Voices and Vibes: Virtual Vision Board Bash!
When was the last time you delighted in your sense of wonder and allowed yourself to dream?
So much of the transformation I’ve been experiencing the past few years has been internal and invisible: a peace in my nervous system supported by living in areas where my doors can be unlocked; where mail packages can sit on the porch for days, untouched; where my nearest neighbors are deer and foxes. The joy of creative fulfillment. The security of relationships as they deepen and grow. The active, living practice of gratitude. The discipline of noticing what’s working, and building on that. Enchantment grounded in truth, in a world where disillusionment, deceit, and despair threaten to bombard and deaden the senses.
What consistently keeps you awakened and inspired? What visions pull you forward? Most likely you brush your teeth, shower your body, lotion your skin at regular intervals. What is your psychic / spiritual hygiene for nurturing your reverence for the ineffable?
One aspect of my own regimen is creating an annual vision board. I started off with a physical posterboard, but now I prefer digital vision boards as living documents that I can update as current visions are fulfilled, and new thoughts inspire me to translate them into imagery.
Writing down New Years resolutions never did much for me, because it overworked my mind and disengaged my heart – the worst of both worlds. It wasn’t until I explored vision boards, and combined it with my passion for word sound power – affirmations, mantras, chants, incantations, the spoken / sung word – that I found a potent mix that did wonders for me, and will work for you too if the combination of sound and vision based manifestation practice resonates for you.
