Hello friends,
This is Crystal Dunbar from Binding Feathers.
Thank you for joining me today.
I wanted to share a few reflections on the wisdom of nature in healing.
Let's begin by taking a soft breath together,
Inhaling gently,
Exhaling slowly,
And allow yourself to settle into this moment just as you are.
In my experience,
Some of the deepest healing doesn't always happen as a formal session or ritual.
It happens outside.
It happens when we pause long enough to notice the world around us and within us.
To notice a tree blowing in the wind,
A bird call,
A sudden scent in the air,
The way the earth moves through cycles growing,
Shedding,
Resting,
And reminding us we do this as well.
When I'm working with energy and shamanic healings,
And also when I'm working with the horses,
I often find nature stepping in as a co-healer or leading the healing.
A shift in the wind,
A horse joining the healing,
Or walking away in the most beautiful divine moment.
A hawk flying overhead when somebody speaks a truth they've been holding in.
These aren't just moments,
They're messages.
Nature has its own language that is understood by everyone and everything.
When we take a moment and listen,
Not just with our outside ears,
But with our whole being,
We begin to understand.
We begin to shift,
Communicate from such a deep place.
It's so humbling.
We don't need to be in the middle of a forest to receive this divine wisdom.
Even one deep breath with a tree,
Or a few minutes sitting in silence with the sky above,
Can help open something within you.
Healing happens in many ways,
But it's so much more than fixing.
It's about remembering.
It's about remembering that you belong.
It's about remembering your own power.
It's about remembering that we are not separate from nature,
That we are nature.
When we take time to find stillness,
When we take time to take a deep cleansing breath and open our eyes,
Open our hearts,
Open our soul to the beautiful energy of nature that is all around and within,
We unlock a beautiful magic.
We unlock and connect into this beautiful tapestry of healing,
Support,
And unconditional love.
I lovingly invite you to take time outside,
Even if just for a moment.
Place a hand on the earth.
Place a hand over your heart,
And simply ask,
What are you here to teach me today?
And just breathe.
Let go of expectations or judgments that you have of yourself or others,
And just breathe.
Start to tune in and out and listen.
Do you hear wind blowing?
Do you hear stillness?
Do you see an animal or a plant that catches your attention?
Oftentimes,
These plants,
Animals,
Sights,
Sounds,
Are communication.
They're messages.
They're guidance.
They're support.
You may be tempted if you see an animal or a plant that catches your attention to Google it and see what it means spiritually.
I love that,
If that's what resonates with you.
But I lovingly encourage you to see what that means for you.
Maybe the scent of a lilac brings you back to beautiful,
Peaceful memory.
Maybe seeing a bunny reminds you of abundance.
Your interpretation of these messages is what is so beautiful and important.
Your interpretation of a bunny in that moment can be very different than my interpretation of a bunny in that moment,
And both are correct.
I lovingly encourage you to take back your power.
Open up your intuition and your connection back with nature.
See what these messages mean to you.
If you don't get the answer right away,
That's beautiful.
Know that the answer will come when it's right for it to do so.
Thank you so much for spending this time with me today.
May you walk gently.
May you be held by the wisdom all around and within you.
Sending you peace,
Love,
And light,
My friends.
Have a beautiful day.
