Soul Retrieval for the Earth
Lay upon the earth. Your head is in the North direction.
Journey to your medicine place: Relax, envision a favorite scene in nature, walk upon a path and come across an opening in earth. Go into the opening and walk down a natural stairway. You arrive at an entrance archway, a doorway, a portal, with light as the door. Feel the warmth of the light warm your body as you approach it. Pass through this light veil, and you are now in your medicine place. Within your medicine place, offset from the center, is a flowing sacred silvery river. You enter into a canoe and journey down the river, deeper and deeper into the earth.
You come to a shore, where there is a mountain with four cave openings. Also on this shore is a small log lodge, where grandmother Earth lives. She greets you and tells you of the four entrances in the mountain known as the caves of the worlds ends. You ask Grandmother Earth for her permission to help and to enter the caves.
She explains to you the meanings of the four caves, where all her lost soul parts have retreated. She states that she will show you what is in these caves that are special to you and your ability to help restore the earth.
The first cave, the cave of wounds, is where Grandmother earth s soul parts left related to trauma.
You use your intention and intuition to talk to this wounded soul part and ask the part what is needs to be willing to come back.
Grandmother earth now guides you to the entrance of the second cave, the cave of counsels. Within this cave are all the stored contracts and belief systems that we agreed to at one time to hold up our world. These are now all broken and must be renegotiated. You help renegotiate.
Grandmother Earth now takes you to the cave of famine. This is where the lost desire and passion for the earth are stored, the passions that Grandmother earth has forgotten, where she fails now to remember who she is or what she wanted to be. You ask this part "What takes them into this place where time stands still for them"?
Grandmother Earth now takes you to the entrance to the fourth cave, the Cave of plenty. It is within this cave that she hands you seven sacred golden corn seeds. She tells you to take these seeds back with you, for within these seven seeds is what is needed to restore and renurture the earth. She hands you the seeds and asks you to plant them.
You get back into the canoe and travel back to your medicine place. You depart your medicine place, with seeds in hands, and approach the portal with the Veil of light, you pass through this portal, go pack up the stairs, and walk again upon the path that brought you to the medicine place, and return back to full consciousness.
You now stand, holding the sacred seven golden corns in your hands, and plant one into a small medicine wheel upon the earth. You plant them by putting one in your hand, and make a small loose fist, blow the seed back into the earth. You plant one in each of the seven sacred directions, east, south, west, north, below, above, and in the center. You feel good, for this magic agawela, the corn seeds, restore, and protect grandmother earth. The corn is sympathetic with the heart of the earth.
Perspective
One day a father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to a farm with the firm purpose of showing his son how poor people live. They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family.
On their return from their trip, the father asked his son, "How was the trip?"
"It was great, Dad."
"Did you see how poor people live?" the father asked.
"Oh yeah," said the son.
"So, tell me, what did you learn from the trip?" asked the father.
The son answered: "I saw that we have one dog and they had four. We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden and they have a creek that has no end. We have imported lanterns in our garden and they have the stars at night. Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon. We have a small piece of land to live on and they have fields that go beyond our sight. We have servants who serve us but they get to serve others. We have to buy our food but they grow theirs. We have walls around our property to protect us but they have friends to protect them."
The boy's father was speechless.
Then his son added, "Thanks, Dad, for showing me how poor we are."
Isn't perspective a wonderful thing?
Makes you wonder what would happen if we all gave thanks for everything we have, instead of worrying about what we don't have.
Appreciate every single thing you have, especially your friends!
Please pass this page on to friends and acquaintances to help them refresh their perspective and appreciation.
Life is too short and friends are too few.
