Tony and I have worked together for some years. As we live thousands of miles apart, we have developed strategies for communicating with one another. One time, Tony guided us in a meditation where we verbally talked together about building an imaginary structure where we could live together. He asked me what our place would look like, and for me, having an affinity with Native American indigenous ways, I envisioned (1) a small circular lodge with a dirt floor and a fire pit in the middle. Tony kept guiding me to describe the lodge, and I continued to fill in the objects that were found inside, animal skin rugs, baskets, everyday objects for living in those simple ways. Then he was able to add some things he wanted in the lodge and we continued working together to create the space in our ‘joint imagination’. We continued building the lodge over the next few years, adding rooms or spaces for various things. There is a beautiful, calm room for healing, another place with a beautiful natural spring where we can drink or bathe in healing waters. There is a gorgeous room full of silks and pillows for intimacy. We also developed spaces outside the lodge as well. There are two beautiful tropical coves, one with a cave and white sands and another with black sands. There is a small camp on the north side of the lodge with a large fire ring leading off to a northern conifer rainforest in the distance. All of these spaces evolved over time either through guided meditations by the two of us together, or as we individually meditated and then shared what we had done with the other. It was an incredible experience building these sacred spaces together and adding to them through dreaming, and meditations over the years.
As time went on, Tony and I learned that we could take things from our dreams and give them a home in our Lodge. I have lots of dreams of animals, and so I invited many of them to come to share the spaces at our lodge with us and participate in healings as they wish and as needed. There have also been other types of spirits from dreams I have had. I had a dream encounter with a wonderful school of shimmering blue-green Sea Dragons and they now live in the sea off the coves and can be called in for any purpose. I also had a dream about a family of Red Haired Sasquatch, and they now live in the northern rainforest outside the lodge. They are available to Council with us and others at the outdoor fire ring outside of the Lodge.
Over the years then, this DreamLodge has grown into an active space in the Unseen World. Tony and I used to meet there fairly regularly, but as time passed, things changed and he was no longer as present. I still held the space for the Lodge through constant meditation, and continued building spaces and inviting the many spirits I encountered to come and share the healing space with us. I also added other things that came from dreams, like a huge cluster of tanzanite crystals which I was gifted in a dream. I knew upon awakening it was to be used for healing, and I realized, if I moved it into the Lodge it would be available for that purpose.
So then I realized, though Tony was no longer active in the Lodge, it was a real place in the Unseen World and it could be opened up for use by other Beings who wished to do healings. So, I opened it up in the Spirit World for that purpose. As there are many Spirits and Guardians there, such as the Sea Dragons and the Sasquatch, I am confident of the safety of the space. I worked there in this way on my own for close to two years before I was able to tell Tony what had been happening to our Lodge. I think he enjoyed hearing how it had evolved and now he is able to share it again as he wishes.
For me, it will forever be the sacred space in which I can enter the Unseen World and commune with my Spirits. I also do my healings there, for myself, my loved ones and the planet/Mother, etc. It is a sacred space open to all who wish to work for the good of all. I find great comfort knowing that I am secure there, surrounded by so much beauty and love.
So, my belief is that this process of Envisioneering, envisioning building a sacred space either for oneself or with another/others is an amazing tool that can be used by any of us to explore a part of ourselves working with the Unseen World. It has been a wonderful way for me to incorporate the gifts I have been given in my dreams and deep meditations into some structure where I have them accessible to me for healings. I find that these gifts/beings, whether they are animal spirits, mythical creatures, feathers, crystals, whatever, have really thrived by being acknowledged for their abilities and have responded heartily to being invited to share a healing space with all manner of others.
One of the amazing outcomes of this was the building of our DreamLodge, a sacred and safe space in the Unseen World where we can work, relax, heal ourselves and others, do ceremony and commune with our spirits, ancestors and others for the good of all. I am confident this process can be used by individuals, pairs or groups of people, to build structures in the Unseen World that can be very useful to us here as well. I hope that some of you try this process, either on your own or with a partner/partners and use this thread to share with us what you create.
