Showers of Renewal
April rain streams down upon us and we reflect on of all the renewing and cleansing properties of water. Water as a nourishing element provides the opportunity for growth, but only to the extent we are prepared to absorb it. Water as a cleansing element can wash away old habits, thoughts and patterns in our lives. Water as an energy force gently moves us forward, guiding and navigating our path. It finds it’s own way, and no earth or obstacle can block it for long.
Water governs the second chakra or Svadhisthana. Here water is a passionate energy force. It is the force of our feelings, our desires, and of movement. The sciences have taught us that two thirds of our body is made up of water, and so we find ourselves in a constant internal wave of change, and evolution. In the womb, water is our nurturer. In our tears, water is our comfort. Like a lake we can be still, balanced, and content. Like the moon pulls on the ocean and forces the tides, we move with the force of a wave toward our desires. No doubt we are as we flow, and we are best when flowing to our source.
