This week, I see a theme emerging in my journal articles: My study meditation and visualization led to more powerful visualizations, as well as a higher sensitivity to the energies of the Earth and plants around me (during this time, the hornworm event happened, which I wrote about previously). I was becoming more accustomed to the energies, and also a little excited. Everything was falling into place, and it was feeling “right.” I was realizing—somehow more than I ever had before—how great my affinity to Nature is.

For the past 2 mornings, for my visualization, I’ve been focusing on healing the planet, envisioning the green-gold light that I “heal with” beginning in the uppermost reaches of the atmosphere and the innermost point of the Earth’s core and moving toward the surface to meet each other, filling the planet and all its inhabitants with the green-gold light of healing & love. Once it reaches the surface, I envision it filling all inhabitants from where they are in contact with the Earth, getting into all the nooks & crannies that the energy “missed” when it rushed to meet itself.

That visualization, when it’s done, makes my eyes open of their own accord—no need to wonder when/if I’m done. It’s amazing, and I feel peaceful & energized afterward.

Beauty. Truth. …

Peace. Calm. Quiet. Here, you find us, you find yourself. Love and acceptance [of challenges]. You are strong. You are powerful. You. Are. Love.

You are loved, beloved, lover, lovee, mother, life giver, life bearer, vessel of light, vessel of care, core of light. Light heals all. Light sees all. Go in peace, walk in the light.

Hornworms all over [the tomato plants]. I finally steeled myself and killed the worms when I encountered them. It makes me cry. I know it’s necessary, but to take the life of something … I’m still crying.

***

This is silly. Why am I so upset about killing worms that were damaging our plants and food? I could almost swear one of the tomato plants was actually trying to comfort me, to let me know that it was okay because I was doing it for their (the plants’) benefit.

I reminded myself that a true protector knows that killing is sometimes necessary but never enjoys it. That makes things only moderately more tolerable.

Today, when I did my visualization of green-gold healing light filling the Earth, it was much faster, and I felt a very small smidgen of the power in and around my third eye. It was like the energy was bursting forth, like a time-elapsed video of a butterfly emerging from its cocoon or a flower opening in the spring, like magma rushing up and out of a volcano to spill as lava over everything. I felt pure joy as the light/energy from the core and the atmosphere rushed to meet itself and then dashed up and into every animal, building, mountain, crook & cranny it could find.

Joy and healing abounding.

 

Regular daily practice was really helping me be more sensitive to the energies around me and to picking up the messages from my guides. It was an exciting time. As we’ll see next week, though, my lessons were just beginning.
