Well I've spent all morning doing the housework. And do you know what, it's been an absolute joy! Really, I'm serious, I've savoured every moment of it. incense burning, uplifting music and a time to really nurture our home. Sometimes we can all get too busy to really nurture our environment, be it our home or our workplace, but it's just an outer display; a representation of what's going on with our inner space.
I love tending to the nurturing of our home, as in turn its nurturing me. This morning I took great pleasure in going out into the garden to cut some fresh yellow roses for the vase in the hallway. So now when we return home we are welcomed by the freshness of the buds breaking into bloom..... think about it, if our environment is displaying what's going on, on the inside, then my yellow roses tell me that my confidence, knowledge, self esteem, authenticity and personal power are beginning to bloom!
For those of you who know me, you'll know that I always look for the meaning and symbolism in everything that I notice around me. The clues are there if you just open your eyes enough to see. "Seeing" seems to be a topic for me this week. For those of you that receive the Get a Life! newsletter, you'll know that "Seeing" ..... really seeing...... has featured in this month's writing too.
I had a long discussion with a good friend of mine just a few days ago about the energy of nurture. It doesn't matter if you're male or female,the feminine energy of nurture is so important. We so take forgranted at times the importance of expressing this energy. For me it can be something as simple as taking pleasure in doing the housework, knowing that I am lovingly nurturing our home and therefore ourselves.
Being a reflexologist and a Solestry reader, a sure sign of you not engaging with the nurturing energy is neglecting your feet! ( For me the Feet are a reflection of the person- or in other words, the sole is a reflection of the Soul ) So go ahead, check out the condition of your feet..... what do they say about you ??? Afterall, they're carrying you
through life... that's got to count for some effort to nurture them surely?
In simple terms, if we do not nurture our environment, our homes and ourselves we don't have the capacity to grow. Just in the same way a gardener nurture's their seedlings, or a parent nurture's their child..... nurture is imperative for growth!
So I urge you today.......
Stop and take a look around you.... your car,your office, your desk,your home...... what do you notice?
How does your outer nurturing reflect your inner nurturing?
What will you do to connect with some nurturing energy today?
Until next time,
make every moment count !
