Find the Secret Muse in Your Dreams
Wednesday, January 25th, 2012 by davidpIf you have ever run out of creative juice or felt stuck regarding a specific life issue, you will love the rewards of dream work. Sleep dreams, daydreams and “guided” waking dreams are more than stories about your life. Your Dreaming Mind proves you to be an inspired problem-solver, a creative artist, a natural poet, storyteller and mythmaker.
Dreams also reveal how you really feel about something, where you have been, where you are headed, and the easiest way to get there. Dreams are really about waking up…to living your highest potential.
Through the ever-changing balance between conscious and unconscious activity, your Dreaming Mind offers rich and rewarding evidence that you are indeed an Artist of the Everyday.
When you engage in any creative act—from drawing a picture, arranging a bouquet of flowers, or writing a poem—you are listening to your soul’s voice. These soulful whispers can be heard more clearly through dreams. Dreams draw from both the well of personal experience and from the reservoir of universal experiences, images, metaphors, symbols and mythology. Sometimes these dream messages defy words and can only be expressed in a drawing, a dance, a poem, a sculpture, a collage or some new invention.
These creative outpourings also offer additional ways to interact with your dream symbols to discover new and deeper layers of meaning. When acted upon, the muse discovered within your dreams will naturally spark your imagination for self-expression in your waking life—with amazing results.
When working with any dream or dream symbol, the key to discovering your creative soul is to adopt an attitude of playfulness and discovery. Then trust—and act upon—the creative flow that follows.
.
“I dream my painting and then paint my dream”—Vincent Van Gogh
Allow Various Creative Forms to Evolve
When you track your inner impulses, you will find that a single dream or dream symbol can produce more than one form of self-expression. For example a story derived from a dream can be used to create a poem, which can then become a drawing, which can be transformed into a dance and eventually even into a song.
Three Easy Steps to Write a Dream Haiku
1. Select a dream element that intrigues you and list three adjectives that describe this character or object.
2. Then adding other words, arrange your adjectives (in any order) into three lines consisting of five syllables in the first line, seven syllables in the second line, and five syllables in the third line.
3. Make sure you give your poem a title.
Using these three adjectives (1) imaginative, (2) transform, and (3) playful to describe my Inner Dream Muse—with whom I connected during one of my “guided waking dreams”—I created the following Haiku:
Title: “I Am the Inner Dream Muse”
Playful describes me
Being imaginative
Transform ideas
.
It’s your turn now…simply select a dream or daydream that intrigues you. Silence any judgments from your inner writer’s critic and just listen to your soul’s voice with an open and playful heart. Allow your imagination to soar. The possibilities are limitless!

We Need Each Other to Heal
Monday, January 16th, 2012 by davidp
This is the first tool for self-healing. Most of us knew this, then got distracted and forgot. Now we are simply re-learning it. For myself, I have huge gratitude for my brother and sister healers who have helped me be as clear and flexible as I am today.
It seems we need each other to heal at all three places — at the beginning middle and end of self-healing:
We need others at the beginning
…to listen to us, to help us put ourselves back together when we are stressed, in pain or have an accident.
…to learn how to work with the Light from the start, to show us how to let the Light do all the heavy lifting and how to hold off on releasing ssues until the Light is present because “karma flows to its releaser,” as Maryann Castellanos says.
…to teach us how to get grounded and into our bodies: techniques of massage, reflexology, Touch for Health and, later on, EFT tapping methods.
…to hear Compassionate Communication (CNVC.org) modeled for us so we can start to use language useful for resolving interpersonal conflict anytime, anywhere.
We need others in the middle
…to assist us in exploring and clearing up places in our own psyches where we are literally and figuratively in the dark.
…to give us the experience of getting unstuck. Getting unstuck is not a one time, never again thing. Getting unstuck happens over and over again in self-healing. But this process does not begin until you experience it and develop a taste for how it feels to be much freer inside. For that we need each other, to give us that first experience of getting unstuck.
…to learn other and new Tools That Heal that our more experienced brothers and sisters have learned in order to grow our Energetic Toolbox.
…to encourage us to keep going; to continue being curious and courageous about our growth. The more things we clear up, the greater the temptation is to sit on our laurels and back slide into passivity.
We need others at the end
…to build lasting, healthy relationships, to co-create intentional communities — virtually at first, then in the physical — of persons who wish to continue healing themselves, each other, their local community, the land and the Earth.
That’s the end game, healthy, sustainable communities where healing on all levels can thrive and be on-going. This will require many hands and many talents.
We need each other in another sense. The further a person goes in self-healing, the larger the issues become; they literally begin to clear larger and larger fields in their psyche. These larger fields are much easier to see on another person than they are on yourself — we see each other’s issues more clearly than we see our own.
We need peers that we feel safe and comfortable with so that we can trade skill sessions. This is a practitioner’s best insurance against going stale and also keeps us accountable to our peers.
We need each other as mentors, so that we can have regular mentoring sessions where we are accountable to our issues both hidden and avoided.
During this collaborative healing process, we must remember:
- Each person heals uniquely and, “one person’s medicine really can be another person’s poison.”
- While we are more similar than different as people in our physical bodies, and in our souls, in every other aspect of our psyche our biographies are so unique that each person’s healing journey quite unique.
- For all these reasons, self-healing is characteristically a collaborative activity, whether with a friend, energetic practitioner or hospital M.D.

