In my meditations I keep getting these images of a rough drawing of a person who is contorting their body to fit inside a box.
So I drew this image on a few different days in my Dream Book 2026 planner/dreamer.
I’m just sitting with this.
And noticing ways I’ve been contorting myself my whole life but did not notice until now. Which is a part of the magic of mid-life.
Even as a person who has been told “you are very self aware” from my therapist, there is still so much to learn…
Even as a person who saw what dominant culture was pushing me to be, and decided to take a different path, there’s still so much to learn…
Culture is always acting on us.
We ARE NOT AWARE of all the ways we are contorted.
We DO NOT SEE OR UNDERSTAND all the ways we dim our own light.
Even when we’ve been working on this for a very long time.
I think it’s good to keep this in mind.
This is why the Dreaming Weirder healing circle is so healing.
Giving yourself MORE permission to be weird is the same as giving yourself more permission to be YOU and being YOU is the most healing, magical and powerful thing you can be.
