Before we happened to populate the Earth,

Millions years ago, the Plants, (very recent Life also, compared to our supposed Planet Age),

successfully  moved out of the Primal Swamp.

How They did, we can guess, maybe some Scientists know.

Respect to Evolution, and to the Plants!

And many Beings still move, undetected by Us.

It also seems We started on 4 legs, and moved to 2, later on.

We got Feet and Legs (and all the rest), and the amazing Virtue of Moving.

It is maybe not often enough We Remember our Great Gifts,

Movement being a Great one of them.

We Move through Space and Air, and sometimes We “Fly”.

Yesterday, I was looking at Us,

Walking, Strolling, in the Sunshine …

Spirit reminded me of Being Grateful for What I have,

for my Legs and Feet, for the Whole Body,

and I smiled inside.

Walking Miracles,

Living Miracles,

Us and the rest.

Many People will be celebrating this day, 22 March, worldwide.

Why? To rise our Awareness, and focus our Attention on the preciousness of  Water,

and remind us of our use/misuse, and the need of taking care of its Purity.

It is a great idea!

Water is extremely precious, and we “should” use it wisely,

even in countries like Danmark, where we have plenty of it.

Every day we use, and maybe forget.

All Waters are Sacred, with or without Salt.

Our Oceans are just as important for Life and other Creatures.

And… We got Water inside our own Bodies,

we are ourselves so much Water!

In our cities, Water is trapped through tubes,

and “suffers”: aware of this, we have methods to Cleanse it as arrives to our homes,

by filters, Energy or Crystals, and Intention.

Are you on your own on this day, and you “feel for” ritual, here is a simple,

and “effective” way to celebrate, or maybe an inspiration for you.

Here a visualization you may use if you so wish.

Get ready in your own best way, creating a Sacred space, have some Water in a transparent Bowl,

and some pictures of Water, or Blue colors, in front of you.

(Should you have “blessed Waters” from other occasions, offer a couple of Drops to the Bowl).

If you are comfortable with it,

take a little journey or visualize the Water places you know, may it be Ocean, Lake, Stream, River, or a Well.

Go and visit and Honor those Waters, and Bless them.

Allow the Waters to Bless you back and (ask permission to ) move into them.

Allow them to Wash and Purify you, maybe drink a little zip.

Stay there as long as the experience is fresh, maybe they will “tell you” something “special”.

Thank, and move back to your Sacred space.

Here is a little ritual you can do if you wish, expand it or change it as it feels right.

Connect to the Water through your Palms, hold it close to your Heart,

and transfer the Power of the Wild Waters you just “met”  (or you know) into it.

Bless and thank this Water too.

Charge it more, with Love and Gratitude.

(“Try to”) Feel the inner Waters in your Body,

and Bless them too, and your Blood.

Sprinkle it on  and around yourself, drink some of it,

or/and have a little “ritual wash”…

Thank for Life that Water gives us all.

Collect then some of your Water into a separate bottle, to keep for other occasions.

And  collect some to bring to a lager Body of Water, now, or when you can.

There, then, it will be released with a Blessing or a Prayer, and given away.

Water remembers.

Keep being aware of your Water use.

Thank you for doing this.

Many many years ago we were working in a shamanic group in the Forest.

We had an urge to ask a common question to Earth and Spirit.

“How can it be that Human Beings cause so much Destruction to each other and to Earth?”

The common answer, coming through different persons, was a chock to us all.

The essence was that the “Bad” happens because our Life here is governed by Duality, and it “has” to

be this way. It sounds like a “Law”, and it maybe is.

This did not mean we could not make progress, become better or improve the “Good”,

but something somewhere “had” to be the Opposite.

Realm of the Opposites, here we are, in Movement from one extreme to the other.

I would rather tell “something else”: this has come again and again, in different fashions and ways,

to many of us, so it “may be true”. Each one of us is of course free to “take it” or “discard it”.

So, suppose it is like this, how do we best deal with it?

Doing the “best” we can, supporting all what and who we each one believe is “good and fruitful” ,

exploring and creating new ways to improve our Lives and Surroundings,

by Compassion, by Friendships, by Sharing, by Love,

by gently or less gently “fight” for Rights and Brother/Sisterhood, Peace and Justice,

and… the list may go on, and we all have our own “to do” list .

