(Dream Book members: get your next journaling kit, with alchemy meditations here)
This week’s journaling + alchemy kit gave me this: I make space for miracles.
I actually made mugs, notebooks + zipper pouches with this on them, and I use this mug every day.
This is my mantra.
And yet, it was really hard for me to feel this one, this week.
The start of last week felt like a slog with no miracles in sight. I felt like I didn’t want to MAKE SPACE for miracles, I didn’t want to be the one doing that work, I wanted the miracles to find me.
Which is valid!
AND it’s not usually how miracles work.
By the end of the week I realised two things:
- The way I am planning my weeks and setting goals isn’t working for me. AND I have an idea for what would work!!! It’s like, I noticed exactly what is missing for me (which is a tiny miracle!). So I am going to try that for this week and this feels so exciting to me.
- I’m not actually MAKING SPACE for what I want. I have this specific dream I am working on, but I have no container for supporting it.
I am still figuring out what that second one means.
But this is something that comes up from time to time in Dream Book - how are you making space for your dream in your life? There are a LOT of ways to do this and what I am feeling right now is that HAVING A CONTAINER for it feels important.
The work of MAKING SPACE is so varied.
Sometimes we are literally too busy for our dream to fit in our lives. Sometimes we have to give other things up in order to have it. Sometimes we just need to notice the ways it’s growing, like a houseplant that is growing, but crowded by other plants, maybe you just need to move it a little.
When I say I need a container for my dream to grow in - I have no idea what this means. Is it a literal container? Like a file box to keep things in? Is it a practice, a way of showing up for it every day and noticing?
It feels like a journaling process. That’s all I know.
So I am making a page for it in Dream Book - the page is a proxy for the container for supporting the growth of my dream. And I’ll just sit with it regularly and see what comes next.
This is a big part of creative dreaming. Being willing to sit with things that you can’t see or understand yet.
This is how we make space to operate from a new level of consciousness.
Which is what making space for miracles is all about.
