The Hidden Relationship of Everything

In most Earth-based spiritual traditions, there is an understanding that we are related to everything -- every plant, animal and human -- and we are meant to walk in "right relation" to everyone and everything.  This is not so easy when we find a person in our lives "unlikeable" or "offensive" or down-right violent.

The principle of "all my relations" is not about appeasing everyone nor is it about having to sit down and hang with everyone, because in this unbalanced world where we live, that could be a dangerous thing.

However, it is important to treat everything and everyone from a place of respect, whether or not that person is behaving in a way that deserves it.  Because if we don't, it can have many inter-generational implications. At least, this is what I've discovered through medical intuion, soul readings and the "Your Soul's Footprint" Package.  It is also what many have experienced in Family Constellations work.

What I've discovered, is that an atittude or transgression that may have happened 1 or more generations ago is felt within the energy field and consciousness of oneself. No matter how hard we try to run from our family or ancestral patterns, they still show up at our door to get our attention.

For example, my parents divorced when I was 3 years old. I hardly knew my father growing up and it wasn't until my late 20s that I became curious in building a relationship. In the back of my mind, I couldn't trust my mother fully because she left him and also felt deeply hurt by him and expressed that openly. I didn't have the experience of him, so I mistrusted what my mother told me. I didn't want to be "unfair or unbalanced" in my judgment of my father. Her comments about him without his presence made me blind to my father's character defects, shall we say, and I would attract people in my life who I couldn't "see clearly" for who they were because of this.

So as I got to know my father, I realized who he really was as a person and that my mother was actually right and self-protective in leaving him. I eventually saw the courage in my mother for doing so.  But the interesting part that I found out  is that I experienced an ugly ending of a relationship in similar way that my mother did with my father.  I almost replicated it.  I unconsciously needed to experience my mother's pain in order to grow in compassion for her and to bond with her. I had no idea that I was doing this. I blame it on inter-generational trauma bonding, and on not knowing what I didn't know.

Now that I can see it, now that I've felt it, I get to take it one step further and claim that "I will never let a man destroy my life or reputation again" and smell the inequalities, psychological abuse and betrayal from a mile away.

These patterns show up in so many ways in all areas of our lives. We all know we are affected by them but can we actually really get what the lesson or teaching is so we don't re-create more suffering unnecessarily.

I'm going to suggest we can.  Through my training and experience with working with over 1,500 clients worldwide, I have created a "Your Soul's Footprint" Package to help you gain clarity and insight into one area of your life that may be affected by your family system and to bring balance, awareness and resolution for making a contribution to the world that brings less suffering for this and future generations.

It can be a great tool to understand what is really going on behind family conflict, to discover what your part is in it and how to let go or give responsibility to where it belongs.

If you feel you want to understand the source of your challenges or the hidden areas you can't see that have contributed to where you are now, then please consider booking this package.  Because peace really does begin within the home.

The Peacemaker

I just went to my therapist the other day and it became clear in the session that I am the "Peacemaker" in my family and the world. Which means that I've tried to harmonize a lot of conflicts at the sake of my own needs.

When reading about the Peacemaker from the Enneagram Institute's perspective, this means that I can have a tendency to avoid conflict or try to mediate even if it's not my place.  I would try to mediate every single conflict in my family, my community, in the world. I'd take on every cause of injustice, only to fail and get pummeled. I had to learn the hard way that some people just like a good fight and don't actually want peace. That was painful and humbling at the same time. Now it doesn't mean I don't stand up for myself or what is important, because I've done that, too.  But it's always been from a place of wanting more balanced understanding.

The best career choices are usually doing something spiritual, artistic, counselling or mundane -- not stressful or complicated jobs like being a police officer, administrative assistant or corporate executive.

The downside of this is I need a lot of alone time, I'm easily dominated and I shy away from certain opportunities that may help me be successful in life.

Knowing this put so many pieces together of why I could or couldn't do certain things in my life.  When growing up, others seemed to be able to handle the confrontations and competitiveness of regular life -- joining hockey teams, taking on complex tasks, managing teams, etc. For me, I get really overwhelmed by too much of human dynamics and the potential for misunderstandings.

Knowing my role as the peacemaker, I'm aware not to put myself or attach to high conflict situations. That I need to be aware when I get hooked or drained and to disconnect myself from that role when it's not necessary for me to intervene.

