Spiritual Awakening: Getting Blown!!!
Okay where did your mind take you on that title? As part of my spiritual awakening I have learned that sometimes sitting quietly outside and being aware of the wind you will find the answer. I have developed a spiritual practice that I like to call Getting Blown where I sit quietly outside with my hands face up in my lap and my feet firmly on the ground my eyes closed allowing the wind to blow around me and through me. There are times I will burn incense as I do this and many times I find the answer. When was the last time that you took a moment to just quiet your mind and find the answers that are blowing in the wind?
Spiritual Awakening: Getting Blown- The Wind And Its Meaning
The indigenous people of North America, Native Americans considered the wind to be a living force in and of itself . The wind is a god – a power that is capable of communicating a larger-than-life language to those who would hear it. Those who were certifiably authorized to interpret these cosmic messages were shamans, medicine men, and the wise and spiritual leaders among tribes. Wine represents:
- Unity
- Freedom
- Eternity
- Balance
The Inuit Indians had an Air Spirit among the ranks of their Sila (a term that means Wisdom and Weather). Their Air Spirit controls the seas, skies and wind. Although considered a kind and beneficial spirit, it strikes wrath against liars, beggars and thieves in the form of illnesses. It is also blamed for bad weather and poor hunting.
