonding experience and much fun!

This is actually a research project by Project Sanctuary masters Laura Moberg and Carna Zacharias-Miller. Intention: Trying out a Project Sanctuary Classic Game with an agreed upon contract, but without the established client/practitioner separation, meaning that we were developing a story together as we went along.

We would use basic Project Sanctuary and/or the Genius Symbols at own discretion and simply tap three times to signal over the phone when each individual was done relating their instalment of the story.

There are innumerable fascinating games one can play in Sanctuary.

This archaeology game came to me in response to watching Time Team on TV, where people spend three days digging at a time and never find anything of any note.

I got to musing what one might find in the way of interesting archaeological artefacts if one was to dig in Sanctuary and the following pattern and story is the outcome of that.

This is an interesting Project Sanctuary story on many different levels, created by PS Master Margreet Vink from Holland. Margreet was given a "The Gift" - a lemon tree in a pot by StarFields aka Dr Silvia Hartmann - at one time. But rather than just saying "Thank you, that's neat!" as we usually do with The Gifts, Margreet took the The Gift of the lemon tree into her sanctuary and planted it there.

And here's what happened next ...

Silvia writes: I was taking some time out from all that Events Psychology work and strolling in Sanctuary with my good friend, Lord Lucian, who is not a spirit guide but more of a fellow spirit, as well as providing excellent company on many occasions.

We were looking for a new game to play and after all I've been through for the past few months, something did occur to me - and it turned out to be rather special ...

It is true that Project Sanctuary is very *different* from all other approaches to contacting and working with the energy mind.

There are many structural differences, derived from the deep structure and the pre-suppositions of the cosmology that underlies Project Sanctuary; but at the top level one of the most striking difference to all existing theories on the human mind is that we do NOT make a distinction between waking thought, dream, fantasy, imagination, memory, false memory, vision, hallucination - in Project Sanctuary we apply just ONE SINGLE SET OF STRATEGIES to them all.

This has some fascinating repercussions ...

It came to pass that ideas were required to get something going that was languishing, and underperforming, and not doing well at all.All around the conference table sighed and shook their heads; many things had already been tried and they had all failed to produce profit and results, and now, everyone was depressed, and disheartened.Until one amongst them cried - "Let's get out the Genius Symbols! There MUST be things we haven't thought of yet - just one good idea will do! Let's not give up just yet, let's do it RIGHT NOW!"

"You know that it would be untrue ... you know that I would be a liar ... if I was to say to you ... girl we couldn't get MUCH HIGHER ..." Is the desire to "get high" actually a bad thing? Perhaps it's not? Perhaps the Creative Order itself wanted us to get - much, much higher? How do we do it? And how can we get high - and save money, sanity and happiness in the process? These and many other questions are good questions indeed. Read on ...

Project Sanctuary gives us a fabulous format to explore and to change internal representations, or our personal realities, that hide out of view behind labels such as "falling in love".

"Falling in love"?

What DOES that mean? What does that mean TO YOU?

If you allow yourself to really step into it and become aware of what that *is* for you, what is it? I said mine was stepping off the edge of reason and literally falling into some huge pitch black endless stone well type of hole in the ground, out of control, screaming and flailing, and then landing bone-crunchingly at the bottom, amidst a pile of dry sculls and the dusty last remnants of other fools who had fallen into the same damn hole over the centuries!

Spirit guides - and credit cards?!

It is a fact that a lot of holistic folk just can't seem to keep their finances under control, or even earn any decent amounts of money in the first place. It is fascinating to muse how it is that the more "spiritual" people seem to become, the less money they are earning - and vice versa.

This cropped up again during a recent prosperity workshop with holistic volunteers of a charity - find out what happened, laugh and learn ...

This Project Sanctuary story is an example how to use PS to resolve dreams.

By resolving dreams, we mean that a conclusion or breakthrough on the topic from a dream is being reached, and a sense that this is now been moved along and to the next level.

This is a particular fascinating dream about a flood wave, and drowning in the water.

For serious Project Sanctuary Players, here's something very cool indeed - four guided journeys to different planes that are difficult to reach sometimes - The Far Journeys.

Go to Shamanic Overworld, do Soul Pilots work, very highly abstract logic work with Crystal Cathedral or advanced vision streaming with the Game In Space & Time.

Starfields writes: Sometimes I feel a little bit guilty about the advantages Project Sanctuary holds for a person. Take Nanowrimo, for example - the National Novel Writing Month. It's not national, it's very international but the aim is the same: to write a novel of 50,000 words minimum in 30 days. Project Sanctuary is a form of advanced data streaming from the energy mind, for those do not know that yet, and if you have some experience with it, it can be used for a great many things, as you get to consciously set the parameters of what exactly it is you want your energy mind to do for you. In this case, the parameters were as follows:

The vampire myth, in its many different shapes and flavours, is a powerful and very exciting one, no matter which way you look at it.

Whether you are the timid virgin, quivering with a totally unknowable excitement as the beautiful immortal alien stranger descends upon you to give you a kiss of life like you've never had, or whether you prefer to be the vampire master, don the cloak of darkness yourself and look upon the tender quivering virgin from that particular vantage of delight, or even if ...

Playing PS games, running stories and exploring habitats is a version of creativity that is structurally exactly the same as though you were writing a book, a play, a symphony, a song, a poem or a short story.

Whatever it is going to be in the end, at this time, it isn't here yet.

You're looking at an empty piece of paper, a blank slate.

Using paranormal data streaming or chanelling techniques for every day purposes is a great way to practice paranormal abilities and get other benefits!

I've always been rather good at channelling things. 

That's a term you might use to describe "letting a stream of data from the energy mind enter your conscious awareness", or simply "streaming" for short. 

I've recently been working on a site related to "healing" and it was then I started to think about all the healing applications of Project Sanctuary, and what we should call PS style healing.

The closest match is really shamanic healing; that's the only thing which brings in the concept of travelling in other realities and interacting personally with the events and existences you find there. Here's an article I wrote about shamanic healing in the 21st century for an ezine recently, plus notes on The Sucking Doctor, and a Dream About Scissors.

SFX writes: I was thinking about wealth/power meditations this morning, and I must have asked slightly the wrong question in the context because what I got delivered there in an instant was WAY over the top for what I was working with.

However, it is immensely cool so by all means, have a go!