Fortunately, I've been blessed to have been able to do the work I do now as a Soul Oracle Consultant. I tend to do this work in silence, working intimately one-on-one with clients or in small groups.  I get to access the realm of the Other Side and the Ancestors to support others in having the insights and clarity they need to move forward past the suffering they've inherited.  I help others come to peace and I can stay in peace.

This is why knowing oneself is so important -- the journey of self-discovery and self-awareness is one that can do so much in the alleviation of suffering. I highly recommend taking the Enneagram Institute Test or find any other way to know yourself and your soul better.  It will take you out of the darkness and hidden layers that are causing you far too much inner turmoil.

Here's to more peace, love and freedom to be yourself in the world!

Right Livelihood

I was recently at Irina Benedict’s weekend for Spiritual Entrepreneurs on Becoming Truly Free.  She is brilliant at working with people’s inner child wounds as the barriers to success on the path of entrepreneurship.  She offers various activities and coaching that helps the participants have really profound insights. (I highly recommend you check her out if you are thinking about entrepreneurship or are in a business and feeling stuck and you want a spiritual approach). And I definitely was someone who had the benefit and challenge of having to face some core barriers within myself.

The one of many insights was my resistance to business for 2 reasons – I hate being busy and I have some wounds from when I was in business school in my 20s.  (Now this isn’t to say I judge people who are running a business – this is all my internal, emotional stuff I’m grappling with).  I’ll explain my personal experience. 

Firstly, I’ve been the one in the family who was considered “lazy”.  I’d daydream, sleep in for as long as I wanted, wanted life to be simple, and got overwhelmed easily by too many human dynamics and conflicts.  In my family, being busy was considered to be a “good thing”, close to godliness (those darned Protestant Ancestors, I tell you!).  Instead of relating emotionally or asking how we were really doing, the question would be something to the effect of “are you making money?” and “you must so busy, right?” and they would understand if you couldn’t make it to a family function if work were the excuse.  So long as you’re busy doing something, and you’re making money doing it.  Workaholism is another type of addiction rampant in our culture and it has done more damage to the soul than some of the other addictions – because it creates loneliness, fierce independence, stress, exhaustion, burnout and abandoned relationships. When you break down the word “business” it means “busy ness”.  Crazy, eh? So no wonder I was procrastinating when it came to doing the entrepreneurship program. The last thing I wanted was to be busier than I already was.  “Stop the bus, I want off!” was what I wanted to say.

I believe that our culture is too busy, over productive and missing out taking the time to cultivate the soul within.  Imagine of more people just stopped, breathed, were mindful and did less? Our earth and environment would greatly benefit, and our personal relationships surely would, as well.  

I want to show a different way of living and being that can be abundant and lead to a feeling of well-being and peace, and to incorporate this in how I work with clients.

Then the other reason I was resistant to doing the program or making a fully functioning business for myself had to do with my experiences in Business School in my 20s.  I went into the program thinking it was something practical, and not because it was in my heart (I would have preferred taking English and Sociology). I spent 4 gruelling years in the program, volunteering in so many other capacities so I could get a degree that could get me a job.  I was the weird kid in the program who cared about the earth and believed in ethical, eco, co-operative practices (which is now trendy), and I preferred wearing jeans and a t-shirt rather than a suit to school.  I didn’t like the cliquey nature of the school, where you were valued based on what business connections your parents had. It just smelled of pure greed and it felt like I was so stuck in a see of people where I didn’t belong. 

So my association with the words “business” and “entrepreneurship” was one that made me cringe and something I tried to run away from after I graduated (even though my degree haunted me on my resume where everyone assumed I wanted to do their marketing when they hired me at a job).

 The reason I started a small business 8 years ago was because I had a supportive partner at the time who encouraged me in that direction, showing me that it is a place where a holistic practitioner can make a living.  Going into it, it spoke to me about the possibilities of freedom, ability to choose who you do and don’t work with, and the chance to grow spiritually and personally while doing it.  I saw the plus side of running a business and preferred to call it a “practice”.

So at this past weekend’s retreat, I was asking my angel guides to show me how I could come to peace with this word, knowing it had all these negative connotations for me.  Immediately the word “livelihood” popped into my mind and that felt right.  So instead of saying “I own a business”, I can say “I make my livelihood doing…”. 

Then I realized that one of the sacred 8-fold traits of the noble path 

in Buddhism is “right livelihood”, which means “any occupation that does not cause unnecessary harm to other living things. It also means to being honest and ethical in business dealings — not to cheat, steal or lie, and in general make one’s living in an upstanding way.” 

