As the world here on the lake begins to wake… the Dreamcatcher comes into focus again as the energies have shifted and are allowing us to do just that…weave and catch our dreams! So today let your soul travel freely and soak in the positive energies so they may spark new seeds of inspiration, creativity and positive reinforcements for all the goals you may set.
Show the world what you are made of by allowing yourself to understand that the life choices we make can either make our foundations stronger or can tangle us up within the shadow of negativity. Choose wisely… and walk this world in wonder and appreciation for all that we are given… all that the world has to share with us … that everything we can dream can be woven into reality.
The Dreamcatcher represents our lives as we weave them to life… so weave them strong, weave them as you choose. We can always listen to advice of others, but ultimately we are the ones that choose how we proceed. Do not live your life based on others expectations but rather to what feels right to you. Listen to that little voice inside for that is your soul speaking and guiding you on your journey.
So Dream and Dream Big! If we can envision it we can definitely accomplish it… we simply must believe in ourselves.
The Dreamcatcher is known to many far and wide. It is a part of the Native American culture that captivates the world. But for many of us it is a reminder of a gift given to us in return for holding a life as Sacred and protecting it.
The story goes that a spider was quietly spinning her web in her own space. It was beside the sleeping space of Nokomis, the grandmother. Each day, Nokomis watched the spider at work, quietly spinning away. One day as she was watching her, her grandson came in. “Nokomis-iya!” he shouted, glancing at the spider. He stomped over to the spider, picked up a shoe and went to hit it.
“No-keegwa,” the old lady whispered, “don’t hurt her.”
“Nokomis, why do you protect the spider?” asked the little boy.
The old lady smiled, but did not answer. When the boy left, the spider went to the old woman and thanked her for saving her life. She said to her, “For many days you have watched me spin and weave my web. You have admired my work. In return for saving my life, I will give you a gift.”
She smiled her special spider smile and moved away, spinning as she went.
Soon the moon glistened on a magical silvery web moving gently in the window. “See how I spin?” she said. “See and learn, for each web will snare bad dreams. Only good dreams will go through the small hole. This is my gift to you. Use it so that only good dreams will be remembered. The bad dreams will become hopelessly entangled in the web.”
So allow the negatives of life to become entangled in the web of life, and let only the good and positives to enter so that you will walk in a good light as you move forward in your journeys.
Blessings to You All,
