Air Element - Her Prayers
Let’s continue our exploration of our Intuition, Mother Energy through the element of Air
~ Cypress
~ Eucalyptus
Imagine for a moment you just stepped into the most luxurious spa on Earth. How do you feel as you walk into this space? What do you smell? How deeply can you inhale?
There’s a significant chance this scent carries hints of eucalyptus. The great air passageway opener. Have a bottle or plant, take some gentle breaths here with the essence. Clear your airways. Breathe deeply. Smile. You are refreshed.
Cypress, a helper of circulation. Movement. Can you feel Dry brush? Drip this essence on the bristles and brush away pre-shower. Feel the air move over your skin as the old makes way for the new.
Each breath we breathe Air upon knees Fresh in nature Prayers indeed Air moves Air expands Air circulates Air is life There is no life where there is no air There is no life where there is no Mother Set your prayers to the sky Breathe strongly into belly Allowing full expansion of lungs, chest, heart Mother Air…Energy uplifting Prayers for peace Prayers for our children Prayers for healing Prayers for truth Prayers for a better day Prayers for a restful sleep Prayers for courage and bravery Prayers for silence and subtle awareness Prayers for protection Prayers for belief Prayers for compassion Prayers for finding Prayers for connection Prayers for balance Prayers for awareness Prayers for love Prayers for breath
Air - Journaling Prompts
Consider the sky, the clouds. With eyes closed or softly opened, what clouds do you imagine up in the sky? What does the sky look like to you as you sit here quietly, imagining? Perhaps now you’d like to imagine the clouds are your thoughts. Softly formed, misty, moving. What do these thought clouds consist of? If dark, swiftly rushing through the sky, your mind, can you soften, loosen, let go? Can you sketch, paint, or write these clouds into formation, as they are in the beginning and as they are upon “letting go?” Try!
What is it that you need most in this moment? Write it down, nothing fancy or overdone, just a few simple words written. Pause, once you’ve made your note, allow your eyes to gaze softly at the words written. Can you form a prayer or a note you can send off out to the essence of Mother? Ask, let go, receive.
