5 Ways to Embody Your Super Powers

As a child growing up in the 60’s Batman and Robin were my favorite dynamic duo. Today, the growing list of villains we see are the likes of Mr. Freeze, (ICE agents) separating families and deporting migrants, and legal status immigrants to the darkest foreign prisons. Holy Fourth Amendment Batman! We seem trapped in Gotham, by Mr. Cheese, the Orange One. The Convicted Felon is in charge of the penitentiary. Where is Batman when you need him?

360 Degree View 4-29-25

I see Batman in his black superhero outfit, driving his black batmobile, and suddenly, I drive up alongside him, driving super fast in a red Batmobile wearing a red superhero suit and cape. I look over at him and nod, Batman looks surprised to see me. As I am driving, I notice I can see in a 360 degree vision through a rotating globe that circulates over my head, and recognize this as my Super Power. It reminds me of how dreams can provide that way of seeing.

Red Batmobile

In the Marvel Universe, Nightwing is the name that Boy Wonder goes by once he has grown into his own power and works independently of Batman. He wears red and black and focuses on working in a neighboring city that is very poor, and occasionally consults with Batwoman, who is also known as Oracle. 

The shocking events unfolding daily, makes it clear, no one in government is protecting our most vulnerable communities. The powerful get more powerful by hook or by crook. The rich get richer on the backs of the poor. 

The current challenges we face daily as our rights are slipping away and Democracy is in decay, has me longing for the Bat Signal, but instead we see park rangers hanging the U.S. flag upside down in Yosemite National Park.

It’s clear we are the ones we have been looking for, and we must become our own hero. We must tap into our own super powers, and team up with other super heroes to fight back against fascism, and protect ourselves, and each other. We must consult the Oracle of our Dreams.

Batman was a billionaire, and Robin came from a family of circus performers, (not my circus, not my clown car) both lost their parents to violent crimes. Becoming a hero from our personal stories and traumas, is the place where our super powers are revealed to fight for justice and protect the vulnerable in our community. Stories of survival are embodied through generations of ancestors, where our superpowers are revealed.

Perhaps it is time to unmask the Billionaire Batman as a hero, and instead write a new episode. Get in, an independent Woman driving a red hot Batmobile is dreaming with a 360 degree view of the past, present, and future tracking us towards Democracy and Human Rights.

Here are five ways to embody your Super Powers:

  1. Body Postures – When you are afraid, or lacking confidence, strike a Superpower Pose beforehand. Want to invite your Super Powers into Dreaming? Strike a Super Power pose before bed, and then picture yourself posing this way inside your dream. Shamanic body postures written about by Felicitas Goodman, reveals stances by ancient figures, produced altered trance states when mirrored, “If one adopts such a posture, one will have such an experience”.

If you wake up from an important dream in the middle of the night, you can slip back inside your dream, by finding the body posture you were in when you woke, and there you will find your dream waiting for you.

  1. Embodied Dreaming – The body remembers in dreaming and waking realities. Scientific research has shown that when we dream or imagine an experience, the body translates this as a lived experience. This has been tested in areas of Imaginal Healing for Cancer patients, Sports psychology for heightened performance, as well as Academic performance improvement through dream study test preparation. Embodied dream discovery does not limit us to our physical body, but translates in a physical way as an embodied experience. This opens possibilities for timely actions in response to the biggest challenges we face collectively today. Our most brilliant scientists like Einstein and Tesla knew this, using their mindscapes and dream scapes as place of invention. Leaders like Harriet Tubman, Abraham Lincoln, and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. dreamed the path ahead to change the world. On a personal level, dreams may take you to find the perfect place to live, the love of your life, your dream job, creative inspiration, or the community where you feel you most belong. Imagine yourself slipping under covers and into your dreams tonight, where your bed sheets become a cape, and your dream body takes flight. Dream into your super powers and see where it takes you! (Children already understand this).
  1. Problem Solving – We can problem solve in our dreams, by sleeping on it, when we have a big decision to make, and can’t decide, we instinctively know to sleep on it, and the answer comes in the morning. An embodied knowing in our bones, or a dream we recall provides a clear answer. This tacit wisdom is dream incubation. The practice of sleeping on it for a particular purpose. In dreams, we can see the problem from a holistic view, and explore every angle, such as looking in the mirror, or tracking ahead for a possible future, or traveling paths untaken to integrate lessons unlearned. We can enter into the unknown, and pull back the curtain of darkness to find innovation.
  1. Intention Setting – Dream incubation is a dreaming practice known widely in the Ancient Greco Roman World, as well as today in modern dream work. It is simply a way to invite into your dreams whatever you wish, for instance, a healing dream, as was the focus in the Ancient Dream Temples of Asclepius, or perhaps a flying dream to travel through space and time, beyond the confines of your fears, and the limits of the everyday mind, or your physical body. Intention setting charts the path for the directions our energy flows. Dreams open us to receive more than we know.
  1. Inspired Collaboration – Our dreams have the power to bring forth the world we desire to create. Finding ways to bring our dreams into the waking world, requires us to suspend belief about “the way things are” or refrain from deciding “it was just a dream” and can’t be real. We learn instead to engage the body as a portal into dreaming. An embodied oracle, providing us a glimpse of a possible future, and becoming a bridge between the worlds. We embody our Super Powers when facing our fears, and seeking out powerful allies of collaboration in dreaming and waking realities who will support our vision and our mission. Together we can dream, and take inspired action on behalf of the Earth, Community, and each other.

