daily practice

There is no way to do it wrong.

A theme that keeps coming up for me is: I AM NOT DOING IT WRONG.

I have this pattern that wants to find fault with what I have done. Or this feeling I am just wrong. Like I don't know what I am doing and somehow everyone else does.

This is a little monster voice that needs tending to in the Un-Sticking Station.

And it's a deep rooted kind of thing that needs regular attention. Like, sometimes we want to say "Oh, I worked on that already. I healed that." but that's not how it works, and our unwillingness to look at what's actually going on inside us can create space for the thing to grow quite a bit before we notice it's a problem that needs tending to.

Healing and growth are non-linear.

Whatever you think "non-linear" to mean - imagine it is LESS linear.

Like a lot of people use the example of a spiral - but a spiral is still a line. Yes it's not a STRAIGHT line because it curves, but it still moves in a predictable, linear fashion.

Healing is more like fireworks. You really don't know where the next thing will happen.

So if your process looks like a mess: good news! You're not doing it wrong.

There is no way to do it wrong and there is no way to do it right.

There is only "engaging" or "not engaging"

Keep engaging, with both your dreams and your healing.

When you are engaging, things keep happening and as long as things are happening there is possibility.

ENGAGING is a way of making space for the magic to find you.

Some tools that can help: The Creative Dream Incubator Oracle (this gives you a random page, so ask for the thing that is right for you, right now), Journaling Kits can be a simple way to keep engaging, come to the coaching calls or watch the replays, or if you want something that is more specific to where you're at - send me an email and I'll help you find something.

Glowing hope from my heart. This feels powerful. [Year of Hope Week 17]

Year of Hope

Every Monday in 2025 there will be a new journal prompt in the Year of Hope classroom in the Creative Dream Incubator Coaching Membership.

Get this week's journal prompt here.

I'd love to hear your thoughts! Leave them in the comments at the bottom of that page so we can discuss this as a group. Practicing hope in community is MAGIC.

From my Year of Hope journal: holding hope as a light in my chest. This feels powerful.

My Year of Hope journal was really quiet this week.

So for my photo, I flipped through older pages to find one I hadn't shared.

This is from the hope meditation, which still does feel REALLY POWERFUL to me, to intentionally hold hope in my body like that.

At first I was frustrated with myself for not keeping up with the Year of Hope this week.

Then I realized - the Year of Hope has ALREADY given me what I wanted from it. to feel more optimistic about my life, and be energized by that optimism. To feel more creatively ALIVE in my life, which I have been feeling.

And still... I want to keep this up.

So I will work on it this week. I deliberately am using a DAILY PLANNER for this project so that there is a page for every day waiting for me to fill. (Plus an extra page each week for extra notes)

BUT I am not being militant about needing to fill a page every day. Sometimes I get behind, then I will do a ton of journaling and catch up. So that's what I plan to do this week.

I am learning to really be where I am in a way that feels delicious [Weekly Dream Status Report]

On Fridays I do these "Dream Status Report" prompts

I use these same prompts every week to help me have more clarity, momentum and groundedness on my path.

This week I wrote this in my journaling and then wanted to draw it out on my iPad:

I am learning to be where I am in a way that feels delicious

I had SUCH a lovely week. I even checked off most of my to-dos!

This is after a few months of intense inner work and what felt like existential crisis on existential crisis about the state of the world.

So I am not saying - I'm just enjoying myself in the midst of the chaos and ignoring how this is impacting everyone because I, myself, still feel relatively safe.

It's more like I've really sat with it all and processed a lot and of course every day isn't a picnic but I am grounding myself so deep in the Inner Work and Dream Work that I do feel more stable in this unstable world.

I re-created the Un-Sticking Station to help us all go deeper into the Inner Work. I am now working on updating the Dream Lab to help us go deeper into the Dream Work.

And I have made A LOT of changes in the outer world just in terms of what my life looks like.

Partly being almost 51 and suddenly feeling new impacts of aging impacting me. Partly to stay in my zone of not-overwhelmed. Partly because the world is chaos.

I've slowed down in so many ways and had so much resistance to slowing down but now that I am here, accepting where I am, IT IS FUCKING DELICIOUS.

I am writing my dream status reports 2 weeks ahead of when they are posted now. So instead of doing it on Thursday so I can share Friday, I do it on Friday properly at the end of the week. And I can take all the time I want because if I don't get it scheduled today that's ok. This feels luxurious!

