A mantra for the now.

It flowed out earlier this morning after waking up to bushfire smoke in the air.

When we move though personal or collective crisis or deep change, it can see daily practices that maintain our wellbeing go out the proverbial window.

It’s normal to pause or push away on some level the things that seem we can do without. To tend first to the most pressing and essential.

Where possible cultivate and replenish a personal collection of tools that help you focus, harmonise your energy and create the space for clarity to find you.

So that when pressing things arrive and one or two or more things are paused there is at least one practice in your toolbox or medicine bag that assists you along the way.

It might be deliberate breathing, journalling, dancing, drawing, singing, moving, tapping along your meridians, dabbing skin-friendly essential oils on your pulse points, using a mantra like this one or whatever soothes, supports or uplifts you.

For me meditation is one daily non-negotiable practice. It has alleviated anxiety, supports my everyday and has buoyed me through some rough seas.

Do you have a daily non-negotiable or if you had one what would you most like it to be for you right now?

A note, and if that one tool also goes out the window for whatever reason, be easy with yourself.

I see you rain.
I hear your soothing sound.
I feel you on my skin.

An intuited soul sketch in my art journal just before recent rains arrived.

It’s so welcome and still more prayers for rain, steady and easeful rain, are needed for a land that has been experiencing a long-standing drought.

Because the land is dry, recent rains have created flash flooding in some areas and washed huge amounts of ash from this devastating bushfire season into waterways. In other areas the water evaporated as soon as the sun reemerged. 

May the much-needed rain that is helping to ease the fires, disperse the smoke and hydrate creatures and the land, arrive in the most easeful way possible for our dams, drinking water and aquatic wildlife.

Because we need the rain.

Steady and plentiful.

It was so soothing to paint this visual prayer.

As soon as it was done, I felt it wanted to be coloured in by others too. 

And so it inspired my latest offering to you.

Want the printable poster?

As a creative way to offer up a prayer for steady and plentiful rain, I created a free printable poster for you. Pop your name in below and I’ll send you the high quality printable. You’ll also be on my list for regular soul-nourishing goodness (psst. this is where I tuck in exclusive offers + freebies). Yay!

The sacred centre of you is connected to the sacred centre of all things that matter to you.

When you feel pulled out of your centre, not in your centre or off-kilter, bringing your awareness to your breath is one way to soothe the self back to centre.

Q. Can I keep my eyes open?

A. Yes. During times of heightened mental activity or intense emotional times it can feel too much, even disorientating, to close the eyes. If closing your eyes feels uncomfy, keep your eyes open and allow your vision to rest on an object or piece of nature that is at arms length or so in front of you. It can helpful too, if it is lower than your eye level.

And breathe.

When eclipsed for words…

Creativity allows relief for emotion, creates sacred space for expression and provides a holy vessel for visual prayers and gratitude.

Water drops drawn on fallen magnolia leaves (for me these represent the ancient yet ever-expanding divine feminine energy within all life), with visions of steady and plentiful rain, while imagining tucking into the heart of Mama Creator every person, family, creature, community, home, livelihood, land and eco-system touched by these fires.

We have tipped the scales of humanity as a collective onlooker to a changing world, and are being called to create the change we seek.

Allow it to be what it looks like for you.
