VOICES FROM THE SKY AND THE EARTH

Voices tend to communicate with us in some way, whether they are voices we hear or feel it matters not, therefore when we think of an earthquake, we can imagine, if we use some creativity that the earth is telling us that it is still in charge, no matter how savvy we become as a people, it is still our master, and we, its children.

    Like earthquakes, our own bodies send us messages, sometimes in the form of anxiety or depression, these messages are good for us, they let us know that something is amiss in our life and that we need to change some factors internal or external about ourselves or our lives. Imagine driving around a town with no signs to guide you to your destination, how would you find your way? These messages provide that direction for our psyche.

   The problem is that when we receive these “quakes” or messages from our bodies, we tend to want to medicate them or to push them away because they "don't feel right" we want to make them go away, never listening to them and trying to figure out what they are trying to tell us. We need to stay in that “quake” to learn from it, but most of us have lost the power to “stay in that feeling”.

1.       What messages has your body and mind been trying to send to you? Why have you ignored them?
