Water Wisdom: Take Heed

Thursday, November 11, 2021

Take heed of what you love and what you have. Cherish it. Honor it. Nothing lasts forever except the things you can’t take away – joy and love. Honor the beauty of your experience now. Cherish the joy and love you hold.

Practice: Think about something that brings you joy or fills you with love. It could be a person, a pet, an experience, a special place, a memory, or anything that comes to mind and brings you feelings of joy and love. Allow yourself to dive into the thoughts and feelings that come up around your focal point. Sit in this space. Take several deep breaths. Feel the feelings of joy and love. Let them penetrate your whole being. Feel gratitude for this experience. Remember that you can revisit it at any time.

Water Wisdom: Balance

Wednesday, November 10, 2021

Balance. You are carrying too many things. You aren’t meant to be a work horse. Put it all down. Reassess. Allow your heart to guide you. Find the balance and honor it. By honoring the balance, you honor yourself.

Practice: What have you been carrying that you don’t need to anymore? What has been weighing you down? What can you let go of? Visualize all of the emotional and mental things you’ve been carrying as actual items. See yourself under their weight. See yourself putting them down. See how you feel without them weighing you down. Consider what you can leave on the ground. Consider what you still want to carry. Consider what true balance would feel like to you. How can you create that in yourself and your life?

Water Wisdom: Be Patient

Tuesday, November 9, 2021

Be patient. Everything comes in it’s own time. Healing takes time and there is no rush to get anywhere. We are here in this present moment. Be here now and let the rest go.

Practice: Breathe in this moment. Really look at what’s around you. See the colors, the shapes, the textures. Hear the sounds, the volume, the depth. Feel your body in this space. Feel anything touching your body. Feel through your body. Can you just be present to this present moment experience? Can this be enough for now?

Water Wisdom: Layers

Monday, November 8, 2021

Layers. You’re peeling back layers. One piece at a time. Exposing new raw parts. Exploring them. Delving in. Healing them. Growing from them. It’s the path to true healing and growth. It’s the way of all life. We must always go deeper. Embrace the layers.

Practice: How do you approach your healing? Do you think you should be able to heal something completely and never have to revisit it again? How do you feel when it pops up again? Our emotions, triggers, traumas, and limiting beliefs are often lifelong, layered opportunities for healing, always allowing us to go deeper and deeper with them. Can you make friends with the many layers that continue to show themselves? Can you know your healing and dedication to healing has still been successful even when faced with a new layer? Healing is a journey and you are a well-seasoned adventurer.

Water Wisdom: Practice

Sunday, November 7, 2021

Practice makes perfect
The old adage is true
Whatever you do
Grows stronger too

(Yes, the water is not only wise but a poet as well!)

Practice: The tools, exercises, and resources we use to support ourselves in our growth and healing are practices we’ve cultivated and continue to cultivate over time. What are some practices you have or are cultivating? What have these practices offered you? What changes have you seen due to these supportive practices? Is there a new practice you’ve been wanting to try? Now is a great time to start it!

Water Wisdom: Stand Strong

Saturday, November 6, 2021

Stand strong in the face of adversity. You are only as strong as your roots are deep. You are only as strong as your willingness to go deep, to feel deeply. A wall around your heart doesn’t make you strong. True strength comes from within and is found in the exposure. Honor your pain while you remain.

Practice: Visualize a young tree. Thin, lanky, and somewhat bare. Open to the elements. Notice how it responds to sun light. Notice how it responds to wind. Notice how it responds to rain. Notice how it continues growing and being through every element and season. What qualities make that possible? How can you bring those qualities into your own life? Who do you want to be in adversity? How do you want to be when in pain?

Water Wisdom: Faith In The Darkness

Friday, November 5, 2021

Have patience. Growing comes easy when the time is right. When the soil is rich and soaked through, the warmth of the sun’s rays will find you and give you new life. This is not the end, but only the beginning. Faith in the darkness allows for the light to find you.

Practice: How do you make peace in your own personal darknesses? How do you cultivate hope to make it through? Imagine yourself as a seed that’s been planted deep in the earth. How do you experience faith in that moment that packed dirt and darkness isn’t all there is? Just like a seed, you are meant to grow. Can you welcome it?

Water Wisdom: Trust

Thursday, November 4, 2021

Trust. Trust. It’s already hard, isn’t it? Trust the flow. Trust yourself. Trust each other. Trust the forces greater than you. Trust in the simplicity of trust. Harness it and grow from it. Get in the flow of trust.

Practice: Trust. Feel into what comes up for you when you think about trust. Do you feel resistance to the idea of trust? What is behind that resistance? Trust what comes. What does dismissing trust offer you? How might it be keeping you safe? How might it be keeping you stuck? How can you trust trust? Breathe. Feel how true trust feels inside of you. Continue creating that feeling and that trust.

Water Wisdom: Let Go & Be Free

Wednesday, November 3, 2021

Let go. Be free. Show up as you are. Let yourself flow.

Practice: Take a mindful moment. Bring your attention to your heart center and feel into that area. How do you get in touch with the deeper parts of you? Who or how would you be without the world’s expectations on your shoulders and whispering in your ears? Can you access that essential part of you now? Can you be present to them? What do they want and need?

Water Wisdom: Be Here Now

Tuesday, November 2, 2021

Be not afraid. Move slowly. Take your time. There is nowhere to “get to.” Be here now. Peace is an action. Slow down and be present.

Practice: Follow your breath. Breathe in, breathe out. For 3 breath cycles. Feel the peace of the present moment. What do you find? What is present for you? How can you be more present to your present moment? Can you find a sliver of peace even while experiencing chaos?
