Sunflower seeds get a B+ from Zorro. He was happy to see Curt who has been having some back pain the last few days. We’re all falling apart over here! Thanks for the prayers and good wishes! Zorro has another Reiki session tomorrow.

Will I see you next month? Please like and share if this resonates with you.

Can you allow yourself to be a “hollow bone” and trust the information that is always available to you from Spirit? What is Spirit waiting to make manifest through a co-creative partnership with you?

If these questions resonate and you’re itching to find out the answers for YOU, consider joining me September 16-18, 2022, at the Co-Creative Partnership with Spirit weekend retreat in central Massachusetts.

I have found that oftentimes people hesitate to take the next step…for so many reasons. If that is you, I want to say this: If you really want to work on establishing co-creative partnership with Spirit, the Universe, the Great Mystery, Your Higher Self -- whatever you want to call it -- remember:

You don’t have to be perfect to be effective.

You don’t have to wait until you’re completely healed. What does that even mean?

You don’t have to wait until you’ve read every book on shamanism or taken every class on the chakras or have another certificate to hang on your wall!

You don’t.

You just need to be willing.

You need to trust.

You need to show up in a way that is respectful and that allows this partnership to work through you.

So much of this process and this connection work through sacred intention. Trust me, it’s not done through some perfection you feel you need to achieve before you can move forward in fullness of strength in the ways you are meant to serve.

I've been embracing this process and this path for nearly three decades. It’s so incredibly freeing when you can get into -- and even reside in -- that space of co-creation!

Interested in shamanic journeying? I've been leading in-person and virtual journeying groups for over 20 years, and I just created "10 Tips for More Successful Shamanic Journeys," available for download here as my gift to you.

Tip 1: Trust. At the start of every journeying circle I lead, I create sacred space through intention and calling in guides from the four directions. Then, I remind participants to trust that the experience they have in the journey is exactly the experience they are meant to have. You meet a guide and get a teaching or healing that astounds you. Perfect. You feel like you didn’t go anywhere and everyone else did. Also perfect – what’s the teaching? You think you fell asleep. Still perfect. What’s the metaphor? What was your intention? How does it all connect?

Note: You don’t need to believe in NDEs, souls, or dialogues without words to appreciate this post.

One of the books that was incredibly influential for me – going on over 20 years ago now – was by Dawna Markova, psychotherapist, teacher, researcher, and CEO Emeritus of Professional Thinking Partners. The book was called I Will Not Die an Unlived Life: Reclaiming Purpose and Passion. In Chapter 12, Dawna writes about a near death experience (NDE) she had. She describes being in the emergency room where doctors and nurses are tending to her and she starts to die. She feels herself, in her own words, “falling upward” as she leaves her body. She could still hear the doctors and nurses talking about her physical body lying there on the table. She recounts that while she was out of her physical body, she had what she describes as a conversation – a dialogue without words – between her soul and the life that she had lived. The first thing that she was asked was,

Have you had enough joy?

I am joyful knowing this was the first question, because I’ve often thought that joy is so underrated when you’re alive, yet so important. While I’m glad it gets more play when you’re … dead, but it really should get equal air time among the living.

So I ask you, how can we show up to really experience, from a place of joy, the moments that we’re given? And also, have you had enough joy?

Dawna was asked another four questions in this dialogue without words:
What’s unfinished for you to give?
What’s unfinished for you to heal?
What’s unfinished for you to learn?
What’s unfinished for you to experience?

Deep. If you’re ever at a point where you’re wondering what to do with the rest of your life – and if the Great Resignation teaches us anything, that point is now for thousands and thousands among us – well, answer these four questions! What’s unfinished for me to give? To heal? To learn? To experience?

Then top it off with, how do I show up to the moments in my life from a place of joy?

So, that’s what was going on for Dawna while she was – er – dead. She also shared that she actually fell back into her body on her way to the morgue. At least she didn’t wake up in a drawer!

I offer the above for your consideration, to take or leave as you see fit. If you want to go deeper, listen to the Dreamtime: Willingness to Become Your Vision episode here: https://dreamvisions7radio.com/dreamtime-willingness-to-become-your-vision/

Then, DM me if you’re one of these people filled with an urgency to begin anew, and you’d like to explore how we can work together. Who knows where it might lead us...
