Give your wishes a voice.
That was the advice I gave my three year old daughter this weekend.
Shout them from the rooftops.
How often have you been encouraged to keep your wishes, dreams and desires unspoken?
While we were at the fairy shop making wishes, I overheard another parent say,
“Don’t tell anyone what the wish is or it won’t come true.”
As Rumi and I were walking away, I asked her what she wished for.
She said, “I can’t tell you, then it won’t come true.”
And in that moment, I thought about how many times I’d heard those exact words in my life.
Why?
Where did that come from?
Conditioning? Programming? Folklore? Old wives tale?
The breathworker in me, the one who teaches people to speak their desires out loud, knows intuitively that voicing our dreams doesn’t diminish their power.
It amplifies them.
It activates the subconscious.
It signals to the universe that we are ready to receive.
So I said to her,
“Darling, I believe the opposite.
Speak them into existence so the universe can hear you.
Don’t hide them, shout them from the rooftops, tell the stars, the moon and the world what your heart truly desires.
That’s how it finds its way to you.”
She started repeating her wish over and over again,
and it was the best sound. 🌸
It reminded me how often we’re taught to quiet our dreams,
to quietly get on with achieving them like a good girl,
so if we don’t, no one knows, or everyone can be nicely surprised.
For me, it feels so counter intuitive.
Instead, I want my daughter to grow in a world where she acts as if her wish has already come true,
to alchemise it, to speak it out loud over and over again.
That’s how we reprogram the old stories.
That’s how we model what’s possible to our kids 💫
Also how epic is the 🧚♀️🌸🌟✨🪄
