The soul of my dream offered me a really interesting insight on Friday’s co-Dreaming session: the state of my home is a BAROMETER for how depleted I am.
My dream is saying that my whole sense of what it means to be depleted is off because I have lived my whole live in a culture that RELIES on EXTRACTION from people and the planet… my internal barometer is not very sensitive.
My dream says that when I get to a point of feeling depleted I’m actually already off the charts of depletion, objectively speaking. It said: use the state of your home as a barometer to help you re-set your internal barometer.
The thing about receiving insights from your dream is that they are FOR YOU and FOR NOW.
It is EXACTLY the thing you need to hear right now.
It’s not necessarily something that can make sense to other people.
It’s not even necessarily something that will make sense to you, a few weeks from now.
It’s exactly the thing you need to hear NOW that helps you with your next steps. And you need to use it now, because it can be irrelevant or even destructive a few weeks or a few years from now.
So I never share these little glimpses into my practice to offer insight about what you should do with your dream. I share them to remind that that the magic is real and the alchemy is POWERFUL.
The ALCHEMY will take exactly what’s happening in your life and all of your thoughts and feelings about it and use it to create the way through that leads to everything you want.
The way the YOUR ALCHEMY works will be unique to you because it is alchemizing all of YOUR thoughts, feelings and experiences into fuel for YOUR dreams.
The thing about using my home as a barometer means a LOT of different things to me. It’s permission to rest more often, yes, but more than that it’s permission to not judge myself for the places where I can’t keep up and it’s permission to validate my needs.. my REAL needs, not the needs I was socialized to think are acceptable.
My dream showed/reminded me of how I feel when my home is tidy (not spotless) and the laundry is done and some meals are prepped. How much more space for creativity and joy exists when I feel like I have my life “together”.
Not everyone feels this way! Some people would do well to let their homes be messier to give them more time for their art.
I am LOVING the new format for our Co-Dreaming sessions and I love seeing that we have more people coming to the lives and using the replays. I love that you’re in this with me!
If you haven’t tried it yet, the new format is a 40 minute meditation + journaling session for calling in the soul of your dream and reflecting on your week and looking at where you are in your process and RECEIVING WHAT YOU NEED RIGHT NOW.
We are rooting much deeper into creativity and soul.
When you look at how to get to where you want to be, it’s natural to focus on the outer path to try to figure out what to do… but the MAGIC and ALCHEMY can only happen if you let go of the outer and root deeper into creativity and soul. You have to take steps trusting the magic of your creativity and soul - steps that don’t seem logical or even appropriate if you are focusing solely on the outer path.
So - this weekend I am tidying and getting organized so I can start next week to see the state of my home as a barometer for how depleted I am, which of course is also a barometer for how FILLED UP I am.
It felt like my dream needed me to adjust where I tend to be between depleted and filled… because there is something coming that needs me to go into it with a full cup.
And I am excited to see what that might be.
