Beautiful Creation

Beautiful Creation - A Shaman once advised me to pick up a stick on my walks. As I walked, he told me to blow my worries, my angst and emotional pain into the stick. Once I had finished my walk and my thinking, I should take the stick home and burn it. As the stick begins to burn my negative thoughts would be sent up in the ether. The same can be done with a pebble, but when you have completed your release, you throw it in a body of water to wash it away or bury it to give it back to the Earth. I find this process very cathartic and helpful. It’s deeply unhealthy to hold on to negative feelings. It affects our body and our mental health. I love this photo of a mandala made by natural elements, it inspires me to give back to nature every time I’m walking during this time. Perhaps something to leave others to look at until nature reclaims it.
