Elemental Consciousness and the Healing Force of Nature

Oregon hike!

When I was a little girl I shared a bedroom with my older sister. Arranged side by side, each bed had a shelved headboard that served as a childhood “altar,” displaying the things in life that separated us from one another.

My favorite item was a piece of cobalt blue glass that was flat, luminescent and about the size of a brick. I don’t know where it came from but it became an object of my imagination. I searched for items; an acorn resembling a fairy hat, a feather, a bird’s nest, a leaf shaped like an elf shoe, to place upon the glass. I wished for a Tom Thumb or a fairy like Thumbelina to accompany the treasures on my headboard. At age eight I discovered Troll Dolls. Some of you might remember these. I purchased colored squares of felt that I sized into little vests, hats, and dresses to outfit my trolls. The Troll Dolls delighted me. They nurtured a part of my soul that longs to commune with nature spirits, gnomes, flower fairies and the healing properties of nature.

As my life unfolded I would experience a deep and kindred relationship with the invisible forces of Nature, the Elemental Kingdom, and the luminescent light of flowers and plants. There will always be speculation regarding the unseen energies in the Universe as they are fiercely questioned by skepticism. In our current paradigm we have lost the ability to merge intellect with feeling and perception. The realities that lie behind our sense world, however, behind the world which humanity experiences as a physical existence, are palpable.

I am sitting in a lush valley in Hawaii and I am twenty-two years old. Uncannily open to the beauty of nature, I feel expansive and light filled. I knew this feeling as a child, although it frightened me, from my frequent ‘out of body’ travels at night.  Alone in the vastness of nature, I am not afraid. Receptive to the radiating flow spiraling color around my body, I feel peace, calm, and a wish to understand.  Accelerated light speeds up, green fern leaves vibrate so quickly I can put my hands through them.  I see the invisible…made visible.  When the light turns back into the form of leaves and flowers, I hear these words: “You have seen the light weavers of nature. This energy shape- shifts life. This is the blue print of the universe…light filled accelerated color, energy patterns and illumined spaciousness.”

This magnetic energy is referred to as Devic Consciousness, a quickened magnetic field of higher vibrational energy and light. Subtle matter, especially astral matter, is magnetic and expansive. Movement at this level is relatively fluid, compared to the dense physical plane. The slower moving, dense physical matter is referred to as the Atomic Plane. Our universal template is composed of various regions spanning many levels of vibrational influences from angels, plant devas, gnomes, right up to the Holy Trinity, a three fold dimension of The Feminine Soul of Nature, or Natura.

The territory of Nature embraces the embodiment of Divinity and serves as a mirror to Humanity. Nature itself is a reflection of balance which harmonizes the polarities of male/female, yin/yang, dark/light, heaven/earth, and spirit/matter. Our attempt to steward this knowledge and develop relationship with this cosmic field of elemental complexity requires the skill to seize ownership of our own Earth life. I would call this Ascension.  This field of knowledge can be defined as Devic Consciousness, a quickened magnetic field of higher vibrational energy and light.

Of initiation into Elemental Consciousness and Soul Awakening…a royal gift offered to those who wish to see further into the realm of multi-dimensional Truth.

It is 1990 and I just arrived at the coast in Oregon where I will continue to write the text for the Inner Child Cards.  My cabin rests on a cliff over looking the Pacific Ocean. I recall the force of elemental intrusion that had shocked me out of my sleep the last time I stayed here. I lay my bags and books on a table and arrange my writing desk just the way I want it. I put away the groceries that I brought for my two week writing retreat. I can’t say why, but I lie down on the bed in this one room cabin and fall asleep. In my sleep I am once again ruffled as if someone is on the bed with me… I resist, and then I feel surrender…soon I am embraced in a sphere of blue, a blue I can not describe, and will never see again. The blue sphere becomes smaller and smaller until it is a jeweled dot of energy and I am in it. I am zinging about the room with quick and blissful movement. I also know that I am lying on my bed. The duality of this reality does not disturb me. When I return to my body it is a soft landing and these words are heard,” You have just experienced the joy of the universe. It is a permanent force of light that you may tap into whenever you wish. It will never betray you.” My life felt different from that day on…Awakened, I take a long walk on the beach and I swear I saw a mermaid sitting on a rock that day.

Finding our way through life changing events can prove enchanting, mysterious, and offers an opportunity to explore the responsibility of what it means to embody a mystical experience. We must align our life so as not to get carried away by the awe of it… and actualize the success of a physical life. True knowledge can only live within the individual when, alongside the aspirations for higher consciousness, a full measure of willingness to fulfill a destiny is sought. A journey into elemental consciousness can be life changing. When we become kindred with the light of this vibrational energy, something shifts deeply within the cellular body. It is a visceral experience. And we are changed forever.
