Morning Meditations

Last weekend I was privileged to spend time on a beautiful lake located in the area of Ontario known as the Canadian Shield. A beautiful part of our province with massive out croppings of granite that rise up out of the ground like giant monoliths.

As I sat on a dock in the lake, I looked up towards the massive hills surrounding the cottage and the awesome sight of these boulders that were everywhere. Evergreen trees grow up wherever they can find a scrap of soil in the crack of a rock. The cottage was even beautifully built around those same boulders, weaving stairs and pathways around the massive protuberances. The deck surrounding the cottage was beautifully built around a large piece of granite without altering it. This home was a beautiful example of living in harmony with nature.

And what a magnificent location to enjoy meditation, my reiki and communion.

Morning Voices

The house still sleeps as I steal down to the lake

In the stillness of the early morning

I gingerly step out onto the walkway 

That will take me to the dock, where completely surrounded by water

I see the mist swirling and curling 

It's way 'round the trees and rocks like a serpents tongue 

Before it settles down over the surface of the water

Laying down to rest before its' ultimate dissolution

The quietness of the morning

Wraps me in an embrace

And takes me to that familiar, blissful place

Where I can slip into meditation

Blissfully peaceful ~ no thoughts, no feelings

I let the energies flow around and through me
Reiki speaks to me, "Place your hands and let me flow"

In these quiet moments, I hear their voices

As they move through the mists and whisper their secrets to me

"Don't go to sleep, we have much to share with you"
When I close my eyes, their faces I perceive
Although the world yet sleeps

These energies do not as they surround and flow through me
Sharing the words I need to hear

To continue in my journey

Now their voices begin to fade

The energies begin to quiet as the world awakens
The sun breaks through the darkness

The waters' mirror like surface gives a second sun

As a loons call cracks through my silence

Now I emerge from my peacefulness

Slowly coming back to to the world

I hear the gulls crying above

As if to wake all those yet sleeping 

Slight ripples and waves lap against the dock

Gently rocking me as I still sit in peaceful reverie

I feel alive and invigorated

After this joining with nature

My oneness with all things living and gone

My psychic abilities awakened and fine tuned

I come back to my body, my senses awake

As I face this magnificent day I've been gifted

With gratitude, acceptance and love
