Dreams, visions and wishes
I want to dream without limitations. Our mind often creates various restrictions about what might be possible for us in this life. I want to consciously resist this and set my mind aside, to dream through my Soul. I believe that when we are able to put our rational mind aside, we gain access to something deeper — the voice of the heart and Soul.
I believe that when you speak your dreams, visions, and wishes out loud or write them down, that alone already helps to bring them into reality. When you clearly express your wishes out loud, I believe it subconsciously guides us toward those things. I encourage speaking and sharing your dreams openly with your loved ones, writing them down for yourself, or even posting them on social media. In this case, more is more — all of this can guide us toward our dreams, and also help us take concrete steps toward them.
So how do you know which dreams are truly your own and which might be created by other people around you or the society? I believe that the better a person has gotten to know themselves, the more clearly they can hear their authentic inner voice. People, myself included, easily follow the path defined by society, family, or those close to us, without ever questioning it. Until one day, perhaps, you see things differently — and the dreams may change quite a lot if they aren’t aligned with your own truth. On my own path, this is exactly what happened: when I paused to listen to my truth, I realized I was pursuing things that weren’t even my own dreams or wishes in this life. That changed the direction of my entire life.
Sometimes it can feel difficult to hear your inner voice, and through that, your own dreams. In my own life, I’ve had to really stop and dig deep within myself for a long time to reconnect with the dreams and wishes that truly lived deep inside of me. It has been a long process. Slowing down the pace of life has helped me with this as well. When you slow down your life, you’re more likely to hear your inner voice more clearly. All the embodied practices that have helped me return to a state of peace within my body have been essential in this area of life too.
So what am I dreaming of right now?
Right now, I dream of building a beautiful new life and home for myself in Tampere. I dream of finding my place in this new home city of mine. I dream of getting to work with inspiring people there within the world of Yoga. I’ve never lived in Tampere before, but my family roots go back there for at least the last 125 years. I realized only recently that we’re talking about more than a century. I understood again on a deeper level why that beautiful city calls me so strongly. This is a dream I am currently following.
Back to dreaming… I dream of organizing new retreats and of continuing to work with all this lovely woo woo stuff of mine. I dream that I can express myself and my creativity through different projects that help others return back home to themselves as well. In general, I dream of building a life for myself in Finland that truly feels like my own — a life I don’t feel the need to run away from. Now I take concrete steps towards there dreams.
Looking further ahead, I have many dreams, visions, and wishes. One of the biggest wishes of my life is to have my own family and to be a mother. I’ve always felt that I would become the mother of one child — that is my biggest dream. The time hasn’t come yet, but I firmly believe and hope it will come. Another new, growing dream within me is that I truly want to live in the countryside, fully surrounded by nature. My dream would be to restore a beautiful old farmhouse with respect for its history — my Soul longs for that. I’ve always loved working with my hands, and there is wonderful craftsmanship in my family. I’ve already co-renovated two previous homes from their original form into something completely new, so at least I have some experience with that. Perhaps my own farmer, who shares the same dreams, is waiting for me somewhere. <3
Dreams can also change shape; I believe they become clearer over time. I’m completely open to new wishes and dreams too. When I was younger, I got a tattoo that says “…the sky is not the limit,” and maybe that young Jenna had already understood something big about dreaming. I believe that dreams come to us for a reason — because they are meant to be fulfilled. <3
