VISION

  • 0:00:00.380,0:00:05.460

    Close your eyes for a moment and just tune

    into the sound of these beautiful, cleansing

    0:00:05.460,0:00:13.580

    rains with me.

    0:00:13.580,0:00:22.449

    And imagine that three rain drops just landed

    on your face.

    0:00:22.449,0:00:37.990

    One on the corners of your two eyes and one

    in between them, right in the center of your

    0:00:37.990,0:00:40.410

    witch's eye.

    0:00:40.410,0:00:47.050

    These cleansing rains help you to see beyond

    illusion.

    0:00:47.050,0:00:51.230

    Help you to see truth as it is.

    0:00:51.230,0:00:57.260

    Help you to perceive the world from the eyes

    of the heart.

    0:00:57.260,0:01:09.749

    Help you to perceive the world from a place

    of acceptance and understanding and compassion.

    0:01:09.749,0:01:17.770

    Letting the muscles of the eyes relax and

    just gently letting them open.

    0:01:17.770,0:01:19.240

    Welcome.

    0:01:19.240,0:01:24.289

    So the medicine for this month is: Vision.

    0:01:24.289,0:01:31.920

    And vision is a tricky medicine to be working

    with, because I think a lot of times we're

    0:01:31.920,0:01:35.000

    really comfortable with the illusions that

    we carry.

    0:01:35.000,0:01:40.899

    The illusions that we carry about ourselves

    that the ego puts on us to keep us safe.

    0:01:40.899,0:01:43.752

    The ego's job is to keep us safe, so a lot

    of times it keeps us small.

    0:01:43.752,0:01:53.759

    A lot of times it tells us, "oh you're not

    smart enough to do this thing" or "you're

    0:01:53.759,0:01:56.750

    too intense to do that," or whatever it is.

    0:01:56.750,0:02:01.740

    There are so many illusions that the ego gives

    us about ourselves and we can use that energy

    0:02:01.740,0:02:09.190

    in this month of vision to work with seeing

    the truth of who we are, but in order to do

    0:02:09.190,0:02:12.190

    that, we really need to embrace who we are

    in totality.

    0:02:12.190,0:02:19.500

    We really need to embrace our inner child,

    our inner 21 year old.

    0:02:19.500,0:02:27.030

    We need to embrace every single aspect of

    who we are, who we were, who we will be.

    0:02:27.030,0:02:31.190

    Because, really, to heal is to be whole.

    0:02:31.190,0:02:33.510

    To heal is to become whole.

    0:02:33.510,0:02:41.190

    We can't really move towards healing if we're

    cutting off from different parts of ourselves

    0:02:41.190,0:02:48.830

    or disallowing different parts of ourselves

    to be or fragmenting and blocking different

    0:02:48.830,0:02:50.750

    memories from coming through.

    0:02:50.750,0:02:57.310

    When we embrace that energy of vision and

    the idea of being able to see ourselves and

    0:02:57.310,0:03:04.760

    the world around us from a clear perspective,

    from a whole perspective, from a real perspective,

    0:03:04.760,0:03:10.090

    it can be intense, because a lot of times

    that means remembering things that we've purposely

    0:03:10.090,0:03:11.480

    blocked out.

    0:03:11.480,0:03:16.060

    And sometimes those memories are hard and

    painful, but they're important for us to help

    0:03:16.060,0:03:18.310

    to understand who we are today.

    0:03:18.310,0:03:22.870

    They're important for us to help us be whole.

    0:03:22.870,0:03:30.570

    Sometimes, you know, letting go of the veils

    of illusion means seeing a partner, or a business,

    0:03:30.570,0:03:36.620

    or a place, or a practice that we have, or

    a belief that we have about ourselves for

    0:03:36.620,0:03:40.080

    what it truly is.

    0:03:40.080,0:03:47.480

    I feel like the illusion is there, in a lot

    of ways, and we cling to it and we need it,

    0:03:47.480,0:03:53.490

    but there's always this feeling inside, like

    "what else is out there?"

