By Water’s Edge

 Water Purification & Elemental Healing

There is a place down by the water's edge, where moss grows and emotion flows. This is where I will meet you.

Together, we will journey deep within ourselves to discover and uncover the feelings, thoughts, emotions and desires that we've placed in the darkest recesses of our being so that we could continue onward with our day-to-day lives, pushing forward just to survive.

Together, we will coax those parts of us out of hiding.

We will bring them close to our ears and listen to the whispers of story, history, memory, and longing that they carry.

We will look closely at all we have wanted to avoid up until now.

We will see, feel, honor, touch, and probe deeper to see what lessons they hold for us.

We will integrate these lessons into our very core.

We will thank them.

And then, we will offer them to the waters. We will watch them dissolve and float away on the current.

We will take a deep breath into the spaces they have left, and we will remind ourselves that this breath, this moment, this life is a gift.

And then, we will dip our toes and our fingers in the waters, and we will promise to devote every moment of our waking lives to protect this precious element, which gives our bodies life and our spirits refreshment.

We give the waters what we no longer need so that we have more internal space, energy and attention to devote to restoring the balance of the elements.

This is the nature of sacred exchange.

The waters are rising.
The fires are burning.
The Earth is quaking.
The winds are changing.

We are one with the elements.
As within, so without.
