2. Select or create two characters: One is your Heart's Desire and the other is your block.

3. Begin a written dialogue by letting your non-dominant hand express your Heart's Desire. Be as elaborate and detailed as you want.

4. Continue the dialogue by letting your dominant hand tell its story and why it blocks your desire. This exercise will help you clarify your true Heart's Desire.
