Build yourself a decorative bird cage
A shrine of sorts
Use this as a focal point upon active meditation
Build your birdcage with the positive affirmations, positive things you wish to bring into your life or things you may wish to combat.
Some examples of what you may want to bring in:
Love
Joy
Luck
Dreams
Happiness
Peace
Strength
Some examples of what you may want to focus on allowing yourself freedom from:
Worry
Anxiety
Fears
Sadness
The idea is that the cage is that a cage.... which can often represent our minds, our lives even, as I know sometimes, we begin to feel condensed, truly, like a can of Campbells Soup.
With this cage, you will decorate according to what you are bringing in, and what you are letting go of.
What you need is to decide your projects purpose for you-
Let us say you may want to work on Happiness and letting go of Worry:
Google or refer to references at home to find the gems, flowers, herbs, cards, angels, birds, feathers, other animals, anything that will alternatively help you to gain focus in those areas.You will put things of interest to you out of these categories, you will also be looking for these items to be helping in those realms of your life you want to build your Cage of Expansion on.
What Gems help with worry? What flowers help with happiness? etc... get the drift :)
gather these goodies and a fake bird (from any local craft store)
your cage can be anything from a small decorative (craft store) or from a flea market~
Make your Cage as beautiful as possible, inside and out, and please never shut the door, tie it open, let your fake bird come in and out as they please... as you may notice... they probably will never leave... as you made it so beautiful :)