Through this window of understanding, I could embrace being a 

spiritual entrepreneur, knowing it is supporting my path of peace 

and integrity to reduce harm and also support and uplift other living beings.  This is an especially important trait for me, because my father was an unethical salesperson and I carried a lot of shame in my lineage because of his actions.  From him, I learned the value of an honest living because of the suffering the choices he made had on me, my family and others. 

So, thank you, Irina, for providing the space, presence and understanding to guide me towards the deeper meaning of 

entrepreneurship and how it can be a tool for spiritual transformation on our planet. 

And thank you to my clients for believing in me, entrusting me, and allowing me to support you in your process towards greater peace, well-being and love in the world.

Irina offers a free 4-day online training series that is a beneficial 

beginning for those who are starting out or are wanting more 

support as spiritual entrepeneurs.  You can click here for more

Getting Engaged

I never thought it would happen to me.  But it has. I proposed to my love partner, Ted Warren, on March 18th. It just came out of my heart, something that has been sitting inside of me for a couple of months. My thinking mind was saying, "oh, it's too soon" or "don't get trapped" or "why bother getting married". But the heart had other plans.

What I love the most about Ted is he is a really talented drummer and has made his livelihood in connection to his passion (people keep telling me he is one of the best jazz drummers in Canada), he loves animals, he's an empath, he totally accepts me for who I am, he is not afraid to show he loves me and he listens to my heart and needs. And we can stay up all night laughing, talking and who knows what else (wink).

I have never been married before, though I had 4 proposals from previous partners which I turned down for various reasons.  I had also been the one who wanted a deeper commitment while 2 previous partners didn't.  So I never thought I'd ever getting married and I was totally fine with that.

I worked in a bridal store for 2 years when I was a teenager and I saw the madness of the bridal industry and all of it's money-making schemes around this event that is supposed to be filled with love, intimacy and connection rather than fantasy and delusions. Of the times I worked there, out of all the people I served, I would say that two couples I met were truly meant to get married because they genuinely loved each other and weren't doing it for the family or socialized ideals. It was coming from the heart.

So the prospect for me to "get married" caught me off guard, and it was surprising to me that I would even go down this road. But Spirit had other plans.

He responded with a quick "uh, yes, yes, yes." Phew...thankfully!  And he even said he never thought he'd ever get married again. But there was something about both of us seeing each other getting older and the strong friendship and similarities between us that made us both realize we'd want to live our days and nights with each other. I even had a dream when we first got together that showed me I found my "Anam Cara" -- which is considered to be a soul mate according to an Irish Wisdom text.

As the days have been moving forward, I'm learning about the heart-centred teachings of being engaged and getting married.  Such as, the word "fiance" means "trust", so it's the person you are trusting with your heart. And the word marriage means "the ceremony of lovers". Also, the whole notion of "being engaged" is really about being engaged with each other, or putting the attention on each other and interacting more deeply.  And the concept of "tying the knot" is not so much about bondage and property as it is something that goes back to the days of handfasting -- a traditional ceremony in many indigenous cultures that signifies walking together and unification.

We haven't set a date for our ceremony, and we are approaching this process in an organic way where we are going to go to a therapist/counsellor to work out any mixed emotions, past baggage with relationships and setting new agreements for our lives so we can feel in alignment and connected.

When I did a Soul's Footprint Session around this, I discovered that getting married to someone I love is exactly something I'm needing to do to unknot the family and ancestral suffering that has been passed down the line.  My mother and father progressed the system by getting divorced for their personal happiness, and now I'm to get married to progress the lineage as an act of choosing from the heart who I want to be with rather than doing it for all the wrong reasons.

I love the dark humour and wisdom in this old Irish Wedding Proposal: 
An luífeása le mo mhuintirse?
Translation: Would you like to be buried with my people?

So I'm calling on his ancestors and my ancestors and my community to align our hearts, minds and bodies for the greater expression of love in the world.

I will keep you posted about our journey and plans, but any prayers and blessings are welcomed as we move forward in deeper commitment.

A Mystical Time at Thirteen Moons Wellness Centre

I’ve been coming to Thirteen Moons Wellness Centre for over 5 years.  It is a rare place in Ontario where women are called in to gather, heal, connect and ground on the Earth.  Louise, who is the founder of the Centre, has consciously created a place that has compostable toilets that don’t smell, eco-friendly beauty care products, nutritious and delicious vegetarian meals (she is a certified holistic nutritionist), a labyrinth and a medicine wheel, along with various serene trails. The trees envelope around the centre, creating a safe space to cry, scream, feel and return to the centre of oneself in retreat.  She has oracle cards in the living room, a warm fireplace for the winter and hammocks outside on the trees for the summer. 

