And down came the rain.....

Mother Earth has today bestowed upon me a wonderful gift, one I did not see coming and one I will treasure forever in some special part of my Soul.
All those who read my posts know I never get personnal and only very seldomly do I tell /share my own experiences. However today something happened that made me want to not keep it to myself, because all who are feeling as lost as I was today deserve to know,  in the hope that my experience  will come to them as ambrosia to the soul, as this wonderful rain that is now finally coming down on Portugal, renewing the cycle of nature and soaking the land so it provides food for animal and human alike.
 
I am fortunate enought to have many ancient trees right at my workplace. Part of the garden is neatly kept but other part, more hidden, is allowed to be wild and harbour the magical spirits of old.
It was lunch time and energetically and healthwise I was far from being at my best.  It had been my intention to work with the Elements (praying for rain) and find solace by the trees in the less kept part of the garden. Found a tree that welcomed me and sat down, seeking to ground myself and drink from the energy there. For the longest time it was difficult to clear my mind and "listen to the silence". Leaning against the tree trunk for what seemed an eternity I was able to finally simply not think.

Once I was done with my meditation, I thanked the tree for rocking my worries away. Looking down to pick up the stones I had carried with me, I suddenly noticed a nail, a huge, rusty nail, burried deep in the trunk.

Sometimes things are what they are and when dealing with other beings we need to make sure we are not taking something that is  supposed to stay and not leaving something that in fact should be taken away. So my next step was to ask the tree if I could, if I was allowed...if that nail had already served its purpose. I felt an acquiescence, a soft certainty that "yes, it´s now time"!
The nail came out more easily than I had hoped. Now, as with everything in the energetic/spiritual world, when we take something, we must put something in its place, so it was time to fill that space emptied by the nail with green healing light. I again put my hand against the tree trunk and summoning the green energy visualized it healing what had now been made whole.

It was then that I again felt the soft voice saying to me -"as you have healed me and made me whole by removing that nail, so will I heal you and make you whole by removing your nails".
Most unexpectadly I could "see" a white beam of light penetrating my heart chakra, removing nails and filling the now empty spaces with the pink light of Universal Love.

The opressive feeling I had been experiencing since early morning abandoned my body and it was replaced by a sense of relief, of undying, unending Love for all the Souls who dwell here. Tears streamed down my cheeks while I was still trying to come to terms with what had happened. Tears of gratitude and love for the exchange that took place, tears of relieve for feeling grounded, whole, happy and strong. In my now healed heart lingers a deep sense of gratitude for my tree-friend.

Brightest blessings,
Ana
