Hi Fellow Full Moon Dreamers. Today over at Jamie Ridler's Studio is December's Full Moon Dreamboard day.
I have to admit when I first was putting together my dreamboard I was using images from my December magazines and I was adding images and then I looked down and noticed all the images were so commercial and there were no pictures of nature or natural things so I took it apart and re-did it. When I re-did the board I did not have any thoughts in my head I just added images until I was done, it was a little frustrating for me and I am not sure I like it or even understand the final product, but I will sit with it and see what messages there are for me in this dreamboard.
The one center image is of *Angela Farmer who is a yoga teacher who was blacklisted from the Iyengar community in 1984 for her then considered radical approach of free-form energy and movement. At 71 she said she is "more interested in watching where her body holds tension, pain or fear and finding how to get in there and be with it."
*Yogaplus.org winter 2009-10 Magazine.
So my fellow dreamers I wish you all the peace and joy the season has to offer and may you remember to nourish yourself and stop to breathe in each moment....
Namaste,
Karen

I think your dreamboard is beautiful! I see lots of peace and light and gorgeousness and abundance in it. Methinks you're going to have a really great month! :)
(And I did the same thing, just going on instinct without forethought for the first time, and it was strange for me, too, not having a plan.)
i love the mutedness of the colors. and "believe". that's a really strong word for me right now.
This is really powerful! I love the quotation you used describing Angela Farmer's work. Just what I needed to hear. Beautiful!
Your dreamboard is beautiful. We did use the same "Believe"! I see abundance and grace in your dreamboard along with Joy! I wish for you a wonderful December.
wow i was so struck by the colour of your dreamboard. although vibrant it felt harmonious to me.
i love your homage to angela farmer, i will check out her work now.
full moon blessingsx
I can so relate to feeling that the pictures in magazines often are commercial and can sort of lead to a materialist idea of "I want this and that"... Not to mention finding pictures of women above 20!
I do love what you created! The woman at the centre seems to radiate wisdom and beauty! This feels like a spiritual and warm dreamboard. May your dreams come true!
Hi Karen, You dream board is perfect. I love the color and balance of it. And to honor her is wonderful. May all your dreams come true.
It's so interesting when visionboards turn out much differently than expected... but you know, yours is simply beautiful and inspiring to me. I love the words at the top... "Let you light shine." You are shining, for sure! Many blessings to you as your wintertime visions unfold..
Your dreamboard is lovely. It feels very warm and inviting! Thanks so very much for coming by my blog and sharing. xo
Lovely! So peaceful.... May your dreams come true!
Hi Karen,
I found you through your comment on Brook's blisschick article :)
I Love your dream board- it's beautiful. Something about the full moon speaks to so many of us.
Thank you for calling my attention to Angela Farmer- after a bit of reading, her story and what she has to say sounds so wise, so grounded. Although free-form yoga has always been difficult for myself, I think that speaks to my 'type A' ness, and should be an indication that perhaps a few challenges in this area would be good for personal growth.
again, many thanks for making me think :)
Blessings!
I love your dreamboard. All of the red in it is so powerful, yet warm and comforting. But what really drew me in was the picture of Angela Farmer in the middle. I had no idea who she was until I read the post, but my first impression was of how naturally beautiful she is. I respect that in this nip-tuck-and-inject era we live in.
May your dreams manifest themselves for your highest good.
Hi Karen! Angela Farmer is crazy-wild-good! Her DVDs are really interesting, and a friend of mine has gotten a lot out of retreats with her. I think that I, too, might like to experience her teaching in person.
Be well.
It's so interesting to notice what occupies the center of dreamboards. You might ask yourself what Angela Farmer means to you. You've created a beautiful dreamboard that feels very warm and inviting to me. May your dreams come true!
Beautiful complex dreamboard.
And thank you for the link to the article.
i love the idea of creating your dreamboard with no set intention and then seeing what your subconscious delivers.
did you know of angela farmer before selecting her image?
i agree with one of the earlier comments, she does exude serenity and wisdom.
