Lately I’ve heard in conversations the words dry, dry, so dry. And that’s certainly the case here in the summer months in Northern California, the landscape is dry, dry, so dry, and that’s why we have to be careful with open flames and flammables in the outdoors.
However there’s another aspect, we can perceive dryness also in our bodies. This is how the body is talking to us, when we have the sense of experiencing dryness in the body, it is the message of taking care of that, and the same goes also when we’re holding too much liquid, the body will tell us clearly what to do. So it’s always a matter of coming back to balance, as so many natural healing approaches teach us.
Isn’t that what I talk about so often? It’s about balance, it’s the awareness of the pendulum action, going towards too dry to coming back to center, going towards too much moisture to coming back to center.
And that is an understanding, an equation, that can be applied to everything in our lives: to how we relate to the landscape around us, and also to how we relate to the landscape within us, with all its layers, physiological, emotional and mental.
Where in your life do you recognize the ”too much”, where in your life do you recognize ”too little”?
Is it time to take a moment to tune in, if there is any of these to be recognized?
Or are we too quick to counteract, rather than taking in the message of what is appropriate and needed, for future reference?
