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.
