Three Steps to Wisdom in Times of Uncertainty

I speak often about the importance of deepening our inner wisdom. Inner wisdom is fundamental, especially in these times of uncertainty. It’s our north star. But when all of our usual approaches to create our purpose filled life aren’t working, how do we connect in a different way to our inner GPS. How do we reconfigure our way forward? There are three steps we can take to find this sometimes-elusive wisdom.
First, it’s important to want to seek, to be open. Opening ourselves to curiosity and possibility is the key to passing through the doorway. There are numerous ways in which wisdom speaks to us. Perhaps we have forgotten to see and hear from our peripheral vision about what is being offered to us. But one way to perceive wisdom is through our dreams, intuitions, and waking visions. Dreams are an important portal to become aware of this deeper part of ourselves.
And by the way, too often we tell ourselves when we wake that there’ll be time enough later to record those strange, quirky images. And, of course, later we can’t remember them. Some of us have sleeping patterns that make remembering our dreams difficult or even impossible. However, I believe that having the opportunity to share in the dreams of others can help stimulate our own.
Second, once we say that dream exploration is worth a try, finding a safe environment is the next step. In my practice there are dream circle participants who initially hesitated to join a group. They feared judgement as well as the vulnerability of sharing symbols and images from their dreamscape. This is all valid. Trust and safety are essential factors in dream circles.
Third, the beauty of dream exploration is that it allows our whole self to have a voice. When we have found a safe – you can even say a sacred – space then we can finally get out of our heads for a while. The internal dialogue learns to quiet down a bit, so we begin to notice what else is there.
My passion is using dreams as a portal to the wholeness that we seek. It’s truly a soul’s homecoming.
Here are a few opportunities that I am offering in the next few months. It’s an opportunity to know more deeply how your dreams and intuitions tap into your inner wisdom.
