Unlocking creativity through metaphor: The Feeling Dimension will transform your life
The Law of Attraction teaches us that to manifest our desires, we must step into the feeling of what we want to create. Feeling is the bridge that connects us to the potent, creative forces of the Universe. Metaphor is the key that allows us to embody and experience the essence of what our soul seeks to manifest.
In psychology, much attention is placed on “the image,” often leading us to believe that receiving a vivid or complex image is the goal. Many creative people in my groups receive stunning, intricate imagery, while others feel inadequate if their images seem simple. But here’s the truth: it’s not about the image. The sole purpose of a metaphoric image is to evoke a feeling response. That feeling is what transports us to a transformative, creative dimension.
Metaphoric images are like tarot cards. While the artwork of the High Priestess or Fool may be stunning, the value lies in the energy and message the card represents, not in the image itself. Similarly, in Doorway sessions, receiving an image is only the beginning. Transformation happens when you step into the image, entering the feeling dimension it opens. This is where true shifts occur, and your life changes.
The Power of Feeling
To create or manifest anything new, we need to feel deeply. Feeling is distinct from raw emotion—such as anger, fear, or frustration—which can cloud our ability to tune into the subtle wisdom of a metaphoric image. True feeling connects us to a gentle, loving, and directional energy—a presence that touches us in ways the cognitive mind cannot grasp.
In Doorway sessions, profound shifts happen when clients engage with the feeling dimension. Here, something alive and otherworldly comes to meet them. This presence bypasses the mind and gently embraces the body, offering a deeply transformative experience. Below are examples of messages from the feeling dimension that clients have received during sessions.
Messages from the Feeling Dimension
Expanding into a New Space
“I am [the image]. I would like to expand out. You have seen me now. You know that I exist. Thank you. Now let me expand. I am not something you can figure out, like a tool in your toolbox. I am not that. I am something you will enter—a new space you will step into. Imagine being inside of me. Feel into me. Let the cells of your body know me. I am a new space for you.”
“You are in a spacious place. You don’t need to be scared. This is not about doing; it’s about being. Feel into this space, and it will reveal your next step. Paint or write what you feel, but only as a way to capture your experience—not as work or obligation. The moment it feels like work, stop. You are here to explore and sense what this new space has to offer.”
The Feeling of Upward Energy
“I am the bubbling pool of water. My natural movement is upward. This upward expression happens effortlessly—it’s how I’m designed. What does an upward expression mean for you? If you were to move upward creatively, what would that look like? Let your process reach new heights naturally.”
“I am the Easter lily. My energy flows up and out with grace and beauty. There’s no need for effort. Simply feel my energy—light, upward, and expansive. Hold this feeling of grace and beauty, for it is within you, too. You are beautiful and holy.”
Embracing Lightness
“The space you are entering is light, ethereal, floaty. What does it mean to become lighter? Lightness allows movement in new directions and opens doors that were previously closed. Let yourself become light, let your work become light, and notice how you can float into unimaginable spaces.”
“If you allow yourself to embody lightness, your path becomes clearer. Lightness enables you to move effortlessly through life’s challenges.”
The True Power of Metaphor
Tapping into the wisdom of the metaphoric realm is far more than gaining cognitive insights. It’s about accessing a creative expansiveness that transforms your life. Through metaphor, we can become the very things we want to experience—grace, lightness, expansion, or love.
The wisdom doesn’t lie in the image itself. It resides in the feeling space that the image opens for us. This is the magic of metaphor: it creates a profound connection to the creative forces of the Universe, allowing us to step into a new way of being.
