Live Your Dreams Now
Life is fleeting…a blink of an eye…yet many of us keep pushing off the things in life we know in our hearts we would love to experience AND came here to experience.
Tomorrow is no guarantee, but you do have this moment.
Express the things you’ve wanted to share with others, do something courageous toward your dreams, experience something new you haven’t, and savor what you do have.
It may make all the difference and begin to write a new chapter that begins the first day you really start living. 
White Conch and a Dream

My Bodh Gaya Buddha Asian Statue in the garden – Bodh Gaya is considered the most holy place on Earth for followers of the Buddhist faith and the place where Gautama Buddha is said to have obtained Enlightenment
Dream time has been SO potent these days. I’ve always been a very complex, vivid, and creative dreamer, but something about the energy and experiences more recently has been amped up and really shifting gears. The dreams are becoming more reality than the waking reality.
As a Pisces, I live daily with the energy that seems to be around and more accessible to others right now with Neptune acting out of people’s first house these days – that of seeming to be lost to others and living in a dream – but oh if they only knew. This state of oneness and painting constant new shades of grey is something we are all learning to claim more access and connection to.
And my dreams are where much processes, connections and healing take place, prophetic experiences reveal themselves, telepathy happens, and a lot of transformative journeying takes form.
There’s been an upswing of even more prophetic and remote viewing dreams, people coming into my dreams and my seeing/receiving messages exactly pertaining to what they are going through, seeing things that I physically never have in this life, but exactly relate to specifics that when I share my dreams with those involved turn out to be accurate realities, and then the amp up of cosmic dreams and this spiritual rebirthing taking place.
There were several nights in a row recently where I was having a series of powerful dreams, which included September 17th’s dream I posted about: White Jaguar and a Dream. The next night I was in Cancun, Mexico receiving pieces to the night before’s dream. Then the day after, a powerful remote viewing dream that included a dear friend of mine and quite the message of what had been our mission in this life. It included seeing a house that no longer stands and the sacred artifacts that used to be in it that have now disappeared. All of which I had no idea about and I was able to detail, especially one particular piece, as well as the message of what evolved in the dream in terms of its meaning for what is happening in this vortex area and what needs to be done.
The next night after, on September 20th, I had this dream that I will be sharing momentarily.
I hadn’t had opportunity until now to write about it, but it lingers with me very clearly…they all do when they are important and vivid. And since, I’ve also received some interesting connections with it, although I still have not fully processed its meaning in entirety, as that is an evolving journey and I’m learning it comes through my sharing, staying aware to the signs, as well as hearing from others who have been expressing the vivid connections that reveal more when they read what I write about them.
But first, one thing I didn’t mention in my White Jaguar and a Dream post, in case it wasn’t inferred enough, was that there was a cosmic/extraterrestrial connection to what was happening and those who attended around me. Some people I have spoken to had understood that to be what I was detailing, but I thought I would be clear about that now.
I won’t go into specifics, but one thing I’ve been feeling lately is that my original mission (and that of others) is complete and it’s time to move into the next phase, which is even more aligned with essence and bringing about the reality and true nature of the cosmic emanation that is me in this human body.
I do not always clearly see my cosmic family in detail, but am aware of their presence. Sometimes they come as they are, and other times they come through in forms that will symbolically be meaningful for the dream remembrance, which I believe happened in this latest one. I do believe we are being assisted in our journeys we chose before incarnating, being prepared for what’s next, as well as communicating mutually valuable contributions from what is learned and needed.
I’m quite accustomed now to vulnerably sharing, as I feel the importance of that increasingly. So it doesn’t much matter to me if others think that sounds crazy, as we all have our own experience of what is reality and what we know, based on personal experience. This is the only gauge one can use IS personal experience. Simply put, if you experience something someone else hasn’t, or at least something they don’t remember ever having experienced, that doesn’t mean it is not real. There is currently no measure to prove things that are not tangible to those who need tangible or scientific proof, except personal experience. And we who experience and know certain things simply need to come to terms with our own peace about that.
However, all of that is changing little by little. So hang in there everyone who is experiencing the “different and unexplainable” and know that others are as well, but just may be afraid to talk about it or don’t understand it yet enough to feel comfortable to.
With that said, I’ll now move into sharing about the dream from the 20th that I found quite fascinating. I’ll write it without much interpretation, as I’m finding it best to just share what happens and what some of the puzzle pieces are, but allowing interpretation to be as individual as the experiences of these dreams actually are.
The dreams always emerge from where ever I need to remember them starting and end where ever I need to remember them ending. This dream began as an interweaving of symbolic every day events, infused with other-worldly events in the guise of the every day. Again, likely to serve its message and purpose in a way that would be of most benefit, as well as in a way that would provide the most learning in the process of ciphering through the layers for meaning.
So, I remember it was very early in the morning and that I had a tight schedule of things to do before I was heading out on a flight somewhere (a flight apparently that I had either missed or had been delayed once already, reminding me of my travel to Alaska). My flight was around 8:30 am or so, or that’s when I needed to be at the airport, and I had an appointment in the morning to get to at around 5:30 or 6:00 am.
