Winter Dreaming: A Vision of Possibility

Pracitcal Wisdom with Rev. Dr. Ahriana Platten

As we enter a new year, it's time to pause and immerse ourselves in the art of visioning. I love to create a vision board at this time of year – but vision boarding at the start of the year is not about immediate creation or action.


Afterall, its winter and time for rest and rejuvenation. A midwinter vision board is an invitation to dream, to wander through the realms of possibilities, and to envision a future that might seem beyond reach. This process is about opening your heart and mind to what could be, allowing yourself to daydream and imagine a vision that's grander than anything you've thought possible.


The Art of Dreaming Big


Visioning is a journey into your deepest desires and dreams. It's an exercise in letting your imagination run free, unbounded by the constraints of reality or practicality. Allow yourself to dream big, to envision a life that lights up your soul. What would you do if there were no limits? Who would you be if you could be anyone? This isn't the time for how's and why's; it's a time for what if's.


Crafting Your Vision Board


Begin by setting aside a quiet time and space where you can be uninterrupted. Surround yourself with magazines, images, quotes – anything that sparks your imagination. As you sift through these, let your intuition guide you. Choose images that resonate with your wildest dreams, not just your current goals. Place these images on a board in a way that feels right to you. There is no right or wrong here, only the flow of your dreams taking shape.


Cut out whatever you like. Don’t ask why you like it. Just cut it out and give it a home on your vision board. Use stick glue, tape, sealing wax… whatever feels right to you. And give yourself enough time to enjoy the process. There is no rush. Let this be fun!


Living with Your Vision


Once your vision board is complete, place it where you can see it daily. But remember, this isn't a checklist or a to-do list. It's a dream board. Let it be a daily reminder to keep your heart open to the unimaginable, to maintain a state of wonder and openness. Let it inspire you to think bigger, to expand your horizons.


Embracing the Power of Imagination


Your vision board is a testament to the power of your imagination. It's a visual representation of your dreams, no matter how grand or unattainable they may seem. Allow it to remind you that the first step to achieving anything is to imagine it.


As we embark on this new year, let's do so with hearts full of dreams and minds open to the infinite possibilities. Let your vision board be a beacon of hope and imagination, a reminder that sometimes, the most important thing we can do is simply allow ourselves to dream. Here's to a year of visioning, dreaming, and embracing the vastness of what could be.