So, because I really wanted to, I stop mid-journaling to draw out that sentence I wrote and this feels like more delicious on top of delicious.

My dream right now is: really enjoy this day.

I think this is a dream born of all of the anxiety I've been feeling this year. Which is still a valid dream!

And really enjoying this does DOES encompass doing the things to move my goals forward with my work and creativity. But not letting productivity be the FOCUS... which off course makes productivity so much easier to achieve.

Our Co-Working/Co-Dreaming call is today.

Details are here. Replay will be there a few hours after we're done today.

I hope to see you there! If you can't make it you can always share some thoughts from your Dream Status Report in the forum.

What if I stop judging myself for being “too slow”

What if I stop judging myself for being "too slow"?

I painted out this page while really sinking into the question.

WHAT IF?

This is connected to the question: What if I have the right brain for this stage of my life? (Addressing the anxiety, brain fog + low capacity that I have now, compared to how I was in my early 40s)

Experimenting with the idea that I DO have the right brain for this stage of life has been amazing. AND it's caused me to slow everything WAAAAAYYYYYY down.

Which lead to this question popping into my mind: What if I stop judging my pace as slow?

I mean, if I have the right brain for this stage of my life, and I am moving at a pace that meets my current capacity, then... it can't be slow, right?

What happens when I really allow this is magical.

Because "slow" and "fast" generally describe only Outer Work.

And where I am now is going WAY DEEPER into Dream Work and Inner Work.

Outer Work takes a back seat in terms of how I prioritize my time.

BUT

When I do get to it, the Outer Work is SO MUCH simpler.

In some ways, I feel frustrated with my past self for not seeing this sooner.

But I think the ratio of how much attention we pay to Dream Work, Inner Work and Outer Work is always shifting. AND I think I was probably in the right ratio for my life + dreams at the time.

It's just that I tried to keep that ratio when my self, life + dreams all changed and that wasn't working.

So now I feel so grateful to be in the ratio that feels right to where I am now.

If you are curious about exploring your ratio of Dream Work, Inner Work and Outer Work and what would best serve you and your dreams now - there are a few Creative Dream Alchemy classes here. And we can talk about it in the forum!

I am blossoming

This image came to me in a meditation.

I am blossoming.

Not blooming.

Which feels cool, like FRUITING might be next?

I saw the image in my mind and went right to my desk to draw it out.

Related: my new dream is enjoying my life TODAY as deeply as I can

I had been struggling to really connect with any of my dreams and I sat with that... I felt like… enjoying my life TODAY as deeply as I can, can be the DREAM. Like the thing that feels dreamy and soul-aligned and swoon worthy. 

I keep re-arranging the plants in my bedroom. Looking for… what will absolutely fucking delight me to see when I open my eyes in the morning? 

I like having a dream as a thing to focus on that feeds my soul.

Not dreaming of anything feels really dull. And constantly dreaming bigger feels stupid.

This dream, right now, feels so rich.

And it feels like a dream that will lead to other dreams, but I’m in no hurry for that to happen.

We had a little conversation about this on a group call recently - how "enjoying my day" is SUCH a valid dream and how soothing that can feel.

I know it can feel like blossoming or blooming or anything good growing at all is impossible right now.

Feeling hopeless is 100% valid! (And if you're feeling it, get into the hopelessness alchemy meditation!)

AND

Blossoming, blooming and growing are still available to us.

A better future is still available to us.

But we have to show up for it. I think Dream Work is really vital right now. And whatever we have been doing - we need more.

By giving myself more space to meditate with the soul of my dream - I have improved my mental health in this chaotic time and I am enjoying my days a lot more. I am so grateful for this.

So many cans of so many worms

You have the dream.

Then you either: 

know what to do about AND are able to do it

or

are stuck in some way

But surprise!

Both of these are actually…

CANS OF WORMS!

It doesn’t matter what is happening on the surface. The real work happens when you open the cans of worms. This is what will bring the healing, growth and magic.

But it will NOT look like what you think it will.

So try to be open to the surprise.

And be ready for worms to pop out of the can as soon as you open it. Expect the unexpected.

And don’t let that stop you from opening it.

If you know what to do next: go do it! OR, tools for more support: Creative Genius Planning Sessions, Dream Plan Kit, Creating Creative Momentum, Focus Pocus and check out our group coaching calls of more support.

