Live Your Dreams

 

We all have Dreams 

Are yours about your family, job, travel plans, perfect partner or ...

Dona Anderson

Welcome and thanks for your visit.

 I have another True Treasures post for You today.

Are your dreams about family, job, health, money, travel plans, perfect partner ... the list can be quite long.

Our dreams change as we live life, age, find new things, make choices of what we like or don't. 

There is so much choice now in all areas from our job, where we live, the food we eat and more doesn't often make it easier. 

I remember when my older sister was finishing high school she really only had the choice of 3, being a secretary, nurse or teacher.  

A while back I opened my book Moving Forward from the Heart, and found the meditation Live our dreams #55 on page 128.

As I read it over I lingered on the ending as I seem to do on most of the relaxations in this book as it offered a place to go for help. 

I thought I'd share a few lines or excerpts of it with you  for another True Treasures post..

From the beginning

"What in this day to dream seems unattainable?

What paths in your life are hidden from view?

What friendly fears try to hold you back?"

From the ending

"Unpack your dreams, spread them out and take a look. Let them come to life and be real so you can plan them into existence, plan for them to be part of your day, your life.

Each time you stretch out a little, you bring back more and go to a new place of thinking and responding. Each time you see how things change slightly, it becomes not so scary anymore. And, when you see what you need to learn more about, you know more about, how to move forward." 

"Let these dreams be ones that come with wellness, ease,

happiness and a sense of renewal ...

Let these dreams be the ones of your future..."

Just a few more words for you today ...

Gently let the gift of silence

find your peace within...

Bye for now.

 PS. I saw this post in the archives & thought I'd share it 

Pick one and see what you discover

 It's time for another True Treasures

What are true Treasures?

I share a lot from my books and True Treasures became a chance for me to share a bit more from a particular meditation. 

You can see previous True Treasures posts by linking to the label True Treasures at the bottom of the post.

 This one is from Words to Be savored and treasured 

  #27 on page 75 in  Moving Forward from the Heart. 

The meditation starts by asking you to select one thought from the list for your Meditation and see what you discover.

This is not the complete list but you can get a feeling for the intent of the meditation.

  

*Compliments should not be kept as thoughts, they should be given and also received.

*Some words can mean the same thing, but get a totally different response.

*A friendly greeting or acknowledgement can create a feeling of welcoming and belonging, and let someone know you care.

*Say words that match your happy heart and face.

*Talk about the way you want to be, and use your words to make your dreams come true"

Fun time to pick - What would You be?

9 questions to ask yourself ... 

It's hard to pick - can it be more than one.

Dona Anderson

I was flipping through my book Moving Forward from the Heart and came across the meditation What would You be #46 on page 114. I decided to share some of it with you and make it another of our True Treasures. 

It's a fun place to pause and let go of that junk in our head for a few minutes.

It's funny how a simple question can be quite hard to answer so I decided to wait until until all the fruits and vegies were sampled over the summer and the colors of the flowers and seasons are still in our minds. 

And, OK, to be honest I was having difficulty just picking one for my answer so I figured I can think about it longer or ask myself the question more times so I can pick more things. 

There, problem solved. 

Anyway here is a shortened version of what's on the page. You can do one or pick a few - whatever you want. 

It's just for fun and to get us thinking about things in our everyday life.

Here goes.

If you were a flavour, what would you be?

If you were a color, what would you be?

If you were a fragrance, what would you be?

If you were a shape, what would you be?

a flower ... a season ... a tree ... an animal ... ?

and it ends with

You are You, what will you be?

So ok, who else picked strawberry for flavour?

PS. Next time it will be that peach that I picked off the tree a few years ago that was really juicy, sweet, warm from the sun and oh so perfect. 

Or that pear from a roadside market that was so delicious and the juice was running down my face.(oh sorry that's more for a fruit not flavour)

Oops, I guess I should have added Fruit on the list, but I'm covered  - I wrote it down on the page. 

Have Fun add in some others

to the list that you think of. 

Thanks for your visit and new posts every Tuesday.

Tuesday is our Day.
