For dreams to flourish our inner landscape needs to be healthy and loving.
Once we’ve uprooted the subconscious beliefs that have been growing in our psyche, it becomes necessary to look at the surrounding inner environment in which our beliefs have been planted.
Were these beliefs planted with love? Or, were they passed down unconsciously through fear and scarcity?
Until we work on our own inner landscape, we have inherited the soil from preceding generations.
I see this soil as the relationship we have with our inner child.
Is our inner child feeling happy, hopeful and safe? Or is she traumatized, wounded and fearful? These vibrations affect whatever we choose to plant.
Building a healthy relationship to this part of yourself in my opinion is the key to creating a stable foundation and healthy soil in which your dreams can flourish.
There are many ways to connect with your inner child, such as through meditation, journaling, visualizations, and play.
In my signature 1:1 coaching program FLOURISH I guide my clients to reconnect with their inner child, which I’ve personally found to be particularly stabilizing and transformative.
Something I’ve noticed, as adults we’ve been taught to ignore and discount our true feelings. All the rational ideas, concepts and beliefs we’ve inherited from our family structure, society, and basically anything “external” to us, can result in living lives that are inauthentic to who we really are.
Once we take the time to reconnect with our inner child, we gain access to so much information that can be trusted because it is coming from a much deeper part of us, and is not external.
Very often just tuning in to these deeper feelings can steer us in totally new and often surprising directions, leading to growth in specific areas of our lives that we never expected.
We learn to listen more deeply, and to really value the information we receive as trusted guidance.
We eventually learn to create outer environments that harmonise with our deeper truth, so that we’re not constantly second-guessing our choices, and we feel free to be ourselves.
