What Are the Elements Trying to Tell Us?
We lost our water for 24 hours last Thursday.
A water main burst and when they tried to repair it and turn the water on again, two more burst.
This has been a theme lately in Los Angeles, but not only here. Some of you have mentioned it happening in your cities as well.
Let’s talk symbolically- because with the intense weather in the US and Europe- fires and extreme heat in some places, flooding and severe storms in others, we're seeing both too little water and too much. Either way, there's imbalance.
Water is the element related to our emotions.
So, some questions to ponder:
~In relation to the overwhelming fire and heat, is there an area of your life burning with unexpressed or overexpressed anger?
~With the heat and not enough water, are you allowing yourself to be nourished by your life, or are you depleted by it?
~With too much water, where are your emotions overwhelming you? What emotion is out of balance?
Focusing in on any areas having infrastructure issues such as burst pipes:
~ What if the infrastructure you've built your life around can no longer carry what you're asking it to carry?
~What structures in your life were built for an earlier version of you?
~What beliefs, patterns, ways of working, habits, or identities simply can't support the amount of life trying to move through you now?
With all the above questions, sit with what needs repairing and what needs an entirely new way of being. You don't need to have the answers right away. Simply asking the questions begins the process of bringing what was unconscious into your awareness.
When the elements speak so loudly, it’s wise to listen.
This week, notice where you’ve been out of balance and focus on one thing that would bring you back. Because as you heal yourself, you help heal the world.
