Transcript
- 0:00I want to celebrate you because you have recently reclaimed a dream that you have been dreaming for
- 0:05a very long time, but that you weren't allowing yourself to fully own, to fully claim, to fully want
- 0:12and desire and long for. And just as you step into the wanting, as you step into this desire on
- 0:19your heart, know that you are stepping into your destiny, know that you are becoming the living
- 0:25and walking embodiment of the dream. The first aspect of a dream is to remember it, to bring it
- 0:31into our bodies, to bring it into our consciousness so that it can be brought to life. And you are
- 0:37returning to a long-held dream that you've actually had for many years, maybe even in childhood,
- 0:43you saw this possibility for yourself, but then the voices of logic, conditioning, trauma,
- 0:49oppression, limiting beliefs and stories began to remove you from what you always have known
- 0:55is yours to claim in this life. And I just want to celebrate all the work you are doing to remove
- 1:00these layers of conditioning and reclaim the dream on your heart that is specifically being channeled
- 1:06through you. I know that you didn't come here to envision this dream and not live it. I know that
- 1:12you came here to reunite with this divine possibility. And it's all unfolding. It's all happening,
- 1:19but it starts with exactly the work you've been doing, returning to, remembering and reclaiming
- 1:25the dream that has always been yours. Nothing is impossible. Nothing is beyond your reach.
- 1:31As Nelson Mandela had said about the possibility of South African liberation for Black people,
- 1:37it always seems impossible until it's done. If you were to describe many aspects of what we lived
- 1:42today to someone who lived 100, 200, 300 years ago, they would feel like that's not possible.
- 1:48And so it is so important for us as visionaries. You are a visionary, okay? You came here with
- 1:54an expansive imagination of what is possible. You came here seeing whether it's images or hearing
- 2:01voices and sounds of possibilities that have not fully arrived or landed into this exact timeline,
- 2:07because you are a channel for the future timelines and possibilities seeking to be born through
- 2:12you. And I feel like you're stepping into this energy where it feels more possible than ever before.
- 2:18In fact, where it feels inevitable, you're even leaning into a deeper level of trust, a deeper
- 2:23level of faith. You're not looking so much for confirmation from your environment, from your
- 2:29reality. You are the confirmation. You know that the fact that you can see that this is possible
- 2:34means it is yours to live in this lifetime. And what's really inspiring is you continue to
- 2:39step into bigger and bigger, grander and grander visions of what you see as possible for you to
- 2:46live in this life. What I want you to remember babes is you are a beacon. So you are a beacon of
- 2:52possibility for the collective. Everything that you desire expands us through you. So when you
- 2:59lean into what you are calling in, when you lean into the grandest of this vision that you have
- 3:05for your life, I hope you see that we all will get to grow and expand through and with you.
- 3:12You're a beacon because as you as you move towards this possibility, you become a possibility that
- 3:18we move to. Let me say that again, as you move towards this possibility, you become a possibility
- 3:25that we move to. You are a beacon because as you move towards this possibility that you see for
- 3:32your life, we move towards more possibility through you. So you're a beacon also because you hold
- 3:43beacons. So just as you follow that dream on your heart, maybe it's you holding a space, hosting
- 3:50a retreat or event, coming through for your community in ways never seen before, being a leader in
- 3:56some capacity, which you are in your nature. Maybe it's speaking, maybe it's singing, maybe it's
- 4:03writing, world bending, world changing ideas, thoughts, stories, whatever you seek to express as
- 4:11you move towards that beacon of possibility, you embody the beacon for those of us who
- 4:20get to witness you. Do you see what I'm saying? So it's a layered concept. You are a beacon and you
- 4:26hold and follow a beacon within your spirit. I believe it was your soul's destiny to step into
- 4:33this expansive vision that you hold for your life. And I believe that you are receiving more and
- 4:38more signs, signals, teachers, friends, guides along your path, the beautiful and ever true saying
- 4:48that when the student is ready, the teacher appears. And you are our appearing.
- 4:57So we're here to do this delicate dance between being both and both student and teacher.
