Don't Forget to Look Up

The river was looking quite beautiful in a way I haven’t seen recently at the dog park this morning and it wasn’t until I snapped these photos that I realized, oh, there’s a blue sky out today! The blue hue I was witnessing in the water was the river mirroring the sky because the brightness of the sun was filtered by the few patches of clouds covering it. Which made me think of a few things - I’d like to share in case it resonates with you too:

DON’T FORGET TO LOOK UP

Sometimes when we are in the autopilot of our routines, patterns of our traditions, or with our nose to the grindstone of our schedules, we forget there are also other options, perspectives, avenues of doing things differently and maybe even more aligned with who we are and who we are becoming. A playful practice in being more present is to take in all of the stimulus from where you are through all of your senses. What does it feel like, sound like, taste like, smell like? What else, what if, why not?

ALLOW YOUR ENERGY TO EXTEND BEYOND THE CROWN OF YOUR HEAD

When we get stuck in our minds or feel alone and disconnected, our crowns can be blocked. Take a moment, if you like, to breathe in deeply and imagine your energy going out the top of your head and expanding into the sky, like tree branches. When we do this, we are tapping into the infinite energy of POSSIBILITY that feeds our creativity and helps us to feel more connected to all that is in the cosmos. For myself, I can sometimes be so focused on being grounded that I forget to also feel into that spaciousness of being “skied”.

WHO OR WHAT IS BEING A MIRROR FOR YOU RIGHT NOW?

What situations or relationships are wanting to teach you something about yourself? When we are drawn to people, irritated by something, feeling the heat of anger or passion, we are being offered the invitation for some self-reflection, self-study, self-compassion, and self-healing. What lesson is showing up for you? How can you love all parts of you more fully?

Gratitude to Nature for sending us these reminders and thank you for giving them a read. As always, take what resonates with your inner Truth and leave what doesn’t!
