Hey all - i wanted to share an experience that i had last night with a guided meditation. It was the first time that i have been able to see / feel an experience from something else besides another human being. It was quite a revelation for me - and i wanted to share it. :)
This is from a journal entry i wrote when i woke up this morning.
Meditated last night while drifting off to sleep. I used a guided meditation i found on itunes - to attune yourself to nature.
When they guided me to "be" earth (the element of) and asked me to envision what this meant to me, i saw myself and a grand tree in the backyard. My roots were firmly planted in the earth. I remember myself looking down on the yard, the green grass. I had a birdfeeder - a green one - hanging on one of my branches for the birds to feed. Also, a chickadee was perched on another one of my branches. I felt as if i played such an important role of providr for this animal. Squirrels would run across my branches and it tickled as they ran across my 'shoulders' and limbs.
The vantage point of being up that high was amazing. I was a watcher, and overseer of the space surrounding me. The warmth of the sun was comforting and made me feel alive!
I closed my eyes, turned my face and leaves up to the light and just reveled in the moment. I breathed deeply and took the smell of summer inside of me.
When it rained i also turned my face up to the sky and drank it in. I let it soak into my very being. I felt like an awesome protector - giving shelter to those below.
I felt relied upon for so many things.
Does anyone have any thoughts about this or similar experiences?
