I realised my block was in the form of being wrapped in chains or a mummy bandage, so unwrapped me very carefully. next I was surrounded by brick, so chipped away and stepped free. Out side the rubble I was back at school the walls, railings, school rooms and pupils all being barriers, I did not want to destroy the school its where you learn, except that it was at school where my limitations were founded. I have to knock it down I dont need those limitations, from here on in I find my own way. I say goodbye and a big demolition team seal it off to be demolished while I along with expupils watch it become rubble. while tearful I am relieved. Hi update, on how it went.

I hope all goes well for you and your writing. Keep your image in mind whenever you begin to feel the pressure. Katerina – Yes, of course I’ll wish you good luck.

My block is the Hoover Dam and I am standing right at the bottom. If I start writing, the dam will explode and all the water will will pour out and I'll get drowned - that's my fear, obviously. I'm safe in the dry at the bottom if I don't write. When I asked myself how could resolve this immediately I saw that 'I' was actually a heron who flew up to the top of the dam and above the sparkling water at the top. The heron could land on the water, and play on the surface, even dive for fish, but always had the ability to fly up and away at will. All the water was there for me in that part of my psyche, and also serving a great purpose in providing hydro-electric power. All I had to do was visit on a regular basis, the plant was working well without any intervention from me and all this amazing resource was already there ready and waiting for me to 'see' it. Just got to see if this insight will help me start writing!!! Wish me luck. Thank you for this. My block is the Hoover Dam and I am standing right at the bottom.