If you don't know what to do next: use the Un-Sticking Station

Glowing Hope out into my life + the future [Year of Hope Week 16]

Year of Hope

Every Monday in 2025 there will be a new journal prompt in the Year of Hope classroom in the Creative Dream Incubator Coaching Membership.

Get this week's journal prompt here.

I'd love to hear your thoughts! Leave them in the comments at the bottom of that page so we can discuss this as a group. Practicing hope in community is MAGIC.

I am GLOWING HOPE out into my life + the future.

This is from the hope alchemy meditation in the Year of Hope.

This kind of meditation, done consistently, DOES create changes.

WE NEED THOSE CHANGES RIGHT NOW.

We need to be grounded in hope, as in the opposite of despair.

One reason why this meditation feels so good and magical and helpful to me is because it feels ESSENTIAL.

These times are asking us to GROW.

It is SO easy to be filled with despair right now. This is an extremely valid response.

AND.

Learning to sit with the despair and bring light and healing to the places in us that need us help us connect with something deeper and truer and more powerful.

(The hopelessness alchemy meditation helps with this!)

Drawing this out in my Year of Hope journal felt AMAZING.

One of the dreams I am working on right now is: being the artist I know I am.

This started out being really focused on the inner process and not on the outer results.

I went through all of my old sketchbooks and found all the ones with un-used pages and just started filling them up. Not even a new sketchbook! Just wanting to fill pages and BE IN THE PROCESS with this.

Now, a few months in, it's even LESS about the outer results, lol.

But I did shift over to doing more drawing and painting in my Year of Hope and Dream Book journals. Still, just using old craft paints and not getting precious with any of it. Still - focusing on being in the experience of it.

The experience of painting this page helped me get more grounded in my experience in the meditation.

This feels like such a healing balm. Like exactly the healing balm I need now. Which really is what I wanted to get from the "BEING the artist I know I AM" dream. So I am counting this as a huge success!

And I want to do more of this for other meditations I use often - like Dream Lab, Un-Sticking Station, Dream Self.

Can you find the teeny tiniest step to start with? [Weekly Dream Status Report]

On Fridays I do these "Dream Status Report" prompts

I use these same printable journaling sheets every week to help me have more clarity, momentum and groundedness on my path.

I just want to note that: I have been experimenting with how I write and schedule these posts. At this point, I am writing well in advance of sharing here. This is just to give me the space in my schedule I need. So sometimes what I share here may seem "out of time" with things I am saying on calls or on other blog posts.

Reflecting on this last week feels WEIRD.

I am in a kind of "where I am" "what is time" "who am I" "what is life" kind of place.

I am meditating more, connecting with the soul of my dream, my dream self and the soul of the creative dream incubator more and I feel some kind of deepening happening and I love it and I don't understand it.

I am really focused on: how do I want to feel? And then... what helps me feel this way?

And from that I got some clarity about re-decorating the loft! I keep re-arranging furniture, which is a thing I love to do. And somehow after living here for 12 years I found a NEW way that I hadn't tried before.

But the big thing this week is.... MOVEMENT!

*** PLEASE remember our no unsolicited advice guideline in the membership. While I am going in circles here, I am not asking for advice. I am trusting myself to find my way.

I know I talk about it a lot. Movement is SO important for my mental health, energy and creativity. AND I've been so overwhelmed by so many things OF COURSE I don't always have the energy to go for walks.

And I don't have the energy to go to the gym. Like - the energy it takes to be around the people at the gym is a HUGE ICK. Right now I feel like this is something I never want to do again for the rest of my life.

AND I know I would feel so much better if I was lifting weights.

So I've just been sitting with that for a while. Not pushing myself, and not avoiding my thoughts and feelings about it. Just being with it and trusting I would find my way through.

Well - I set up a resistance band exercise space in my bedroom. I created a little routine of moves I found online that mimic how I was using weight machines. And then I set a tiny goal - 3 minutes.

Just try a few of these things. You can stop any time. Let's take the tiniest possible steps to getting into a weight training routine that works for you.

And it worked! I think I did 6 minutes and it totally lifted my mood and energy and I feel like I have something to build on.

Creative dreaming is a practice, not a destination.

Another page from my Year of Hope journal:

Hope is a practice, not a destination.

I think I was reminding myself - it's fine to not feel hopeful.

It's not about being somewhere, emotionally.

It's about practicing.

Creative dreaming is a practice, too.

It's not all about getting to a specific destination in your life - though there is the thrill and joy of creating more of what you want in your life.

