PRECIOUS ARE THESE MOMENTS

The night before last I was up all night with Ella (beloved dog friend). She was in a bad way. Since Ella arrived in my life at 3 years old my first healing go to's for her have been sound and crystals. This night was no exception. I sang cleansing and soothing songs and toned through her field. In my minds eye I kept seeing my medicine drum so I acted on that and played to her. Ella though completely exhausted came through and we took her to the vet early in the morning who had great concern about her heart going into failure. But I had this strong rooted knowing that the worst was over and now it was her exhaustion to nurse. When her bloods came back the vet said "wow I have never seen a 13 year old dog with these results, this is what we would expect from a puppy". The heart ultra sound just showed a slight murmur but not a worry. In the middle of the night when Ella was at her lowest point even though I felt powerless the power I had was and always is with my intuitive and somatic instinct. I considered taking her to the emergency vet there and then but I kept seeing the drum so I followed my root. It was like turning a switch as soon as I started to play Ella went from a fragile, stressed state to centring, breath slowing down and resting for the first time. We still had a lot to get through but now she was physically able to release the poisons from her body. In the morning whilst parked in my car I burst into tears. All I could think of were how precious moments are. As I sat in my car a giant Autumn leaf landed on the bonnet face up. Fallen yet open and then in a flash the wind came and blew it off and I watched it roll away along the road. Another precious moment, my senses present taking in the wisdom reflected through one autumn leaf. Staying with our root can look ridiculous to an outsider, illogical, non-sensible but when we are present with our root it is un-ignorable. We can no longer go along with status quo but instead we practice self sovereignty, we take into account our body wisdom, our instinct and intuition that inform us. When Ella got home from the vet I set up a crystal grid for her and for the first time she fell into deep sleep and laid all the way down on her side. She continued to sleep for hours. Those little moments like a first drink, her appetite back, her quietness after the chaos, watching her chest move up and down feel precious. I feel softened by uncertainty, this idea of letting go with an open hand and knowing that I really have control over very little! One thing for sure is Root Medicine is needed more than ever in the world now. When we listen to our root we understand there is not one size fits all, what we do in one moment may be different for a similar circumstance in another moment. Our root connection keeps us connected to our Individual intelligence and gives us a strength of sovereignty so we can make choices without being swayed by collective fear, guilt and or bribery to fit in with the status quo.

Stay anchored in your root and rooted in your heart,