- 5:03So as you become a student of your vision, studying, what is it asking of me?
- 5:08Feeling in your body because we don't mean studying in the mind, we mean feeling into through
- 5:14the senses. What is my vision asking me to step into to allow to receive? Is my vision asking
- 5:23me to receive more support? Is my vision asking me to receive more celebration and praise along the
- 5:30journey, along the unfolding rather than putting off and delaying the fact that I'm infinitely worthy
- 5:35of celebration? Is my vision asking me to receive money in ways I've never allowed myself to receive
- 5:41it before? Is my vision inviting me to receive love, to receive the fact that I am loveable,
- 5:53to receive the fact that people want to be on my side? And so you're becoming an embodied student
- 6:02of the vision. What is this vision asking me to feel that I don't want to feel? Because all of us
- 6:08is dreamers. There is a level of avoidance that we're being invited to confront. This is something
- 6:13that I struggle with. It's something that we all struggle with using avoidance as a coping mechanism
- 6:20which served us may be in childhood, but of course doesn't serve us as we step into our grandest
- 6:26possibility for our life. You're not on your own. There's no shame involved. It's a strategy that
- 6:33we've learned because it's worked. It has protected us in the past, but it's now maladaptive or
- 6:40it's now not as loving a possibility as stepping into stepping into the fire of our dreams
- 6:48and holding the paradox that the fire is both passionate and alive and sensual and freeing
- 6:54and it is also terrifying and daunting and it can also of course sometimes be destructive.
- 6:59So you are being student of the dream, but as you become the student, so you become the teacher.
- 7:05Who are the teachers of this world? They are the deepest students, whether they study in institutions
- 7:12that this society has named, or whether they study spiritual traditions and faiths, whether they
- 7:18study their own consciousness and mind through meditation, whether they study their community,
- 7:24what the community needs, whether they study themselves, whether they study their history,
- 7:28their lineage, whether they study something to become an author. You know, when authors create
- 7:34these beautiful worlds, it's often rooted in deep study, so they become the teacher by being the
- 7:39student. Their way of teaching the class of their life is through storytelling, which is so divine.
- 7:46And so know that there are going to be moments where you're asked to be a student of your vision,
- 7:52but I believe everything you've come here to learn, it's because in some sense you've come here
- 7:56to teach it, you've come here to embody that for the collective, you've come here to be the beacon.
- 8:02I'm feeling just this whole new energy of possibility, dreams that I forgot that I dreamed,
- 8:08dreams that I'd repressed are coming to life and this was a beautiful conversation I had with
- 8:13my best friend about one of his dreams that he'd repressed or that he had always known but had put
- 8:20off and delayed and said, I'll only be worthy when, when I get to the certain place in my career as
- 8:25a creative. And he was talking about reclaiming the dream for himself today. And we all get to do
- 8:32that. We all get to return to the dream on our heart. This is a theme that comes up in Soulcraft,
- 8:39our creative community. It's about reclaiming what our inner child has always known to be true.
- 8:46So know that you are the beacon. Know that we want to be led by you. Know that we want to follow
- 8:52you. You are our way, Shoa. You are our pathfinder. And you are glistening and glowing so brightly. We cannot
- 9:00help but to notice and to want to walk in your footsteps and find our own through that walk. We
- 9:07need each other as permission slips. We need each other as embodiments of what's possible as
- 9:12expanders. And you are our expander. And trust that you have this dream for a reason.
- 9:19Not only to step into your soul's destiny within itself, but to step into the specific
- 9:27piece of the puzzle that your soul is here to be for the collective soul and spirit.
- 9:32I'm sending so much love to you. Follow and honor the dream on your heart. And know that you are
- 9:38the dream on ours. Know that you just as you are. Have the exact voice. Have the exact
- 9:45way of being. Have the exact way of seeing and perspective. That we long for. That we dream of
- 9:53hearing, receiving, experiencing what you seek to give. We long to receive from you.
- 10:00I'm sending so much love to you. I hope this has served your deepest consciousness. And I will
- 10:05see you on the next soul session. I love you. Bye. My darling, my love, my soul sibling. Thank you
