A different kind of energy boost

I recently spent a week near Sedona Arizona for a training class and self development session using Medicinal Essential Oils. The opening session of the 5 day training started in a beautiful teepee in the front yard nestled between loving pine trees.  After the session, I was repeatedly drawn back to this magical place and spent each morning in there in quiet meditation.  You could hear the light wind outside as the pine tree branches brushed alongside the teepee.  A scurrying sound revealed several lizards who had perched on the top of the structure to soak in the morning sun.  There were beautiful stones, crystals, feathers, shells and other items inside the teepee that shared their energy for all who entered.

One morning, when I was lying on my back across the floor of the magical lodging, I felt a strong pounding coming through the earth. I thought it might have been a truck or other large vehicle passing since the teepee was not too far off the road.  I opened my eyes and the pounding stopped.  Hmmm.  I got back into my deep place of relaxation and the pounding started up again. As I continued to breathe and let my body absorb this pulsing, I realized that it was really starting to come through my chest. Kind of like my own heart beat.  When I relaxed even further, my heartbeat and this pulsing started to get into the same rhythm.  All of a sudden, I realized that this pounding was actually the heart beat of Mother Earth.   My body was so in tune with her at that moment that our heartbeats were becoming one.  Laying there for several minutes (or it could have been hours), I could feel the energy reviving me and filling me with such intense power.    This was a magical experience for sure and I returned each morning to get my boost of Earth energy.

Many times, we miss out on the simple things like laying in the grass and watching the clouds drift by. Or perhaps, laying under a favorite tree and enjoy seeing the branches sway in the wind.  Such simple pleasures can bring us back to our source, back "home" and provide us with all the power and energy we need to get through our day. Be sure to get your boost of Mother Earth energy every day. Beats any cup of coffee or tea I've ever had!