In my dream I was getting ready to leave from a place I was staying/living, which was elsewhere than where I am currently and unfamiliar to me, and I was going over my timing in the dream, ensuring it will all mesh to get me to my flight promptly. I had the feeling that the appointment I had was something like going to a chiropractor or acupuncturist…something of that nature. And I knew it would only be an hour and I’d be out and on my way.
I think I either was taken by taxi and dropped off, or the person I was traveling with dropped me off on their way to do other things until the flight. Which ever it was, I arrived at some kind of facility or tall building that felt to be in a city, and which had many spaces/”offices” in it, but I was going to the one that was of some kind of alternative healing place. I remember walking into a room immediately from the street – not really sure how I got there upon entering the door – which was quite sizable, but pretty stark and white. Seemed like a dark journey to arrive to the room.
It had couches set up in a circular or oblong sort of shape with table at center. I remember taking a seat on one couch at mid-point center and there were six others present – three females and three males.
Each of them sat at a different couch, some were smaller like love seats, and others a bit larger, like the one I was on, but they were very plain, stark, modern and again, the room was without decoration. I remember that two of the males were seated (the head one in front of me and the other to my right), as were the three females (two of them together on one couch to my left and one to the right between both of the males), but one male seemed to be in the background behind me as an observer.
I couldn’t make any details out of their physical appearance, as I mentioned that doesn’t always seem to be as important as the presence I know to be there. Except for one of them, whom I later ascertained was the head of this group, seemed to be of Asian origin. This was one of the males. I remember dark black hair (or just black at top of head) and just the essence of Asian, but actually did not see details of his face. So truly it may have been energetic more than anything of what he symbolized.
I realized that what I thought to be an appointment for one thing, turned out to be quite another. I had closed the door on one reality and entered a very different one when I walked into this room.
What took place next was a long session of me sharing a lot of important things about my experiences. Things that I had gone through in this life, my processes, what I had learned….I knew this is what I was there for and not to receive some “adjustment” or any kind of “treatment”. I just kept communicating and sharing until I felt done, as if I knew exactly what they were wanting to know and hear. Not sure that this actually happened verbally, or if it was telepathic, as it was happening fast.
I just kept relaying to them all of the important things I’d experienced and learned, observed and processed, meanings, feelings, etc. And while I did so, they listened intently, but they also were engaging in their own process. There was a sense of them being like scientists or record keepers.
What I noticed was that each of them had a large notepad on their lap that they would mark on every time I spoke about something in particular or reached a certain place that gave cause to write about. They did this in unison throughout the entire time I shared. And although I hadn’t at first been aware this is what I had come to do, it was apparent I knew what I was there to do.
Finally I reached the end of my sharing and the head Asian essence being gestured to the others. At that point they all turned their large notepads around and I then saw they were actually large drawing pads of blank white paper and on each of them was a simple, clean drawing.
Here is the fascinating part….the drawing on every single one of their pads was the same. And it became clear to me what they had been engaged in. As I spoke, they were tuning in to the essence and vibration of what I shared and with each important part of the process they would make one vibrationally matched curve, line, piece of the drawing. And the next one would connect to that and so on and so forth. So that by the end of my sharing, it created a complete drawing of something that matched the vibration of the entirety of my share, piece by piece put together like a puzzle.
This reminded me of what I do with the sacred tattoo designs for clients. But this was something that they had been training in, under the direction and guidance of the head Asian being. So I realized while they were themselves facilitating in this process, they were also under tutelage, and I also realized that I was teaching them as well through the information I was bringing, as well as this process that was one I knew well.
But back to the drawing. I clearly saw that every one of their drawing pads had the exact same picture, which was a simple line drawing of a large conch shell, but specifically drawn in such a manner that would trigger me to remember where I’d seen this particular conch before. I realized already the symbolism of a conch, but there was more to this, as it wasn’t just a simple conch.
So, what I had shared created a conch, with a spiral top that was a little more elegant than what you see pictured at the link below with almost a crown-like effect to its spiral. Yet it looked much like this one (see first photo on the right when opening) that I’m sharing, except for being on its side (there’s also a lot of good info here as well):
I’ll get back to that later.
After seeing this I then engaged the head being in some conversation and he then proceeded to show me another image that he had on his personal drawing board, separate to the simple conch, as he communicated the words “Twin Tower” to me. This is very similar to what he showed me, but I remember it in color:
Although, for some reason I was seeing it more like two of these elongated conch shells intersecting like the ribbons here and separating at top with two spirals, but stemming from one central, shared part. But when I saw this image later, it was so similar and triggered a connection instantly, hence it may be what I was meant to be reminded of, but also having layers of meaning due to how I saw it, and the phrase he used to describe it.
I remember inquiring as to his suggestion with this, as we discussed something relating to the unity within self of our parts, light and dark integration, and even twin souls.
