Upon stepping outside to the sunshiny streets of Brooklyn this morning, the brightness nearly blinded me. As I entered a slush covered Prospect Park, I began to open up to the day’s brightness. You might think that this also made me feel all sunshiny and warm inside. But, in fact, I felt more like the snow below my feet–all melty and dirty.
While I reflected on the beautiful day around me, the beautiful day was reflecting myself right back at me. It was telling me that when faced with brightness, your shadow will be shown, and, today, there’s something to let go of here. At this point I could have gone into self-judgment mode and hidden in the shadow, but instead I went with another option. I felt gratitude for the sun, welcomed the melting snow below my feet as a helper, all the while resting in the knowing that whatever is releasing is being replenished by light. This little walk through the park helped me to let go of thinking that sunshine=savior, slush=yucky, and to accept the bigger process at hand as peace.
It never ceases to amaze and comfort me that, like this earth, we are made to absorb light and to grow. From the roots up to the sky, bud to bloom to shedding & seeding, every step of the process is natural and sacred.
The connections during this walk also gave me an ever greater appreciation of the grounding and golden sun energy tools that I use. These tools are in direct alignment with the process of nature! And guess what? You can use them anytime, anywhere.
Here’s how:
Close your eyes, bringing your awareness inside.
Imagine something from nature that makes you think of release. It could be slushy snow, a tree, a waterfall…anything that is fun for you to picture!
Effortlessly see this image attached from the base of your spine to the center of the earth.
Allow the connection you’ve just created with gravity to pull any stuck energy away to the powerful recycling center of the earth.
Next, watch as a brilliant golden sun forms above your head, growing larger and larger with vibrations of enthusiasm, joy & peace. You can even sprinkle some sparkles of amusement in there.
From your heart’s center, give yourself this sun. Allow it to come in through the top of your head and fill up your whole body, aura & grounding cord.
Know that you’ve just released and replenished in alignment with nature!
It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood!
So sunny you can’t help but let it seep in (and out!).
