I am doing a daily Dream Lab meditation but this morning as I was about to click onto that page on my phone...
(Membership members: I have the Dream Lab saved in my favourites so it's easy to find - at the bottom of every page on the website is a purple "favourite" button. If you click it, then it turns orange and becomes one of your favourites. Then you can go to "Classes + Faves" in the top menu on this site (which is a sticky menu so it's always there at the top) and the link will show up there. You can remove any of your favourites by clicking the orange favourite button at the botton of the page, which will turn it back to purple and remove it from your list)
... I suddenly wanted to the Dream Self meditation instead. So I did that one and as I listened to myself talk about how the Dream Self is a continuum it becomes clear that I want to meet the Dream Self who has figured out my next steps - she hasn't done them yet but she knows HOW to do them... I mean she could be wrong but she feels confident and she is ready to GO.
My dream self showed up, green and glittery and said: Girl! There is no reason to be an overwhelmed mess!
And this didn't land as criticism. It landed as deep soul guidance.
For me, there is a continuum from "overwhelmed mess" to "highly sensitive genius who takes such good care of herself that it's easy to access her genius".
The state of the world, stressful events in my life, difficulties with peri-menopause... a lot of things push me over to overwhelmed mess and I did not realize how much I was living inside a story about how this is who I am now.
It's so terrifying to watch your mind become anxious. To watch your capacity shrink. I do not judge myself for any of the ways I have responded.
And it didn't feel like this Dream Self judged me either. She was just saying a truth, that there is no reason for me to stay on that end of the scale.
And in the past... could be that there WAS reason to stay there. To BE there. You know?
But now I am here, today, in a place where there is not a reason to stay there.
Which doesn't feel like a "get your shit together!!" message.
It feels like a "Sweetheart you deserve to have whatever support you need" message.
It landed like a healing that I have been feeling all day.
This is the gift of really connecting to YOUR Dream Self for advice. It's not necessarily typical advice or "logical" but it's the thing you need most right now.
