If you’re looking for a small, everyday practice, there’s a lot to be said for daydreaming. It’s a surprisingly powerful thing to give time to.

Everything we do begins with an idea. If we’re acting unconsciously there’s a fair risk that the idea we’re acting on was not our own. Making change begins with inspiration. Daydreaming allows us to find and play with ideas and explore what we’re interested in. Time spent daydreaming allows us to consider our lives, wants, needs and feelings. The better a sense you have of what you want, the easier it is to see how to move in the right direction.

The more time you spend daydreaming, the less likely you are to have your wants defined by adverts and social pressure. Deliberately thinking about things that bring you joy and reflecting on good experiences drives out the commercial noise. If you’re on the Druid path the odds are that you want more time in nature, more peace and inspiration, more wonder and sacredness. Make room to think about it and you invite more of that in.

Daydreaming is a low carbon activity. It doesn’t hurt any other living being. Daydreaming time is time that isn’t spent working or consuming. Stepping off the capitalist treadmill for a while is liberating and restorative. It’s a meaningful act of resistance that will make you less vulnerable to these pressures the rest of the time. It’s also a really good form of self care. Daydreaming is restful and supports good mental health. You can combine it with wandering about, or physically resting depending on what your body most needs.

When you invite ideas in this way, you make room for inspiration to strike. Create space for the awen, and it will come to you. Inspiration is sacred and magical, so making room for it every day is a particularly powerful Druidic practice. As inspiration comes to you, you will find more options, more sense of direction, more clarity, priorities and so forth. If you are feeling stuck, or lost, then daydreaming is how you start to imagine a path into existence.

Close your eyes, take a few slow breaths, and see what comes to you.
