The Conscious Daydream

Lonely vs. Alone

Being physically alone and emotionally lonely are different experiences cut from the same cloth. While some may be comfortable being alone, being lonely can be considered a hardship. 
The vibration of lonely can be the internal cry from the inner child looking for validation. But the validation and the acceptance have to come from you; otherwise, the answer you're seeking is superficial and fleeting. Being alone is an opportunity to know yourself and your Creator better, whether God, Jesus, Buddha, Shiva, Allah, Krishna, etc. Listen to your environment, your higher self, the birds, and the experiences happening around you and within you without the stimulation from the bombardment of our modern world. Your thoughts and emotions create your external world, making it critical to making "friends" with the energy within you. 
Facing ourselves can be a loaded task. But it is not anyone else's job to answer the pressing questions that your Soul asks your psyche. 
Our relationships are there to travel beside us, not in front or behind us. Andrea and Melody discuss pouring from a full cup instead of an empty one and expecting others to fill you. If you do not find your happiness, suffering may occur, and loneliness can creep into your external environment, requiring you to dive further inside yourself to find your true North. 

Sensitivity

Growing up, we are told to behave; if not, we might not feel lovable. Therefore, as we age, we might look for this void to be filled in our adult relationships. Our sensitivity is our superpower, and when we feel certain things, it can guide us to what we need and what may no longer serve our highest good. 
Life is a wild ride, and so many things are happening in the mundane and spiritual worlds. Listen to your heart, mind, and body to find where you need to be. Our feelings may not always make logical sense, making it easy to question ourselves or ignore what is intuitively guiding us.  Your emotions are not too much; they are a gift that helps you process what is happening around and within you. 
 
Andrea and Melody discuss their relationship with being sensitive, how it has served them on their journey, and the challenges that arise. Be open to how life speaks to you; although it may feel scary at times, fear is the false evidence that appears real. 
Thank you for existing. 
 
 

The Void

This episode describes the Void as "no longer being who you once were, but also not being who you aim to become." The void can seem hopeless, complex, and challenging and, therefore, can offer moments of depression and temptations from toxic habits that help avoid facing the unknown. However, as we discuss this topic, we also reveal the gifts the void can provide. "You don't know how strong you are until your strength is tested," - Bob Marley. From these problematic terrains of experience, we find our strength, create our hope, and become more apparent in what we can envision and who we identify as moving forward. On the other side, these storms that bring chaos also allow us to help others and rise as leaders for our community in their struggles! 
Wherever you are on your journey, we thank you. Keep going; you are a phoenix rising from the ashes. Because of these uncomfortable and challenging moments, you will have the wisdom to dive into gratitude, drinking in the nectar of life. You now know the importance of what you dreamed of because you worked to get there, have it, and enjoy what you always deserved! We congratulate you for making the climb and taking the long road! Keep dreaming. 

Internal & External Worlds

Reaching within yourself is never an easy task, but an important one nonetheless. Allowing yourself the time and grace to have those intimate moments to reflect and draw from provides a sense of safety and sovereignty. This process requires patience and determination to grow from a place of stillness instead of relying on external validation. The contrast to the internal journey is the external experience of showing up and taking action on the life you wish to live by design. Andrea and Melody attended a silent piano concert on the beach in a community setting during a sunset. It was an external event that was led with an internal intention of listening to live piano music and guided meditation in an environment surrounded by nature with like-minded individuals. The following day, Andrea and Melody attended a 2-hour self-defense class that provided information and practice on physical techniques that would keep someone safe in a dangerous situation if someone were interested in causing harm to your physical body. 
The internal and external worlds that we navigate daily as humans are very different but also complementary. It's easier to become caught up in surface-level drama and, therefore, avoid what's going on regarding emotions and spirituality. This topic of creating balance is essential to mental health and confidence when moving through change, uncertainty and overall life circumstance. 