    0:03:53.490,0:04:03.140

    And the curious among us want to explore,

    and so we meditate, and we receive healing

    0:04:03.140,0:04:12.010

    and keep a dream journal, and we want to explore

    and go deeper into our mystical selves, because

    0:04:12.010,0:04:14.069

    we know that exists.

    0:04:14.069,0:04:21.280

    While owning that the vision that we have

    could bring us things that maybe we've been

    0:04:21.280,0:04:27.680

    trying to not see, and that maybe will bring

    about really intense changes in our lives,

    0:04:27.680,0:04:35.540

    it's also a deep part of our mystic path and

    our mystic journey.

    0:04:35.540,0:04:42.700

    Just embracing the mystery of what our visions

    can bring is so important.

    0:04:42.700,0:04:50.580

    And then, meeting whatever reality is, whatever

    the truth of ourself is, whatever the truth

    0:04:50.580,0:04:53.440

    of our life is, with courage.

    0:04:53.440,0:05:01.370

    Being willing to step up to dealing with what

    we see, not just seeing something, understanding

    0:05:01.370,0:05:05.500

    something, and wanting to pass it off to someone

    else and be like, "here, I saw this.

    0:05:05.500,0:05:07.760

    Can you fix it?"

    0:05:07.760,0:05:12.850

    You can ask for guidance, of course, but it's

    important to understand that your visions

    0:05:12.850,0:05:14.820

    are your own.

    0:05:14.820,0:05:17.350

    Your visions have come through for you.

    0:05:17.350,0:05:23.461

    And even when you have a vision about the

    whole world and the whole collective, that

    0:05:23.461,0:05:26.940

    vision is for you.

    0:05:26.940,0:05:34.820

    You know, it feels so beautiful to be sharing

    this video with you today on this preciously

    0:05:34.820,0:05:43.400

    rainy day when we're entering into this month

    that brings us, in the North Country, the

    0:05:43.400,0:05:46.160

    Summer Solstice, and the fires of.

    0:05:46.160,0:05:47.400

    the Summer Solstice.

    0:05:47.400,0:05:56.940

    The energy of fire helping us to see beyond

    illusions and to move beyond illusion and

    0:05:56.940,0:05:59.150

    bring a light into the darkness.

    0:05:59.150,0:06:05.360

    And we're moving into the time also in the

    North Country when the light gets brighter

    0:06:05.360,0:06:11.820

    and brighter and the days get longer and longer

    and we're able to see more and more clearly

    0:06:11.820,0:06:14.210

    in our material realm.

    0:06:14.210,0:06:21.080

    And this can definitely affect what we see

    within our spiritual realm as well.

    0:06:21.080,0:06:24.110

    It can affect our dreams.

    0:06:24.110,0:06:28.570

    Our dreaming can become more intense, more

    vivid, more clear.

    0:06:28.570,0:06:36.720

    So when you're having those visions come through,

    if they're psychic visions, if they're visions

    0:06:36.720,0:06:45.639

    that you're kind of mood boarding out and

    creating as you look into your future, just

    0:06:45.639,0:06:49.190

    trust the visions that are coming through

    for you.

    0:06:49.190,0:06:50.570

    Understand that they are for you.

    0:06:50.570,0:06:53.139

    Your visions that are coming through are for

    you.

    0:06:53.139,0:06:58.340

    They're not for somebody else, so own them.

    0:06:58.340,0:07:01.700

    Don't be afraid to ask for guidance.

    0:07:01.700,0:07:04.670

    Don't be afraid to give guidance.

    0:07:04.670,0:07:11.130

    Don't be afraid to receive guidance, but at

    the same time, understand that you are the

    0:07:11.130,0:07:14.380

    one who can best interpret your dreams.

    0:07:14.380,0:07:17.650

    You are the one who can best interpret your

    visions.

    0:07:17.650,0:07:23.480

    Nobody can tell you what your dreams mean,

    though many have tried, and I think, a lot

    0:07:23.480,0:07:28.620

    of times, many can give you a framework of

    what your dreams mean, you are the one that

    0:07:28.620,0:07:31.850

    really knows what your dreams mean.

    0:07:31.850,0:07:34.700

    You are the one who really knows what your

    visions mean.

    0:07:34.700,0:07:40.330

    You have a vision of a hawk... you know what

    that vision of a hawk means to you.

