The Power You Unleash When You Dream

The Power You Unleash When You Dream

Unleash Your Dreams by Genevieve Gerard

As the calendar of time shifts from one year to the next the magic of creation is released into the world.

It is a magic you can use to empower your life.

It is by daring to dream that you unleash this magic.

It is by daring to dream that you can explore new possibilities and transform your life.

Your life has a purpose.  There is a reason for your life, a reason held deep within the mystery of time itself.

Every experience you have had in your life, positive and negative has brought you to this moment in the annals of time.  Every success you have had or mistake from which you have learned prepared you for NOW.

When you pause and think about where you are in this moment in your life, something special happens.  Your understanding can be freed as you realize that no matter what mistakes you may have made in life, they are all in the past.  And in some miraculous way, they have prepared you for exactly what is being created to come into manifestation right now.

As the days of time unfold from last year to this new year it is time to consider the life you have dreamed of.  Your dreams, your desires are the treasure map of your life’s adventure.  This is especially true, and especially powerful when you take this time as an opportunity to align your life with your Soul purpose.

Your Soul is the part of your spiritual anatomy that has vast power.  And, it is your Soul that engages you in your co-creator role with God.  Being a spark of Divine Light, both grants you certain privileges and calls you to certain responsibilities in your life.

Fuel Your Dreams

Even your Angels, especially your Guardian Angel are aligned with your Soul Purpose, your life purpose.

Amazingly your dreams provide the revelation of guidance that is unlocked and unleashed when you dare to dream.  So, take some time during this transition from one year to the next to consider what you want, what you need and let your creative mind fuel your dreams through your imagination.

Dreaming is the perfect tool to ignite your creativity.

Dreaming is a creative exercise when aligned with your Soul and aligned with Divine Will in your co-creator role as a “child of God.”
                     -Genevieve Gerard

Dreaming activates the universal laws of creation.  It can be powerful beyond your understanding.

Empower Your Life With Your Dreams

As I write these words to you, I am aware that in order for you to empower your life with your dreams there may be some things you need to address to unlock the full potential of using your dreams to create your life.

You may have been criticized in your life for being a “dreamer.”  If so, I ask you to firmly, with clear intention put that criticism in your past.

I invite you to step into the creative role of being a dreamer, recognizing that your dreams can be the blueprint for creating your future.

The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.
                      – Eleanor Roosevelt

Active Dreaming

I invite you to engage in an exercise and technique I call Active Dreaming.

I ask you to practice this technique of active dreaming for 5 minutes a day, for the next 21 days.  Before you engage in your practice of Active Dreaming I ask that you prepare yourself with these four simple steps:

  1. Go to a place you will not be disturbed for 5 minutes.
  2. Turn off any background noise that you can so your distractions are minimal.
  3. Place your spiritual journal with a writing implement in easy reach.
  4. As you begin your Active Dreaming Exercise get comfortable, sitting in a chair or couch with your spine aligned, not lying down, with your feet on the floor.

 

Active Dreaming Exercise

 

  1. Take a very deep breath and as you draw in the breath draw in vitality and creative life energy. And as you exhale release any stress you may have been holding in your body.

    2.  

  2. Then taking in another very deep and relaxing breath let your body surrender to the support of your chair, realizing you are being supported by the chair, which is supported by the floor, which is supported by the earth.

     

    This support is available to you through the Law of Gravity and is part of the support you receive as a child of God.  It is one of many natural laws that are available to help you manifest your dreams.

    3.  

  3. For the next few moments, while you actively dream notice that each breath that you take, deep or shallow teaches you and confirms for you that life is providing exactly the amount of air that you need, in exactly the proportion in which you need it for energy and vitality.

     

    Trust that what you need is available for you to create and manifest your life’s purpose, your Soul purpose. Ponder on this.

    4.  

  4. Now, as you pause and reflect, consider your life. Consider your dreams and desires.  Let your mind and your imagination run free for at least five minutes. 

     

    What would change in your life if you were living the life of your dreams? 

     

    How would that feel? 

     

    Let your mind fill in as many details as you can while you engage in this active dreaming exercise.  There are no limits to what is possible in your dream. 

     

    Let your mind be free.  Examine and explore ideas you have never considered before.  Suspend all your judgments. 

     

    This is a time for creative exploration.  There are no limitations with creative exploration, there are only new possibilities and opportunities.

    5.  

  5. Then, release your dreams with no attachment to them. Take another deep and relaxing breath and release with the exhale any fears that may have arisen during your active dreaming time.

