Part 2 - The healing powers of Mother Earth's unconditional love

I had the most profound and magical experience at a retreat I attended in June, The Nordic Medicine Sisters held by Jelena Mitra Thiesen. We received one of Pachamama's powerful medicines by being buried in soil by a sister. I had done this once before so I knew what I was getting myself into but this time it was in a different setting surrounded by sisters and having the most incredible spaceholders Jelena & Charlotte who guided us through the experience with shamanic instruments, mantras and song. 

The ceremony started with being blessed with a warm infusion made of bitter plants and being infused with sacred tobacco. We headed off to the “sacred graves” and before I entered I asked for permission and was warmly welcomed and then I laid down. I set an intention to let go of resistance as that was what my heart was whispering. I laid there in the ground, breathing and surrendering to Mother Earth. Feeling so many sensations moving through my body. And at some point Mother Earth took me down with her through all the layers of the earth down to her core. I had the most beautiful visions. I experienced my birth once again but this time it was not on my mothers belly I was lying, it was Mother Earth. I laid there listening to her heartbeat, staring into her eyes and she in mine and feeling this incredible love emanating from her, experiencing unconditional love. Something that I had been longing for my whole life. To be loved just as I am. It was breathtaking and such a profound experience, healing tears were running down my cheeks and I just felt like staying there forever. She told me that she loved me and will always be there for me and that we have a very strong connection.

I realized that my birth was the first time I felt resistance (in this lifetime) and that it had followed me ever since. I was not ready to be birthed into this world and my mother was induced and had a challenging birth. Shortly after being delivered I was taken from my mother and father because of an injury I had received from the birth. Imagine the pain I felt from the broken collar bone nonetheless from the separation and not having my mother there to comfort me. I have felt that pain when I have done healing work and it was heartbreaking but I have healed that too. So for me to have this experience was so healing. 

Mother Earth then took me down again to connect with her crystalline heart and I was guided to put my hands against the crystal and release the intention, the resistance and she transmuted this energy and I received love and light in return. I promised her then that I would be of service to her if that was for the highest and greatest good of all. And that is the reason I created this event - Celebrating Mother Earth (Celebrating Mother Earth | Facebook ). I am honoring my promise and I am honoring our love in reminding you of the importance to acknowledge her and to give her the love that she deserves. I know in my heart that this will be a very powerful and healing experience for her as much as it will be for you. So this is my gift to you Mother Earth! I love you unconditionally, always and forever. 

To finish the story for those of you who are curious. I laid there for as long as I needed and felt NOW, now I am ready to be (re)birthed into this world. It was so empowering to be the one to decide when that was going to happen. I got up having no idea how long I had laid there and saw that I was the last sister to exit the sacred grave and that was exactly the medicine I needed.
