I am home, and wow, what a powerful connection with the land we created in Sequoia! As I travelled across the USA (from Sequoia I went to LA, then NYC: my favourite city!), I realised nature has all the answers and so much wisdom… so much so I started a new form of spirit guidance practice (after learning Land Readings from William Whitecloud) asking the land for the questions I am working with. On my way back home, there was a huge storm, and we were delayed and I missed my connecting flight (in fact a lot of us on that JFK flight to Madrid did) home. It was (not so funny?) to witness my own and others’ human-ness with all the stress and the tension of potentially not getting to our final destinations. One middle-aged woman actually pushed me (full-on body contact!) to get her family through passport control first! (Find out how I responded at the end of this email) I really wanted to get on that flight, and realising that I had to go through passport control and security plus change terminals… all in 20 minutes… the tension was high! I was scheduled (on my original flight) to land home at midday meaning I would have had 7 hours to rest before my Embodied Alchemy course call… but if not?!!!! I was dreading to think… So what did I do when that woman pushed me? Land guidance! And intuitively, instantly in my mind’s eye, saw the phenomenon of crown shyness in trees (where trees grow up, whilst respectfully making space for each tree to get enough sunlight), and knew what to do… Nothing but be more tree! That image made me think of how good nature is at just being… At growing, living, being, breathing… Nature does life without anxiety, comparison, hoarding (except maybe squirrels?), or worries: It just gets on with being… Trees (land, animals, flowers etc) don’t compare themselves to the next tree/animal/flower or worry if there is enough to go around… And I realised that I too can be more tree, I too can keep on opening up, growing up, thriving. Just like crown shyness in trees, I can also allow space for others to open up, grow and thrive… That is nature That is our birthright Because we all have goddxx like (tree-like?) potential (Plus when we be more tree, we experience more flourishing, manifesting, ideas, creativity, peace, abundance, joy, and connectedness) So like the tree, I imagined connecting my roots down to the earth… And I accepted that it was not the worst thing to miss my flight… And I did eat, sleep, and rest there… for the next 10 hours And yet I was also still able to feel and be high vibe: to be more tree! So what do you think? Does nature have the answers? I am currently recording a new meditation: land guidance… but meanwhile, did you know there’s a free spirit guidance FREE here?
