Gathering Your Inner Wilds: How to Work with the wild Earth to Create Healing Affirmations

Happy Wednesday and Full Moon Blessings to You All!

It is said that the outer world is a reflection of our inner world. I am a firm believer in the idea that the wild Earth mirrors the wild, abundant and unlimited inner essence alive within the center of your being – your wild essence. Nature’s sacred whispers therefore have so many profound lessons to teach us about life and about ourselves too.

Like many fellow sojourners on a spiritual path, I love being immersed in the healing vibration of Mother Earth. Whatever I go out into wild spaces, I collect pieces of the Earth – feathers, acorns, pine corns, lichens – whatever she has to offer me. I love bringing these pieces into my home, creating alters with them or placing them in my meditation space. Each of them carries a story and a unique vibrational energy. I am constantly seeking out ways to integrate these healing energy and spiritual lessons. One thing that allows me to do so is by intuitively working with these pieces of Earth to create healing affirmations. After doing this for several months, I’m so grateful for the shifts that this exercise seems to have catalyzed in me. So with that in mind, I’d like to share how can do so too.

How to Work with the Wild Earth to Create Healing Affirmations:   

Prep Meditation: Find a quiet spot in Nature to sit down comfortably. Close your eyes. Breathein and out slowly as you relax and centre yourself. Connect to your inner self or wild essence for a few moments. Then visualise etheric roots growing down from that space and connecting with the energy body of the Earth. Ask your inner wild essence, as well as your spirit guides/angels and Mother Earth to guide you as you collect pieces of Nature in your environment. If you like, you can set the intention to collect four objects, one for each element, each representing an aspect of yourself. Open up to herguidance. When you are ready, end your meditation and open eyes.

The Gathering: Staying present in the moment, explore your environment mindfully. Gather whichever natural items speak to you, reminding yourself that what you are doing is a bit like symbolically gathering forgotten aspects of yourself. Choose whatever you are drawn to – a stone, a feather, an acorn, a seashell or a piece of bark. Pay attention to any intuitive sparks or insights that come to you as you go about your gathering. Both the New Moon and the Full Moon are great times for gathering.

Creating Your Affirmations: Once you’ve collected your Nature pieces, then either open your journal to a clean page or get a blank sheet of loose paper to write on. Place one of the Nature objects that you’ve collected on the page. Look at the object and attune to its energy. Write down three or four words – positive qualities that the objects embody. Once you the have words, you can then use them to create a mantra that you can use for the relevant life area. When you’ve created your affirmation/mantra, use it daily. Meditate on it or add it to your vision board.

As per the image above, a while ago I used feathers for my Air/Mental mantra. The words tied to the qualities of the feather that stood out to me were: Light, Free, Surrender and Flow. At the time I was resisting flow a lot and struggling to surrender to what was. The mantra that I came up with was thus: “I feel as light and free as a feather when I surrender and flow with the Universe.” The more I used this affirmation, the easier it became to surrender and flow.

After the Storm…and Some Soulful Sunday Reading

Last night, the first proper Spring rains arrived, a few weeks earlier than usual. Before it started, I went outside and stood barefoot on the grass looking up at the grey night sky. I spent a few long moments revelling in the sense of mystery that hangs in the air before a storm. Little did I know that the first rains would arrive with a big bang of note – freakish hail storm and all! The hail stones were big and so plentiful that they covered the garden like a white blanket of snow.

This morning all was quiet and peaceful, like mornings after a storm usually are. Again, the aura of mystery was palpable. When I went out into the garden, my heart sank a little. I was somewhat unprepared for the level of damage done to my plant allies. I spent the morning cleaning up the herb patch, harvesting broke twigs of lavender, yarrow, stevia and chamomile so as not to let them go to waste.

And then I went about doing healing, drawing on my energy healing skills and connecting with the wild essence of each plant. I said a prayer for each botanic companion, calling on Archangel Raphael, the fairies and nature angels to bring them healing. I felt their strength and resilience, so I know that with time, each of these plant allies will be restored to their natural dignity. I know that such is the cycles of Mother Nature, but I felt a little sad about the trauma of it all. However, my faith in the garden’s renewal awakened a little more when I watched my dear friend, the weaver, rebuilding his nest after it was ripped apart by the storm. Life is irrepressible, and all of life finds a way to reclaim its place in the greater scheme of things. The idea of it restores my hope in my own ability to do the same too.

On a different note, I thought I’d also take this opportunity to share lovely blog posts that stood out to me this week some soulful Sunday reading:

Many of you may know that I’m a massive tea enthusiast. So I really enjoyed Danmala Tea’s latest blog post called Autumn.

Anne, over at the Little Forest Flower blog wrote a short but heartfelt piece called The Little Girl Within.

Danielle LaPorte’s blog post, Feeling Small, was a great pick-me-up that put problems into perspective.

I chose the colour green in Radzy’s interactive reading in her new post, Dancing with the Energy, and it just resonated with my so much.

Enjoy you Sunday ❤

Connecting with Your Feminine Energy Centre

Happy Saturday beautiful souls!

This week I have a new article featured on Wild Woman Community. It’s all about connecting with your Feminine Energy Centre. In the last two years, my journey to bring my feminine Self back into balance has taught my so many interesting things. Part of that has involved diving deeper into my inner wilderness and exploring the space in my body that is strongly connected of the feminine energy. In this post, I thought I’d share some of what I’ve learnt because it has had a profound impact on awakening my own wild feminine energy centre.