Some might say it is reference to the “Twin Towers”…well, that might be, but I specifically remember it as “Twin Tower” – singular, not plural. It felt to be like a Tarot card that simply by its image it would be like a key to unlock mysteries within and also was specifically conveying something for me.
So something to ponder, but I was feeling our conversation was more the meaning we discussed and it was evident we could convey much through symbolism, images, and vibrations – far more than need of words. Of course not surprising to me and most welcome.
I then remember the “other reality” calling me. And it prompted me to look at the time, which I then realized was way past my time to get to the airport, as rather than the 1 hour I thought I’d be there, I’d been there for more like 5 or 6 hours. Time flew by in what seemed like a timeless moment, and I knew I had missed my flight, again.
And there my dream ends, as far as what I remember, but it is still as vivid as when it happened, just like the other dream I shared.
Later that day, after I woke from being deeply within dream state, I was at the beach at the water’s edge looking at rocks and shells. I picked up a spiral shell with most of its inner mother of pearl revealed, from the outer brown layer that had worn off. And it then hit me that I knew this conch and the image from my dream, so I did a search on my cell phone and immediately found what I was looking for.
This symbol they had drawn was one of the Eight Auspicious Symbols of Buddhism. Was this the reason for the “Asian” essence of the one head male being?
The symbol is the Right-coiled White Conch (there is that “white” again, like in my other dream with the white Jaguar) – in Sanskrit shankha; Tibetan dung dkar.
This conch symbolizes “the spread of the teachings of the Dharma (principle of cosmic order/natural universal laws and those in harmony with it and the teachings of Buddha) and an awakening from the slumber of ignorance.”
When it spirals to the right this is rare and considered especially sacred, believed to echo the celestial motion of the sun, moon, planets, and stars, as well as the hair whorls on Buddha’s head, his fine body hairs, the conch-like swirl of his navel, symbolizes his throat and melodious voice, and long curl at his third eye (interesting that just the day before I had completed a sacred tattoo design for a client where I was drawn to include a Buddha head with spiral curl at third eye). It also “appears as an auspicious mark on the soles, palms, limbs, breast, or forehead of a divinely endowed being”.
The right coiling white conch also symbolizes the deep and far-reaching melodious sound of the truth of Dharma teachings that spreads in all directions and when heard, not only awakens, but urges accomplishing your own and others’ welfare.
In Tibetan Buddhism, today, it is a musical instrument that calls together spiritual assemblies and contains holy water. Different colored conch shells symbolize different things. White represents the Brahmin caste (priests). The conch is also an “emblem of power, authority and sovereignty whose blast is believed to banish evil spirits, avert natural disasters, and scare away poisonous creatures”.
Nitin Kumar further explains in “The Eight Auspicious Symbols of Buddhism – A Study in Spiritual Evolution“:
“A constant intriguing factor in the imagery of the Great Buddha is the group of three curving conch-like lines on his neck. In the varied world of Buddhist art this is one common characteristic that shines across all aesthetic traditions. Like other Buddhist motifs, it too is soaked in rich spiritual symbolism. It is said to represent Buddha’s deep and resonant voice, through which he introduced his followers to the path of dharma.
The association of the conch shell with Buddha’s melodious voice, sweet with the tenor of his uplifting message, has both an archetypal simplicity and universal appeal. It is a hard-hitting symbol which associates a primordial object (deemed sacred in all ancient traditions) with the actual physical body of the Buddha. Indeed, though much of Buddhist philosophy is esoteric, when it comes to aesthetics, Buddhist art is justly famous for giving a physical, easily recognizable representation to abstract philosophical truths.”
I then also realized that this image may even be in my home, remembering the two unique, imported, hand-painted Tibetan end tables I have in the living room, which not long ago I realized had some of the Eight Auspicious Symbols of Buddhism on them, including a Tibetan Buddha on the front. So I went to look at them when I got home and wouldn’t you know it….there I found a large conch on the left side of both end tables, just like the one above.
So yes, another very interesting dream sequence journey that has so many layers I’m not even touching upon here, as well as some personal synchronous messages. What it all means is an evolution of discovery.
So much takes place when our minds are at rest, allowing our souls to journey expansively. The key is in bringing that which we learn within, into our daily experience for integrative empowerment. I also believe in the power of sharing, as a bridge for communication and connection, which is why I share some of the things that take place, as I know the collective reach of all that we experience.
I’m finding dream time to be something I look forward to every night when I go to bed, as I know the journeys will be rich with layers and deep with meaning to infuse into which ever reality I embrace. The more we open to the possibilities, the more possibilities we experience.
White Jaguar and a Dream
What a difference a night can make. Two nights ago, on the 17th of September I had another of my fascinating active “dream” experiences.
Leading up to this in the days prior, I had been feeling a bit out of sorts, which happens when change is upon me and a lot of things come at me at once. It’s that void space where things are processing – old and new, you sift through these voices in order to weigh and balance with discernment, explore new feelings that challenge the old, travel the realms of possibilities, and even experience the temporary confusion, dissolution, and throwing up of your hands in surrender.
