Wish you could remember your dreams?

Ever wondered what it would be like to lucid dream, or to finally understand that recurring dream or nightmare you had?

Want to get advice from your dreams, but don't know where to start?

Dreams are powerful guides to life; they hold the key to the infinite power of your Subconscious Mind.

In fact, in Shamanic spiritual traditions, dreams are regarded as the true reality, while this waking life is the real "dream."

Watch the above video to to get started remembering and interpreting your dreams!

"I can barely remember I had this dream, and I'm not sure what it means..."

I hear this a lot during Sacred Space Sessions here at The Dojo.

As naturally intuitive and creative people, we all have vivid dreams from time to time that we "just know" have some sort of spiritual meaning or message.

Some of us have even had dreams that we found out later on were premonitions.

And still more of us don't dream at all these days, although we used to as children.

So what are dreams exactly; what purpose do they serve?

Dreams are natural energywork, through communication with Source energy.

As natural energywork, dreams serve a twofold purpose: to balance and clear our subtle (mental, emotional, spiritual) energies, and to open the lines to higher communication (with our community, our higher selves, and with Source).

What basically happens each time you sleep is that your body performs her nightly energywork on you to open your energy up to balance and Source.

She does this by shifting your brainwaves from Gamma/Beta (tight, fast and sharp waves; you are in a state of being focused and attentive) all the way down to Theta/Delta (long, slow and smooth waves; you are in a state of being creative and restorative).

It's difficult to be open to receiving energy from Nature / Source -- such as the energies of guidance and healing -- when your body is emitting very tight, sharp waves.

Therefore sleep naturally relaxes and balances your energy waves to be more open and receptive.

Dreams, however, are the next level of this energywork, because they happen only when you are "seeing" this energetic balancing happening firsthand -- well, only part of you can "see" it, and that part is the Subconscious Mind.

Your Subconscious Mind speaks in the language of images, colors and feelings (intuitive and emotional), and comprises 90% of your actual Self (your consciousness, your energy, your essence).

Since your Subconscious Mind is capable of picking up on or detecting spiritual guidance and subtle energy coming from Source, she organizes it all into her language and then relays it to your Conscious Mind -- in the form of dreams.

So your dreams are actually windows into your soul and it's connection to Spirit.

Therefore, learning to remember, interact with and interpret your dreams can be quite enlightening.

Now, there are online dream dictionaries, like dreammoods.com for example, that offer interpretations; however we must remember that these interpretations are based on the writer's own personal perception and spiritual path, not our own.

Know this: Dreams speak the language of YOUR Spirit. Are you listening? #dreamwork #healing

That being said, it is best to record your dreams and ask your spirit guides, or spiritual mentors and intuitive advisers, what your dreams mean for YOU, instead of basing your interpretation solely on what is online or in a book.

There are some general dream tropes that are universal -- clothes represent how you present yourself to the world, cars represent drive and personal agency, fighting represents repressed anger, chasing represents unexpressed anxiety, and so on.

But all the interpretations in the world won't help you, if you can't remember your own dreams! 🙂

Learning to recall the images, events and details of your dreams is a skill that can be quite easily cultivated with regular practice.

You need to build momentum recalling your dreams over time, and as you do that, you're actually "working out the muscles" of your intuition as well! #bonus

If so, then this retreat is for you!

Join us at the Spirit Warrior Shamanic Healing Retreat on May 31st! Continue or begin your shamanic healing training and deepen your spiritual connection to Earth!

“Humans have been using shamanic methods for healing and problem-solving for many thousands of years across all inhabited continents and in a wide variety of cultures—not because these people were naive or ignorant, but because they worked. […]

Many become shamanic healers and work to heal individuals suffering from physical, emotional, and spiritual illnesses. Others use shamanic methods to heal in their communities, bringing the power of the helping spirits to issues such as violence, conflict, or environmental pollution. Some use shamanic methods in a more personal way, to help improve their own lives, to be more at peace, resolve troubled relationships or past suffering—to bring freedom, creativity, and joy into their lives.”

FREE Monthly Internet Meditation Livestream - TONIGHT at 7:00pm EST!
Meditate from the comfort of your own laptop, iPad or smartphone device.

Click the above video link to join me on Google Hangout On Air for a Group Guided Meditation and Reiki Share

Tonight's meditation will focus on letting go of emotions and stress by practicing the Tibetan Buddhist "Red Empty Body" meditation, which I personally learned from Tulku Lobsang.

This technique is very simple, yet effective mindfulness meditation that anyone can do - beginner or advanced! It's essential for empaths, lightworkers, healers, counselors and caregivers to know how to empty themselves of stress and emotion so you can feel calm from the inside, out and continue to help others without feeling drained or overburdened.

We will begin with a brief introduction, followed by setting intentions as a group for the meditation, then we will enter the guided meditation, and we will end with group discussion of our experiences.

Missed it? Don't worry! The replay will be available immediately after - just click play on the above video.

Make sure you share this - more people need to learn how to meditate!

Are You A Wounded Soldier of Love?

THIRST, AND THE MARTYR, was a 2011 poignant street performance by J.J. McCracken. In the performance statement (read here), McCracken explains: "The Martyr is at once a hoarder and a provider. (S)he may be viewed as opposing sides of the same character, at war with each other, or as two individuals at odds, refusing compromise and unable to work together. [...] Hope is challenged but not fully extinguished as the struggle drones on."

Do you struggle with a constant need to people-please?

Find yourself resenting the people you support or work for, day in and day out?

Or perhaps you are compelled by a pressing desire to feel needed, and be the hero, because that's what you're known for, and you feel it gives life meaning?

It's one thing to be kind, considerate, or even courageous for others. It becomes an Addiction, however, when you develop a "thirst" for others' approval.

The picture above spoke to me and reminded me of the beautiful but broken Giver in us all - blindfolded by Love and driven by the thirst, the Giver searches for more and more to Give, while carrying the ever-increasing weight of resentment like those gourds in the picture.

You can tell if you're addicted if you are making these two mistakes, over and over:

1. You just can't say no, and
2. You feel a rush as you say yes, but drained after you give (your time, money, attention), because secretly, you fell as if you are giving it all away...

Why do you feel drained? This is happening because you don't honor your boundaries.

The little voice inside always says "No, I can't" or "No, I don't wanna this time" or "I really just need to rest / finish what I was doing" and you've trained yourself to stop listening to it, to keep up appearances.

Know this: The right people will respect your boundaries, if you respect them first. #BK2YS

The first step in healing your martyrdom addiction is that you have to admit this to yourself first: You don't always have to save the day. It's OK to say "No" or "I can't this time."

If you learn to protect and honor your own energy cycles - knowing clearly when you can give, and when you can't and need rest or focus time - then you can give support and love in a sustainable, healthy way.
As a bonus, this builds a space in your heart to receive the same level of Love and care you give - first from yourself, and then from others.

In Love and Light,

Victoria.
