Rock Reflection Ritual - Clouds

 Rock Reflection Ritual

Clouds have sparked my imagination for years! Throughout my childhood, young adulthood and again now as I heal from my grief after my dear friend lost her battle with leukemia!

As a child I floated in the water frequently! Either on the river or in one of our favorite swimming pools. While I enjoyed the peacefulness of the gentle waves, I watched the clouds drift by!

I remember pointing out every cloud that looked like an animal, shape or magical formation my imagination congered up! It was a game of hide and seek! I played this magical game with friends, family members, strangers or all by myself! 


As a young adult and mother, I taught my children this game while we enjoyed precious moments in the water!

 Learning to float peacefully, with an active imagination, is incredibly healthy for the mind and soul!

After my children became grown adults and moved on with their lives, my hide and seek games with the clouds slipped away! I found peace on the trail, in the woods and within the light of a magical fire instead!

Recently, a friend of my late friend, posted her mystical experience on social media! This heart centered women had just learned of our mutual friend's passing! Her heart sank, but she heard her inner voice ask her to look up! She did!

When she looked up at the sky, there before her eyes was a magnificent cloud that looked like a horse and rider flying elegantly, just like our talented friend! It was a beautiful image! It brought peace to our grieving hearts! She had made it to heaven! 


Our friend was a magnificent and talented horsewomen! She sent us all a magical gift from heaven! It was perfect! I am so grateful to our mutual friend for receiving and sharing the horse and rider cloud image (not pictured here) with us, her tribe! It was a treasured a very special message for all of our heartbroken souls!

Since that day, I  have been looking up again! I have seen horses, horses and riders, eagles, hands, hearts, dogs and even a unicorn! My magical game returned! My imagination is helping my heart and soul to heal, as I remember and honor my dear friend!

Have you honored your broken heart and soul through your creative imagination? Try looking up at the floating clouds?  What do you see? What do you feel? Does it bring you peace?



Manifest a magical day!

With gratitude!
