Firelight Blessings: Meditation Day 15

I dreamt about my friend who crossed over in July. It was a beautiful experience, We traveled to all of our favorite places together. We went to her favorite riding places and rode our heart horses together. We went to my favorite riding places and rode our heart horses together. We took turns playing with our horses and laughing. We trimmed horses feet and discussed life. It was a joyful experience.

This morning, I wondered if I even needed or wanted to, officially meditate because my dreams had been such a lovely and happy experience. I decided to turn on a meditation soundtrack mostly because I had time and I was awake. I didn't need more sleep.

I turned on the Singing Bowl meditation before I rose for the day. It is one of my favorite soundtracks now. I was pleasantly surprised, when I saw pictures of our winter wonderland, here on our property. It was as if I was actually driving through the snow, past our trees and our meadow, like we have been doing for the last 2 days. I even heard the crows calling to each other as if they were saying, come join us, it's amazing out here.

The 4 elements came up. Fire, wind, and water were the first 3. However, earth and grounding were the 4th elements that I was given. Is that actually the 4th? (I remember thinking that I need to look up the 4th one, just in case I am wrong. Did I hear my team correctly?) Yet, grounding and earth was what I was given, so I am going with that. (I looked it up, Earth is the 4th element, but I was also told that grounding to the earth is important and is part of the 4th element.)

Fire came to me, when I was seeing the brush piles. They are not burning, but years ago we burned them during the winter. It was a sad memory, because I remember seeing bunnies run out of the piles. We had burned their shelter. Now we pile them for the bunnies, which currently feels like the very best solution for the brush piles. They eventually decay and return to the earth, but until then, they provide shelter for many.

Wind appeared, when I was being shown the piles of snow, that looked like waves that had been created during a recent blizzard we had. Those huge waves of snow were outside of the trees. Inside the trees and inside the meadow area, there were no snow waves. This area was protected and sheltered from the wind by the forest trees.

Water was next. Interestingly, the water appeared while looking at the snow waves, too! I was reminded that these waves will melt soon. The water will nourish the wildlife, the trees and the grasses. I was also told that water is incredibly powerful. It flows and moves with the earth. As it does it erodes new pathways and moves dirt, sand, rocks and more, depending on how much water is moving at one time. I was shown a picture of our arena after a heavy rainfall. I am always amazed at how much sand is moved by the gushing water as it moves down hill.

I remember looking for the owl, but I did not see it during this meditation. However, I could feel its strong, calming, loving, and wise energy. I was reminded to appreciate, protect and nourish mother earth. Be grateful, protect, cherish and nurture the 4 elements of Mother Earth.

The connection between ourselves and nature is vitally important. Do not forget this connection. Do not allow it, the connection, to become a lost art.

What can we do to stay connected to mother earth, wind, fire and water?

How do we protect this connection, so it does not become a lost art?

Could our connection, to nature and the 4 elements, already be a lost art?

Manifest a magical day!
