This is the mantra I got in this week’s Dream Book journaling + alchemy kit: I release the obstacles.
Use the meditation for the weekly mantras to dig in deeper to the mantra, or put your hands on your heart and take five deep slow breaths and repeat to yourself:
I release the obstacles.
Notice where this lands in your body, what thoughts and feelings get sparked.
There is no right or wrong way to react. But your actual thoughts and feelings can tell you something about what you need right now.
My reaction: it feels a little magic, like sparkles around me and these that I CAN do this, but then it feels annoying.
Then I become fascinated with now much OBSTACLE WORK has been coming up for me lately.
And then I'm like - but Andrea, you know that THIS IS THE WORK. I mean - you can't have a dream without obstacles, and so of course working with obstacles is a big part of how you move forward and you've been moving forward!
RELEASE and WORK THROUGH are related, sometimes they are the same thing - but sometimes not.
If you can just let a thing go, then by all means let it go! But it's not always that simple....
But what if it was?
I'm going to try holding this perspective.
If you want to work on this with me:
If I release the obstacles feels good and encouraging, hold it with you today. Look at problems, questions, stucks and obstacles through this lens and see what ideas it brings.
If it brings up some discomfort - that’s your stuff to work on today. To do that work, in the creative dream incubator coaching membership we’ve got the un-sticking station and the library of inner work practices. If you’re not sure what practice to use, you can email me, or post in our forum, let me know what’s going on and I will make some suggestions for tools you can use.
