I've had many replies and questions regarding my comments on the clearing effects of rain and am taking this opportunity to expand on what I wrote July 24th :
"I am really enjoying the rain. It has helped us all tremendously in clearing layers away. We have all been going through major clearings and releases over the last month or so. The intensity of it increased with the full moon last week. Allow yourself time, sleep, lots of water, and to let go. Many old patterns, fears, pains, and people have been coming back up in our lives. Do not hold onto why, simply allow it to be so, and then let it go. The old stuff is just coming back up to be finally cleared, when you hold on, it doesn't clear. The rain we've been having is really helping with this clearing. Imagine, or actually, stand under the rain and feel it's power clearing your system and how good it feels."
The element of water is associated with emotions. We have "waves" of emotion, "pools of despair", we are "showered with kindness". Water is used to cleanse and clear us in physical ways, but water also helps to clear in emotional, mental, and spiritual ways as well. Have you ever had a shower at the end of the day to help release stress, anger, worry? READ MORE
Running water produces negative ions which balance out positive ions. It's kind of backwards in that negative ions are good for us. Negative ions are produced by lighting storms, oceans, waterfalls, running water, and many other natural occurrences while positive ions are created by air conditioners, computers, and other electrical and man made devices. I used to sell Himalayan Salt Lamps which create negative ions and help with all sorts of things like asthma, allergies, not being able to sleep, depression, etc If you would like a salt lamp please let me know and I can still get them for you.
Here is an online article that discusses negative ions http://www.webmd.com/balance/features/negative-ions-create-positive-vibes
Now, back to water, rain and lightning storms. The recent downpours and lighting storms have filled our air with large amounts of negative ions. These negative ions have helped lift our moods and to clear out old emotional "junk". We tend to carry around "baggage" that we thought we dealt with, and in part we have, but little bits remain, and add up. What I've noticed over the summer is that the old baggage, or perhaps boxes of "junk" we didn't want to deal with are presenting themselves.
Their main theme seems to be identity. Who am I? How do I define myself? How do others define me? Why do I agree to these definitions? When did they begin? Do I still want that identity now? I've noticed alot of people have been reassessing their lives and asking these sorts of questions. Like all of a sudden the pause button in life was pushed and we're looking around wondering how we got her and if here is where we want to be.
What comes along with shifts in identity is breaking of old patterns and revisiting the creation of these patterns. Often these patterns originate in childhood through traumatic experiences or learned limiting belief systems.
I suggest allowing yourself to cry, scream and vent. Write down on paper the thoughts and feelings you are having and allowing yourself to explore them. Drink LOTS of water, and while having showers imagine that the water is cleaning and clearing your emotional field.
Be gentle and love yourself!
I wish you all the best!
Love,
Chantal :)
