Water Wisdom: Allowing

Wednesday, December 1, 2021

Pull back on the reins. Ease up. Not everything needs to be pushed. Some things best develop in calm, in stillness, in patience, in the space of allowing. Allow them to unfold. You are not alone in these endeavors. You’ve done your part, now allow the next part to come to you.

Practice: Many things that we’re trying to create in our lives require equal parts action and receiving. Identify something you are trying to create in your life that you feel stuck or stymied on. Acknowledge all of the ways you have helped it along and honor the important actions and steps you’ve taken in that endeavor so far. See if you can make some space for the next right action to come to you. Make the intention that you are open to and ready for the next right action. Then let it go for a couple of days and see what happens.

Water Wisdom: Bring It To The Surface

Tuesday, November 30, 2021

Bring it to the surface. Bring it to the light. Everything you’re hiding away. Your shadow, your darkness, your pain, your struggle, your shame. Allow it to be seen, processed, and embraced.

Practice: Bring one thing to mind that you have been feeling shame about. Acknowledge these feelings and allow them to be there. Choose one person that you trust to practice shame resiliency with. Then share this shame with them. When we speak shame in safe spaces, it loses its power over us and we become stronger. If you want to go even deeper with this, please check out @brenebrown ‘s work – it’s absolutely life changing.

Water Wisdom: Your Destiny

Monday, November 29, 2021

You are the only one that can take control of your destiny. Not them. Just you. You need to choose you. Be on your own side. Be fearless in your pursuit of your most authentic life. That’s the gift you give to yourself.

Practice: Dream big. Brainstorm and write down what you want for your life. Choose one thing that you want to start working towards now. Not the thing you “should” choose, but the one that is calling to you. Write down some of the pieces you need to make that happen. Commit to taking one small step this week towards that goal.

Water Wisdom: Intense Feelings

Sunday, November 28, 2021

Intense feelings. We’re designed to experience intense feelings. It’s part of our earthly experience. Anger, pain, heartbreak, despair, rage, shame, guilt, etc. They’re all valid and reasonable. When we resist, however, they persist and that’s where the true damage is done. You need to let them flow and go.

Practice: How do you experience intense feelings? Do you resist, ignore, dismiss, invalidate, or avoid them? Do you allow yourself to feel them fully and let them go? Something in between? Next time you’re experiencing an intense feeling, find a private space. While standing, allow your body to express the feelings in whatever way it wants. Move with the feelings, make noises. Our intense feelings often get trapped in our bodies so moving our body with the feeling allows it to be seen, felt, expressed, and moved out.

Water Wisdom: Listen

Saturday, November 27, 2021

Listen. Everything around you is trying to speak with you. We get so distracted by internal chatter that we don’t hear the messages we’re being offered. We miss the signs. We ignore the guideposts. We miss the directions. And the support. You are not alone. You must only tune in.

Practice: Go outside. Get quiet and still. Feel your feet on the ground. The air on your skin. The sun on your face. Smell the fresh air. Feel the temperature of the air in your nostrils. Follow the breath in and out. Set your intention to be open to divine guidance. Hold spacious open awareness. See what wisdom makes itself known.

Water Wisdom: Uneasiness

Friday, November 26, 2021

Uneasiness. It’s a clue – a big one – that something is not right, not aligned with your soul. It’s not always clear what it is that’s not aligned, so uneasiness becomes a sign for when more investigation is needed. You must be willing to dig deeper and determine the true source of the uneasiness. Then, you must be willing to act. To take gentle action to bring yourself back into alignment. This is the way.

Practice: Bring to mind a situation that is currently bringing you uneasiness. Sit with it, breathe it in. Ask yourself why you’re feeling uneasy about it. See what comes up. Ask why again and again. Continue to go deeper with it. Continue to question the answers that arise. Are you learning anything new? When you feel you’ve gotten somewhere with it, decide what, if any, action you’d like to take. Next time you notice feelings of uneasiness, explore them further.

Water Wisdom: Gratitude

Thursday, November 25, 2021

Gratitude. Yeah, we know it’s Thanksgiving and we’ll go there. Gratitude is at a high today. But we need it to be at a high all year long. Gratitude is a vital action and we all need to be taking it each and every day. You need to feel it in your bones. Even during the hard times. Even for the hard stuff. It all makes you you and gratitude makes you soar. You are all surviving, but you need to be thriving too. Gratitude is the key. We’re grateful for you. Challenge yourself to feel the gratitude and never look back.

Practice: Every day, express what you’re grateful for. It’s simple and it works. Write down 3 things and keep them in mind throughout your day. Play with gratitude in the hard and dark moments. Is there anything you can be grateful for there? Try it and find out.

Water Wisdom: Enjoy

Wednesday, November 24, 2021

This is a glorious day, as is every day. Embrace the sunshine and the fresh air. Revel in the joy and the beauty. Be present to what awaits you here and enjoy it.

Practice: How will you spend your day? How do you normally spend your days? What is something you’d like to add to how you spend your days? Can you visit the outdoors today? Take a few deep breaths. Feel the fresh air in your nostrils. The sun on your face. Feel the energy of the space around you. Allow yourself to feel nourished and unrushed for these few moments. Extend them if you want. Just enjoy.

Water Wisdom: You Are Held

Tuesday, November 23, 2021

We will hold you. We will hold you in our calm, in our peace, in our simple flow. We will cradle you delicately and fully. Without restraint. Let down your load. Hold not what is heavy. Come and rest in us. It’s time.

Practice: The water – or any natural place or spirit – is always willing to receive you. We are not alone in this life and we are very loved. What special place can hold you today? Even just in your mind. Transport yourself there and allow it to receive you, nourish you, and love you. Let yourself rest in this awareness and be nurtured.

Water Wisdom: Trust Yourself

Monday, November 22, 2021

Trust yourself. You have so much to give. But you doubt yourself. Trust is hard but worth it. Building trust within yourself is life changing. Build that trust. Trust and ye shall receive.

Practice: Look for the telltale signs you are not trusting yourself or the universe. How does that manifest for and within you? What does that look like? What does that feel like physically? Commit them to memory. When they appear, explore deeper. What is really going on? What is making you feel unsafe? How can you build more trust now?
