On receiving and translating messages from your intuition + creativity

I am very aware of and sensitive to the sun—it's like I'm heliotropic (when a plant follows the movement of the sun throughout the day). And for awhile I was even thinking of writing an entire book about the sun.

Here in Colorado we average around 300 days of sunshine and the sunshine feels stroooong. My friend who lives here now but grew up in Wisconsin always teases me and her other Colorado-born friends about how quickly we deteriorate (life is terrible!) after just a few days of cloudiness. But it's true. Ha!

And yet, for as much as I appreciate the sun, I'm not a fan of full exposure in it. It's too intense. I get heat rash and I overheat easily. 

So I was doing a visualization the other day and asked my intuition/right brain/spirit what it wanted to foster these days in my work and writing. The message I heard was DAPPLED LIGHT.

Of course it was.  

When I thought about how to translate this into real life, it felt like permission to not be over exposed and courage to not be fully in the shade either.

For example, I love writing to you all, people who have sought out and signed up to receive my letters via email—this feels like the perfect amount of exposure right now. It's dappled light. 

And the thing about dappled light is it happens because of tree branches overhead. So I think I'm needing reminders of something larger standing overhead and filtering/protecting.

How do I translate that into real life? For me, that's my connection with the divine and with the saints and awakened ones beyond this world. My work and my writing need this. I need this.

Practically speaking, I think I'm going to put some sacred images around my desk to help remind me that assistance is available. 

I love receiving this kind of metaphorical information from my intuition and then sitting with it and translating it into real life. 

Does this process speak to you?

You can try it! Get comfy, close your eyes/soften your gaze, and ask your intuition/creativity/right brain/spirit to tell you what it wants to foster in your writing/work/relationships/life.

Let it unfold in your heart or mind's eye. 

And then when you come out of the visualization, jot it down and then start translating it into real life.

If you try this, I'd love to hear how it goes for you!

With care,
Brianna
