“The storm may rage, both wild and free, A dance of fate and destiny. It tears apart, yet builds anew; a sky once grey turns vibrant blue.
In chaos deep, its whispers call, To rise, to stand, to never fall. For fear and freedom walk as one, And dawn will break when night is done.
So hold the winds, embrace the rain, Through every loss, there comes a gain. You’re not just here to stand and fight— You’re meant to rise, reborn in light.”
We are in a time of significant change. I love to call it a changing of the guard. As we navigate these times, I invite you to sink into your most profound knowing and truth.
The medicine of the storms is to stay centred while the storm rages around us, to allow the powerful winds to strip us bare of all that doesn’t serve us, as they then bring the stillness as we settle into ourselves again in a new way.
Lightning has a way of bringing light to that which we have been hiding from, that which we haven’t yet been able to acknowledge!
We stand to be witnesses as the rains fall, as the lightning and thunder clash, to bear ourselves to ourselves without hiding, with faith in our hearts that only we can!
I have some contemplations for you this week to help you reflect on your current situation, acknowledge where you are standing strong, and perhaps where you have been hiding from yourself. I mean this in the most powerful and enlightening way!
Rains
The cleansing rains free us from rigidity and stagnation, as she washes with such intensity that perhaps it has been holding you back from moving forward at the speed at which you are now ready to.
Take a moment to imagine you are standing in the middle of a storm, with the rain falling in a way that makes you feel so alive – big, fat droplets that you can feel on your beautiful skin.
Here are some contemplations for you:
Ask, what are the rains here to wash away?
Are you ready to bear witness to your naked self?
As I ask this, please take a moment to feel the space of no judgment, as what is about to come up couldn’t have happened before.
(What are the secrets that have been waiting to be told/heard?) What wisdom are the rains here to teach me with their sacred knowledge?
Thunder
Releasing, expressing, he is showing us where we have been too quiet, where enough is enough of not being able to hide the depth of your own knowing, wisdom, and understanding, to be able to speak in this world.
Where are you hiding from your truth within your voice?
What power are you stepping away from rather than having the courage to step into?
Where in your voice are you feeling it shake when you speak?
(Now is the time to speak even when your voice shakes.)
Lightning
Strikes where we need it the most, into the corners of our psyche, our blind spots. She will come in with power and precision to show you precisely what you need to see.
What has been hiding in the dark, waiting until the time is right to be felt, acknowledged, and truly seen for all the wisdom that it holds?
Where am I ready to see what has been in the dark for too long? (What am I prepared to see and learn from?) Are there any lessons here that I am now ready to receive and understand?
Wind
The wisdom of the winds holds such knowledge. Take a moment and feel the wind on your face as it moves over your body.
She moves us in ways only she can; her power as she moves is one of incredible force.
She brings chaos and change. She can destroy what is in her path, and she can whisper gently.
With the winds of a storm, she has the power to bring in deep change and awareness. How we hold ourselves in these moments is key; to stand in a place of groundedness within gives us the power to navigate with grace, peace, and faith.
Where is the change that is wanted to take place?
(Where haven’t I yet been able to see?)
Where has my blind spot been that I can now see clearly, as the wind has removed the dust?
What has the wind cleared space for so I can stand solidly within myself?
I will close with this:
The energy of a storm is like no other. She is wild, unpredictable, and unappreciated, and with that, she brings with her a new way of being. Once the storm has passed, it’s time to move forward with a new way of living, having, in some ways, been stripped bare while also renewed.
You are not here to merely endure. You are here to rise into all your power.
