Shining from every cell!
Just back from a 2 hour walk through the "neighborhood". It was really my first big foray exploring Mill Valley. I had no idea what awaited me.
I can honestly say that the entire Redwood-covered basin here of Mount Tam is a massive energetic gateway and anchor! I left the house feeling very stressed out, as if there weren't enough hours in the day to do all I had to do. As I wandered the streets, climbing higher and higher through meandering avenues and creek flowing meadows and Redwood groves, my whole physiology responded in the extreme. In the past, whenever I have had racing thoughts I have just put my head against a Redwood tree and it has allowed a release and settling into just being. But this was really a saturating experience where I didn't even need to do this.... just wandering, breathing, feeling the sunlight and admiring the beauty which surrounded me was enough to slow my thoughts to stillness and transform them to awe.
The textures of the bark of every tree I passed was unique, encoded with divineness. The green canopies swaying the breeze above filtered the light in the most life-giving of ways. The air tasted wonderful! There was feeling of enchantment in the air, as if the grottos I passed were magical and filled with fairies.
And as I wandered, I soaked in the splendor of the houses. To call them "houses" feels like the same injustice of calling a Redwood just a "tree". These architectural gems were sanctuaries! Almost all were made of warm toned woods, with intriguing large windows, swoops and levels, embedded within the hillsides. Almost every one was kept in the most pristine of shapes, some with elaborate gardens with blossoms blowing in the wind, two with large trampolines, one with 2 little girls playing with a cat, another with 4 girls playing double dutch jumprope. Most were seemingly unihabited and quiet, with expensive cars parked often separate areas created as garages. Many had massive geometrically complex decks with wonderful lounge chairs and private pathways riddled the area around each home. Sunshine poured through skylights, and the sheer SIZE of them was awe inspiring - many looked to be 3000-5000 square feet! Most were embedded in wonderous ways with intertwining Redwoods which gave them an earthy feel.
I alternated between streets, hiking paths and walkways, just soaking it all in. I couldn't help but just absorb the visual feast in gulps! Meanwhile, my body was soaking in the feeling in gulps - ease, beauty, splendor, expansiveness, groundedness, abundance, nourishment. The wood, rocks and flowing waterfall I came upon all bathed my senses in ease.
I arrived back home with a feeling of contentment and amazement. I truly live in the center of a vortex of wonder! I sat down on the couch and was immediately overtaken by the most profound sleepiness I have felt in ages, and went to sleep curled in a soft blanket, feeling enfolded by the land and healed. As I drifted off I remember thinking that my DNA needed some time to reorganize itself to uplevel it's radiance.
I am SO excited that I live where I live and I am so grateful. I love the earth and the Redwoods and the opulent splendor which surrounds me here. I love the whimsical feel of the neighborhoods and the density of the rocks, branches and dirt. I can't wait to meet many inspiring visionary people who live in these neighborhoods and houses and look forward to magnetically attracting them into my life. Whatever they are doing, feeling and thinking, it is manifesting some pretty spectacular bounty into their lives! I'll have some, too!
WOW! Wouldn't it be nice if I felt this way after every walk in my new neighborhood? Wouldn't it be amazing if I could instantly shift my consciousness anytime I needed, even just by thinking about the walks? Wouldn't it be great if I could attract enough wealth into my life that I could easily buy a magnificent sunny sanctuary in Cascade Canyon with a great view and everything I admire? Wouldn't it be great if I could rendezvous with more likeminded people in the area? Wouldn't it be great if I took this inspiration from today's walk to encourage me to walk every single day for at least an hour to soak in the radiance?
Yes to life!
Sweet, sweet Christabel-
Thanks for taking us on this journey with you. I feel the resonance with the big trees as well, and so I can completely relate!
xxooxx,
me
