My father was a detective and I feel that those observational qualities of listening and watching were passed down to me in both genetic and environmental ways. We would do a mystery game in the paper each day. Dad would read the article and teach me how to put the clues together, like working a giant jigsaw puzzle in my mind. What did I hear, where are the clues, what is not being identified that needs to be investigated? I do this constantly throughout the day and I am doing it now as I write these blogs.

When I think of my last post, where else have I heard and observed the concept of “SINGING”? I am not speaking of the obvious, but the conceptual. In the movie Australia, the little boy, often used the phrase, “I will sing you to me” or “I have sung you to me.” It was a sacred way of communicating where energetically the boy would focus his attention and intention to make contact with whomever he was focused on. From people, animals, or heart desires, he would sing them to him, a form of telepathic communication manifestation that had no space or time limitations. As I mentioned in my previous blog this same communication can be done for yourself, singing yourself back to you.

In our non-indigenous culture, this attention is absent. Many people don’t “SING” (the poetic term for broadcasting a state of joy and wellness). Fragmentation that happened years ago is still unattended to and has created multiple fragmentations until the whole of society is fragmented. It seems overwhelming doesn’t it? But it is not. Each day you can care for your soul in such a way that you can sing yourself home and bring back energy and stay full.

Using the idea of singing (although it doesn’t have to be in the literal form), you can intentionally sing yourself back home. Call your name as you envision different places that you have left your energy. An example might be a difficult conversation that you had with someone – your boss, a coworker, or family member – where you felt drained or upset. Those negative feelings are an indication that you lost some of your divine essence or life force to that particular situation. As you remember and envision that conversation, call your energy back to you. Reach out your arms and hands and collect it and then pull it to your heart. Feel it move back inside of you.

What about driving on the highway. Did you lose any part of you there? How much of you gets lost in the space where you work? Go to your job location in the omnipresence of your mind and gather yourself up. Get in a habit of doing this every night before bed and feel the amazing results it has.

I often hear people be frustrated when they can’t remember their dreams. They feel as if they are not “up to par” or they are deficient in some way as a dreamer. Again this is a projection of our Western culture, that says you are “less than.” From a shamanic perspective there is a dismemberment that happens to the psyche in a dream. Dismemberment is a shamanic term that means to take someone or something apart so that it can REMEMBER its truth.

Human beings are naturally divine, capable, creator beings on the planet. However they forget this truth and go through life acting limited and unable. One of the dismemberment phases of dreaming is the dismemberment of these limitations and the ability to REMEMBER the power and the abilities that you actually have and are willing to take in to the dream time.

Shamanically speaking when a person has no memory of their dream, and sleeps soundly and deeply, it is because they completely dismember and go back into the light of creation. They rest there and they have the ability to reassimilate completely ANEW. However what most people do in the reassimilation process of reentry into their body is they put themselves back together exactly as they were before. They don’t take advantage of the power they hold to reassimilate healthy, or different. Shamanically speaking each slumber allows you to go back into creation and change what isn’t working for you. So instead of being deficient because you didn’t remember your dreams you were given the opportunity to return to the divine and be at peace. It is a beautiful state of deep reconnection.

I’d love to hear your stories of dreaming, dismemberment, and reassimilating. Just click on the “no comment/comment” link at the end of this post!

The more the realization that you are given daily opportunities through the death and rebirth cycles of night into morning to rid yourself of burdens, deficits, illness, or hardship, the more the realization is understood and internalized that life is working for you not against you. These systems have existed from the beginning of time to help humanity. All of the negative projections that we place on life are just that — negative projections. They come out of our own egoic creation of suffering and then they control all of our thoughts, distorting the truth of our own power and abilities to create ourselves.

If you would like a meditation to help you merge with your true self, I have a CD for just this purpose. Go to www.lightsong.net/Products/CD_awaken.htm for more information.

The dream is asking you to move into this super powerful arena and take control of your life. Not to be scared and at loss, but to turn toward this energy, and use this energy that the dream is showing you for yourself.

I believe that the spirits and the universe are constantly providing opportunities to move us into our brilliance, to provide opportunities for empowerment and freedom of the confines of an overactive ego. They do this throughout the day and also throughout the night.

So start paying attention to your dreams — and your nightmares — for the learning they contain. Then actively work toward changing the outcome of those dreams. Your true self is waiting for you to see just how powerful you are!

I like the word vortex because in my mind’s eye I can see a cone-shaped area that is full of my desires, my prayers, and my intentions. It is spinning and there is all this wonderful high frequency energy being broadcasted from the vortex. I can see and sense this energy and know that things are in motion. I can also see in my mind’s eye if I am in the vortex or not. Sometimes the only component missing in my vortex is ME. For whatever reason I am on the outside of my vortex. The only way I can be in the vortex is to be an energetic match for it. I then have an action to take to put me in the vortex.  I like action because I am a doer.  The action is something that will enable my feelings to change, to bring them up to the high frequency component of the vortex. I know that if I change my thoughts, and decide to think of something fun, or appreciative, my feelings will change accordingly and I can visualize myself hopping into the vortex. It is a game that I play with myself, but it seems to work.