It made perfect sense to me, as I know myself and my cycles, hence I do not get anxious or worry when things get turned upside down. I’m also aware that I’ve been following the nudge to pull back more, detach, and to be deeply within my experience for greater amplification of my essence energy. Plus, there’d been the acknowledgment of Gaia’s transition and feeling a bit like a fish out of water since I tend to live in the new before it happens. So when I look at the current reality it can be temporarily disheartening, wishing the physical to catch up with the non-physical. Not to mention, I just “know” this very large transformation is happening and feeling it in every ounce of my being – changes that include the transmutation process into a new vibrational experience.
How it all is to look, I’m not fully sure, nor is it necessary that I know. Just taking the steps that I am able to, each day, toward it.
Are they simply foreshadowing these times of change and all that is evolving into a new experience “here”?
Or am I receiving a personal message of timeliness and the presence as “this me” in “this life” is riding the sands of the hour glass…sifting almost fully through to the other side before a complete transition and paradigm/dimensional shift takes place into “there”?
All that is clear is change. And right now, that’s all I’m privy to with clarity, and all I need to do is to make sure I’m living fully as the vibration of my essence in every moment.
I’m grateful to understand my processes, as well as for the assistance I receive from beyond Earth to align with, and anchor, the change. And in the meantime, it’s about embracing and loving the colorful process, while keeping on top of remaining balanced for well being.
That brings me back to the interesting “waking” dream of two nights ago. When a significant dream shows up, I feel drawn to acknowledge and document it, as layers continue to reveal themselves in that process. I’m still deciphering and interpreting this one, as there can be many meanings to it. However, where the journey of exploring some of the symbolism took me, was very interesting. And while they may not be “the” meaning, they definitely are shedding some insight I was meant to see in the process.
For me, this was not just a dream, but was a reality elsewhere. Yet, even if one takes it simply as a symbolic journey, I have had many dreams where really positive work is taking place that helps to shift my vibration in the now, physically remove obstructions in my ethereal/physical body, assist in new upgrades, downloads, and spiritual surgery. I’ve woken up remembering, physically feeling the shift, or sometimes waking in the process of a physical purge (literally hacking up something energetically – like dry hacking) to remove the old. All of which has always been hugely beneficial and of course only happens because I choose so.
Wednesday night’s dream was one of these.
It still lingers quite clearly for me, so I know I am to remember. I recall I was to have a procedure done (which was multi-layered in effect) and was being escorted in some sort of a facility where something was going to take place with my brain and crown chakra, connected with higher self. It was a small place..seems like I remember darkness in the doorways behind, but the rooms were lit..smallish, square rooms. I was taken into one for some kind of scanning of my brain and what I recognized to be not only similar to receiving a CAT scan, but then some sort of surgery thereafter.
I do not remember the procedure itself, but remember after it, my head was bald and I had this sense of “rewiring” haven taken place and feeling refreshed. I don’t remember leaving the facility, but do then remember being escorted to another place to recuperate and rest/integrate after it. There were several around me, leading me to this larger towering structure that felt otherworldly, although reminded me of the Burj Al Arab Jumeirah luxury hotel in Dubai. I was taken to the highest and, what I heard them say, was the best room in the entire facility. This is where I was to rest and renew from the procedure and felt I might be there a while.
This place was vast, expansive, and very light and pure in energy. It was to be my home for a while and did feel very much like that. A place of transition and renewal. How long I was to be there, I’m not sure, as I never saw the end of it, but I remember feeling like a child in terms of explorative, high energy, although with all my accumulated soul knowledge. Of course I was feeling fine and wanted to be up and about, but was told I was to rest and stay off my feet. Interestingly, my mom was in the dream, but felt more like her presence, energy, rather than the her now. And she was there to see that I’d get my rest as prescribed in order for the changes to take root. I had a lot of pure, vibrant, active energy, but I was needing to just relax and so she told me so and took me to the large bed of white sheets by the expansive windows, and tucked me in (much like she had when I was growing up).
This room had wall-to-wall windows with an amazing view of water all around, although didn’t feel like an ocean necessarily, but more like rivers and lakes. There seemed to be different passageways in the water that went off in different directions from the main source. The way this building was positioned, was like at the center of it all…the nucleus. There was a sense of motion, although not sure that things were actually moving.
After my mom tucked me in and went off to do things, I remember a smallish white cat appearing and jumping on the bed to lay with me. Her body directly against mine and with half of her body across mine. When I say smallish, I don’t mean like a normal small cat…I mean smallish in comparison to a large adult jaguar, which I then realized this cat was. She was white with black spots and I knew it was a wild cat. Much larger than a domestic cat, but smaller than a full grown wild cat. I’d say she was likely about three feet long.
At first I thought her an odd cat, when I’d only briefly watched her appear and then make her way to me. But I soon realized she was no ordinary cat, and in fact was a small white jaguar. It had kind of a thinner sleek coat, but then later I remember these very plush paws on me and some areas that reminded me of the snow leopards and their thicker coats. But I believe it was evidence of it being a younger jaguar and still having more of that plushy baby’s coat.
