The Beauty of Baring Our Bones

VIBRANT HEALTH TIP OF THE WEEK- The Beauty of Baring our Bones .

    As Autumn here in central MA. winds its way down, I noticed yesterday how the landscape was revealing a different kind of beauty. The beauty of the bare bones or branches of the trees. I sat in my yard a bit and just watched the trees with their few remaining leaves flickering in the breeze, about to release. I noticed the symmetry, the artistry , frankly the sculpted essence revealing itself for all to see. Without its adornment of color and leaves, the trees grey , brown , white or reddish branches contrasted against the cloud filled sky as simple yet exquisite imprints against the sky. 

  The unified visual of all their growth reaching for the sun was not lost on me. What might it feel like to strip away what is not essential. What might it feel like to stand in our bare bones and inhabit the essence of our beauty , inhabit the blessing of our human journey by deeply connecting to what is essential. Inhabiting our hearts, our consciousness, our compassion, our joy, our patience, our gratitude , our humility our wonder!
   Each expression like a single branch reaching out into the world but supported by our core that is deeply rooted to the earth. We have a lot to learn from trees. How to be present, how to shine, how to release , how to center and maybe most profoundly, how to just BE. 

What unessential energies or qualities can you release? Worry? Fear? Judgement? Anger? Negativity? Sadness? Take some time and take a walk and really observe what Nature is doing right now. She is settling and preparing for slumber. She is sending deep nourishment to her roots to sustain through the winter chill. She is slowing down! All good guidance for us as well. Slow down, nourish your deep roots and practice just BEing present to what is. Thats the beauty revealed in baring our bones.
