For years I have been fascinated with dream catchers but never bought or even thought of making one. Then I heard that a man named will be a building a giant one near Woodstock for the 45th anniversary of the famous event. His huge dream catcher will be dedicated to peace.
The webbing of a dream catcher intrigues me and the idea of them being dedicated to a purpose fits right into my beliefs on energy and connection. I decided to check into them. Mine would be gifts; expressions of love.
As a subtle energy practitioner I know that the thoughts and feelings held while making or holding something leaves an energy imprint. In the past, I have built medicine wheels in my yard and dedicated them to peace by laying each stone with a prayer for peace. Every stone holds a blessing and its clockwise progression creates a vortex of energy that almost anyone visiting the wheel can feel Most people who come to visit will say that my yard makes them feel calm; that it is a healing place. The dream catchers I was going to make would be the same.
Working or moving in a clockwise direction creates a vortex of energy that holds whatever intent is placed on them. The first dream catcher I made was for a grand daughter's 9th birthday. It held the intent of love and happiness. The second was for a friend's toddler and it held a blessing for love and protection. The one shown in this photo below is my 3rd . Its for the family of a single mother I know. It carries the blessing of love and unity. My current project is for a young woman's high school graduation. Her dream catcher will hold the intent of love and expansion.
Dream catchers are one of the traditions of Native Americans
that seem to speak to everyone. The traditional dream catcher idea, given to
the Lakota people, was to protect sleeping
children from negative dreams. Positive dreams pass through the open center of the dream catcher and glide
down feathers to the sleeping person. Negative dreams become caught-up in
the web and then vaporize in the first morning light.
The impression to build dream catchers had many levels of information attached. Not only did they allow me to express love to others but, they calmed my spirit and gave me a positive focus while working through changes in my husband's health. Art is creative; creating is making something new. When my focus is on love and creating, the energy I surround myself with holds that vibration. It becomes a ripple that will spread to all that are near me in body or thought.
