ONCE BEFORE I DIE…
 
 
The soul exists beyond time and space, beyond life and death of the body. For the soul, death is merely a doorway from one place to another, not something to fear and avoid. But while we are in a body we are loath to think about leaving it. This simple exercise is a way for you to bring the subject of death gently into your consciousness without raising fear, so that death becomes a valuable advisor. No one gets out of life alive. As the realization dawns that someday you too will die, you find a powerful motivation to live now. By focusing on what you want, you will feel truly alive.

This very simple exercise helps you quickly identify some things which matter to you but which you might never have previously given yourself permission to strive for.

Time for Exercise: five minutes

Properties Required: none


Steps:

 

Each partner simply completes this sentence at least once or any number of times: “Once before I die…”


Comments:   
 
It is not required as part of the exercise that you do anything with your statements of desire. But once a desire has been spoken out loud, it has been given life, and you might be surprised at how you begin to mobilize your resources to move toward full realization of your desire. You might also be astonished at how quickly the universe comes to your assistance.
