Hey! Before we start... iI you missed my email yesterday I want to let you know - THE NEW AND IMPROVED UN-STICKING STATION IS HERE! 

With the outer world feeling so unstable, we need to be more deeply rooted in the Inner Work and Dream Work. So I completely expanded the Un-Sticking Station meditations and am going to start working adding new meditation to the library of Inner Work and Dream Work practices.

 

OK -I feel like I have been “going wrong” but actually THERE IS NO WRONG.

We are either engaging with our dreams and healing and creativity and growth or we are not engaging.

All engaging is good! There is no wrong way to engage.

Sometimes we need to go in circles or do what feels like backwards movement because we are multi-dimensional and the growth our dreams need is also multi-dimensional so who’s to say what is forward and what is backward?

Having said all of that.

I had the sensation “Oh wow this is where I have been going wrong!”

My “coach self” would say - it’s not so much that you’ve been doing this WRONG, it’s more like you now have a clear message about what to do NEXT.

So what I need to do next is: be deeper in the Dream Work.

It’s like I’m in the ball in a pinball machine, pinging back and forth between Inner Work and Outer Work.

And Dream Work is the way to stop pinging.

And I feel like… but I AM doing Dream Work… but in another way…. I am not going as deep as I need to.

[Dominant culture tells us we need to work harder to get more results. Or work smarter. Creative Dreaming tells us we need to be more devoted, go deeper, have more love and enthusiasm for what we are doing and let that lead us.]

So suddenly I see the ways that I am avoiding the deeper Dream Work, really connecting to who I am growing into.

I feel like I am at so many crossroads all at once. I keep thinking back to myself in my late 30s, when I was at my most confident, ambitious and brave. And when 2020 and everything that came after was still so far away. For a while I wanted to go back to that.

Now I am starting to feel like… no there is something new for me.

And I have thought about how I want my life to be like going forward, but I am just now realizing that I have not thought about how I want ME to be. 

Fifty feels like such a weird and intense age.

Or maybe I am just in a weird and intense place and it has nothing to do with my age.

It makes sense that I have been staying a bit in the “shallow end” of Dream Work. Going deeper feels like diving into a BIG unknown.

And I feel ready for that now.