Here we grow!!
Monday, January 16th, 2012 by davidpNamaste and Happy New Year!
My name is David and I’ve been asked by Jerry to manage and illuminate
the blog-ability of this awesome community with its diverse beliefs,
modalities and areas of expertise. We are all here in this universe
showing up in the forms of human and spiritual beings. Those of us on
paths of self discovery, service to others and who are also excited
about generating and circulating income are being called – right now -
this year – to step up to the opportunities before us to change the
consciousness of the world. How? The simplicity is mind-blowing!! All we
are being called to do is to let people know that we are here at SMHAS
to teach, heal, reflect, guide, remind, love and connect.
Spiritual Seekers find what is sought and what they find depends upon
what is being shared and promoted – love, peace, joy, companionship,
salvation, guidance, healing, fun or whatever is on the ‘front burner’
for them at the moment. As we here in the SMHAS community share the news
of our varied and numerous gifts, talents, processes, procedures and
methodologies – more and more people will awaken, become inspired and
carry on the wave of unconditional love that is healing the world under
the radar and off the front pages.
The young people in some of my classes have a phrase: “get in where you
fit in” and I think that applies here. I’m asking you to consider my
invitation to you to write about your craft, your ideas, your classes,
your beliefs and your positive projections for the unfolding present.
Yes – get in where your passion fits – get in where your interests fit
in – get in where you want the seekers to find you, contact you,
contract with you and grow because of you!
So you soon to be fellow bloggers [beginners and seasoned] start
sending your stuff to: david@smhas.com and lets make a mighty difference
in the hearts and minds here in southern California one ‘Metablog’ at a
time!!
Walk in Balance & Live Inspired,
David

Wednesday, January 4th, 2012 by davidpYou Are Worthy!
Do not undermine your worth by
Comparing yourself with others.
It is because we are different
That each of us is special.
Do not set your goals by what
Other people deem important.
Only you know what is best for you.
Do not take for granted the things
Closest to your heart.
Cling to them as you would your life,
for without them, life is meaningless.
Do not let your life slip through your fingers
By living in the past nor for the future.
By living your life one day at a time,
You live all the days of your life.
Do not give up when you
Still have something to give.
Nothing is really over until the
Moment you stop trying.
It is a fragile thread that
Binds us to each other.
Do not be afraid to encounter risks.
It is by taking chances
That we learn how to be brave.
Do not shut love out of your life by
Saying it is impossible to find.
The quickest way to receive
Love is to give love;
The fastest way to lose love
Is too hold it too tightly;
In addition, the best way to keep
Love is to give it wings.
Do not dismiss your dreams.
To be without dreams
Is to be without hope;
To be without hope
Is to be without purpose.
Do not run through life
So fast that you forget
Not only where you have been,
But also where you are going.
Life is not a race,
But a journey to be savored
Each step of the way.
