That Cleansing Wind

What a windy day today…
 
The August winds have certainly arrive and with a blast…
 
I had a very busy morning getting things done.   Taking my son to the dentist, taking my car to the mechanic and then there was some washing and house work.
 
And, if you can believe it, I even had time for an afternoon nap.
 
With the winds arriving today, in a waning moon phase and so close to the dark moon, it was a great time to get outside and start to shed some of that winter funk.
 
That crazy, deep, no longer needed energy you have been working on releasing over the winter months.
 
So after my morning of running around, I took a moment to do just that.
 
I went out and stood upon the ground.  Putting my attention to my feet, letting them sink into the grass.  Feeling the grass tickling them, feeling the coolness of the earth upon them.
 
When I felt grounded I closed my eyes and lifted my head to face the wind.
 
I felt it's strong push across my whole body.  

I was moving upon me with such force.
 
I visualised any negativity that was still hanging around being blown off me.
 
Anything that still had it's sticky little tendrils attached to me trying to keep its hooks in me, I saw it flying off my body.
 
I felt the winds move through me, cleansing my whole body.
 
It was invigorating but also exhausting.
 
When I felt cleansed, I literally came inside and cuddled up in bed for a couple of hours to nap.
 
Sleep came easy, and it was deep.
 
As I sit here now, 9:30pm I am still a little exhausted.
 
I can still hear the winds howling outside, and the windows rattling in my old little home.
 
If you have a chance, and the winds are still strong this weekend get outside.
 
Cleanse yourself
 
Let the wind shake it up a little
 
Let it move through your hair and mess it all about
 
Let it move through your body and touch your core
 
Begin your cleansing as we move from the depths of winter into the spring
