The main reason I love writing my Blog, THE reason I write my Blog, is that it offers the opportunity for Self-Reflection of my me, my day, my Journey. Self-Reflection is important to me.
The last couple of days I have begun opening up to receiving the messages of my Dreams. I have also became very interested in Dreamwork - I like what I read on Wikipedia - "Dreamworking differs from classical dream interpretation in that the aim of Dreamwork is to explore the various images and emotions that a Dream presents and evokes, while not attempting to come up with a single, unique dream meaning. In this way the Dream remains 'alive' whereas if it has been assigned a specific meaning, it is 'finished' (i.e., over and done with). Dreamworkers take the position that a Dream may have a variety of meanings, depending on the levels (e.g. subjective, objective) that are being explored. A tenet of Dreamwork is that each person has his or her own Dream 'language'. Any given place, person, object or symbol can differ in its meaning from Dreamer to Dreamer and also from time to time in the Dreamer's ongoing life situation. Thus someone helping a dreamer get closer to her or his Dream through Dreamwork adopts an attitude of 'not knowing' as far as possible."

I like the idea of keeping the Dream "alive". At 10.40pm last night, I had another insight regarding my dream from two nights ago - I remember that my ex-lover never saw me as the one for him, that he was on the look out for someone else - and I have a sense that this could be the part of me that is looking outside myself for answers, or wanting me to be different rather than fully loving and engaging with myself. Perhaps this is the message from my Soul that it is time for My Self to love me, choose me.
When I wake up this morning I have a recall of another dream from last night. I remember riding a bike, a shiny new green pushbike.
In the dream I remember having a brief moment where I am loving riding my new bike. And then I remember getting to the railway station and I am rushed and I am racing to get a ticket so I do not miss the train. And the train is waiting for me and I rush and buy a ticket and then I am asking them to wait for me and then I jump on the train. Once on the train, for a moment I feel relieved... and then I look out the window and realise that I have left my new, shiny green bike on the station and I just left it there - I know it will not be the same or still be there when I get back. I am disappointed, sad. I feel helpless that I am now on the train. As I write these words, I realise that I was sad as I cannot go back to that moment.
This Dream is "alive" for me. This is not about me rushing to get somewhere or missing a train. For me this dream speaks to me about enjoying the now, enjoying the new parts of me, enjoying that I am a new Coach, enjoying this Journey, riding my new bike, not trying to get there sooner by jumping on a fast train - perhaps this is one way to look at this Dream. There is the feeling that the shiny, new, green park is one of my Sub-Personalities and that I should not just disregard or discard or reject this part of me. As I write these words, I have a remembering that yes I am a New Coach, and yet I am trained and I have so much to give my Clients. I just have to be myself, what comes naturally to myself, I just have to be me. My Clients who come to me have been sent to me by the Universe, by God - the all knowing - yes, I am a New Coach and yet I am here to love and serve and Spread The Yellow to my Clients.
I have been enjoying bringing my Yin Feminine and Yang Masculine into Union, into their Power. My Yin and my Yang are my Strengths and Resources. By being in touch with all Parts of me, I feel that anything and Everything Is Possible. I feel very Inspired to help my Clients gain an Awareness of their own Yin and Yang, and develop all Parts of Self to help them bring their dreams into ACTION. In my heart I believe Everything Is Possible - and my greatest wish is that the Coaching Process can help my Clients gain a sense of this truth.
I have been reading a lot about Self-Esteem and Self-Love. I love this book 'The Everything Self-Esteem Book' by Robert M. Sherfield. The Process of getting in touch with my Yin and Yang has helped me experience a wonderful feeling of Self-Love. I love this image - almost like my Yin and Yang coming together.
I love these quotes
- “Love yourself first and everything falls into line.” Lucille Ball quotes (American radio and motion-picture actress and comedy star, 1911-1989)
- “To love oneself is the beginning of a life-long romance.” Oscar Wilde quotes (Irish Poet, Novelist, Dramatist and Critic, 1854-1900)
I now feel that this is such a HUGE area where I would like to work with my Clients - helping them Love Self and Love Life. From a place of Self-Love, I have a sense that Everything Is Possible!! I have a KNOWING.
I LOVE THESE WORDS (that I find on a beautiful Blog) -
“I am Me. In all the world, there is no one else exactly like me. Everything that comes out of me is authentically mine, because I alone chose it — I own everything about me: my body, my feelings, my mouth, my voice, all my actions, whether they be to others or myself. I own my fantasies, my dreams, my hopes, my fears. I own my triumphs and successes, all my failures and mistakes.
Because I own all of me, I can become intimately acquainted with me. By so doing, I can love me and be friendly with all my parts. I know there are aspects about myself that puzzle me, and other aspects that I do not know — but as long as I am friendly and loving to myself, I can courageously and hopefully look for solutions to the puzzles and ways to find out more about me.
However I look and sound, whatever I say and do, and whatever I think and feel at a given moment in time is authentically me. If later some parts of how I looked, sounded, thought, and felt turn out to be unfitting, I can discard that which is unfitting, keep the rest, and invent something new for that which I discarded. I can see, hear, feel, think, say, and do. I have the tools to survive, to be close to others, to be productive, and to make sense and order out of the world of people and things outside of me.
I own me, and therefore, I can engineer me. I am me, and I am Okay.”
Denis 2005 Virginia Satir quotes (American Psychologist and Educator, 1916-1988)
From this place of Self-Love, I see the beauty in me, and I see the beauty in the world. I feel I am in Connection to all things - I am all things - I am the birds singing, I am the leaves blowing in the breeze, I am the beautiful, fragrant, precious red rose. I am the beautiful flower in our garden.
I also love the words from this Blog -
http://www.abundancetapestry.com/how-to-love-yourself-in-17-ways/
- "Fall in love with yourself. Think about what makes you You. Just like a flower that needs watering to grow, learn to nurture yourself in every way. Love yourself for all the good that you see and accept your flaws and the fact that you are imperfect. This does not mean that you do not learn to change from your shortcomings; instead, you are being gentle and kind to yourself despite all your “flaws”. Look in the mirror and fall in love with the reflection that is You."
Wow Kath, I really like this post about self-love. It is something I am trying to do more and more of and I've found that when I bring it all back to me, everything else is ok. The challenge now is to keep deepening and strengthening my love for myself =)