Louise followed her inner guidance to create this centre, allowing for women from all walks of life and backgrounds to come and rest in the gifts of the woman’s spiritual path and find support to be in the mystery of the inner world.

For me, I continually need this reprieve from the world that is all about the yang approach – of doing, achieving, producing, competing, and disconnecting from one’s inner truth.   When I come to Thirteen Moons, I know I’m going to have some really profound insights that lead me to the things that actually really matter in my life. I walk the labyrinth, sit in stillness on the earth, reflect on my dilemmas and issues and sleep in the comfortable beds. One room has huge windows that look out to the big forest and the sky.  At night, it literally feels like you are sleeping with the stars.

I remember one night so clearly when I had a mystical dream at Thirteen Moons.  I tend to be a vivid dreamer in general, but this one felt like it was an otherworldly experience. 

In the dream, I felt I was transported to a whole other region and my body was lifted and laid to rest on the top of a flat mountain-like structure. As I was laying there, I heard a loud voice and felt the presence of spiritual beings who were giving me a healing. The voice said “we invited you here”. The words were comforting and it made me feel that all was well.  The place seemed familiar yet I had never been anywhere like it.  Then immediately I woke up and saw that I was back at Thirteen Moons and the sky was still dark with the bright stars.

In the morning, I googled for flat-topped cliffs. Within a few minutes, I discovered the place I had been to the night before – I was in Sedona, Arizona, which is a well-known spiritual centre where there are mystics, healers, mediums and the home to the Hopi Peoples. I felt I was being called back to this place, for whatever reason, so I could be regenerated. 

My path of healing had opened up since then and showed me gateways where I needed to heal. This dream and place walks with me and I’m reminded of it each time I return to Thirteen Moons.  This is the space and place where I get another layer of healing in my consciousness where I gain deep understanding of my soul path.

On this most recent trip, I discovered my deep need for expression and writing, along with doing more things in my daily life that nourish my soul.  I came face-to-face with my pain of sexual abuse in my life and the women in my family system. It became so clear that I need to resolve it, heal it and release any unconscious shame around it so my womb and body can heal.  I understood, through my meditations, that I am needing the support of other women who can validate, understand and support me with coming into my own, while I support other women to come into their own.  This is the true spirit behind women’s path of relationships and interconnections. And it is the purpose of Thirteen Moons to bring women together so they can heal.

I encourage you, if you are a woman who needs time away to reflect, regenerate and reconnect with yourself to check out Thirteen Moons.

I offer retreat weekends for Child-free Women here and I also do personal mini-getaways for any woman on a soul path who wants to grow in self-discovery.  If you would like more information, please send me an email to: heather@blossomingheart.ca

Here is to happy, centred and healthy women in the world!

“They Didn’t Create You…” My first experience with a Divine Creator

When I was 3, my parents divorced and it was ugly.  It has been a conflict that has never resolved, even to this day.  I lived with my mother and my father never got over the ego blow of losing to the courts. So he found every way to abdicate all responsibility for parenting and hold a lifelong resentment towards my mother. 

He was a man I never could figure out, relate with or have a deep bond with. He didn’t come to the hospital when I was born and still forgets the date of my birthday. He’s been one of the deepest sources of angst and frustration for me in my life. Our politics are different, views on life and how to treat people are on polar opposites and our integrity around meaning and work are dramatically in conflict. You see, my dad is a con artist (or as some suggest I call him “a salesperson”, which I think degrades salespeople) and I am a humanitarian.  You can imagine the discussions or right out arguments we have had.  Needless to say he’s never supported me in the way of making a good life and he hasn’t truly seen me and my heart. Just recently, I decided to divorce him because it has become one of those relationships that has very little nourishment or positivity. It feels right and good and healthy for me to do so.

My mom is someone who had to recover from my father and she did her best to keep it together personally. She housed us and fed us and tried to be a source of positivity even though she was suffering.  She is a sales person by nature and a free spirit.  She and I have more in common than my dad and I but we also have some fundamentally different outlooks and social/political perspectives.  For example, I care about conscious consumerism and personal sacrifice for the greater good while she has worked for WonderBra, stocking shelves in WalMart, even though she has many other talents/abilities and choices in her life (I don’t judge people for their work, mostly, but I believe that if you have a choice and privilege then seek out something that adds to the blessings of the world and others in it). She grew up in a privileged home while I struggled growing up with very little guidance from her or my father.  So I will say that I was a neglected child and I say that without blame and anger…it’s just a fact of my life.

