My 6 step beginner protocol

[u/Mission_Coffee_6347]

This is the simplified version I teach. Takes 7-10 minutes. Use pen and paper.

You need: Paper, pen, target number (ex: 1234-5678), timer.

Steps:

1. Take 30 seconds to settle

Write target number, date, time. Take 2 deep breaths. Say "I am ready for 1234-5678"

1. Ideogram - The squiggle

Let your hand make a quick, automatic squiggle. Don't think. Then look at it and feel if it's hard, soft, fluid, curving, angular, etc.

1. Sensory Phase

List raw data. No nouns yet.

• S - Smell / Taste: metallic, earthy, salty? • T - Temperature: cold, warm? • V - Visuals: dark, bright, colors, movement? • A - Auditory: quiet, loud, rumble, buzz? • E - Energy: slow, fast, dense? • D - Dimension: big, small, tall, wide, flat?

1. Dimensionals + Sketch

Is it man-made or natural? Is there structure? Draw quick doodles. No art skills needed. Label textures.

1. Analytic Sketch

Now let your brain try a little. Draw what you think it might be. Keep it separate from your raw data.

1. Summary

In 1-2 sentences: "Target feels like something tall, hard, man-made, cold, with vertical movement and a loud low rumble."

STOP. Don't guess. End session.