The dream ends, well at least from where my memory leaves me of details, at me laying in bed recuperating with my white jaguar companion nuzzled into me. She was very loving and playful and was going to be watching over me.
I started this share off with “what a difference a night can make,” which I’ll now expound on.
I mentioned how I’d been in an off place and feeling out of sorts, as well as some disillusionment and sadness, but when I woke up the next morning (yesterday) I was feeling like something had lifted and felt new invigoration and renewed peace/optimism. It carried forth throughout the day, and continues today, and I acknowledged it directly was related to this dream. On top of that, the weather shifted the same day I felt this refreshing switch flip on, going from the daily, so-very-hot 90’s (hard to work at home without an a/c) to cooling down to high 70’s and low to mid 80’s between then and now.
So this was an interesting reflection of the internal and external mirroring and balancing out.
But of course I’ve been exploring the personal meaning for me of this dream and saw the reflections of things I’ve been feeling and even mentioned above, including foreshadowing big change, transmutation, turning within, and even a physical transition, as I felt like me, but not the me now – an expanded, reinvigorated version.
Everyone will have their own interpretations, but remember that the meaning of most importance is what resonates for you.
I’m not going to go into all of what I’ve received personally here, but I will explore one aspect of the dream, which is the white jaguar and the interesting places it took me.
I’m very connected to animals, as you may already know, but I’m also very connected to jaguar energy. Afterall, I wear two as my own sacred tattoos (one each on my left and right ankles – a male and a female) – representing the ways I walk through life. Coincidentally, when I hike, I feel very much like a jaguar especially on downhills and have noted this often.
I found it interesting that in the last few months I’ve had significant dreams with one very connected animal showing up in each of them, and they turn out to be Nestor’s essence within the animal body. I’m feeling this jaguar was too.
But a white jaguar!? This is very new to me, as mostly the ones I’ve associated with are black. So I really wasn’t sure of the meaning, other than knowing what white can usually symbolize, such as purity, cleansing, innocence, clarity, new beginnings, wholeness, truth, enlightenment, awakening, and protection.
However, the journey of exploring this revealed an interesting web of a story for me, along with interesting thoughts on the symbolism. Some of which I knew, and much I did not. I’ll only concentrate on the symbolism that stood out and spoke to me in relation to the personal meanings from my dream, rather than expound on all of the jaguar symbolism, which you can Google for yourself.
White cats represent heightened spiritual awareness and “cats”, in general, represent feminine power, esoteric knowledge, and spiritual guardianship. White cats also symbolize tender love that you feel for a person and dreaming of them can signify good luck in creativity and spiritual matters.
Of course jaguars are sacred to the Mayans, Aztecs, and Incas and I have strong ancient ties to Mayan and Incan times. Supposedly, jaguar women were known to be at the “top of the pyramid of power” and the jaguar symbolizes getting “to the heart” of things – Mayan art depicts jaguars as holding the human heart.
Interestingly, white, more than black, is often traditionally associated with death in many cultures around the world, as well as mourning. These are cultures where death means the end of one life and the beginning of another. So this moving forward to a new experience of life could be symbolic of completion of a cycle in life, or referencing an actual transition into the eternal soul life beyond this particular life.
Synchronously, a lot of “white” clothing has been drawing me to wear it recently. Actually, lol, I’m wearing a white tank top and white shorts right now. 🙂
But these changes can be about new travels ahead, a physical move to a new home or area, change in career direction, and new relationships – could this be a foreshadowing of something I’ve been feeling in these areas?
White is also considered sacred to certain gods and is associated with the male/yang energy. Black is the female/yin energy – this I knew.
White was the symbol of the soul, especially in Egypt. It was also the color of the great serpent. To Norse the white worm was the one chewing the tree of life, Fafnir.
Jaguars are guardians of inter-dimensional doorways.
Jaguar medicine carries clarity of vision and the ability to “see” the roads within chaos and understand the patterns of chaos. It has the ability to face fears and to move without fear in the darkness. Because of its very keen vision, they can move into unknown places and see beyond what the physical eyes perceive, which speaks to psychic vision. This is where their association with getting to the heart of things comes from, as their ability to see during the night imparts their ability to look into the depths and shadows of the human heart. And with the binocular vision that cats have to have each eye work itself independently, this offers depth of perception and to see with balanced perception.
They also carry shape shifting energy, herald deep soul work, and personal empowerment as you reclaim your power. Jaguars share with you the foreknowledge of things to come.
In Mayan mythology, the jaguar was the ruler of the Underworld, night sun, and darkness. The Mayans built temples to the jaguar god, as it was second in the pantheon only to the serpent god. There is a Temple of the Jaguar at Chichen Itza, which I only make note of because last night’s dream took me to Cancun, Mexico where Chichen Itza is, as well as specifically named Playa del Carmen (love when I get specifics in dreams), which is directly across from Cozumel and where I’ve taken buses from to get to Tulum. So the Mayan energy ties of this area were prevalent in dream time. (this will make sense as I continue)
This seemed also to be a continuation dream to the jaguar symbolism and where it led me in my explorations today, AFTER both dreams. Also interesting to note is that the temples in Cancun I’ve visited three times in this life, which is one of the most repeat travel areas I’ve journeyed to in this life.
