Green Earth Healing
Summer is green¸ at least it is in
Michigan. It is a soothing, comforting
and healing green. This green is from
the Earth Mother. It is a gift. Every morning I walk. I walk in the woods together with the green
of the Mother. It brings peace and calm
to the chaotic world. It heals. She heals.
Most people
are familiar with the chakras, the energy systems that align our body. The heart chakra is represented by the color
green. This is not a coincidence that
our heart energy and the color of our Earth Mother are green. Green is also the color of healing.
Healing begins naturally at the heart with
our connection to Earth Mother.
In the day of electronic devices, we are losing touch with
our natural alignment with the Earth and our ability to heal from the heart. We lose touch with “green”. As a kid I lived
outside. I played in trees, in the
woods, in corn fields and by streams.
Kids today because of safety issues and distractions no longer have the
gifts of nature. The trees, animals,
plants, stones, sticks and leaves were my friends. I have to beg or force my own children to
leave the comforts of home and venture outside, even though we live in a safe
quiet neighborhood filled with woods, trails, ponds and creeks.
For our personal health, the health of all creatures and the
planet we need to reconnect with our Earth Mother. The lessons learned and the gifts received
are beyond abundant. It’s time to step
away from the electronic distractions and the chemical substances and step into
nature. By loving, appreciating and preserving
Her we secure our own future. We will not
only heal our hearts, minds and body we will heal our planet and all the
inhabitants. Step into the color green
whether in your minds-eye or outside in your environment and experience, “green
earth healing”.
