Étiquette : the alchemist grove

In order to enjoy fully our journey in the grove, we need to have healthy roots. We can then let them tap into the collective energy of the ground, and stand strong, but also share what made us who we are today. Our roots are the base from which we can expand ourselves, the base where we can always come back to ground ourselves, to anchor ourself in the reality of our life.

Our roots are what nourishes us physically, what we enjoy doing, what keeps our body healthy, but also what we do to take care of our body, our healthy habits, what allows us to go on strong each and every day. These are our physical roots.

Our roots can also be what nourishes us mentally. These are all the resources we can reach to learn, to share, to evolve in our understanding of the world around us. They are the books, the persons, the studies we go to when we need to step back and try to understand. There are the experiences we lived as life lessons. These are our mental roots.

Our roots can be what nourishes us spiritually. What inspires us, what comfort us, what motivate us. These are our passions, our emotions, our dreams, our life philosophy, everything that takes us further, higher, deeper. These are our spiritual roots.

Our physical, mental and spiritual roots are the main ones, they brought us what we needed to become the ones we are now. We all also have those secondary roots, that makes us the unique being we each are.

It depends on us to make sure we maintain healthy roots, and do what we let them dive into helthy ground. We are not trees, if a substrat doesn’t bring us what we need, we can move our roots to a better, more fitting one.

When I thought about my roots, I envision this mystical, magical tree and ground. To me, there is something magical in the fact to be able to step back, to go deep and to tap into everything I lived to be able to anchor myself in the now and here. There is something mystical too in the fact that we have the ability to find answers to our questions just taping in the collective memory and knowledge. If our roots are healthy, we can dive deeply into it and let it help us stand strong.

This week we check on our roots and make sure we are anchored in an healthy ground.

We are about to enter the Grove. It’s not yet the time to do so, but it’s here, waiting for us to make the first move. As we contemplate the playground of our journey for the year to come, we remember where we are coming from, who we are, why we are here, at the top of this mountain, ready to dive into this adventure.

This is a time of new beginnings. Everything is possible. We are full of energy, of hope, but also in peace with ourselves. This is a time of calm, of focus. A time when we can watch the landscape before us, when we can let our senses discover it, when we can create a link between the one we are here and now, and the one we will discover along the road.

New beginnings can be frightening, thrilling, exciting, expected, hoped for, awaited for a long time. They only come when we are ready to take the first move. And then we realized that it only depended on us. Once we decide to close the door on a chapter of our life to open another one on what is yet to be lived. We choose to act, to go forward, to grow, to learn. It was within us the whole time. We only needed to let this spark illuminate ourselves in order to give us the energy to finally, finally do what we are supposed to do to be who we are to be.

When I thought about new beginnings, hope, expectations, letting go, mystery, I had the vision of a misty valley. While we can see some part of it, recognizable territories, most of it is hidden under the light fluffy mist. The sun rising gives the whole scene this spark of hope of warmth, of confidence that everything will reveal itself when we need it.

We can now make the first move, with confidence. Self confidence, confidence in the process. Whatever comes, we are ready.

My journey.
