The sky was dark and the air was thick with water. We needed a thunderstorm but I didn’t think that it was actually coming. The first couple of steps are always some of my favorites. When I transition from walking to running and round the corner on my driveway to head for the road.
Almost immediately, the rhythm of my feet allowed spirit communication to openly flow through me. As I relaxed into my run and my body found a rhythm with the road, so did spirit find a rhythm with words. The sweat that ran down my neck, down my arms and off my forehead was real and was from deep inside my soul. It was much like the writing that was being passed through me on this run; real and deep from within my soul and the souls who worked with me.
Spirit loves to write through me during a run, I know that I vibrate higher and the rhythm of my feet allows me to step sideways in my brain to allow spirit to flow through me more freely. The native americans have been using drumming and the rhythm that drumming creates for far longer than I care to guess. Somehow I determined when I was a young teen that running allowed me to do this exact thing and I loved it before I even really understood what I was doing.
As I ran and heard the words flowing more eloquently than I could think of writing, I wondered why spirit was insisting on writing while I was running. I immediately got a response that it was a practice in holding space. I needed to learn to hold those words and their flow inside of my body, and this was a forced way to practice. The act of holding space is important for all healers. Spirit was pushing me to practice in a different way, which I accepted and appreciated.
When spirit writes through me the outcome is entirely different than when I write alone. I believe that many artists experience this, lean on this, lean into this, and grow with this. The words are different when they are from spirit and their flow is different. The ability to allow spirit in and weave myself and spirit together is not always smooth,but it is always an impressive outcome.
