Abstract
I feel that intuition is an
immediate and indisputable knowing. As the deepest wisdom of the
soul, intuition gives us the broadest and clearest insight into
any situation. The intuitive mind, akin to a laser beam,
incisively goes right to the dream’s bottom line to rapidly reveal
the underlying message. For example, in a dream, you find yourself
standing naked as you chat with a person you casually know.
Logically, this may suggest a desire for intimacy but the
intuitive mind may be telling you: bare yourself, be more
authentic. Or, you may be horrified to dream about killing a
person and your intuitive mind helps you uncover that you wish to
put an end to a difficult relationship. How do you know which
interpretation is correct? Participants will learn how to call on
the intuitive mind to resonate to the valid interpretation.
Our dreams are like
nightly emails that can communicate illuminating insights, help
you resolve seemingly insoluble problems, provide insight into a
puzzling relationship, and even foretell the future so you can
help make your dreams come true. One of the unique techniques for
instantly deciphering this nightly email is my DreamShift method.
Here’s how the DreamShift works. After you record the dream in the
morning, give the dream a title. Then as you reread the dream, let
your intuitive mind reveal one or two salient symbols that will
literally jump forward. Freely associating to this symbol will
instantly clarify the dream message.
For
example, Roz was questioning her wavering friendship with Nelly.
They have been friends since they met in college eight years ago.
Now, however, Roz feels uncomfortable in their relationship, and
can’t quite figure out why. Here is her illuminating dream.
“I
was in a social setting and Nelly was being strong and
intimidating. She pulled out a gun and shot someone. Then she
pointed the gun at me and was going to shoot me. Then Nelly said,
she'll decide whether to spare me. I wasn't completely afraid.
Then another woman came along who held a gun over Nelly.”
Using
her intuition, the pivotal symbol jumping out to Roz was the gun.
She saw how controlling Nelly was in their relationship because
she always called "the shots." Roz was uncomfortable with this
one-sided relationship and planned to talk to Nelly about creating
more give and take interaction in their relationship.
Does
this sound a bit simplistic? It is! Dr. Marcia Emery will share
her DreamShift method which goes right to the bottom line easily
and effortlessly. She has successfully used this method to help
her clients and students unravel the mysteries in any puzzling
dream. During the workshop, we will work with dreams provided by
the Facilitator as well as the dreams the participants bring.
