Rooted in the Wind Moving through life without losing your connection to the source “Connection allows you to move freely through life without ever losing your roots.”

Breathwriting – 3•12•26

From the Ashram in India

Suppose you are a leaf in the wind, blowing and changing course with the slightest movement of air, breaking with the footfall of another, with no life of your own left within.

Or strong roots, rooted in soil that is rich, dense, and wet with connection to all that is available to you. Still, when the wind blows, you feel and respond in kind or as a result of those winds.

When your connection is strong to the source, the tree—through branches and tendons of life source that connect through the entire root system—you are able to feel, respond, and be as though you are everywhere. You have experienced what each tree, moss, flower, and different terrain feels like.

It isn’t necessary to physically go. In fact, when you become disconnected completely, you will wither like the leaf—losing purpose, direction, and source.

Starting connected through your breath, your time alone in deep contemplation and meditation allows you to leave the source and then return, bent to any and all throughout life, gaining just what you need so that you don’t wither on the vine, wondering “what if,” or die from disconnection.

Unlike the leaf, you are able to do that.

Stay grounded in movement next, but most importantly with yourself. It doesn’t have to be ritualistic, but often a walk—intentional and quiet time with no agenda—appreciating your life’s experience is key to movement while staying connected.
