Sometimes a rainy day can feel really good.
I'm waiting in the parking lot for something.And it's raining out, so i'm drinking the coffee. It feels very healing and peaceful.
Its ocean rain, but I have been in the woods at times and felt that there is a peaceful quality to the woods rain as well and i'm sure if you live in the desert, it's probably a welcome thing. 🙂
There are ways to raise your energy with water.
We are mostly made of water.
We can raise our vibration by taking a shower and clearing the energy with intention... allowing any stuck or heavy energy to go down out down the drain and to be recycled in nature.
You can go out in the rain if it's warm enough and do the same thing. Many people might notice that when you go out into the rain sometimes you come in and feel a lot lighter.
For some people, a rainy day can cause an increase in different kinds of pain, especially joint pains and certain kinds of body aches. You can still clear yourself with a nice warm shower, though or a cool shower.Whatever feels better to you.
Interestingly, I went through a period of time.When even just a little bit of a change in the environment, outside with rain or snow would cause me to have very bad joint pain. Even during those times, interestingly, after I would go into the ocean or even for a walk alongside the ocean.I would feel a million times better.
If you live by the ocean, you are very lucky, very fortunate.And I consider myself fortunate to live, really close to long island sound. And I also spend quite a bit of time in rhode island on the beach.
If you live by a lake, you can also get that meditative quality.But the water's a little bit different. My experience with lakes and creeks and rivers comes from when I grew up as a child.And we didn't have ocean nearby, but spent time at small lakes and ponds and so forth. There are studies done about waterfalls that show them to be very healing. I have enjoyed going to waterfalls before interest, the sound of the white noise and the feeling of the energy in the air is very nice.
It's pretty obvious that I really prefer ocean above all things, and everyone has their place where they are most comfortable. Until very recently, I really didn't realize that the desert has so very many beautiful flowers and other kinds of cacti.And so forth, but they do get rain.And sometimes lots of it at one time. I know that the people who live in this sort of environment.They are very happy when this happens.
There's a simple exercise you can do even at home when you're taking a shower.
You can try it when you're feeling heavy or sad or have challenging emotions, maybe or stress. The time we are living in is very stressful, and so this is a useful exercise.
Get some kind of shampoo that you really love.That smells good or some soap.Because that will transport you to a happy place and raise your energy instantly. It doesn't have to be expensive, but it should be something that you really enjoy using.
When you're in the shower, you can imagine that you are in a peaceful and happy place.Like the ocean or near a waterfall or something. When the water is raining down on your body, you can imagine it cleaning all the heavy and troublesome energy.
Anyone can do this, and it's good for everybody.
Let it clear anything that has been a problem for you, whether it's emotional or physical. For example if you have physical pain, as the water washes over that area just allow it to go out and be recycled in nature. Imagine this is happening, and it's much more than imagination, because it's your intention. Your intention is very powerful in healing work, because where your mind goes, the energy will also go.
Even when i'm washing my hands at work or at home, I always have this healing feeling in my mind, like I'm cleaning my whole soul.
It's really a wonderful practice.And you can work it into your day in small ways, in that way as well.
Many spiritual traditions have water elements in them in order to promote healing and spiritual peace. Christians have baptism and buddhists oftentimes will have a small and tranquil pond with fish in it, and even a Guan Yin statue or something like that, as it is at the monastery that sometimes I visit.
Many old shamanic traditions involve singing to nature and communicating with spirits to ask for rain to promote the crops and nourish people. It's very old.
But in our time that we live in, can be very useful as well.
Step outside the box that many people live in in our society and be brave and open and allow yourself to experience the natural world and your healing abilities, in this way.
All people were born with the ability to heal. It is natural and it is normal. This is the teachings of energy medicine and nowadays, we are seeing the even big hospitals have energy healers and meditation teachers and practitioners coming in to help patients to feel better.Because clinically we have seen there is an evidence that getting into that state of healing is very, very beneficial for your health. Actually, this has been going on for a long time. But many people didn't know it and so I share it over and over again, in case people didn't hear.
If you have something on your mind that is heavy, allow yourself to receive healing. Always expect the best. We can expect the best and then sometimes it doesn't happen but then it's okay, because at least we tried. And it's changed our mind along the way.If we do this, and it has created openings for more good things.
Experiment with water and rain, nature with water in lakes and ocean and rivers or streams and waterfalls, whatever is around you whatever is the give nature is offering you.
Remember that we are mostly made of water.
If you want to read interesting ideas about water, you can find quite a bit of it. Dr. Masuro Emoto i should say the late doctor because he is now.On the other side, but he taught a lot about this idea with intention and words and music and the effect that it had on water as it was crystallizing in the lab. Using special equipment, he photographed the water as it was being frozen.And crystallized and was able to show beautiful crystals that happened with beautiful words and discordant, disorganized crystals, when harsh words were used.
You can use beautiful words on yourself. I highly recommend it every day.
Also something that I used to do on a regular basis that was much more formal back then, but I just kind of casually and habitually do it as part of my regular life now, is to say thank you to the ocean or wherever I happen to be in the woods or wherever just to look around and thank all the life around me for supporting me. It's a wordless practice at this point, but maybe like ten or fifteen years ago.I would go across the street from where I lived, and I would just stand in the ocean and give it love. I would see it healthy and clear and clean and just give my gratitude to the ocean. In fact, after it destroyed my apartment and pretty much the whole street I lived on during hurricane sandy and irene, i remember walking with my camera along the beach and I didn't feel angry about the ocean or anything like that.I felt much like I was in awe.
It was an act of nature, and the fact that my apartment was destroyed did not stop me from loving that ocean. I took a lot of photos and also the next day.I was seeing the waves still coming in. In spite of all that was occurring, it was more like a heartache because I lost so much but I felt it all come back to me when I stood on the beach and looked out to sea, realizing that things were much bigger than I could ever imagine and I felt so tiny and realized that that in itself is such an amazing gift and I just remember feeling very calm and tranquil at that point.
The healing power of the water was there even in that moment.
Experiment with water. Enjoy everything.
🙂
