All night I was dreaming of Freediving;

Swimming deep below the surface.

There were many things happening above,

Even storm waves..

But in the calm depths under it all,

Nothing touched me.

I was calm, present, Home.

The ocean or water often represents our emotions,

And the parts of us that are ‘below the surface’.

Diving underneath symbolises an exploration into layers of being that exist beyond outward personality and our familiar frame of mind.

A journey into deeper, often hidden, forms and aspects of ourselves,

And the capacity and potential to experience emotions beyond our current scope.

This dream also expresses the peace and contentment that comes from holding our seat of awareness or sense of self as something deeper than just our reactions and response to what goes on around us.

Of holding the ‘inner witness’ and being able to step back from situations,

Drop into the body and the heart,

And breathe into serenity and trust that we are more than our minds…

More than even our life.

Our essence is as vast and as ancient as the ocean.

Ripples on the surface do not touch the stillness of the deep.

We were born to dive under,

To know who we can be.

We do this every night in our dreams ✨
