Water Wisdom: Focus

Tuesday, February 8, 2022

Focus. Focusing on focus. There is a difference between what calls for our focus and where we actually put our focus. We must learn to discern this. Don’t be discouraged if it doesn’t come easily. This is the practice of mindfulness in action.

Practice: Focus on your breath – breathing in, breathing out. Notice when your mind wanders off. What did it start thinking about? Did you hear a noise? Feel a sensation? Can those things be present as you refocus on your breath? It’s easy for us to get pulled in many different directions and feel like we have no control. But we can learn to focus and refocus again and again on what is important to us.

Water Wisdom: Determination and Fortitude in Peace

Saturday, February 5, 2022

Determination and fortitude in peace. On the surface, they seem in opposition to one another. But we must wield determination and fortitude if we want to create lasting inner and outer peace for ourselves and the world.

Practice: How do you show up for peace, both inner and outer? Are they different things to you? Do you feel inner peace is just a state you sometimes experience because of outside forces? Do you feel you have some control over creating inner peace? How do you approach outer peace? How do you understand determination and fortitude when approaching peace of any kind? Feel what determination feels like in your body. Feel what fortitude feels like in your body. Feel what peace feels like in your body. Play with feeling them all at the same time. Determination and fortitude protects your peace and supports you as you create it.

Water Wisdom: Release

Wednesday, February 2, 2022

Release, release, release. You do not need to carry these heavy bags any longer. You don’t need to see it clearly, to understand the ins and outs, or find closure. You can just put it down and walk away. Not your circus, not your monkeys.

Practice: What have you been holding onto that you don’t want to hold onto anymore? Imagine this as a blob or other object inside of you. With your hand, pull it out of your body. Then throw it away or place it on the ground and see the earth swallow it up. Place your hand on your heart and send love and compassion to yourself.

Water Wisdom: Peace Place

Sunday, January 30, 2022

Find your peace place. Connect with it. Allow it to lift and heal you. Carry it with you always.

Practice: Think of a place in nature that brings you peace, makes you feel connected, and where you just feel good. If this is a place you can easily visit, go there and soak in the energy of this special place. If you cannot easily go there in person, you can go there in your mind. Close your eyes and bring this place to mind. See it in as much detail as you can. What does it look like? What does it feel like? How do you feel when thinking of it? Notice any physical sensations you experience. Remember that you can visit this place of peace any time in your mind and do so often. Notice how it shifts your energy, thoughts, and feelings in the moment and over time.

Recent Energy

If you’ve been struggling more this week, you are not alone. If you’ve felt an increase in depression, anxiety, fatigue, tiredness, pain, or intense feelings or moods, you are not alone. If you felt stalled, stuck, or stymied, you are not alone. If you felt old stuff coming back up again, you are not alone. It’s been a week plus of funky energy. The new moon, the end of mercury retrograde, and heavy collective energy were a perfect storm over the last week or two. So if you’ve been feeling it, please know you aren’t alone. This is just a moment in time. It will pass. You are safe and loved.

Water Wisdom: Churning

Saturday, January 29, 2022

Things are being churned up right now. It may feel messy and that’s ok. Allow what needs to come to the surface to come up. It may not always be pretty or feel good, but it is for your benefit. This is all part of our journeys and our processes. This, too, is part of nature.

Practice: Have things been being churned up for you lately? What’s been coming up? How have you been feeling? Where do you feel it in your body? Have you been making space for this new wave of stuff or have you been fighting it? Can you start shifting how you’re approaching it a little more?

Water Wisdom: Have Faith

Friday, January 28, 2022

Have faith. Reject expectations. Let go of logic. How things unveil themselves to you is always a mystery. Allow it to be revealed to you.

Practice: Explore your relationship with faith. Do you have faith? Do you have faith in certain areas of your life but not others? Do you prioritize logic over faith? How do expectations play into your relationship with faith? Are you open to good things coming to you? Are you open to them coming in unexpected ways? If they come in unexpected ways, will you recognize them?

Water Wisdom: Pivoting

Thursday, January 27, 2022

Pivoting. Shifting. Aligning. We are in constant motion. Realigning ourselves over and over again. That’s the nature of life. That’s the nature of us. Don’t be afraid to pivot, to shift, to align, and realign over and over again. You are meant to be fluid, to flow.

Practice: How many times have you judged yourself for needing to change, for not already being perfect? How does this feel? Does it help you shift into a better, more aligned version of you? If not, what might be a better way? Remember that these shifts are not always on the macro level, but also on the micro level. We are in constant motion – can you allow that?

Water Wisdom: Unfoldment Continued

Wednesday, January 26, 2022

Unfoldment continued. It’s like having reservations made for you. You just have to show up. Look for the opportunities as they present themselves. Do not be afraid to change course. And show up. Always show up for them.

Practice: Think about an area in your life you want change in. How can you better show up for yourself in this area? You may not have full control over what happens, but what do you have control over? Are you open to different pathways if they emerge? Will you be able to see alternate routes if you’re focused on the one route?

Water Wisdom: Unfoldment

Tuesday, January 25, 2022

Patience. Everything happens in its own time. We must make space for unfoldment. Allowing things to unfold as they are meant to. We are not in control of it all. We’re not meant to be.

Practice: Consider a situation you are in that’s not moving along as quickly as you might like. Can you acknowledge the efforts you’ve put into this situation so far? Can you allow yourself to embrace the present moment as it is even though you’re not where you want to be? Can you allow next steps to reveal themselves? Can you allow things to unfold in their own time for you? Can you trust unfoldment is always on your side?
