A long-time client of mine recently sent me a photo showing
how she repurposed the glass jar from a candle she purchased last year and is
now using it as a planter. I was
delighted by this not only for practical reasons but because it was the purple
tinted jar from the 7th Chakra candle. The 7th Chakra resides at the top
of the head and is the gateway to the spirit realm and our relationship to the all-encompassing
energy of the universe.
I love how the roots of my customer’s plant can be seen
through the glass. In recent weeks I’ve been
inspired to place crystals relating to the 7th Chakra (i.e., amethyst
and selenite) below my clients’ feet to create a pathway for a higher vibration
to be anchored or “rooted” into the physical body.
Three-dimensional existence makes it is easy to forget
everything that happens underneath the surface of life to enable the creation
process to even begin. A seed of a dream
needs courage to break open and reach into unknown territory. In the beginning, there is uncertainty and vulnerability
before a dream or vision can establish roots.
Along the way there can be tears of both frustration and joy, obstacles
to overcome and victories to be celebrated, setbacks that test one’s resolve
and momentum to be gained. My customer’s
picture of the roots being revealed was a beautiful reminder of how much unseen
activity takes place before a dream or vision can emerge.
Every sentient being is an interactive channel of life-force
energy and thus a co-creator with the universe.
If you have a dream or vision, how you channel the energy flowing
through you will determine your satisfaction with the co-creation process no
matter the outcome. Desire, passion,
faith in yourself and the universe and curiosity all help with staying the
course when meeting challenges along the way.
Having a dream that excites you is a calling from spirit or
your higher self, asking you to create a little more heaven on earth. Sometimes dreams can manifest in a flash,
just as some plants spring up seemingly overnight under the right
circumstances. Other dreams require more
time (and patience) in the unseen darkness of the soil before the roots are
strong enough to anchor the vision into reality. Having a support system is important because
those callings often mean overcoming both inner and outer obstacles and
resistance. When the negative self-talk
and frustration arise, taking ownership of your worthiness enables you to get
curious about those challenges instead of letting them take you down. When a plant encounters a rock in its trajectory
of growth, it doesn’t give up and revert into a seed. Instead it redirects its growth. If its environmental conditions are
challenging, the plant concentrates its resources which often results in deeper
color, fragrance or flavor. The same
holds true when it comes to nurturing a dream.
Obstacles aren’t there to stop you, but to help you heal and experience the
fullness of your gifts along the way.
More than ever people worldwide are waking up to the need for
restoring harmony to mother earth.
Inventors and scientists are developing new technologies to rebalance
nature’s ecosystems. Whether by choice
or necessity, individuals are striking out on their own, taking paths less travelled
to become solopreneurs and discovering the gifts they can share to make the
world a better place. There are examples
of new leadership that inspire communities to support each other.
There are many unknowns when the seeds of dreams are
planted, yet with each seed there is also a window of opportunity for heaven to
anchor its light on earth and promote an ever evolving individual and collective
consciousness.
In what ways do your
dreams create a little more heaven on earth?
