I
have been on a quest to connect with nature spirits for several
years. My journey began when I first saw auras and coloured lights
and what I can only describe as energy. I was eager to understand and
learn more about what I was seeing. I spent many years looking for
someone to give me all the answers, but of course it doesn't work
like that. I did, however, get a lot of insights into how other
people connected to the spirit beings on my path. During this time I
was fortunate to live for nine months in the Findhorn Foundation, a
spiritual community in Northern Scotland infamous for connecting to
nature spirits. This helped me to understand what I was seeing and
sensing. Ultimately, I had to find my own way to connect and tune in.
I
started to get the feeling that there were beings wanting to make
contact with me. Inspired by Dorothy Maclean, one of the co-founders
of Findhorn Foundation, who received messages from the devic kingdom
and connected to God through the spirit of nature, I started to write
down what was coming to me. I had a lot of doubt at first and a fear
I was making it all up. This I am told is a common feeling in the
beginning. I was encouraged to trust and write down what was coming
anyway. This I did.
Things
became a lot clearer and stronger when I did a 3 month retreat in
Guatemala, which included 40 days of silence. At first I started to
look for answers outside of myself, but alas nothing came and I was
told to find my own answers, from within. Forty days of silence is a long time to spend on your own and a real gift
to have time to go within and listen. The judgement of myself ceased
for a while, at least long enough to get the messages, and I didn't
have to worry what anyone thought as I didn't have anyone to talk to
about it. I learnt to trust and listen. The more I stopped and
listened the more that came, it was an act of surrender.
Eventually
a message came that I had to write the book I had been looking for.
And slowly, day by day, the book started to unfold, messages came and
practical ways to connect to the spirit realm through meditations. During
this time I had a strong feeling that I wanted to serve spirit. Then
another message came; I was to serve spirit by being a bridge between
the seen and unseen realms that I was sensing. The meditations I was
getting and doing myself were there to share with others too. And I
was told I needed to encourage people to connect with the spirit
beings as they really need our help at this time.
The
main message I have received from spirit is that with all the
pollution in the physical realm the spirit beings are struggling to
do all the work they need to do in the astral realms. They are having
to work harder to cleanse purify and manifest in the physical. I was
told that if we send love and appreciation to them it feeds them and
helps them to do their work. They
are a bit cautious of humans which is understandable if you think
about what we have done to the planet. So the best way to connect
with them is through love. To connect with them we first need to send
them our love and appreciation for all that they do.
When
I connect I go into nature or sit in meditation and focus on sending
love to nature and the spirit beings, I also play the didgeridoo to
them as they love music. Mostly
what I feel is a deep deep peace in my heart. And as I breathe I feel
I can just be... No striving or pushing or rushing or doing. Just
breathing and being in the beauty of nature, feeling her love and
returning her beautiful gift with appreciation and gratitude for all
the love, beauty and harmony that surrounds me in this beautiful
sanctuary here on planet earth.
Ways
to connect:
If
you want to connect with them it is good to just offer love at first
wanting nothing in return, after doing this for some time they will
sense that you come in love and will start to trust you. If you want
to connect with them just ask them to make themselves known in some
way, eventually they will come forward so that you can sense their
presence. You may like to ask if they have anything they want to
share, I find it is best to listen at first before asking any
specific questions.
Gifts
of music:
Nature
spirits love music, if you play an instrument one of the most
precious gifts you can send them is music , its all about your
intention, so if you sit in nature in silence for a few moments until
you find your own calm centered state then open up your heart and as
you play your music, or sing, consciously send thoughts of love and
appreciation to nature and the spirit beings residing there. As the
music is a series of vibrations and the spirit beings are operating
in a certain vibration they can sense the love and beauty and it is
like nectar to them, it feeds them, love feeds them and this helps
them to continue their work.
A
meditation to try:
Centring
(with mother Earth/Gaia)
Sit
quietly somewhere you wont be disturbed. Somewhere you feel safe and
comfortable. You can be in nature or indoors its up to you.
Now
relax and breath. Take deep breaths right into the centre of your
being and then slowly release, do this for a few minutes or until you
feel relaxed.
Now
imagine roots coming from your feet and toes. Imagine these roots
going deep into the earth, see them going through layers of earth
through rocks and crystals, feel how connected you are to the earth.
Take
more deep breaths and rest in the centre of yourself. Feel the calm
in the centre of yourself. Feel connected to the peace in the centre
of your body, feel the peace in yourself, send the peace to the
earth.
A
message I received one day from Mother Earth
A
message from Gaia
You
are all my precious children. I share all with you; plants, trees,
animals, earth, water, fire and air. I am in everything, I am in you,
you are a part of me. I birthed you. I birthed all the creatures. You
are all of the same essence, from me. You are all equally important
to hold the balance at this time. You need to remember you are all
one. Work each day with the knowledge you are one. You all need each
other in this delicate dance.
