Honor

You may be a more loving human today by honoring Mother Earth. How do you honor someone you love? Do you listen to them? Do you offer them gifts? Do you spend quality time with them? How do you show your love and how do you think Mother Earth wants to feel your love? She is open to all forms of loving attention. The beauty of her rests in her expansive capacity to love all of us.

There is no right way to offer your gratitude to the great planet upon which we live. Any gratitude is a step in the right direction. One may simply go outside and place your bare feet upon the soil, connecting with the energy of the earth through direct contact.

For today, visit a place outside near your home that speaks to your heart. If you can, take your shoes off and touch your skin to that of Mother Earth’s. Skin to skin. You could also visit a tree that speaks to your heart and do the same. Imagine you have never seen or touched this place before. Breathe in the air around you. What does this special place smell like? Are there any sounds that you notice? Take some deep breaths and be present for a few moments in this sacred place of yours. Through your heart, send energy down through your feet or your hands as an act of gratitude. Give back to the Earth in this simple act of energetic transfer.

You are a child of this planet and there are so many ways we can honor the Great Mother within that need not be grand or complicated. Like a friend, relative or lover that we have known for a long time, we sometimes forget to thank or honor our closest circle of connections once we have feel that there is a level of security established that signals to us that they will not leave us.

Mother Earth will not leave us and we take this for granted too. Imagine that you just landed here and you are establishing that level of security with her. Thank her, bless her, hug her, honor her. Don’t stop.
