I had a dream last night where I became each of the elements. I was a snake and connected with fire, a bird and connected with air, a dolphin and connected with water, and then in the end I was a pig and connected with earth.
When I came back into my regular form I buried my fists deep into the earth, they sprouted roots, and I grew into a tree.
When I was on my meditation retreat I had an energetic rising experience (I’m assuming similar to a Kundalini type experience though I know little about kundalini) – where the energy rose from the base of my spine.
The energy rise was translated in a vision of a tree growing through me, out my mouth, my forehead, the top of my head to the sky and pushing the energy along through all the channels of my body.
Afterwards, I felt like I could energetically talk to the trees on the property – which I know sounds crazy. But it was such a profound connection that I had never had before or since, just one of those strange and interesting experiences that only exists in the retreat space.
Looking forward to going back on retreat in January!
