Eagle Dreams

As I work on my Earth painting in the Creatively Fit Coach training program, I am being shown things in my dreams and soul scribbles that are calling to be included.

The first dream came the night I started the painting. I had painted my outline (actually my husband had painted it! I just curled up in a ball on the canvas!) and filled it in with color...green body, orange flowing hair...but the next morning I woke early recalling a dream in which my mother had painted a beautiful landscape image and instructed me to make it a reality. My mother's painting featured a beautiful water fall cascading down onto purple rocks and, at the top, leaves in golds and oranges. When I woke I had the urge to add all this to my earth painting. I felt that my MOTHER represented the EARTH element and energy, and was showing me what this painting needed.

Now it was time to plant my seed, the intention which I wanted to grow. You can see it here, it is about my business, my soul path work, and about rising to my full potential.

As the painting developed I continued to add images from dreams and soul scribbles.

After a dream in which a passionate and powerful young female artist with red hair (ironic, right, since my earth figure has red hair) told me I needed to "fix my vision." I asked for clarity on this in a soul scribble and got a crocodile. I added this to the painting.

And then a lotus from a meditation.

Recently, I had another dream featuring my mother. She had been given 4 baby eagles by a man who was a master of flight. I was helping her gather the eagles. I felt how young, precious, special, and vulnerable they were. Adding them to the canvas was important. Rather than painting 4 of them, I painted one baby eagle next to the number 4.

The significance of the symbolism of the eagle hit me hard today. Just yesterday when I wrote my post "Fearlessly Calling my Future" I had an ah-ha moment at the very end as I realized that I had to be willng to give up security. This was a HUGE moment for me. I started bawling. I read the post to Jeff and I could not even get through it. When I am moved to tears I know I am on target...the soul message is coming through loud and clear. So today when I painted the baby eagle, I jumped online to look it up. Check this out from pure-spirit.com: "You must have the courage to relinquish stale and comfortable habits and beliefs to soar into unknown realms and new realities - continually expanding your view." I am not sure what the proper letter combo is for a scream, but that is how I felt when I read this. It speaks to so many things..."fixing" my vision, giving up security, and achieving my big huge dream, the one I wrote onto this canvas. And among other things, the number four represents earth. I tell you, the power of this Soul Path work blows me away time and again. I feel tears in my eyes, and my heart is vibrating.

Away we go!!!!