To Mayans, the jaguar’s spotted skin represents the stars shining in the night sky, perhaps speaking to the illumination they provide when you embrace the integrative journey into the darkness. The Mayans saw jaguar as the earth father, calling him “Jaguar Sun” – the hidden sun – that reigned over the animals and all that is sacred on earth.
The Mayan word for Jaguar is “Ix”, pronounced ‘eesh’. And here took another personal twist.
You can calculate your Mayan sacred glyph (astrological sign) in terms of “count” (for example “Tzolkin”). In terms of the Tzolkin calendar I’m “Caban” or “Red Earth”. But, in terms of the “Dreamspell” calendar that Jose Arguelles created in 1987 through a reinterpretation of the Mayan cycles in a modern context to get an energetic map or “Galactic signature”, I am “Ix” or the “White Cosmic Wizard”. I have connected with the meaning and energetic signature of both, hence I wear both sacred glyphs on my skin as sacred tattoos, but I have always felt an inner resonance with “Ix” placing the glyph on my throat chakra, as the empowered way I uniquely and creatively expressive myself.
Herein lies the connection, as the sign “Ix” is represented by the jaguar, as shared above.
Without going into all of the symbolism of “Ix”, this particular connection seemed key and of course represents the same things above about prophecy, clairvoyance and the ability to see in the dark like jaguars. Is it no wonder, I shared that physical vision is the sense I would be willing to give up if I had to choose, as I feel I truly “see” without my eyes.
Anyway, to take this Mayan thread a bit further, I also wear the Mayan Moon Goddess, “Ix Chel”, at my heart chakra as a tattoo (she’s often depicted holding a rabbit, which my image does – some saying this may depict a YOUTHFUL Ix Chel) Long story on that connection, but when looking at white jaguar symbolism I came across this interesting information that tied this in as well.
She’s also a jaguar goddess by her name and is often depicted with jaguar claws instead of hands, and sometimes a jaguar pelt – it is said that this is the AGED version of Ix Chel. Hmmmm…
It’s assumed that if the name was of Yucatan origin, then “chel” could mean “rainbow.” Sometimes she’s called “Lady Rainbow” or “White Goddess”.
In the stories told of Ix Chel, it is said she bore the Sun God four “jaguar” sons/gods that moved through the night unseen. The story also shares that she spent many nights on her sacred island of Cozumel supporting and protecting women through their pregnancies and childbirth – a bridge for birth and rebirth. In the early 16th century, Maya women would travel to the sanctuary of Ix Chel on the island of Cozumel, which was considered the most important place of pilgrimage after Chichen Itza, seeking blessings of a fruitful marriage. The smaller island, Isla Mujeres, that is north of Cozumel (Island of Women), was devoted to the worship of Ix Chel.
What does it all mean? I’m piecing that together still, but it definitely is fascinating to connect dots and explore the rich depths that come through what may seem like nothing but a wild dream.
And for me, I in fact know this dreamscape experience also DID take place on another dimensional plane, as the sensations and feelings are carried vividly and felt strongly in the present.
Again, feeling like a full circle spiral taking place in my life, as it is my Mayan remembrances that flooded in for me many, many years ago, which was a catalyst for one of the huge leaps in my spiritual journey and started to unravel the web. And having it come through this little “dreamspell” – pun intended 😉 – was quite interesting.
Now I get to connect the dots and follow where ever the journey takes me, in what ever form that is to be in, having that peaceful knowingness from my dream of being protected, assisted, and watched over for the transitions to come.
Oh, what a beautiful web we weave, when first we practice to perceive. 😉
Amazing Dream Tower at Nanjing Opening Ceremony
I thought this stunning performance went so beautifully with the recent “Dream” theme of last month’s August Challenge, which culminated in yesterday’s 11:11 group Reiki support I gifted to all who partcipated, to help actualize those dreams into being.
Everyone seems to be engaged in some way with their dreams right now, including myself, and this is synchronously showing up all around.
Even on Monday, as we went on a harbor cruise for Labor Day, I snapped this photo above of a sea lion friend immersed in dreaming, as he came to rest on this boat, so divinely named, “Dream on” – conveying a continued message to keep the dream alive, reach higher, have faith, and keep building, as it WILL come!
I hope you feel inspired to limitless possibilities by this beautiful choreography of mid-air ballet at the Nanjing, China Opening Ceremony, which symbolized the “building of the dream” – one of the key themes for Nanjing 2014, but for the collective as well.
Dare to Dream
The “Dream” theme continues to be a guiding force right now and this little message felt important to share:
Nothing happens without a dream…people are afraid to speak their dream/s out loud, worried about disappointment, failure, ridicule, or perhaps even believe they aren’t worthy of having any, or that they even are entitled to it.
YOU are a creative being by virtue of your existence and the only thing that dictates your worthiness is YOURSELF.
