Dear friends and fellow Dreamers,
In todays recording, we encounter the animate world as a very real part of our Dreamfield, something we can call on to experience our Dreams within!
We not only go through the Dream and the more difficult painful feelings in it, but we end with integrating the part of ourselves with the BIG heart and the BIG hopes… And a Waking Dream to finish, which helps us embody that. I hope you love this episode as much as I do,
Until next time,
With Courage, Imagination and Love,
Beth
For those of you who’ve never met or worked with me, here I am, just after doing the recording, at the base of a giant Beech Tree, both of us ( and you!) the Dreams of the Earth.
For those who like to follow the Moon, here’s where we are with her at the time of the recording…
Here is my Waking Life Hedge, that appears, or should I say disappears, in the Dream, and is actually a stone wall covered in thick Ivy.
Here is a little video of some of the Bees - although their busyness and number is quite hard to capture, they’re still really active even now it’s getting colder…
And for those of you who’d like to share or make use of it, here is the transcript for our Waking Dream for this episode.
My Body Is Nature
Feel your body on the ground. Feel how the ground holds you, feel into your feet, your ankles, your legs, pelvis, stomach and chest. Notice your hands, arms, shoulders and neck, and up into your head. Feel your breath come in, and go out.
Feel your body, living and breathing on the ground.
See the length of you body as a stone wall, being built piece by piece, feel the composition and the weight of your stone.
See and feel Ivy sprout from the ground, all around your wall self, see green tendrils climb up and over you, filling the gaps in you, thicker and thicker, until the Ivy is part of you.
See and feel your flowers bloom towards the sky, and now see hundreds of bees, come to drink your nectar. You are the bees too! Feel all the movement, the joining, the hum, the flowers, feel the mass of green and vigour, the interwoven density and life, feel the texture and strength of the stones, and the weight of the wall, and feel the ground beneath supporting all parts of you.
Arrive back in your human body, see yourself lying on the ground, in your home, wherever you are.
Open your eyes and know that your body is the body of the earth.
And lastly, here is the beautiful poem I read by Valerie Hope Cherrin.
Earthdreambody
You Are a Dream of the Earth
Remember, Earth has Dreamed you into Being.
Given you this EarthDreamBody.
Her longing to roam around on two feet, conscious of herself,
is fulfilled in your very aliveness.
Feel her rivers your veins,
her air your lungs,
her rocks and stones your bones,
her animal nature your flesh and muscle.
Deep firey volcanic stirrings your gut.
She has dreamed you into being and you are bound to her by the force of love.
Your sweet life given to you by eons of creation and your only job here is remembering who you really are; a product of love more powerful than you can imagine.
Honor your mother, Earth. Remember and hold her love for you in the very core of your being for these few short breaths of aliveness.
When your time is done, your body will return to give more life.
Remember, Earth is dreaming you.
Filled and sourced by love.
Created to witness the beauty of creation.
Stand in this each day.
This is your task, to reawaken to the love that is patiently waiting for you in your EarthDreamBody.
