Vision Walk: Simple Steps to the Wisdom of Your Heart

“The Vision Walk Meditation is simple but very powerful, and it can change your life. In it, you turn off your mind and enter into your heart, then use your inner guidance to find the answer to any question or problem.” — don Miguel Ruiz, bestselling author of The Four Agreements

Most of us have not found lasting happiness because we have been searching outside ourselves. Vision Walk teaches how to discover and explore the truth within—the source of lasting happiness, the authentic self.

When you look with your heart, you will always see the truth. And when you see the truth, you will naturally take the action that is aligned with your greatest happiness. It is just a matter of accessing and trusting your own inner wisdom—the part of you that knows the answer to any question you could ask.

Consider these questions for a moment: Who am I and why am I here? What’s my purpose in life? How can I improve my relationship? What is the next step in my life and work? If you have been seeking answers to these or other pressing life questions, a Vision Walk can guide you in minutes to finding the answers you need—often very profound and life-changing answers.

On the surface, the Vision Walk is about asking questions and getting answers, but that is only the beginning. If you allow yourself to be pulled into deeper water, it can take you to places beyond questions, beyond problems, beyond your wildest imaginings. All you need is the curiosity to try something new, the willingness to leave old habits behind, and an eagerness to explore what lies beyond the known.

While most of us live from socially conditioned beliefs and habits, the truth is that we are much more than we think we are. The Vision Walk is a doorway to that “much more,” that deeper consciousness. Beneath the masks we wear and the roles we play, our true self is shining like a bright sun. It is always there; it never goes out. It is an endless source of joy and creativity. In fact, it is life itself, and all it needs is a chink in our armor to shine through in all its radiant splendor.

During the Vision Walk, as you set aside your mind, you travel into your heart to ask a question of supreme importance. Minutes later, in the symbols of everyday things, you receive your answer, and in that moment everything changes. In that moment, you know your answer is true and that it came from the highest authority imaginable. Suddenly, you have embarked on a much larger and grander journey. For in that moment, you are in intimate touch with your very own self, the boundless, eternal ocean of consciousness that creates and sustains all life. In that moment, you have discovered the greatest treasure of all.

Rooted in both Native American and Toltec spiritual traditions, Brandt Morgan beautifully presents the book in phases, including important background information, how the Vision Walk process works, a meditation that will guide you through the process, and how to interpret your own journey. In later chapters, he offers wonderful stories and teachings that shed more light on how to find, experience, and live from your authentic self. In the book, he also includes Vision Walk questions you can ask, plus letters from Vision Walkers illustrating a wide range of personal experiences, as well as journal pages where you can record your own.

Hopefully you will do a Vision Walk yourself. When you do, you may find that you have temporarily left the world behind and immersed yourself in an unusual state of love, peace, joy, and wisdom. After doing so, you may want to visit more often, or even live there more consistently. And so you can.

So why not take a walk? Ask a question, and let the adventure begin!
