The phenomenon of lightning striking the earth can be a magnificent explosion of energy where the earth absorbs an enormous intensity of pent up energies formed in the atmosphere. Once this exchange has taken place there is a sense of calm and serenity. You may ask what has this got to do with anything? Well everything for us as human beings living on this beautiful planet.
Just like lightning is a form of energy, so are human beings and from time to time our energy centers, better known as our chakra system, can get out of balance. Once this happens, we can experience all sorts of emotions and feelings, many of which can be negative in nature and can include things like anger, resentment and sadness. It’s important that we learn to manage these imbalances because if left unchecked they could lead to the manifestation of physical and emotional disease in our bodies.
The energetic connection and exchange that takes place when we connect with mother nature is so amazing, it totally grounds our energies. It’s as if all of our worries just fade away and we are re energised with immense positivity and calm, restoring energetic balance. This connection is important in maintaining our overall health and wellbeing.
I want you to think about the last time you went outside and really connected, and by this, I mean have skin contact with this amazing earth that we inhabit. This could have been a barefoot walk in nature or on the beach or even hugging a tree, its anything that forces you to stop and soak up the sunshine and truly experience the feeling of being totally grounded in an energetic sense. I wonder when you last went outdoors and felt the sun on your shoulders or consciously went out for a walk in nature so that you could just stop breathe and immerse yourself in the calming healing properties this earth has to offer. I know we are all hiding behind the “I’m busy thing” and I get that life is challenging and hectic so if you cannot get outside bring the outside in. Bring a plant in and sit it on your desk and or invest in some good quality essential oils, you will be surprised at how much this connection can improve your mood and help you through the day. Give it a try it really works.
