For almost seven years now, at the start of every month, I use the app Unfold to create a visual representation of what I’m reaching for. Something I like to think of it as is what new stratosphere do I want to enter? I then turn this into my phone background because, well, I look at my phone quite a lot. So every time I open my phone, it a reminder and imprint into my psyche.

In Human Design, I’m a non-specific manifestor, which means that while I do have MANY planets in Capricorn, I’m not here to obsess over the exact form something takes, I’m here to get clear on the feeling of it. Gathering and putting together images helps me to get clear on the atmosphere, the stratosphere I want to live inside: the texture, the tone, the emotional quality, the feeling. It’s less about a specific thing and more about calibrating my nervous system to a frequency. This monthly ritual has become a way of orienting myself, not toward pressure or performance, but toward resonance (my new favorite work and longer article coming this week to unpack it)

Every month in the Benshen Membership we set a vision to orient ourselves in time and space, practice meditation daily to add fuel to our engine to move in that direction, and surround ourselves with community to be supported as we do the heavy lifting of changing deeply engrained patterns, beliefs and bring dreams down to earth.

I’m going to start sharing monthly mood boards here, please feel free to save them and used them 💌 all images via @pinterest
