Intuition & Synchronicity: Day 12/31 Days of (Self) Belonging

October 12, 2023 by jjscreativelifemidwife

Julianne: have you heard of her?


She is the name I use when referring to my highest self: she takes form in intuitive hits and synchronicity, be it the songs I hear or the images that surprisingly show up in my path.

Befriending Julianne by name has made a huge difference in my life, especially when we became deeper collaborative partners.

She will show up in my writing tomorrow, also, because I had a major a-ha during this morning’s writing practice. I know she was the one who tapped those loose morsels through my brain and out onto the page.

It is natural I discovered this sense of belonging with Julianne when she became a big part of my writing practice. 

I had long wanted to have an evening practice that would be a good “bookend” to my well honed morning practice of writing, stretching, planning, intending, praying. I never seemed to “get it right”. 

I still mix it up and find myself shuffling (which is indicative of being human, right?)

My evening writing practice became something I call “Roll Over and Write” and sometimes “Roll Over and Right” because the practice itself makes everything just right, like how Goldilocks finds  baby bear’s porridge, the chair and the bread.

It’s easy: I have a notebook by my bedside. I jot a few notes before I turn out the light and when I wake up, soon after waking, I write again – often in response to dreams I had or insights that come out only when I move my pencil.

Julianne figures in because I usually address her in those pages. I find both Julianne and the Divine there, in my notebook. 

My notebooks, in fact, are my most regular, consistent believing mirrors and conduits for positive change. My Mining for Story Gold runs a close second – which makes sense because that space of writing practice comes in the next phase of my morning rituals so I am slightly more awake.

Julianne – my highest self – helps me remember what belonging really feels like: to live, work, play and grow vulnerably with others within a community who are committed and devoted to caring for one another. Not just talk about caring for one another but acting with care towards one another in a context of transparency, acceptance and openness.

    Julianne sounds like a smart individual – how lucky are you to have her as your highest self.
    Do you often remember your dreams? Do you usually try and interpret them?

      I remembered them more when I wasn’t so busy. I found I remember them more accurately when I write upon awakening. Glimmers of understanding come up that would easily fade quickly, just like the dreams themselves. Sometimes when I write before I sleep, I request Julianne bring me some insights to whatever situation I am curious to know more about, too.

    I work a lot with my higher self, and never thought to name her, interesting idea!

    I am weird about names. It feels awkward to use them. Even with humans sometimes, but especially when I am saying something like, “mother and father God” or “divine mother” or “Archangel Michael.” So I don’t call my higher self anything. But I do see her in my mind, and she looks like me but better. The part I don’t know what to do with is that she’s taller and thinner, with better hair. I am glad that you have Julianne. And that you seem to have such a strong connection and closeness with her. And I admire your writing practices.
