“Who you are is the gift you were meant to bring to this Earth” ~ Asia Suler from her book ‘Mirrors in the Earth’.
Nature offers unconditional remembrance. When we forget how to tend to our inner flame, she stokes our life force. In a world seemingly spinning faster than ever, technology and information firing full throttle, modern-day demands pulling us in all directions, Nature places her tender hand on the pause button offering a reset.
This beautiful grounding energy is one of the reasons you’ll find at the end of a Reiki healing session, we invite you to support your integration and after-care through journaling, reflecting in Nature, and placing your feet on the Earth.
Creative doorways open when we open ourselves to Nature. She is a portal to inner child wonder and imagination, calling us home to our full presence and to the magic existing all around us.
A simple but powerful creative practice is to tune in to each of your senses alongside Nature. What can you smell, feel, observe, hear…? Is it the shadow play of light between leaves, a sweet birdsong, a slight breeze against skin. What emotions are simmering below your surface gently nudging to be seen and felt? Have you noticed how your shoulders physically drop, the mind settles and breath deepens, a spaciousness arrives in Nature?
Rather than linear time constructs we often ‘work’ to in society, Nature reveals cycles to us, trusting in the ongoing rhythm of continual beginnings and endings rather than as finality. I was shown this directly one day, channeling a drawing into the sand out at Piha using shells and sticks as my tools, a letting go and surrendering washed over me as the tide moved up, slowly taking each piece of drawing back into the sea. Life is a constant flux, and Nature anchors us throughout.
Consider how we may nourish ourselves differently each internal season, checking in with yourself; is your body craving warmth by sunlight or a toasty fire, eating hearty soups or a cool fresh juice, are you seeking early slumber or to rise early? Do you feel invigorated with a sense of renewal or desire a cocooning and hibernation for a period?
It is a relationship borne of reciprocity, a direct connection to our source and heart energy. I remember a poignant moment a few years ago. I was in the throes of a panic attack at home, supporting myself as best I could with practices learnt over many years when I felt called by the Pōhutukawa tree out front. I placed my head and body upon his weathered trunk, sitting curled up within roots, and as tears fell I gave my weight over to his physical and energetic being until waves of panic began to subside. A few days later I returned to leave an offering of thanks at the spot where I was held, and I saw new tree growth emerging from the same place. It felt like the energy shared between us had been both received and given.
For everything is interconnected.
“When things get hard, remember to search for yourself in the loving mirror of the Earth. Protect what is within you, ready to grow. Let your own inner world nourish the Earth…” ~ Asia Suler ‘Mirrors of the Earth’