Today, spend some time tuning in to your heart and ask yourself what dream you would like to create. It doesn’t have to be huge and it doesn’t have to be the end-with-all final result of life – there isn’t any such thing.
Just start off with something small and allow it to evolve.
Gift yourself the ability to freely imagine and then anything you want, just do it.
Life will conspire to align with your dream, IF YOU conspire to passionately align with it.

Alaska, Adventure & Aquarian Full Moons – Follow the Dreams No One but You Can See
Beginning tomorrow afternoon, I will be away for about half the month of August from the 7th and not back to things until the 20th. It’s time for a little “Tania” time to nurture and fuel my own needs and dreams.
While it’s so important to balance personal needs on a daily basis, I find that fully removing myself at times is necessary. And being a free-spirited explorer by heart, it’s a necessity to my soul to be an Earth and Cosmic traveler.
I’m really excited for this explorative time away, deepening into nature immersion of the great wilderness of Alaska and tuning in more deeply with myself from where I left off in Bimini supporting the group energy.
I’m greatly looking forward to connecting with our beautiful, ever-giving Mother Earth, and listening to the messages she will whisper through this vast part of the country and the untamed splendor, wonder, solitude, and grandeur she offers for exploration there. I welcome and honor this opportunity to connect with the array of her animal children and to open to the adventure this rich part of the country has to share.
There are so many animal friends to be surprised by in Alaska from land, to air, to water…I’m like a child on Christmas morning awaiting what life will unwrap during my time there.
I couldn’t ask for a more perfect reflection to tune into the raw and natural part of myself – my true voice – and to explore my own dreams to see where they guide me.
And so far it seems that Spirit has been conspiring to make this a special trip, as some really incredible synchronicities and magickal alignments have taken place to support it.
“The biggest adventure you can take is to live the life of your dreams.” ~Oprah Winfrey
We’ve put together a land-based adventure of Alaska, full of experiences sure to take my breath away and remind me of how when I live my dreams, that every day is awe-inspiring. And as always, I will be connecting with the collective and tuning in to energetic work I can assist on the grid.
It’s also very cool that not only will the days be filled with long hours of sunshine – currently sunrise is 5:45 am and sunset is 10:24pm – but there will be the illumination of a Full Moon during this time as well. So a lot of “light” shining and bringing to “light” things as a supportive theme partner for my journey. Not only will I see the conscious, but also the deeper, darker, unconscious, which is perfect for integration, balance, and wholeness.
Full Moon energies begin about 5 – 7 days before the actual fullness occurs, and so we are already leading into this Aquarian-sparked experience now, since the Full Moon is on the 10th. So, this can be an intense time, with closure coming to a head in any or all areas of your life, but this is in order to create a new and fresh start. Full Moons also herald greater passion to stir from within you, which alerts you to your own inner desires and aligning you with more focus and clarity for bringing something fresh into your life.
This Aquarian Full Moon is also one of three summer Super Moons that have occurred in a row, which is when the Moon is closets to the Earth. Sun is in Leo which, combined, focuses on the now, personal identity, leadership qualities, consciousness, creative self-expression and inspiration, heart generosity, and fiery self-confidence to bring things into being. While Moon in Aquarius, combined, highlights the past, intuition, unconscious stirrings, nurturing bigger picture humanitarian and altruistic expressions of service, feelings of independence, freedom, uniqueness, unconventionality and innovative vision, and rebelling into individualistic truth with determination.
So while Full Moons can turn on the emotional intensity, this is also tempered with the emotional detachment of Aquarius that helps bring objectivity and diversity to what is felt. Some people may feel like outsiders because they see differently and with rationality that comes from a place of knowing what is good for the soul. We experience a balancing that takes us through our individuality into how this translates and can be embraced as a higher and enduring soul mission in the bigger picture.
Again, this feels aligned with where I’ve felt guided to make adjustments and new choices that will tweak things into current vibrational alignment. And this involves the cultivation of dreams, which in essence are the soul service stirrings seeded within each of us.
I wish everyone a beautiful couple of weeks and a magickal Full Moon. I may post here and there when something inspires me while I’m away, but I will not be available for work during this time.
In the meantime, to support you with your own dreams, this months’ inspired special is a “Dream” challenge. You can read more about it below.
It’s been a busy first half of the year and after early September I’ll be utilizing the Fall into Winter seasonal shifts, to shift gears a bit myself and implement my current heart’s callings, as these are ever-evolving. So a little personal project time will be in store, in rhythm with the time of year’s harvesting, in order to cultivate from the stillness within.
Sometimes life is about risking everything for a dream no one can see but you.
May you walk in the power of your free will, and bask in the light of love and magick always.
August Inspired Special – The “Dream” Challenge & How You Can Enter
I have a feeling that August is going to speed by, which is more reason I’ll be savoring every moment. It’s a busy month and being that I am going to be away for half of it, this month’s inspired special is going to be a challenge instead – one that you can enter and not only further your own personal dreams, but be supported and rewarded for it.
What is the Challenge? And How do I Enter?
