Connection to Creation
“When you are in the woods, you cannot ever be lost. You are surrounded by friends and surrounded by God.”
- Elder Joe Coyhis, Stockbridge-Munsee
The breath connects us to ourselves, to each other, to all of Creation. It opens up the unseen world, the spirit world or the astral world in our perception. When you breathe with the intention to connect, talk to your ancestors and remember your place in the sacred hoop of life, you remember your interconnection to all our relations. When you remember your interconnectedness to life, you will make different choices because Creation and all your relatives will be on your mind and in your heart. You will remember that your actions can lift up Creation a little or bring it down a little. It is a great responsibility, this sacred life. The breath helps us remember how to take care of our personal life force and by extension, all of life.
You cannot be lost in the woods of your mind or the concrete jungle when you practice with correct intention to remember that your life matters and you have purpose, gifts and an impact on the world around you.
Saying we are interrelated and connected is different from experiencing it. Sit down with a 6-second breath in and out for 5 minutes at least. and then try this meditation to feel your connection to Creation.
With love friends,
Malina