For us who is into Spiritual or Religious praxis of some kind, we Pray, Bless, and do Rituals.

Purification, Prayers, Blessings, Donations, Forgiveness, Sharings, Retreats, Silence…

We have a Challenge to do whatever we can , and the right moment is any time.

On the Sun festivities,  we globally connect to all the ones doing the same Work,

and “it” will improve, and “it “will Change, and “it” will get better, somehow, somewhere, at some point.

We need to keep on Trusting Human Being, Earth, and our Lives.

We may have no other Choice.

Have a Beauty-full Power-full Celebration, alone or together, wherever you are, whatever you do.

In the next text an inspiration of you are on your own.

I hardly get “really sick”.

Was this a surprise? No, not really, I “should” have known, but…

Reminders/”lessons” are always good, presents of Life, Experience,

and they can come from everywhere.

So… I had just finished a “home-coming” ceremony, and everything had gone very well.

I had been a little tense, because of the responsibility connected, and a some participants I did not know.

Outside, Storm, Eis flying through the Air, a real Winter Evening, strong, and New Moon.

I went out to enjoy a “landing smoke”, and thanked all Spirits around for support,

basically in a tea-shirt and my thin leather jacket, real silly…

Eis and Wind hit me, but I thought it was alright, call it “refreshing”.

My body said “Careful!”, and, twice, I “ignored” it… (ego, ego…)

Two days after, I collapsed, and still “sick”.

Usually I am an active person, and three days in bed , forget it.

Now my Body dictates: “stay there”, ” do nothing”,

and I am listening! , (almost a “Miracle”, smile).

Why I am writing about this?

I “found out” that the “condition” I am in, while my Body is “sick” and “reconstructing”

is an “altered state of Consciousness”:

the Foggy “all-embracing”, “no thoughts”, “empty and silent” , “floating dreamy state”,

is “interesting” and Healing, (which is what is happening).

Body working, Energy working… need Rest and Peace.

So… I was reminded of a few “things”… And thanks for that!

Great is the power of the Body, and I need to listen to it.

“Sickness” (at least this one), can be “enjoyed”, as a different Journey.

That is it,

maybe a banality, maybe not,

or just a story, up to you to decide.

If you are going to party on Halloween night, with masks and dresses, and funny scary beings around you, enjoy, and have fun!

For us who don’t, it is each year a very special moment, a sacred moment to celebrate.

On 31 October night, Samhein, as in all other Sun festivities, the Other Reality is closer to this one, the Gates are more opened.

We have the opportunity to get in “contact” with both Our Dead and Ancestors, not to bother them, but to recall them, and honor them.

The approach can be done in different ways, simple or complicated, but a thought and a candlelight would do, since the intention is “clear”, and if one feels “okay/strong” and ready for it.

Offering a Thought or a Prayer, and a Thanksgiving, is always all right!

We honor our Roots, the Energy Dna bond, and the Life stories we shared in the past, before They left us.

If Forgiveness is needed, we forgive, or offer Forgiveness, and forgive ourselves, to release both parts.

If Love is strong, know that Love never dies.

If our contact is with other Beings, Pets or so, same thing.

We prepare ourselves as we feel and know best, dedicate a place as your little “Alter” for this purpose, summon our Spirit friends , (if we have some), and  turn a Light on to let Them know we are ready.

Pictures, objects are welcome, but more “needed” from us than from Them.

A Song, a Meditation, a Prayer, Music, Words, it all works when we have our Intention.

“Offerings”, and  “ritual sharing of Food and Drink ” can be present.

Moments of Silence and Inner Peace can be shared as “precious”, to “feel” Them,  and very appreciated from the Other Realm.

Insights, Messages, may or may not come.

Nearness may or may not come, and the Ones we wish to meet may or may not appear in our Awareness, as they are just “as free” as we are, or maybe “as busy” as we are 🙂

Should we work with “other Plans” too, we can also help the Victims of  War/Violence or Natural disasters to release this Earth and move on.

We can end by thanking, dismiss our Friends and Dead/Ancestors, close our Ritual, and go fully back to our Reality and Life.

Have a good Samhein, or a good Halloween!
