There have been many posts in my Facebook feed asking for prayers for relief from the fires out West. This has become part of my daily offered blessings. Today, I saw a post come through my feed. Suddenly, a vision popped in my head of me holding the fire in my arms like a child, rocking it in a rocking chair, soothing the fire, whispering that it is all OK. This technique was passed to me by Renee. She told me about something similar Sai Maa would do with a hurricane. It seems now it is for me to do for these fires.
One of the strongest sensational memories of my childhood is my mom holding me and rocking me in our rocking chair. It felt like the world was at peace and my body would completely relax and fall into sleep. The soothing feeling of being held and rocked was an amazing gift. I have that rocking chair in my home today. Even just looking at it, my body remembers the soothing feeling of being held in mother's love.
This feeling of being held in mother's love has been so healing for me over the years. Healed by remembering being held by my own mother and being held by Mother, by Goddess. Many times on my journey when I have felt abandoned, lost and despair, I was comforted by envisioning being held and rocked by the Goddess. The Mother's love surrounding me, soothing me, telling me that it is all OK.
I wonder if the fire spirits need to feel that love now. Perhaps they feel abandoned and despair. Perhaps the raging through the land is a cry for love. So, I answer that cry. Channeling the love my mother gave to me, the love I gave my children in former lives, and the love the Goddess gives us all, I hold these fires in my arms like a small child, and rock them, soothing them, loving them.
Love is the answer. My mind knows this truth. Sometimes spirit needs to remind my heart. This morning I was reminded suddenly with a strong vision and feeling. So I offer it as my prayer. Thank you Renee for passing this wisdom on to me.
Blessed Be.
