Reconnecting with the Dreams that Light You Up
Center yourself in your heart and think of a time when you felt fully alive, fully engaged, and filled with life. That was a time when you were showing up all the way.
That's what our dreams and visions do.
They show us how to bring all our energy, love, and life force into the world, blessing it with the power of our authentic spirit.
Childhood Dreams and Their Power
When you were little, what did you want to be when you grew up?
Give yourself a few moments and really think about this question. And if nothing comes to you, don’t worry—know that simply asking the question will start a process of discovery within you! Just hold that question within your heart, and the answers will start to unfold for you.
The thing that's so powerful about the dreams we have as kids is that we haven't yet learned that we “can't” do them. We're not afraid to do them or feel like we have to be a "better version" of ourselves before we can do them.
When we're young, we're completely in touch with our dreams because we came into the world with them. They are part of our own internal divine blueprint, and they are showing us the way to what we're meant to do.
Let’s get back in touch with that energy now.
We don’t have to act on every childhood idea. But our dreams are a power source for us, and getting in touch with those pure childhood dreams can be truly magical.
The Permission to Dream
In my Guardian Gateway book, I have a whole chapter on giving yourself permission and how powerful a role permission plays in our lives.
It starts when we’re very young. The things our family gives us permission to do are so much easier to accomplish than the things they don’t give us permission to do.
For example, my older sister Viki entered a writing contest when I was ten years old. I remember being in the car when my supportive mom drove Viki two towns over to drop off her entry.
And she won! From that moment on, I felt like I also had permission to be a writer, and entering contests and winning seemed much more possible.
Tuning into What You Loved
Take a moment to reflect and ask yourself: 'What did I really enjoy doing when I was a kid?" If you connect to your heart and ask this question, you’ll start getting answers bit by bit.
Tune in not only to the things you loved in elementary school, but to things you loved as a teenager, as well.
One of the things I really enjoyed doing as a teenager was watching talk shows. Back then there weren’t as many talk shows as there are now, but every day after school, my mom would have The Mike Douglas Show on. Then Merv Griffin would come on afterward, and I loved watching them.
When I started interviewing people years ago, I was nervous, but deep down my belief was, I can do that. And of course I could—I had watched hundreds of hours of interviews—simply because I loved it.
Think about yourself now. What did you do as a child or teenager that might have been preparing you for your dreams?
If someone told you today that you could have your dream job but you had to watch 1,000 hours of training first, that would be daunting, right? But many of us did just that—we spent hours engaged in things we loved, not even realizing we were absorbing knowledge and experience.
We were attracted to those things because they were part of our divine blueprint. So take a moment now and ask yourself: What did I do purely for joy, but now realize was tied to an inner gift?
Reconnecting with the Power of Dreams
Before we go further, take a moment to get still and check in with yourself. What is your relationship with the idea of having dreams and visions for your life?
If it feels stressful, I invite you to sit with that feeling over the next few weeks.
Tune into the presence of Angels in the four corners of your space. Feel yourself held within the energy of your Guardian Angel, who carries the pattern of your fullest expression in this life.
Let go of any pressure now and simply allow yourself to begin receiving support.
Nurturing Dormant Dreams
We come into the world with seeds inside us. Some we water and nourish, bringing them to fruition. Others remain dormant—but they never disappear.
At any time, we can choose to give them the right environment to grow, using our thoughts, feelings, and the support of our Guardians.
Look at your dreams with fresh eyes now. Some dreams may give you energy, excitement, and inspiration—even if you don’t know how to make them real yet. Others might feel faded because they weren’t part of your true path.
You get to decide which dreams are worth rekindling.
