Accelerating Extremes--Redux
Moments in the Flow: The New Normal, Part Two
Hello again,
I wrote this in July of 2025 but it seems even more relevant today. Happily, I have more subscribers and followers who may not have seen this and may benefit from the information. One thing we must always remember is that our energy field affects the energy around us.
On October 1, 2024 when I got my power back after the unusual Hurricane Helene battered Georgia and the Carolinas, I posted an article about The New Normal. Little did I know that elemental weather and geophysical issues were going to accelerate to the intensity and frequency we experience now.
Where I live we are currently in an above normal heat zone which keeps us inside and grateful to have power, so the air conditioners and fans are working. Daily pockets of rainy weather have been going above or below us, so we are also dry.
This morning, I surrendered to watering the plants in my back yard. The thirsty leaves crackled under the spray. I could almost hear the bushes gasping with relief. Birds began singing in the woods. If we don’t get a nice soaker this evening (every day there is a chance of rain and thunderstorms), I’ll water the front yard tomorrow.
But I admit that, after seeing the devastating floods in the world and in the US and the devastation that was not connected to a hurricane happen quickly in Texas, New Jersey, New York and North Carolina, I’m a bit worried that my calling for rain will produce this kind of treacherous, abnormal rainfall. And I need to let go of that.
Apart from this Water imbalance there are numerous volcanos erupting, fires burning vast areas of land and property, tornadoes, and earthquakes, both major and the minors that happen in clusters. I’m sure you are as aware as I am that we have entered a time of extremes.
In my post Emotions and The Elements, I gave some information and advice that I’d like to repeat, with some additions, here. It will be a reminder for me, and hopefully helpful for you, too.
From both Native American teachers and the training of Anwen, the Muse who inspired the Revealing the Druid Legacy series, I learned we are or can be empowered with tools to work as a guardian of the area where we live. Anwen tells us that the Priestess and Wise Woman of an area were responsible for this task. I would imagine all ancestral indigenous cultures, living close to and in relationship with nature, would have had ways to engage the elements and affect weather.
The Ancestral Celtic Way
From the Celtic culture came the wisdom of giving gifts to the Elementals connected to an Element. One of the gifts loved by Water Elementals is bread. We see short ceremonies with this and other elemental offerings in the novels.
When I visited Northern Wales, our Tour Group stayed at Trigonos*, a lovely retreat center on the lake across from Mt. Snowdon (properly called Yr Wyddfa, and the area of Snowdonia, Eryri). I was there in July of 2013, and the spring before, a big storm had caused the lake to rise, and the grounds had flooded.
The morning after we arrived, I opted to stay there instead of climbing a mountain to see a cave. After seven days traveling and a lot of walking, I knew I’d enjoy a quiet day of rest in this beautiful place with a garden filled with flowers and the view of these magical mountains. I knew this was the place I’d been inspired to write about in The Last Priestess.
On a walk after breakfast, I discovered there was a creek coming from the lake, parallel with the main house. There were short stone walls on the banks near a picturesque stone bridge. Sitting on top of the wall closest to the house was a small loaf. I’m sure it was baked and left there for this purpose.
And now that some of my Readers know me better, I will say that as the arrival of Helene approached, before I got down to the other work I’d do, I threw some large pieces of bread into the woods behind my house where a creek passes on its way to the river.
Ideally, like the creek in Wales, you’d go to the bank to give your gift. My gesture put the offering a bit far from the creek at the bottom of a slope and woods that are wild with no path to follow. Still, the intention carried the gift and its message was received. Despite the heavy rains, the creek did not pose a threat to our homes.
The Native American Way
What I learned about prayer from Native American teachers is that we focus on gratitude.
Rain brings cleansing of the land and energizes bodies of water. It is also necessary for humans, plants and creatures of earth, sky and water.
The Wind has the attributes of clearing the air, including our minds and thoughts.
Lightning gives energy and life to the air.
Thunder brings the sound vibration that clears emotions.
An example is prayer for rain. Instead of asking for it to come, we say thank you for the rain that comes in a way that is a blessing for all things. You may go further to include the positive attributes of rain that quenches thirst for plants and creatures and fills the reservoirs for humans.
When I pray this way it will override my worry about getting too much.
Fire is a difficult element to control, and setting protections, using Reiki (or another method you know) and/or creating an energy dome for an area, can be helpful. Send thoughts of peace to quiet anger and counteract some of the heat coming at us and the heating taking place at the earth’s core.
Human Effect on Geophysical Extremes
The geophysical forces at work now are reflecting changes happening to the earth itself. One day I read that earth was wobbling, and I wasn’t surprised. Another gave information about how far the north pole has shifted. Another told us that the core was heating and twisting. It’s hard to imagine all of that as a response to human behavior and emotions.
But humans do have an effect. On a material level, some of this comes from unending wars that bomb buildings and shake the ground. And we’ve adopted unwise practices in overworking, clear cutting, and overbuilding on the land. We may not have the personal power to effect those situations.
But the proliferation of intense fears and hatred can be helped by sending out the energy of peace: one way is to visualize and send the calming Red/gold (Archangel Michael) and the healing love frequency of Emerald Green (Archangel Raphael) into the matrix surrounding your area and/or the globe.
Calming Stress
We have methods like Bach Flower Remedies (and other flower essences), homeopathic products, herbs, and essential oils to create a peaceful state of being.
Breathing practice, yoga practice and oriental movement like Tai Chi or QiGong, and meditation are other ways to achieve peace during this time of extremes.
See you next time!