It's mostly about showing up and practicing... listening to yourself, listening to your soul, sitting with your feelings and thoughts and ideas, trusting your creativity... really it's the process of becoming who you are and this is a life-long pursuit.

Which means: You're doing great.

Parts of it are a mess. Parts are confusing and you can't even identify WHAT your dream actually IS. Parts of it you will fall flat on your face every step you take.

Parts of it are so amazing it's like they glue all the broken parts of your heart back together.

But it's not meant to all be smooth. It's not meant to be easy. Dominant culture tells us we're failing if we're struggling. It's not true. You are healing and growing.

Stop trying to get PAST the obstacles. Go deeper INTO THEM.

The big obstacles I have been dealing with are anxiety, overwhelm and brain fog.

That is putting it all in the most simplistic terms, there is so much more I could say about being a sensitive empathic being in these times who is also getting divorced at midlife but this is really what it comes down to.

I can’t do all the things I want to do because my brain just doesn’t let me right now.

So that’s the big obstacle.

And I’ve been sitting with this obstacle in every way I can think of to sit with it. I’m caring for it and offering it love. I’m getting frustrated and trying to just obliterate it, pretend it’s not real. 

Resources: The Obstacle Is The Way Through | (short version of that is here) | The Un-Sticking Station

And then I got the idea… what if I…. RESPECT it?

What if the way my brain works right now is the perfect way for my brain to work, at this point in my life, to navigate my next steps?

This felt insane and impossible and like the perfect thing to try.

I journaled about it. I made lists of reasons why this could be right.

And then tried to just… assume that this is true.

And what shifted isn’t something I can really put into words.

My whole relationship with my obstacles and my dreams and my current cognitive function and mental health… just changed.

And that’s what led to me re-creating the Un-Sticking Station and next I want to add more new meditations in other parts of the membership.

I need so much more meditation. And I need it to be slower and deeper. 

And I think we all need this.

I’ve been trying to write this all out to explain and I can’t. It’s the kind of RADICAL perspective shift that actually changes everything.

And it can't come from forcing a new perspective, from choosing what we want our perspective to me and then trying to shoe-horn ourselves into it.

It comes from going deeper into the process of really listening to ourselves and our souls and our creativity. And detangling ourselves from all the ways dominant culture has shaped us.

I was 100% WRONG about everything that I thought I knew about my obstacle and how to face it.

We usually are.

This is why alchemy meditation and journaling are SO USEFUL because they help us explore and try to see things from new angles.

Again, resources: The Obstacle Is The Way Through | (short version of that is here) | The Un-Sticking Station

Do the work! There is so much magic waiting for you in it.

A strange trip to the Dream Lab

Dream Lab Explore The Miracle Of Your DreamThe Dream Lab is a "next level" practice after intention setting and visualizing. It's so good to set clear intention and visualize them happening... but that's not really a way of WORKING WITH your dream. That's just broadcasting it.

The Dream Lab alchemy meditation brings you into a place where you WORK WITH your dream, which helps you understand what you need to do to make this happen.... Which is almost never what you think you need to do.

So, when the Dream Lab meditation surprises you - that's good! Even though it can also feel confusing and disorienting.

My strange experience in the Dream Lab:

My dream didn’t really show up in the meditation. 

So I think about the specifics of my dream, and what my life will look like when I have it.

Then this kind of crabby voice says:

"That’s not your DREAM, that’s just what you deserve to have."

Oh! Because I have less than I deserve and I am dreaming of… what I do deserve? Like my dreams are just setting things right?

"Yeah, most people have less than they deserve of what they really deserve but then too much of all those other stuff that isn’t relevant. Everything is topsy turvy."

Yeah, everything is topsy turvy, that’s for sure.

But… if I don’t have what I deserve, then doesn’t it make sense to dream of it?

This voice pushes me down, gently, to lay down.

"I want you to understand what you are worth."

I feel it’s hand on my chest, almost like it is sending me this knowing of what I am worth.

I turn off the recording at this point. I want to see where this voice takes me.

I sit with it for a while but nothing else happens.It’s like this sense of worthiness is being poured into me, and some new energy deep in my belly awakens. Like a determination that I deserve this.

I didn’t go back to the end of the meditation, I wanted to do my best to hold onto the sensation for the rest of the day.

******

I just really want to stress that the path is not linear. BEING WITH and TENDING TO whatever comes up in the meditations IS the work. We don't know we are building the path until after it's done and we can look back and see it.

