Loving connection
is a boundless space that defies any distance. Life’s journeys may sometimes take us away
from our families and friends, but there are many ways to stay connected.
Aside from making use of the technology available, we can create simple ceremonies
using nature to connect our hearts across the miles. The first step in creating your ceremony is
to look to nature for similarities in the different surroundings. The second
step is agreeing upon something that is meaningful to all involved. If your
mother loves birds, then perhaps each time you hear a bird chirp, you can
think of her and mentally send love. You may choose the sight of a butterfly,
the feel of a breeze or raindrops, or the scent of flowers to remind you of a
special someone. The pink glow of sunset might be your favorite time to send
a thought, or perhaps the warming oranges of sunrise. The monthly full moon
may be your time to connect with your loved ones, or the first star you see
each night, knowing that they, too, are gazing into the night sky and sending
love. You could choose a day that you would usually celebrate together, such
as a holiday or a solstice. If you once shared Sunday brunches in the garden,
you can each seek out a garden on Sundays. Or you can choose a specific time
and account for the time difference in order to connect by heart and mind at
exactly the same moment. With practice, we may learn to recognize
the feeling that comes when a loved one sends energy our way and the feeling
of soul-to-soul communication. In this case, distance may indeed make our
connections stronger. There is so much that can make us think of our close
friends and loved ones, but when we decide upon a reminder together, we
create a simple ceremony of connection that defies any distance. |