Dreaming Matters

If you have lost touch with the wisdom of your soul, or creative muse, or perhaps your inner healer, now is the perfect opportunity for you to look inside to rekindle these connections. I invite you to step through the doorway to your inner worlds, or perhaps the other world, is ready to step through you.
The key is through dreams.

At a retreat I offered in 2020 of January, on Dream Healing in Hot Springs, Arkansas, I introduced participants to Rainbow Woman. She is very special to me, because she revealed herself to me over 10 years ago, when I was camping with friends, and we were hiking in the mountains. I had noticed an energetic ley line that I had stepped through as we hiked, and it got my attention. I stopped to investigate what I felt and saw, and when I did, I saw a beautiful rainbow colored woman, made from a plasma like energy. She stepped right from the core of my being, and through my physical body. She turned around, staring me in the eyes, face to face. Her beauty, wisdom and magic astonished me. How could such a being step from within me, in such away? She then shot up the mountain in a flash of white light traveling the energetic ley lines I had seen. Later, she visited me in dreams and shared with me the 7 Rays of Healing, and asked me to share this with others. She took me into the stars, and showed me how to birth new galaxies. Now when I return to Hot Springs on Dream Healing Retreats, I always end with a journey to connect with Rainbow Woman, and her healing energies, because she is very special to me, and she asked me to share her with others.

January 19, 2020 Healing Journey with Rainbow Woman

Finding My Way
Down into the Earth a small circle of Ancestors gather around a small fire, and Rainbow Woman appears as a maiden with her white buckskin dress and braids, dancing to the drum. The song of the Grandfather sings into the fire, as she dances. The song carries her into our world, on rainbow energy lines. She flows her rainbow energy into our circle, and she follows the rainbow to the West, where it ends, and a doorway between the realms, opens into another galaxy.

The dance continues, she invites me to follow her, the song is sung supporting this dance, this journey. We are dancing with starlight, a new galaxy, as we focus prayers of healing for the Earth. We shine rainbows on the children enslaved and in prison, afraid and abused. offering them love and healing, freedom and support.

Then we dance through another doorway of light. White light, a circle of sisterhood is dancing in a circle. I am told it is good I found my way here, and welcomed into the circle. Only a few are ready and willing to enter into this Sacred Sisterhood. We dance visions and open the way with courage and wisdom for the women on Earth bringing change. The light is shining on each Woman, shared with each other, and for the Earth. We are birthing a new world with vision, courage and heart. Grandfather is singing our song, for this dance of beauty, strength and healing.

Last week I was invited to participate in the Earth Sky Woman Summit online, that was held today on 4/4/20. Over 1100 people signed up to participate but the space itself was limited to only 100 people. There were about a dozen presenters and the vision of it was was put forth by the courage of heart and electronic brilliance of Tami Brunk. It was an incredibly meaningful experience to be part of seeing so many women sharing their powerful spiritual gifts, and courage of heart, and healing wisdom.

There was a discussion about Mayan healing and the Goddess Ix Chel, and it reminded me of Rainbow Woman. Ix Chel means Rainbow Woman, I began to recall my journey, and realized that it had come true in part, by being invited into this Sacred Sisterhood as a presenter, even though I did not know anyone personally. It was the journey that opened the door, and presented me with a key to healing and showing up. A powerful realization for me personally, and a deep gratitude for me being able to find my way and being welcomed into the circle.

In February, about a month prior to the pandemic storm. A dear sister and healer invited me to try her newly created float tank, and knowing my connection with dreams, she was keen to have me try it to see how it might be a helpful modality for conscious dreaming. I was also keen to try it and the liminal space created by the body floating in salt water, could provide a primal womb of dream incubation. I focused my intention in my float session on personal healing and gaining any insights that would be helpful for me at this time. I had been doing a lot of private healing sessions on individual clients, and knew the salt waters would be restorative for my energy field as well.

As I floated in the tank in a conscious dream state, that place between waking and sleeping reality, I saw images come and go, which included some helpful psychic information. Then suddenly, I dropped deeper into a dream, which opened before me from the core of my being. I was now inside a conscious dreaming reality with an Oracle Goddess, who emerged from a mountain. Her face, her hands, and her breasts became visible. Her strong voice was heard inside my dream. She said, I have not been seen in a very long time. It is time for me to emerge. I tell her I had set the intention to work on personal work, and not focused on collective energies right now. It is personal! She snaps back! Alright then, I am paying attention! I then see a volcano next to her, with lava flowing down, and molten lava erupting from the top, as the face of the Goddess Pele is reflected in the fires of the Earth. I feel her powers of destruction and creation. Suddenly, I hear cows mooing and see them grazing in a peaceful green pasture, and then the Blue Faced Goddess Hathor descends from the Pleiades, with her nurturing and peaceful, loving energy. Finally, I see the Three Goddesses before me, a blazing fire beneath HER feet. I am human sized, standing before them, but in the body of Kali Ma, Black Mother Earth, Treasure House of Compassion, Giver of Life to the World. I run toward the sacred fire with fierce love and compassion and lunge my ceremonial knife (truth) into the Sacred Fire (Life). The Oracle Goddess says, It is done…and it is good.

A month later the pandemic arrives in full force, now we are sheltering inside, dreaming dreams, parents teaching children, cooking meals, worrying about our elders, digging in the Earth and planting gardens. Tapping into creative problem solving and innovation to keep business flowing. Listening to Spring bird songs. Death arrives while numbers grow each day. We grieve and feel the losses, we remember to appreciate life, we feel how fragile we are. We see how truly connected we are, there is no separation. We focus on what truly matters.