If you haven't done the Dream Lab in a while... make a plan to do it this week!

Are we getting hope backwards? [Year of Hope Week 15]

Year of Hope

Every Monday in 2025 there will be a new journal prompt in the Year of Hope classroom in the Creative Dream Incubator Coaching Membership.

Get this week's journal prompt here.

I'd love to hear your thoughts! Leave them in the comments at the bottom of that page so we can discuss this as a group. Practicing hope in community is MAGIC.

I wanted to share 2 pages from my Year of Hope Journal:

Hope feels like medicine... but underneath that is the fear that it's not enough. (Meaning: hope alone won't change anything so why bother?)

Hope is an inside job. It's easier to feel it when things are going well so we try to control our outer lives so we can feel hope but this is backwards.

Hope is a tricky thing to work with.

I chose YEAR OF HOPE because it felt urgent to PRACTICE hope.

And PRACTICING hope just stirs up so much.

This is how any healing or growth journey works.

I'm finding the places where I want to change my life so that it feels safe to hope. So that it feels justified to hope!

And I am sending soothing vibes to those places.

I am finding interesting new characters to bring into the new + improved Un-Sticking Station.

It feels like it is loosening things in me. Maybe I am loosening the bolts on some long-held un-helpful patterns.

I guess I DO have a lot of hope because I keep engaging.

The outer world is unstable so we need to MUCH DEEPER in Dream Work and Inner Work [Weekly Dream Status Report]

On Fridays I do these "Dream Status Report" prompts

I use these same prompts every week to help me have more clarity, momentum and groundedness on my path.

I just want to note that: I have been experimenting with how I write and schedule these posts. At this point, I am writing well in advance of sharing here. This is just to give me the space in my schedule I need. This is why I am here talking about being in the process of working on the new Un-Sticking Station, but you already got it last week.

This week I am back with a video from the "Weekly Checks Ins From Creative Dreaming in a Dystopia" series this week, sharing more about how I got the ideas to create a new Un-Sticking Station and my process of actually creating them.

The short version is: With the outer world being more unstable, our Inner Work and Dream Work needs to go A LOT DEEPER to create stability.

So I re-did the Un-Sticking Station, I have slowed down the meditations we go on group calls, and will keep watching and shifting as needed to support this change.

There is SO MUCH POSSIBILITY still here for us. But we need to go deeper to find it.

One example is that I write my posts way more in advance now - it doesn't really change what I share here, it just gives me more space to be deeper in my process. What I do is write whenever I feel inspired, and then on Monday morning I go out for coffee, do a little journaling to start my week, then go over my writing from last week, and images from my journals, and put them together into posts that I schedule for the following week. So I am working 1-2 weeks in advance.

..but then it went weird

After two days in a row of meeting the swan, I was expecting the swan when I did the soul of your business version of the Dream Lab.

(If you don't have a business you can meet with the soul of your dream.)

This time - nothing happened.

My dream didn’t show up. The soul of my business didn’t show up. I got to the part where it’s asking me to look at the relationships between things, and I had to just pause it.

I sat with it.

Finally realized - well there is this kind of cobblestone ground beneath me. I guess that is my dream… like a sturdy supportive platform.

But still, the soul of my business was nowhere. After two days of such reassuring meetings with it, this felt like a problem.

I went back into the meditation and felt relieved by the things I said there, about how these things can change from day to day and point us to what’s going on in our relationships with ourselves and our dreams and it doesn’t necessarily mean anything is wrong when the meditation doesn’t feel right.

I drew out my meditation in my journal.

Me standing on these cobblestones.. That’s when I realized… cobblestones are outside, I am not inside, like on a floor in a home.

Then I noticed how dark and lonely it felt.

And realised… I think there are tall walls around me. Blocking out the sun.

It’s disappointing that the soul of my business had shown up in such a magical and helpful way this week, and now this! The sun is blocked!!

But I had a lot of anxiety yesterday afternoon and this could be related. Am I separated from myself? From my ambition and work?

I sit here for a while, getting increasingly annoyed.

What should I do?

A part of me is wondering why my business hasn’t show up and another part of me is slowly accepting the idea that my business IS here, but I am blocked from it.

Like - these are MY walls.

Then it starts to feel important that I recognize that the walls exist.

And that feels like enough for today.

I’ll do this meditation again tomorrow and see where it goes.
