Sharing some notes from a dream I just found, written in early March this year.
"I had a vision of a pipe flowing with water, and then something became lodged and started to block the flow. Then other manifesting forms started to entangle themselves in it - clumping."
I understood that this is the ruminating mind.
Then came the insight that rumination and manifestation are the same energetically — but have different polarities!
If you want to manifest - or bring something new into your life - you need to let go of the old. ✨
The dream continued with a shorthand version of The Mystic's Prayer pathway through the body. It began with the movement through Solar, Navel and Heart, then showed a creative process:
Brow: Visioned IN — what do I want to bring into being?
Throat: Express it. Write it down!
Root: Plant the seeds. Give the vision form and firm it up!
Solar: The daily work of letting go — clearing and cleaning the Temple.
Navel: Creative energy begins to flow.
Heart: Bring it to life with Love, joy and excitement.
Throat → Crown → Brow: The return. Visioned OUT.
I offer and I have received so that I can offer again.
And here we are, back at Conscious Participation. 🤗
We can become aware of what is clumping in our minds, recognise the stories we're repeatedly feeding, and begin to work with them differently.
From a psychological perspective, this may involve recognising rumination, making space for difficult feelings and choosing actions that reflect what matters to us.
From the spiritual perspective offered in my dream, it is also a question of what we are planting, nourishing and ultimately offering to the world. Not simply what we wish to manifest in our individual lives, but what we contribute through the way we live.
And perhaps this is where Conscious Participation and Unconscious Participation begin to reveal themselves. We are participating either way, however what changes when we bring awareness and intention to that participation?
Spirit asks the questions and guides the path.
Psychology provides the tools.
🌏 A question for you: Is there an old story looping and continueally being fed by the energy of your mind (and heart)? And what would you love to begin nourishing instead?
Very exciting!
Would love your thoughts :)
