There are
times when we might feel the need to wash away all of our troubles and call
forth freshness into our lives. Since perhaps the most cleansing substance on
this earth is water, we can think of the joy rain brings as an energetic
bath, rejuvenating our minds, bodies and souls. Just being able to spend a
few moments every time it rains to become aware of the healing powers water
brings to us can renew us in so many ways. As we do this we will find that
the more we appreciate the universe’s gift to us in the form of rain, the
more we can see that a gentle rain shower is a strong reflective tool that
has the ability to cleanse our entire being.
The next time it rains might be a good chance to experience the rain through
all of your senses, allowing you to truly understand just how truly important
each and every drop of water is. First, take a few minutes to look outside
and notice how each individual raindrop seems to come down in a continual stream.
By noticing this you can contemplate how it takes many small accomplishments
to create the whole of your existence, for nothing exists in isolation. Then
you might wish to focus your attention on the sound of the rainfall, letting
the sounds of drops penetrate into the innermost recesses of your self.
Listening in this way may bring you a greater sense of connection with nature
and the world around you, knowing that the sounds you hear are an integral
part of not just the physical sustenance you require but also nourish your
spirit as well.
Consciously using our senses to feel nature’s healing energy as it comes to
us in the form of rain is an act of internal cleansing. Just as the rain
physically washes over the earth and rinses out any impurities and imperfections,
so it also bathes our spirit in the joy that comes from knowing that we are
in fact one with the world around us.