Manifesting

Manifesting is more than just asking the Universe for what you want. It's holding the vision in your mind's eye and not taking "no" for an answer. When we dare to dream outside of our realm of what we deem realistic, life's circumstances challenge us to raise our frequency through these lessons to attract what we desire. 
"If you can see it in your mind, you can hold it in your hand." - Bob Proctor. 
Feeling the feelings you will have when you receive your wish in this moment instead of waiting to feel a certain way based on outside circumstances. Happiness is here now, not in the future scenario your ego hopes for and tries to control.
Ask. Listen. Let Go. Receive. 

Slow Down

This episode serves as a permission slip to slow down. Society deems our worth based on our external accomplishments and how commercialized our lives appear on social media. However, depression, anxiety, obesity, and relationship issues are constantly on the rise; it is almost as if money isn't the answer for everything, but we treat it as if it's our answer to everything!  External actions are only fulfilling when we become incredibly clear about what we are passionate about and what we feel aligns with our innate talents. 
Don't wait until something externally stops you in your tracks to enjoy the breath that's been gifted to you in this lifetime. That small whisper that's easily ignored and can get drowned out by distractions, is the source of everything you may be searching for. Instead of focussing on external validation from peers and loved ones, be the one who recognizes yourself through the eyes of God and everything you were put on the planet to be and truly hone in on. You are not a human doing but a human being. Western culture hammers social status and economic comforts, but what is the use of being financially stable when you cannot find solitude within your own skin? 
The Conscious Daydream encourages you to dive into your thoughts, dreams, and emotions to become clear on what lights you up and makes life worth living. You are a work of art, and we are so grateful you are here. We love you. You are enough. You are Divine.
Slow down. 

The Mother Wound

The Mother Wound is a popular topic for many conscious people actively seeking to heal their internal worlds. As lightworkers on the planet, many of us grew up as empaths who needed nurturing from our mothers, which may not have been available in the ways we saw as necessary to the relationship we cultivated with life. Andrea and Melody discuss the importance of stepping into that mother role with yourself and becoming the parent that you needed as a child. You cannot always change the people, places, and circumstances outside of you, but you will always have complete control over how you react, respond, grow, and evolve from those experiences. There is no one to blame with this topic of discussion. There are no fingers to point at anyone but you. Your relationship with yourself, God, and your community comes into focus. Embracing and embodying these mother wounds allows you to fully show up for others in ways that others may not be able to show up for themselves. We are all here to walk each other home, and we rise by lifting others. Be a sacred mother to yourself. And dive deeply into gratitude for the life your mother gifted you, regardless of your relationship with her outside of her physical womb. 

Eclipse Into Your Daydream Event

The Conscious Daydream hosted their first event on March 25th for the Libra/Aries Full Moon Eclipse. Andrea & Melody reflect on the happenings of the event and what all they enjoyed. A huge shout out to all of our vendors for bringing the vibe and contributing their talents towards cultivating a sacred space for all to enjoy. Gratitude for the experience to connect with all of our Daydreamers! A Women’s Only Event: Goddess Temple is currently in the process of manifesting. Stay tuned for details! 

Tarot & Oracle

In this episode, Andrea and Melody discuss their thoughts on the use of Oracle and Tarot Decks, the wisdom shared with each pull of a card, and the importance of diving into the inner realm. Two cards are drawn from the Animal Spirit Oracle Deck to deliver a guided message to our Daydreamers. The first card pulled is the Moth - this card discusses the importance of owning your path and not wishing anything to be a different way but working with the tools you have been given at this moment. The second card is the Mouse. This card talks about being nervous and trying to control your outer environment, again needing to address and take care of your inner reality. These cards are further discussed as a theme that the collective may be feeling at this time, as well as our take on the wisdom shared through this modality of tuning inward. We hope these messages resonate with our daydreamers and that there is a takeaway that can better clarify what you are feeling at this time on your journey. 

Expectations

Our expectations can prevent us from experiencing the gifts and blessings that surround us. We tend to get into our heads about where we think we should be or what we should have in comparison to society's and our peers' programming. It's good to have goals, but when we put pressure on ourselves and the future we think we should have, it tends to get in the way of seeing what is going well for us. 
Being grounded in who you are and what you have and truly accepting your limitations as powerful tools can offer insight into where you are and how you can navigate moving forward. Every struggle that you experience is actually blessing your character with more strength, resilience, and power to evolve and inspire others along the way.