Both my parents were part of the 60s movement that questioned religion, God and every institution. They were freethinkers who wanted to buck the social system and strive to push the boundaries of what is considered good and bad. They believed in science and wanted to breakdown all engrained beliefs from the beginning of time – to the point where they missed out on the fundamental quality of spiritual teachings – heart-centred love. 

Love was a notion that was balked at, without questioning their own heartbreak and ache in their lives and with each other that made them disbelieve in love to begin with. 

So as I journeyed through life, trying to be a good person doing humanitarian works and feeling the pull of making a difference in the world by carrying its weight on my shoulders, I got to a point of burnout and confusion.  I didn’t understand why I felt this strong need to take on bigger causes, to right the world’s wrongs and care about perfect strangers. I was willing to live in poverty in order to stay true to myself. Where did I get these convictions and values from and why was I so passionate about them? My commitments to equality and respect and cultural sensitivity did not come from my parents.

One Saturday, while I was working overtime at the office, I had an emotional breakdown.  I was in the bathroom feeling angry, frustrated and sad because I felt I was from a family who couldn’t get me or see me or understand my drive towards being a loving, giving and socially conscious person.  I never had a sense of a higher power or God, even though I would give oracle card readings and understood synchronicity.   I reached out and screamed at whatever was out there and I said “why don’t my parents get me, for god’s sakes!” 

Then loud and clear, as if the whole room had filled up with the sound, I heard a response back that said “they didn’t create you.”  I couldn’t deny this voice. It wasn’t gender-specific but it was powerful and affirmative.  I immediately dried my eyes, felt wimpy for even crying in the first place and finally felt supported by something out there that seemed to be watching over me.  I made a commitment to follow this presence and voice in my life, knowing that my birth and my life mattered to somebody somewhere, and being loving, kind and generous to strangers and friends is acknowledged by something.  And even the act of not taking action so as not to harm others we may never meet really do have a long-rippling effect.  Not only does being a heart-centred person improve one’s spirit, positive energy and overall sense of inner peace, but the spiritual guidance and protection that comes to someone who follows their intuition and divine guidance is something that money can’t buy.

I have had 2 other times since this incident when I heard this loud voice.  The second time was when I was walking in the woods, feeling disheartened by the state of the Earth and the world and all the destruction of the natural beauty.  I spoke out loud to “God” and said “why don’t you care, dammit? Why do people get away with this?!” and I heard a response back that said “when did you stop caring?” At first I didn’t understand this message.  Then I realized that this divine power cares so much about me, us and the Earth, more than I even care and that I could always improve my ability to care for even the smallest of creatures.  This is how deeply the divine actually cares about us.

The third voice came this past summer and it’s a whole other long story, but essentially it guided me to my current love partner, Ted, and we have found a lot of compatibility and acceptance in the last 9 months at a time when I was ready to give up on intimate partner love. 

So when someone asks me if God exists, I will say “yes” but not in the way we’ve been taught or may perceive. The divine is a personal relationship with each individual’s heart and needs and guides us every day, if only we will listen. It has a caring quality to it, a loving parent aspect and it is a creator of sorts.  It isn’t reserved to someone who is better than or worse than others – rather to anyone who is willing to connect and communicate and receive the messages in whatever way they come.

It just takes a bit to quiet the mind and heart and trusting that the answers will come. When they arise, there will be wonderful gifts of peace, direction and love that have a quality and depth that can’t come from anywhere but the divine.

I would love to hear if you have had any similar types of divine interventions and communications as I find it all so amazing and fascinating. Please send me an email with any of your stories. If you feel comfortable, I’d love to share them in my blog, too.  Just let me know...

Dreaming Our Reality

As a spiritualist and soul coach, I believe that dreams are from another world or they are reflections of our subconscious. They can also offer us healing from traumatic experiences, that traditional therapy can’t offer.

I also believe that at night time, we leave our bodies energetically and we have the capacity to go to other dimensions of reality in order to obtain healing, knowledge, creativity, deep insight and understanding, or to even send healing and help to others. 

As a child, I would have very vivid dreams and I learned to lucid dream on my own.  I still have vivid recollections of recurring nightmares, knowing that they had enough significance in my life to capture my attention and to linger with me throughout this lifetime.  I knew I was accessing levels of past lives and they showed me why there were unknown issues of broken relationships with my family dynamics.   I have healed layers of trauma within myself simply through dreaming and then analyzing them. 

