Happy Unmanic Monday! I invite you into a portal of nurturing embrace of Mother Earth herself today!
If you follow astrology, you may know we are in the middle of eclipse season, Mercury Retrograde is now post-shadow, and the waves of energy have been sending us for a wild ride!
It is the most perfect week, to tune into the gifts of Mother Nature.
Lush green trees, the gentle whispers of the wind, and the earthy scent of the soil all call to us, inviting us to reconnect and realign with the natural world around us.
As we approach the cosmic gate upon us as our planet is transiting into a theme of purpose, I want to share three simple ways to tap into Mother Nature's energy and find clarity and purpose in the process:
Grounding Practices: Take a moment each day to ground yourself in nature. Find a quiet spot outdoors, whether it's a park, garden, or your backyard, and simply sit or stand with your bare feet on the earth. Close your eyes, breathe deeply, and visualize roots extending from your body into the ground, anchoring you to the earth's energy. Feel the stability and support of the earth beneath you, allowing it to calm your mind and center your being. Affirm in this moment ….
“Thank you Mother Earth energy and Spirit above, for grounding me into purpose and revealing through your whispers, nudges toward my next step.”
Forest Bathing: Immerse yourself in the healing power of the forest with a practice known as forest bathing or shinrin-yoku. Take a leisurely walk through a natural wooded area, allowing yourself to fully engage your senses. Notice the sights, sounds, and smells around you, and let them wash over you like a soothing balm for the soul. Allow yourself to be fully present in the moment, letting go of any worries or distractions as you connect with the peaceful energy of the forest. Allow for nature’s whispers to speak to you as they are giving you advice. Find the symbolism in what it is providing.
Cacao Ceremony: Dive deeper into your connection with nature through the sacred ritual of a cacao ceremony. Brew yourself a cup of ceremonial-grade cacao, made from the purest form of the cacao bean, and set an intention to connect with the spirit of the earth. As you sip the rich, earthy elixir, allow yourself to be guided by the wisdom of the cacao plant, opening your heart and mind to the messages it has to share. Feel the energy of the earth flowing through you, grounding you in purpose and clarity. You can do this one with me every Monday in May! Join me for Mystic Mondays: Meditation and Energy Clearing. Together, we'll explore the transformative power of nature and harness its energy to elevate our lives. We kick off next week with Purpose!
By embracing the energy of Mother Earth and tuning into the rhythms of nature, we can find a sense of purpose and direction in our lives.
Let's honor this connection and allow it to guide us on our journey of self-discovery and growth.
