SOUL COACHING - DAY 25 - EARTH WEEK


affirmation for today - I AM IN HARMONY WITH THE NATURAL RHYTHM OF LIFE

today, we were asked to be aware of the rhythms of nature in all its forms....sunrise, sunset, shadow changes, movements of animals and insects, weather changes etc. we were to ask ourselves if our own internal rhythms felt in alignment with nature's rhythms.

as part of my meditation today, i visualised myself at a beautiful beach....making it feel as real as possible right down to the feel of the wet sand between my toes and the waves gently rolling against my legs....i could also feel the drag of the undertow as the waves moved back out to sea. i could smell the sticky, salt air and the seagulls calling out to one another as they looked for food. i took deep breaths and realised how connected i felt to everything around me. i was the waves, i was the sand, i was the sticky, salt air, i was the seagulls.....WE WERE CONNECTED, i felt totally at peace and empowered......it was amazing!

love, light and peace ~

Ah! How relaxing your post is! Through you, I too connected to the one thing I am desperately craving. The sea. Thank you, Serena! :)

You are connected! Beautiful choice, a beach. Oh how wonderful it is to be close to the water and get in touch with our inner mermaid.

Hi Serena,

The move to Phoenix was for me. I really didn't have an outcome planned, but the one who is now the hubster did come out in June and we were married in July. It is now 30 years, 2 children, and 3 grandgirls later and we are best friends. I didn't really see this coming.

Thanks for the info regarding the pens.

Your mandalas are incredible!

ps - we did have snow..on Saturday. It didn't settle but was flurrying down for a good 15 mins.
In the mountains here, it has been known to snow in December! Then the tourists come out in droves :)