One of the things I found so captivating about Mexico, is that the culture is conducive to dreaming.  Sleep time is considered to be very important in the development of the soul.  The siesta is a socially accepted norm, knowing that the body and mind needs regular rejuvenation, not just because of the hot climate. 

Indigenous Mexicans also invented one of the most profound items – the hammock.  Yes…it looks simple, but think about it.  The hammock is made of strings, yet it still holds the human body without breaking. It is shaped as a womb and rocks the body in a way that brings us back to the universal rhythm.  It also represents the web of creation, through the way it is designed, which is the belief that we are all interconnected. And it supports us in dreamtime, a time that most Indigenous Traditions believe is the true reality and our waking life is the illusion. 

It is believed that in dreamtime, anything is possible. Shamans teach us that the limits we believe about ourselves and our lives on the earth plane is not how it is on the soul and spirit plane. If we can tap into and disintegrate the illusions we tell ourselves, then we can live with more soul and its possibilities. 

Dreaming awake takes us to a whole new level of understanding about ourselves and our view of reality. It’s the view that dreams can actually wake us up to ourselves, if we are able to truly listen.

Now when I say this, it doesn’t mean it’s all an issue of the mind.  It’s actually very linked to the soul. In the dream world, the soul knows itself intimately. It is our ego-personality that we operate in that is masking our heart.  With this knowledge, we are able to recognize that our dreams are really showing us where we are split with this – that is, where we are not being heart-centred or genuine within ourselves.

Lately, I’ve been having dreams about the inner child. They say, this is the true place of the soul and reveals to us who we really are.

I had one disturbing yet revealing dream last night that showed to me that I’ve been wearing a mask of the professional. It’s been causing me a lot of suffering.  And that my truth is that I am a warm-hearted, loving person.  Now it’s not to say that professionals can’t be this way, but my culture has conditioned us to believe that success has to “look” a certain way.  It gave me incidences in my past with jobs I’ve taken, where I’ve had to wear the suit and skirt, etc., which wasn’t who I really was. It’s why I would end up in a depression when I would go into an office setting.  It just didn’t work for me.  This dream speaks to me that I have to be sure that I’m approaching my business with a full heart, not one that is trying to be more professional than it needs to be. Because that’s not who I am. 

I will give you a bit of background to help you understand this dream better and how relevant it is.

In my family, my mother was an artist and entrepreneur.  She had to struggle to define herself this way because she had the pressure to follow the path of a teacher or office worker because her brothers and father were reputable and successful professionals.  She had the disadvantage of that time of being a woman where there were limited options for her to work.  But there wasn’t much compassion in her family for this and she was seen as the wayward outcast.  My mom boldly sought out work that was inspiring, creative and matched her spirit. But it came at a cost of feeling misunderstood and rejected.

I followed suit, of course, and have moved on the “road less travelled” as a seer/medium, soul coach and author.

But it still there are still twinges, as seen in my dream, that makes me doubt myself and question if I am worthy enough because I don’t have the Master’s degree or the permanent job or the title that shows respectability.  Of course, I know that this credibility is very ridiculous in the roles that define us in our society and they create a lot of ego-division and I don’t believe in them when I interact with people. Heck, most of us aren’t professionals. And consciously, I am glad I’m not a professional because it “keeps me real” and more connected to people. But this dream has shown to me that one part of my ego that believes I have to be “more than”.

Since I adjusted my life to be something that is more me, away from offices and bureaucratic structures, I am also having dreams that are relevant to my clients. There is a synchronicity that happens between my dream world and waking world that can be healing and very relevant for my clients. Sometimes I even receive a dream from a client’s loved one who has passed on. 

They say that death is a transition into the dream world, so dreaming well and learning how to release our issues and wounded memories is so important before we actually do pass from our bodies, because our consciousness takes it with us to where we go next. And from my experience with my near death experiences, I do see this to be true.

There are many dream workshops out there, and dream pillows and dream journals that can support you with healthy dreaming.  For example, my colleague, Roxana Roshon, offers a Mexica Healing Dream Workshop that I highly recommend. It’s a great introduction into the way to work with this sacred time. 

I have also become astute at dream interpretation given my own journey, and would be happy to do a soul reading with you in order to help you get deeper understanding into challenging, questionable or insightful dreams you are having.  Just go to my web site at: www.blossomingheart.ca to book an appointment.

I am an ongoing student of all things dreams, so if you have any resources, stories and personal experiences, I’d love to hear about them.

Here’s to all good day and night dreams,
