Reality graced me with a beautiful impromptu water purification ceremony a couple days ago – right at the waning of the astrological year.
Thank you to my dear friend Ben Decker for the sacred invitation, and thank you to Gusti for guiding the way.
It was an opportunity to clear, release, and recalibrate.
As we stepped into the ceremony – we were asked to have an intention – an understanding of that which we wanted to release.
I can always feel the slight hesitation as my body enters the sacred waters.
It felt cold, I went slow, and I remembered to breathe deep.
It was not only the temperature bringing the hesitation – but also what felt like the aspect of self which was about to be addressed by the water’s clearing.
It’s like the ego starts to act up right before a surrender.
And of course, as the medicine found within the poison, each layer of deepening into the surrender allows for a deeper relaxation to receive healing.
I remember leaning there against the rock, feeling the water washing over me.
In that moment – I felt the waters wisdom – I could hear it speaking.
I saw the release in my minds eye – and noticed what the water was showing me…
”I am not going to get rid of ‘this’ – but I will clear that which is keeping you from integrating ‘this’ into your being. Because ‘this’ is actually here FOR you.
This is yours to take home, and work with, to integrate into your being”.
I thought about this, and let out an inner-chuckle.
Of course. This thing I wanted to ‘get rid of’ was an aspect of my gift. A contributor to my unique power. My judgement of it is what kept it hindered, stagnant, and blocked.
But when I allowed it – when I held it as the water washed through – I could feel its gentle presence, its innocence.
I saw how I thought it was ”wrong”, when really, It’s intelligence was only trying to communicate something to me from within my own being.
I could see what it looked like after the water’s clearing.
I saw the opportunity which was presented to me. One where I had a new perspective of an aspect of self.
More presence, more compassion, more reverence. More love.
Gratitude for the Sacred Waters. Matur Suksma, Yeh Suci (pengelukatan).

Consider the following – 🤍
Is there anything you feel to get rid of, which might be asking for the transformation through your awareness?
Is there anywhere you might be able to see an aspect of yourself through the eyes of compassion?
Is there any aspect of you needing an integration into love?
