All the details in our dreams are clues, all of them. Countless times in our lives, those details are simply part of the sub-conscious mind reflecting back to us what is going on in our brains. I appreciate those reflections for the sake of addressing my innermost darkness and resentment and incorrect beliefs, etc. Dreams are not always filled with subconscious stuff, though, so again, if you care about your own dreams, write down all of the details you can recall as soon as you wake up.
“Gratitude creates magnetism and creational openness” – Lee Harris
Yes, these are tumultuous times and that in itself is not fun, but it is essential and unavoidable and healthy for humanity that many of the long-held institutions of society and government take massive hits. We could prioritize our own health mentally, emotionally and physically, which involves choosing joy a great deal of the time, and that combination boosts the collective consciousness. Let’s achieve positive change by way of passion, unity, diligently choosing happiness, patience, creativity, compassion and respecting one another’s right to make their individual decisions. If you’ve read a lot of my stuff on this blog, I apologize for once again using this quote, but it applies very much. Shaman Durek once said, in an interview on the Almost 30 podcast, “These are the things we put our mind to at this time, not this masquerade ball of people finally figuring out what’s been hiding beneath the carpet! Well, get a vacuum, I say! Get a broom! What is this?”
At a job in 2016, I had a supervisor who was Puerto Rican who often visited the family he still had out there, and when I asked him about the financial trouble that the country was said to be dealing with, his reply was that the Puerto Rican people didn’t care, that they saw it as the government’s problem, and instead he preferred to talk about the fun they had as a people, and how much dance is a part of their culture.
Let’s start with this example: I want to try Mexican street corn because I think I’d like it, and it’d be safe if my first experience were at the hands of someone who was great with authentic Mexican food. I once had Panera “Mexican Street Corn soup”, which certainly doesn’t count, and I thought that if that went well, I could later get my hands on an authentic recipe and it try making street corn myself. These are just ideas, though, about which I’ve procrastinated for a while out of fear – a dislike of mayonnaise, of Miracle Whip, and a fear of failing at my own first attempt at the dish.
- Regina Meredith Discerning, brave, so intelligent, thoughtful about her articulation during interviews, which I believe she’s great at, by the way. Regina has a great deal of experience in journalism, and her show on the Gaia streaming network was an excellent resource for me. In addition to all the good info she provides, I admire how much she speaks up in the face of any suppressive pushback. That’s the big reason why I call her brave. She cares very much about energy work, self-awareness, and sharing truth and facts. I admire how committed she is to those things. We need journalists in the world with her type of ethics and integrity.
I had a dream today (July 19th) that helped me choose what to focus on.
In today's episode of Shannon's Mind...
"...just scrolling along their pages, looking for videos I watched back in October or November, I feel strong relief. It's an undeniable sensation. I watched a couple of them two days ago and thought, 'Yes, this is part of the path I'm meant to be on'."
May was a tumultuous, stressful month for me, and eventually, I will tell that story because it's full of juicy pieces of information for people who could relate, or get answers about things happening to one of their loved ones, and those who need my experience to be their wake-up call about boundaries. Today, though, I'm going to praise the sense of community* I get from some of the people in the wellness/ intuitive world. I so appreciate how much we benefit from collective consciousness, how these things allow us to empower ourselves and address a concern, and over time, there are people I come across who are in the wellness industry and labeling themselves as psychic because they authentically care about the highest good of themselves and others. They have a passion for empowerment. I'm going to focus on the fact that my 'aha' moment involved two women I respect very much whom I reached out to once I declared a readiness to have clarity and take more action in rectifying my situation.
