Our Greatest Teacher—The Ocean
Have you ever tuned in, sent your awareness to your feet whilst standing on the edge of the ocean, with the fluid waves wrapping around you, each wave a soft caress of liquid silk, the wind dancing across your body and the sun’s golden rays beaming onto your face? Can you describe what it feels like? Sensational, ethereal, it is a pure natural welcoming feeling that emerges within. The feeling is that of divine selflessness, a sense of euphoria, a realm without suffering—in essence—pure love.
There is an unspoken, sacred correlation between us as hue-mans and the Elements of our planet, verifying evidence of collaboration and profound insight that we are intricately constructed from the various hue's of these Elements.
Earth, the foundation of your bones, muscles, and physical structure—the human body.
Water, the flow of your blood, emotions, and adaptability—the emotional body.
Fire and Sun alike, the warmth of your digestion, metabolism, inner willpower and inner light —the Soul.
Air, the invisible force we refer to as wind, the breath that animates life, and flow of vital force—Spirit.
Æthr, the space of your higher mind, awareness—Consciousness.
The fundamental recipe for achieving perfect harmony within exists in these five elements. Just as fractal patterns appear in trees, rivers, clouds and lightning, they also manifest in the human body. Similarly, just as the vibrational essence of these Elements is infinitely expansive and ever evolving, so too is the human—continually expanding and evolving from duality into the Spirit of Oneness. When you balance these elements within, peace begins to weave through your physiological grid. Give yourself permission to tap into the Ancient Soul of the Elemental frequencies. Discover their wisdom, their guidance, their mysteries. One extraordinary way of doing so, is by accessing the Ocean’s portal—an entryway to realms unseen and mysteries untold. A timeless entity, a keeper of Earth’s secrets and memories.
Floating silently in the ocean, close your eyes and place your awareness on your heart. Feel the warmth that love embodies. Breathe in this love through your nose, and on the breath out, disperse this liquid energy to all parts of your body. If there is a specific area that needs attention, lovingly direct it there. Then move your awareness to the outer layer of your skin, feel the ocean wrapping Her cosmic arms around you, comforting you, safely supporting you. What you are experiencing is an amalgamation of the ocean’s cells and yours interlacing it’s roots. Now in this moment tap into Her infinite intelligence—ask Her to reveal inner truths, as She is the Sacred Mirror, reflecting the sky above and the depths below. Ask for Her clarity, direction, protection, and for Her power to enter your heart, allowing emotions to flow and negative thoughts to dissipate. Visualize your life—the reality that you have so skillfully crafted, being fluid in motion, untethered and aligned. With absolutely no resistance, say out loud: "I accept my situation, even when it’s hard. I persevere to uncover the lessons it holds and the blessings that unfold.” Like the veins of a living being, the Ocean sustains all who rely on it, offering fluidity, movement and vitality.
This graceful experience I refer to as a floating meditation—where you are fully immersed in the present moment, allowing yourself to align with the Elements and feel the interconnectedness of your body with the world around you.
As the great poet Rumi once said, "You are not a drop in the ocean. You are the entire ocean in a drop."