    6.  

  6. Now, take another few moments to record in your spiritual journal any ideas you may have had that you do not wish to forget.

    7.  

  7. Before you return to your normal day and normal activities consciously align your will with Divine Will and call upon you Angels to assist you in manifesting your dreams as long as they are in alignment with Divine Will and for the highest good of all.

 

You may wish to expand the time allocated to 10 or 15 minutes a day to allow adequate time for your spiritual journal entry.

Then go about your day freely.

Keep up this Active Dreaming exercise as a part of your life for the next 21 days.  You may notice how you are able to see new possibilities and new opportunities more often.  You may notice you have more hope in your heart.  You might observe you have less negative self-talk or are naturally releasing some of your limiting beliefs.

 

Namaste,

   Genevieve

mysteries of dreaming

Sleep is an essential part of our human life, our human experience. We know we spend approximately one-third of our lives in sleep, and that to do so is essential to our physical, emotional and mental health. And we know that when we get a good night’s sleep we feel better; again, physically, emotionally and mentally.

Since the advent of tools that measure the subtle activity of the brain, we have learned that sleep is an active and fertile time for our consciousness. Dreams are an essential part of the sleep experience. Measurements of time in dreams through the tracking of REM (rapid eye movement) cycles helps scientists and doctors track and examine when in the sleep cycle we dream. And, psychologists will attest to the importance of dreams in the process of communicating to the conscious mind, often in a symbolic language in subtle ways that we sometimes can understand and sometimes find confusing. Indeed there are psychologists who devote the main focus of their practice to interpreting dreams.

Even among those therapists who do not focus their practice on dreams, most psychotherapists would agree that the process of dreaming is important and through the experience of dreams people are put in touch with a part of their consciousness that Carl Jung called supra-personal consciousness. Realizing this, understanding this fact of the dreaming experience, leads us to examine both sleep and dreams from the perspective of consciousness.

Here, in the realm of consciousness, no machines, no matter how scientific or advanced can answer our inquiries. How we dream, and why we dream what we dream, are mysteries. At times our dreams may be a jumbled reflection of a book we were reading before sleep, or a movie or television program we saw, or a conversation we had in the course of our day. I even recall dreams of solitaire- layouts on a night when obviously too much of my day had been spent playing computer games. At other times our dreams present deep insights, revealing greater understanding and wisdom about our life.

Dreams and their symbols remain in the realm of our consciousness, and therefore to my way of thinking, are spiritual, by which I mean pertaining to the spirit or soul contact. – Genevieve Gerard

Old biblical stories resound with prophets or characters being directed in dreams. Recall the story of Jacob who dreamed of an angel telling him to return from where he was staying, to his family’s land. (Genesis 31: 13) “ Likewise Pilate’s’ wife was reported to have been warned in a dream that he should have nothing to do with Jesus, “that just man.” (Matthew 27: 19) Recall that the Wise Men who traveled to the manger, following a star, were told in a dream to return home by a different route when leaving Jerusalem, after they had found the baby Jesus. (Matthew 2: 12)

So throughout over 4,000 years of spiritual stories, the importance of dreams have been considered and recorded. Dreams have been a part of the human experience and our human expression both spiritually and psychologically, as reflected in the words of Shakespeare as Hamlet records in his famous soliloquy of “To be or not to be,” in which he extols the blessings of sleep but fears dreams when he notes “to dream, ah there’s the rub.” So the importance of our dreams has long been known to humanity.

Unfortunately our science, our pursuit of medicine and instant solutions for life problems, have resulted in a in a disruption of our dreams. Those who use sleeping medication on a regular basis are said to dream less. Sleeping medication represses the REM cycle. Those who become habitual users of these medications are removed from both the blessing and the curse of this natural and essential human experience. This is the most unfortunate result of using medication to sleep.

In the years since I first released my “Sleep in Heavenly Peace” visualization, the only people who have told me they tried to use the visualization but it didn’t help them sleep, were those who were the habitual users of sleep medications, and unfortunately that is a large part of our population. So as I examine the experience of sleeping and dreaming from the perspective of consciousness I wish to encourage the use of meditative and relaxing techniques as solutions to sleep problems. These natural solutions leave the portal to dreams open for the insights and awareness that dreams may bring. To disrupt this natural part of our consciousness’s ability to communicate through the sleep experience seems unwise.

And I wish you sweet dreams.

 

Namaste