    0:07:40.330,0:07:47.100

    You have a vision of some flower or some plant,

    you know what that vision means to you.

    0:07:47.100,0:07:53.800

    And it's important to understand that, because

    the added element here with understanding

    0:07:53.800,0:07:56.020

    and interpreting our visions is patience.

    0:07:56.020,0:07:57.020

    Patience.

    0:07:57.020,0:08:07.900

    The literal translation of what it means when

    you see ruby throated hummingbird is something

    0:08:07.900,0:08:14.241

    that might not come in a literal, clear way

    for you.

    0:08:14.241,0:08:19.139

    It means a feeling, it means a sensation.

    0:08:19.139,0:08:20.259

    Don't worry about it.

    0:08:20.259,0:08:21.650

    Don't worry about it.

    0:08:21.650,0:08:29.610

    If you really need to know the literal translation

    of your visions, you will receive the literal

    0:08:29.610,0:08:31.860

    translation of your visions.

    0:08:31.860,0:08:38.130

    You don't need to pressurize your self or

    force it or force understanding, and while

    0:08:38.130,0:08:43.360

    books we read or people we see can give us

    guidance, it's really important understand

    0:08:43.360,0:08:50.210

    that we still need to run everything through

    our own processing system and be our own healer.

    0:08:50.210,0:08:52.610

    So, enjoy the visions.

    0:08:52.610,0:08:54.270

    Enjoy the clarity.

    0:08:54.270,0:09:03.440

    And, I want to really encourage, also, not

    trying to induce your visioning.

    0:09:03.440,0:09:10.430

    While working with plant medicine and different

    meditations and things like this is really

    0:09:10.430,0:09:16.300

    really beautiful, try to move away from forcing

    visions to come to you.

    0:09:16.300,0:09:22.160

    Trust that you are wise and you are intuitive

    and you do have psychic energy.

    0:09:22.160,0:09:25.800

    We really all do.

    0:09:25.800,0:09:31.060

    Know that your visions will come to you when

    they are meant to come to you.

    0:09:31.060,0:09:33.420

    Again, it's patience, right.

    0:09:33.420,0:09:35.000

    Don't force it.

    0:09:35.000,0:09:37.260

    It's patience.

    0:09:37.260,0:09:41.720

    Really just come into more of a feminine approach

    to visions.

    0:09:41.720,0:09:44.370

    Allow the visions to come.

    0:09:44.370,0:09:45.680

    Trust that they will come.

    0:09:45.680,0:09:48.000

    Know that you will receive the visions.

    0:09:48.000,0:09:50.260

    Trust that you are intuitive.

    0:09:50.260,0:09:52.190

    Own that whole part of yourself.

    0:09:52.190,0:10:00.100

    Be able to see your whole self, and from that

    place of owning everything that you are, everything

    0:10:00.100,0:10:05.370

    that you have been, everything that you will

    be... that's when the visions come.

    0:10:05.370,0:10:07.610

    That's when the psychic awareness comes.

    0:10:07.610,0:10:09.860

    It's through whole self healing.

    0:10:09.860,0:10:12.270

    Whole self healing.

    0:10:12.270,0:10:16.860

    Really understanding that everything you have

    been through, everything that you have gone

    0:10:16.860,0:10:24.750

    through, it's just been this massive initiation,

    cleansing, a healing, a test -- whatever you

    0:10:24.750,0:10:28.860

    want to call it -- into who we are today.

    0:10:28.860,0:10:36.410

    And through being able to embrace even the

    most shadowy parts of yourself, then you're

    0:10:36.410,0:10:43.550

    able to come into a place of wholeness and

    be a full complete vessel without any leaks

    0:10:43.550,0:10:47.930

    at all, for the vision to land and come through.

    0:10:47.930,0:10:50.700

    So I hope you have a really beautiful month.

    0:10:50.700,0:10:53.740

    I hope to see you in SPACE by Mama Medicine.

    0:10:53.740,0:10:58.740

    I hope to see you for a Medicine Reading or

    a retreat soon.

    0:10:58.740,0:11:00.581

    Take care and see you then.
