Nature Talks to Us

Have you ever asked a question and somehow an answer just pops into your head? It reminds me of the line from an old song... "the answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind, the answer is blowing in the wind." Do you believe that Nature can talk to us? Like the wind?

Our thoughts, dreams, ideals and ideas are carried out, with our inner and outer voices, into the Universe, knowing it will be taken to its perfect destination to be manifested.

We can connect ourselves to a force of nature by focusing on the element of air during a wind meditation. We begin by centering ourselves on our breath. We inhale air, which is a life-giving force, feeling it fill our lungs and then releasing the air it into the world to let our breath mingle with the breath of nature and of others. No wonder we are connected. We breath in and out each other's energy.

If you can't feel the wind right now, you can use your mind to conjure times when the wind caressed your cheek, ruffled your hair or clothes.

We can remember the sound of the wind blowing through the leaves of a tree or when laughter was brought to your ears.

We can remember seeing the wind take a leaf and pushing to and fro until it landed on the ground.

The smell of an ocean breeze or the aroma of baking bread can remind us of how powerful the wind is.

As we recall how our senses are touched by the wind, we can feel its force surround us, calm us or even cool us. In its way, it is speaking to us.

Take that time to breath in, meditate and listen to Nature speak. It might be bringing you an important message that you need to hear.

As always, the light in me honors the light in you.