The theme of the challenge is, “Dreams” – something I am focusing on myself this month especially while I’ll be away, as I reassess my own new dreams and begin implementing them.
I feel the focus of personal dreams is a big one right now for everyone and that we are stepping more into identifying what our hearts desire so that we can shine our lights brighter and embody our essence more. In so doing, we are examples for others and living in service from the authenticity of who we are.
The way to enter the August challenge is to send in a short email to me at tania@taniamarie.com describing one personal dream you have currently and how you intend to bring that dream into being.
You might include your fears around it and any blocks or resistance you have about it.
You must send it to this email address so I have them all in one place – please DO NOT message your dream in the comment section of this post.
There will be a group challenge gift and an individual drawing gift.
This is a way to vocalize your dream out loud and to sit down and actually ask yourself, “What is my dream? What do I really wish to create and have in my life? What has my heart been longing to do?” – questions not often asked and questions I’ve found many have difficulty even asking themselves, let a lone answering.
Often it brings up a blank and this is something that indicates fear and/or neglect of self love and worth.
Yes, you are worthy of your dreams. But the first step is in actually acknowledging them and then embracing your value to have it as your experience.
I’m hoping this will open up your own personal dialogue, help you in assessing where you are in life and what you truly want, and reflect on things you value and have been neglecting. Putting this into writing is powerful and when you actually spend the time to reflect and state out loud what your dreams are, you are then initiating it into being.
You can’t expect a dream to come true, if you can’t even say what your dream is, let alone follow it.
So, your share will involve, as stated, the dream you have right now. It does not have to be some ultimate end result you think you need to have for life, just simply a dream you wish for right now in terms of maybe a new job you want to create, changing jobs/life’s work, a project you’ve always dreamed of doing, starting up, or being involved in, living in a new location/home, creating more time in your life for your creative passions, having more loving friendships or relationships, etc.
This also involves sharing the step/steps you are going to take and then actually taking that step or as many steps as you can within this month. So, likely I won’t be receiving your emails until the end of the month, but for sure until at least AFTER you’ve actually taken a step toward creating your dream.
This makes beginning this process at the start of the month perhaps even more important, so that you have time to implement and maybe even might have some kind of amazing share involving how your dream is already in process of manifesting, as magickal things DO indeed happen as you start stating what you intend and desire, start embodying the changes, and start living as if the dream is actualized.
No matter how small or large the steps are, any step forward is effective to bringing about what you desire.
Everyone Is a Winner – What Will I Receive If I Enter?
For anyone who wishes to take this “Dreams” challenge, all entries will be placed into a group pool that will all receive group distant Reiki support from me toward supporting your dreams and helping to remove the blocks and fears behind them.
So EVERYONE who takes the time to write to me, following the guidelines above, will receive a group Reiki distant healing attunement from me (this is a $55 value), which will take place on September 1st.
So you will need to include in your message to me with your drawing, your full name and the city, state, and country (if outside the U.S.) that you reside in.
One Person Will Receive a Special Gift/s….How does that Work and Who will Receive it?
Although everyone will receive group Reiki support, ONLY 1 person will be the recipient of the drawing.
The way the drawing will take place is this:
Since any step is a courageous step, and is relative to each person what courage may mean, as our fears are individually experienced, I can’t assess who took the most courageous steps. So, the way to review these would be by the individual results achieved through steps taken.
So, for the person who achieves within this month, the most results as a direct reflection of their courageous steps taken, they will be the recipient of the gift/s. Results indicate what you have been able to achieve in direct relation to your dream based upon what you have implemented.
For some this may be greater ease and release of hindering blocks that are getting you closer to your dream. For others it may be part of the dream in stages coming together and pieces setting up into place. And for others it may actually be the dream actualized into its beginnings of birthing forward. This is relative to each person, but for each person, the changes implemented will be viewed as to how much the steps have changed you and your experience over the course of this month.
From the entries, I will be thoroughly reading each and choose based on this.
What Will I Receive if My Entry is the One that is Chosen?
This is a very good question…and I almost was going to write in the gift/s received, but then it hit me that sharing this might then be the only factor driving someone to enter.
Hmmm, does that matter? If something motivates, isn’t that productive nonetheless?
Well, yes, it is.
However, I love the idea of doing something without knowing what you will receive, sort of how life actually is or how I feel life was meant to be…you do things just because its an extension of your heart and support of what you find there.
You do things without expectation, needing approval, without attachment, and without the hope of a return. This creates the greatest return, but it comes when you are simply always doing things as the breath of life that fills you. With ease, naturally, and because you know no other way of being.
So, after considering this, I’ve decided that you at least know you’ll receive Reiki support toward your goal, but the individual gift will be revealed to you only upon your receiving it.
If this isn’t motivation enough, then I suppose you might not enter.
If the mystery and surprise of life when you follow your heart and extend your courage just a little bit more IS enough, without expectation and attachment to a result, then I welcome your entries.
I look forward to reading about your dreams and feeling the energetic vibration rise in the collective, as you take those courageous steps toward them!!
