An Excerpt from Just Before…The Memory & Sensory Enhancement Guide Book

Introduction

“We’ve become so busy, as life passes by all too rapidly.  Memories that should last for a lifetime, soon take on an almost insignificant quality.  Blurs of images that run together, sounds and feelings that once were pristine are numbing and distant.

We gain life experience, whether we are ready for it or not.  We learn to hold certain expectations or understandings for many of them.  The more distant our memory of any event, the easier it becomes to forget the anticipation of that moment that helped to shape us.  It is life’s game of ready-or-not.  We may not have understood what happened in the moment, yet they were moments of personal growth.   It is within these memories that you may more specifically bring joy and understanding back into your life.  It is also a way to tell your story as a whole.   This book is organized into three parts.  As young children we gain certain memories.  As older children we may have similar experiences, yet they seem different.  As adult children, these experiences have become either somehow different or automatic and experienced without much forethought.  Learning-patterns become different as we grow.  What may at first seem the same memory, may take on a different meaning or recognition as our perceptions shift and change.”

A New Beginning

“Circus barkers for centuries have shouted, “Ladies and Gentlemen, and Children of all Ages, the circus is about to begin!”  In paying attention to the attractions of the center ring of your very life, realize how simple it is to lose yourselves by forgetting what was important to you.  Then and now.  At all ages and stages, we hold the ability to learn and grow.  Each seemingly new experience can be new again.

Life is subjective, so is art, and so too with love.  It is with this understanding that I offer this work.  Use these pages as a personal meditation, an age regression in order to begin to recall the sights, the sounds, the tastes and smells that evoke certain emotions.  These feelings and memories within you may be powerful.  Notice how they may even stir up other emotions and memories.  Take the opportunity to explore them.  Some may be playful.  Others may be painful, yet they are in your past. “
