Journal Reflection

Harvest Time

  • What seeds did I plant last spring?

  • What fruit has ripened this summer?

  • What gifts are mine to harvest?

  • What will I leave behind for others to glean?

  • How will I celebrate the changing season?

Creative Practice

Harvesting Dreams

  • As the new season begins, you might wish to set an intention for your dream life by choosing an issue or a question about which you would like Dream Maker’s guidance.

  • Write this issue or question on a note card or a slip of paper, and place it near your bed.

  • Before you go to sleep, pause and breathe.

  • Let the breath relax your body.

  • Let the breath soften your heart.

  • Let the breath open your mind.

  • Give thanks for your life and for all those who have made it possible for you to be here now.

  • Breathing here now, reread your issue or question three times, holding it with your whole body, your deep heart, and your vast mind.

  • Ask the land where you live to hold your issue or question with you.

  • Ask Dream Maker to give you a dream in response to your issue or question.

  • Remember your subsequent dream(s), and write/draw notes.

  • Thank Dream Maker for guiding you.

  • Thank the land for supporting you.
