Root | Whale | Sweet Chestnut
The Universe Supports Me.
Are you feeling a bit unsupported, unprotected, insignificant or free-falling? You are receiving an important message to return to the natural rhythm of Mother Earth to remember that we are all connected and part of a greater whole. Sometimes when we spin out of sync with nature’s harmonious resonance, life can feel chaotic and random. You may feel unworthy of things having meaning or making sense in your life. Whale anchors you back into the stillness and support of the Divine Mother. Take some time to step out of doing, and rest in just being.
Maybe you’ve experienced a disconnection or loss of your father and it has left a feeling of emptiness? Or possibly you feel your father didn’t know how to fully support and protect you or your mother? Because of this, you may have an underlying sense that you are not supported in this world. Perhaps you over-mother, over-please, over-protect and over-compensate for fear of someone feeling unloved or abandoned? This leads to taking care of everyone’s abandonment issues and wounded parts at your own expense. Do you often fear saying or doing the wrong thing? The universe is only able to meet you where YOU meet you, and reflect back to you how worthy you deem yourself.
Have you recently experienced a dark night of the soul or do you fear being all alone? Whale invites you to remember that we are all supported and sustained by an unseen, benevolent force. Trust that your roots are tethered to the sacred tree of life that binds all forms of creation and that the universe fully supports you.

Action Steps:
Create a garden or tend to house plants to co-create with Mother Earth.
Visualize roots coming out of your feet connecting you deeply to the Earth. Imagine being able to draw anything you need up through the roots such as water, minerals, crystal energy, etc.
When did you feel abandoned? Take time to journal about times you felt left behind.
Take baths with sea salt and Epsom salts.
Learn a skill that connects you with your female ancestors, such as cooking, knitting, weaving, etc. Gather with women of all ages to learn from them.
Contemplate your relationship with your father. Did you ever feel abandoned by him or did you see your mom feel abandoned by him? Did his anger ever scare you? If so, write it out on paper to integrate it consciously.
Like whale, use sound vibrations, frequency music and gentle song to calm your anxiety.
Observe if you over-mother and over-coddle your loved-ones. Journal around reasons you do this and feelings that come up.
Try Native American drumming meditations. This mimics the heart beat.
Do things that encourage a sense of community, such as, attending healing circles, book clubs, local festivals, etc.
How safe do you feel in your body? Do you reject your body or fear you will be abandoned if you aren’t a perfect shape? When did you feel abandoned for physical appearance reasons in your past? Contemplate and journal.
Get into nature. Silently commune and just BE.
Do you fear people being mad at you? Observe if you obsess over saying the wrong thing. Notice how much you do to keep people from directing anger your way and what it feels like in your body if you feel someone is mad at you.
Are you always worried that someone might leave you? Journal around this feeling and possible origins related to your mother. Fear of abandonment can lead to putting up with physical, mental and emotional abuse.
Practice the “earthing” technique of taking your shoes off and walking on the the grass, dirt or sand.
Spend time with children.
Call upon the Divine Mother/Holy Spirit/Mother Earth to bless your life and watch what shows up.
Take naps to reset your rhythm.
