There are so many different emotions right now. Intense sadness for what is happening to the planet, fear for our loved ones at risk, anxiety about what to touch, who to hug, and the economy. At the same time the earth is taking a profound exhale as factories allow the air to breathe, and shutting down has given birth to creativity, rest, and connection with our children, and loved ones. In the midst of the anxiety and chaos there is an opportunity to tune in to the energy of the earth and your connection with all of life. Wherever you are right now remember that you are always held in the loving arms of Mother Earth. The simple act of taking a breath, putting your hand in your heart and allowing yourself to give thanks for the gift of life.
We give thanks to the Spirit of Earth - the Spirit of abundance and unconditional love —
We give thanks to the Spirit of Air- for our lungs— for our connection to all of life. Air reminds us that we are One.
We give thanks to the Spirit of Water- thank you for washing away our pain and cleansing us of our toxic thoughts— thank you for the gift of life, and reminding us we are pure essence.
We give thanks to the Spirit of Fire— the creator and destroyer, help us lean in to the unknown and for reminding us that out of destruction comes rebirth and new life. Thank you for helping us to connect to our passion, our warmth and our creativity.
As we navigate through the unknown and fear, it is even more important to savor the beauty.
