Happy Love Our Mother Earth Day!

what a perfect way to spend earth day…. with young haiku poets in a zen garden like that on the island of the rising sun…. a sacred space rendering the effusive seven year olds speechless as the serenity of the garden enters their wild cells so deeply… i re-member the very first “earth day” forty-six years ago as if it happened yesterday and what a delight to hear what it means today to our earth children… these young souls born into sustainability, realizing the preciousness of water and fresh air, appreciating all our relations and the importance of working together to honor our island home… yes, perfect way to spend earth day, everyday…

i’d love your joining me in this moment in a meditation to invoke the spirit of our earth mother into our one body… sit easy with a straight spine and a light neck and begin breathing in deeply and comfortably… raise your arms up 60 degrees from horizontal, elbows and wrists straight… stretch your body forward slightly with the angle of the palms following the angle of the arms and the fingers are straight and together, thumbs relaxed… imagine a flame in the center of your being and continue to breathe deeply dropping deeper and deeper into the core…

in closing, inhale deeply with a prayer for peace and our earth mother creatrix.. hold for 15 seconds, exhale, inhale deeply feeling in your heart the blessing of the divine mother… hold for 15 seconds, exhale, inhale deeply feeling the taste of the sweetness of life… hold for 15 seconds, exhale radiating deeply our mother’s love…
