Rain Meditation

Fresh air, soft soil

Clean tracks, quenched thirst

Plants thrive, roots come alive

Clouds dissipate, life rejuvenate.

 

After a rainstorm get outdoors and breathe in the fresh air. Feel the renewed energy from the earth. Imagine being a rain cloud, rising high above, releasing cleansing tears that fall to the ground and lands in parched meadows, empty streams and thirsty forests. Feel the flow of the water as it touches down and fills in the dry cracks of the earth. Feel the fulfillment then take in a deep breath of the fresh clean air. Awe.
