I’m in my favorite spot on a cool August morning and I have a cold.
I have not been feeling well since Saturday and my voice is very scratchy and my energy is low and I am congested and thankful all at the same time.
Something about the fear in the world about getting Covid makes me very thankful to have a cold.
I remember my mother telling me that a cold sometimes takes three days to come, three days to stay and three days to go.
This seems to be one of those type of colds.
They used to kind of depress me but this time I am still feeling my commitment to tapping into joy.
I don’t feel great but I’m here in the forest walking slowly, being present, feeling the healing from being out in the forest and so grateful that I have this opportunity.
And now I am here to stand in the presence of the trees and receive a blessing from the trees for me and for all of you.
A Blessing from the Trees
We are here and we are so glad you are here.
Healing and blessings are in every step, every breath and every moment.
In every moment you can pause and receive blessings from every breath you take.
Every step you take open and receive healing blessings.
Allow yourself to expand your awareness.
Shift into being the forest and not just the tree.
When you are the whole forest you are always whole and complete and alive and well.
One tree alone can go through a struggle, can have wounds and broken branches and rot and decay.
As a part of the forest it is always alive and good and every part and stage of its growth and eventually of its death is part of growth.
Feel that you are an expanded forest of beauty and light and growth and connection and interconnection even in a moment when you do not feel completely well
Feel this in this moment.
Expand your consciousness.
You are a forest of expanded awareness and expanded consciousness awakening to all the interconnected beauty and growth that you are always a part of.
The small moments that hurt are still part of the great, expanded, joyous beauty with which you are always connected.
We are opening for you in this moment access to healing.
We are opening for you in this moment access to light and love and blessing.
Pause as you read this and open your heart, your soul, your mind and your being and receive.
Breathe and receive and be in joy.
Feel that you are being uplifted and expanded beyond the constrictions that have kept you playing small and fearful, afraid in doubt, restrained from the best that you can be.
Trust the moment.
Trust yourself.
Open and know that you are on an accelerated path to expanded consciousness, to the expression of the soul of your being and the essence of who you are.
You are not the small, fearful, restricted being that you once were.
Now there is the courage and strength within you to expand and shine your light.
You are alive and bright and beautiful, ready and able to shine.
Trust this moment.
Say yes and feel blessed.
