It's 95° in the shade. I wonder if my phone will last to uptake this scribe. What a day. Actually, the past few days have been a lot of productive work which means solidly in my head and out of my body. It's kind of a surreal feeling. You feel the sensations of totally being in the flow and in a dreamy-like state or it can be a frenzied, anxiety-type experience. Then, you realize you haven't felt your legs in days because you've been so much in your head. That's when I bring myself outside and surround myself with the trees. As I made my way out in nature, I crossed so many feathers on the ground it was an over abundance of them! I feel that they are spirit messages. I found my way to a perfect spot to lay my blanket on the ground so I can stare at the leaves fluttering in the wind which always makes me want to wave back at them. I began to feel myself transition, like a movie, from the state of feeling floaty, heady, spacey and dreamy toward a grounded awareness in my body and ability to see everything in front of me like a crisp, fresh image. I feel a sense of wonder noting all the details of everything in my environment from the leaves, the branches, watching the breeze, seeing the clouds in the sky, smelling the river air, and I realize, "ah, I am now back in the present moment. Thank you!".
Sweat pouring down my back as I lay there integrating all the parts of myself back together. I don't care about the sweat because the feeling of groundedness is such a refreshing change and release from the Gemini airy realm. Some people get turned off or confused by astrology or mentions of planetary energies as if it's some sort of 'woo woo'. It's not. It's real. It's part of the movie we live in. Ya know, this thing called life. As Shakespeare said, "All the world is a stage", so is astrology and astrologer's messages. It reflects all the archetypes in this world, the natural elements and all the energies that are at play. No one is exempt. Earth, Air, Water, Fire and Ether/Spirit. It's not woo woo. It just IS.
While lying on the ground I always hope that a snake doesn't sliver by. I see them often when walking so it's always in the back of my mind. I then moved into a lovely yoga practice, with the birds chirping and the damselflies dancing. I finished with some music and a little dance with a very fitting song by Rising Appalachia:
"Stand like an oak,
An aspen,
An alder,
Its in you, dont faulter
And if so than i got you.
Fake it, walk taller
Anything that makes you feel smaller
Leave it by the angels of the water.
Push em up push em up.
Put away your cares.
Fold them, fold them,
Fold up your fears."
