Green Man

The Green Man is speaking to me again! In Celtic belief the Green Man is the Spirit of Nature, the Spirit of the woods. Wildness and passion are a part of the Green Man's character. I'm sure you've seen representations of him as a face of a man covered with leaves. For me his presence was strong about 10 years ago in my life. Now, he has resurfaced. Perhaps it is because it is spring, or he is returning because the world is now asking us to live green. For whatever reason, he is returning and he's connecting with my heart. He was reignited in me at the Celtic Shamanism training on the Druid Wisdom Tales with Tom Cowan. I feel he is challenging me to look at my own wildness (or unwildness) and passion. So many times I find myself living the same life day in and day out. He asks me to connect with the wildness within my heart, and ignite that passion that is in my heart and live fully alive! When I look at the forests, the trees now budding out and flowers blooming, I am captured by the glory of nature in all of its becoming! Such fertility and beauty! Let us look today at our own lives and see if we can bring more wildness and passion into our lives so that we can "become" and feel that nature connection of fertility, creation, wildness, passion and beauty! Awesome!

May the Green Man visit your heart today,

Re-Connection

What a weekend! Had a wonderful weekend at the Tom Cowan workshop on Celtic Shamanism and the Druid Wisdom Tales. It was so heartwarming to re-connect with old friends and to make new ones! I love sharing at that level that tickles the brain and causes you to go into your life with new ponderings and journeys. I experienced some phenomenal journeys where I found myself back in Ireland, in the earth chambers. I re-connected with the Green Man who is opening my heart again. I also walked the outdoor labyrinth several times which helped to ground me in this reality and gently enfold me in its pathways. I felt cared for and loved at this workshop, gently held within the arms of the universe. I sense an inner shift of the heart. Now is the discovery and adventure of the path ahead!
Take a moment today to reconnect with nature and breathe in it's breath, smell its aroma, see its beauty. Fill your heart full with the sounds of nature and the warmth of the sun. We too are a part of this universe, a part of this beautiful earth. Know you are being gently guided by the universe who loves you~
May the beauty of the day surround you with its wisdom,
