Today I am reflecting on the life giving energy of rain,Connecting to the nurturing Element of water. Last summer we were so dry here that wildfires were rampant throughout the area and in many areas of the united states. Anyone who has a farm or any kind of livestock can relate to the pure stress and fear that is associated when living so close to out of control fire. People fear it anyway but having livestock,cats,dogs ,chickens birds ect raises that fear as there is pending concern of evacuation.Even with a plan its my worst nightmare and I have been trying to make peace with fire for most of my life. I was burned badly as a child and am still working through fear around that.So having this rain come is so welcome and I am feeling so much gratitude <3 Rain is water and water is life.It's so nurturing and replenishing.It washes away the dust and purifies and is symbolic of so much that is good.Water to me is so healing and comforting. I spent last week battling a crazy cold and this week have been on the tail end of recovery.I don't often get sick so I realize my immune system must have been down due to me trying to do way too much.In this realization I was sure to take the time I needed for self care and realize I am feeling kind of empty. So this week I am doing things to rest my body and nurture my spirit as best I can with a busy life. Things will shift gears again soon when soccer season ends and the kids are off school for the summer and it will slow down a little but right now things are crazy and chaotic.Still I recognize I need self care so I am taking it. My grass is not getting cut and there is much to be done around the farm,I have not been with the horses except to feed because I need the rest. I am spending time indoors listening to healing music and spending time sleeping and sitting in the quiet space.Listening to the sounds of birds and watching the rain fall.I am writing and drinking mint tea,I had a massage and am taking the time I need.With the rain coming in today I am feeling comfort and cozy energy like being in the womb of an ancient tree..A safe and sacred space to heal and replenish.These are the days I want to sit by a warm crackling fire wrapped in a warm quilt.Listening and watching the rain out my window and smelling the fresh scent in the air. The soft steady pulse of the healing energy that is the rain outside is doing so much to heal me and fill me up so when I am ready I will be back in action and ready to once again create and help others. I am a lover of rain and it reminds me of when I lived on Vancouver Island.A place I still feel exists inside of me wherever I go.I carry that energy. When it rains soft and steady as it is now.I feel myself there.I feel the wildness and the freedom of it.I feel the raw power and energy of the ocean,I can smell the earthy aromatic scent of the towering ceders and feel the lush and abundant life of the coastal rainforest.I feel the eagle soaring overhead ,seeing all and giving away nothing ,except to those who seek her knowledge,I feel the mountain lion as she moves her powerful body through the dense underbrush of the forest.The humpback whales calling their soothing songs.I can live there in this time healing my body and coming back into my home frequency.<3 This is a good place.A sacred space I carry within my soul. The rain had made this prairie landscape so lush and green and life is happening all around me.<3 I feel the same lush aliveness of life right here on this thirsty prairie soil ,which is now so quenched and feels renewed and replenished .This is the mirror of how I am feeling as a witness to this healing water filling the needs of the land.I am so grateful and at peace.<3 Feel and connect with the healing power of Mother Nature,Let Gaia and the elements of life nurture and replenish your soul.
