Building Capacity for Your Dreams

How to identify your edges, widen your capacity, hold more without doing more, and expand smart.

So much of the foundational work that I do with my clients is capacity building. 

You can think about your capacity as your container to hold your life—And I mean the full spectrum of life…your deaths, your relationships, your career, your wealth, your medicine, your magic, your creative projects, children, your dreams, your emotions, your thoughts and beliefs, consciousness, your expression, etc. 

So many of us have big, bold, beautiful, expansive dreams that we wish to weave into the world. 

And maybe you look at those dreams and think that they are inevitable and not so big at all. 

Or maybe just the feeling of one of your dreams sends you into a spiral of fear, insecurity, doubt, and contraction. 

This is a reflection of your capacity. 

Pause right now and write down three dreams you have for your life.

The first dream I want you to write down is something that feels easy. Maybe it’s a creative project you are working on now, and you know it’s just a matter of time before the dream materializes. 

With the second dream you write down, I want you to feel some stretching, meaning it feels just outside your comfort zone. Maybe this is a dream you’ve been holding for a long time, but there are still some fears or contractive feelings that arise when you feel into it. It should feel easy to peer into, but perhaps some hesitation or resistance arises.

And with the third dream you write down, make this extraordinarily expansive and far out. Something that feels way outside your comfort zone and big. Maybe this is the most significant and longest dream you’ve ever had, or maybe it just popped in from Divine Destiny asking you to claim it, but it feels scary or impossible. Maybe you even feel shame or embarrassment to write it down. All of this is good. 

The first dream feels light and easy. You don’t need to stretch your capacity to hold this, as your capacity is already a match. You can feel this by how your nervous system responds to the physical, mental, emotional, and energetic work required to bring this dream into form. 

With the second dream, you feel an edge. Your capacity needs to stretch a bit to match this vision and you have some alignment and clearing work to do to step into it.

With the third dream, your nervous system probably has an immediate response of contraction or impossibility. This is because your capacity cannot show up for this dream at this time. This is ok. These are my favorite dream seeds to work with clients on because tapping into this level of dreaming awakens so much in the body of an oracle, dreamer, and birther of worlds. The contraction that can arise with these dreams is not because you don’t desire it, nor does it mean the dream is not meant for you, but you have more capacity-building to do before this dream can anchor. It may take years, so be patient and stay the course. That is often because these bigger dreams have a divine timing factor at play as well. But when there is this much contraction and “far away-ness” between you and a dream, there is just a lot more threshold work before you can hold it. This means more to let go of, things to let die, and initiations to walk through and step fully into your power as a birther of prophecy.

Whatever visions we want to materialize must match our current capacity, or we must choose to widen that capacity to match them. 

I am going to share with you some ways you can focus on building your capacity to hold the visions you have for your life.
