Wading through murky waters

Growing up, I always had water around me, whether is was a little stream in the woods, a crystal clear lake with a swamp off to one side, a river in the back yard, another stream through the woods and now, the ocean.

I would lose myself for hours in the magic and mystery of the woods and the little stream. I was always fascinated with the branches and logs that had fallen across the water, slowing the water enough so that leaves would get caught and pile up, creating a dam and stopping the flow. It’s still a vivid memory, the way the water changed when I removed the blocking branch. First the leaves would get carried away, the water would turn real murky as the new flow of water stirred up the accumulated debris, clear water gradually mixing in and washing the stagnancy away. The settled muck disbursed into the water, exposing the hidden sandy bottom. Crystal clear water flowing once more.

So is life. Blockages within our lives, bodies and environment create stagnant energy, blocking the flow of newness and clarity. Once these blockages are removed, fresh energy flows into our lives bringing with it new experiences and abundance.

“The underlying attraction of the movement of water and sand is biological. If we look more deeply we can see it as the basis of an abstract idea linking ourselves with the limitless mechanics of the universe.” ~ Sir Geoffrey Jellicoe

There are countless methods for releasing energy blocks in our bodies, environment and life. Anything that moves energy works. Journaling, yoga, qi gong, tai chi, energy work such as massage, Reiki, chakra work, or reflexology; a fast or detoxifying diet, feng shui, clearing clutter…

Below are some posts I’ve run across on stagnant and negative energies. Take the time to read through these and let the crystal clear water flow into your life, allowing the murky waters to move on.
