Power of Nature

Posted on March 27, 2019March 27, 2019 by Kari Allison

Do you remember playing outside as a child? For me, growing up in the 70’s and 80’s meant that you could roam the neighborhood and adventure and explore, as long as you stayed within the sound of your mother’s voice calling you back inside. I road my bike to friend’s houses, where we turned yards and driveways into cites using chalk to create roads and complete with gas stations made out of super-cool shaped trees; the ones with a slit or hole, perfect for handing over our pretend money (we had no debit cards or ATM’s then, just cold-hard, pretend cash) to the imaginary attendant inside. I explored creeks near my house, pretending the rocks were poolside lounging decks for my Polly Pockets who also saved each other from doom, because they were versatile gals. I sat under blackberry and raspberry bushes, eating almost ripe berries until my stomach hurt. I pretended I was Laura Ingalls Wilder, on a wagon-train to a foreign new place, which just happened to be the small wheat field on a hill above the back-yard of my house. Then something happened. Was it puberty? Was it societal constraints? Suddenly, I was supposed to be serious and give up playing outside. Memorizing lyrics on mix-tapes, perfecting hideous shading of frosted eye shadow chaos on my lids, and figuring out what I wanted to be when I grew up became the thing to do.

What was left behind? Imagination and the outdoors. Climbing trees, hugging trees, turning trees into something else with our imagination-gone. The pure bliss and freedom of the wind in my hair as I flew on my bike down our steep neighborhood hills, peddling my legs numb, leaving my heart pounding by the time I reached the top of the next hill-gone. Listening to the creek trickle, changing the sounds as I moved each rock-gone. The joy of finding snacks in nature so that I didn’t have to go inside and because wild berries are awesomely good-gone.

Fast forward to adulthood. I have raised two daughters, and taking them outside to play and adventure was amazing. Watching them swing for the first time with their eyes lighting up in glee, teaching them to ride their bikes…all awesome. But due to location and circumstances, it was never like when I was a child. And, as a former type A personality, every minute had to be supervised for safety, maximum enrichment and kept within the nap schedule. Heaven forbid I go astray and possible FAIL mommying. Sigh. There were no books in the mainstream on re-wilding when I was raising my girls.

Depressing isn’t it?  I think we have all had enough. I have just felt like something was missing for so long. I have finally figured it out. It’s my disconnection from nature. How about you? Do you remember what it feels like to stand in a creek? To feel that cool water rushing around your toes and ankles, feel the smooth rocks beneath your feet and hear the magical, tinkling sounds of the water dancing across rock formations.  Do you remember taking a hike through the moutains to hear the birds calling and swooping past you. To climb so much and so high you feel your heart pounding in your chest, and then you are rewarded with breaktaking vistas and nature in all her glory to show off for you and leave you in awe and wonder.

Let’s get outside. Let’s have fresh air fill our lungs and the sun shine vitamin D down on us. Let’s let the water provide a cleansing meditation for us. Let’s wonder and imagine and become creative again as we explore all of the mind-blowing intricacies in nature! What’s your favorite way to experience the power of nature?

Birthday season vibes. As a Taurus, I will celeb Birthday season vibes. 

As a Taurus, I will celebrate as long as possible and serve up Vueve Cliquot with unicorn cotton candy garnish…because I can. 

So thankful for the seven sisters coven. You know who you are.
I have an oracle card over my vanity that says, “Say yes to life and life will say yes to you.” 

I received a really cool crown gift from my soul sis @rahsar_ on my birthday. Thank you! ✨🤍

This photo was moments prior to being asked by @feather_dearstead if I would wear aforementioned crown everyday for a month….I said yes. 

Ever read @shondarhimes book, “A Year of Yes”? Well, this is kind of like that. Except not so long and not so terrifying.

However, as Feather pointed out, it’s like an adventure that you weave into your everyday life. Who might I meet and what cool connections or conversations might be had, sparking from this whimsical decision? This might change my life. Or not. Who knows!? And that’s pretty much the point. 

Also, @drjoedispenza says that to create a new reality for yourself, you have to break the automated patterns of your life to introduce something new, such as getting out of the bed in the opposite side that you usually do. Wearing a crown when I normally don’t. Check. Lol. 

So if you see me out around town sparkling, you’ll kind of know why. But maybe I can tell you more about what I’m learning about myself, other people and the universe through this process. 

Hopefully this sparks a curiosity filled act in your life too! Say yes!
To be incarnated…..what a ride! Glad to be her To be incarnated…..what a ride!

Happy Mother’s Day to my mom who is no longer on Happy Mother’s Day to my mom who is no longer on this earth plane, but always with me. 

I wasn’t ready for her to be gone, but the lessons it brought have been empowering and invaluable and I feel her presence so strongly now. She visits me and my sister in Dreamtime and I talk to her and my grandmother regularly. They come to me to share insights on what is happening on a bigger level and help me know what to do and how to proceed to help myself and others. We are a great team. 

They showed me themselves once, linked arm in arm in beautiful long brightly colored silk dresses. They were both wise and youthful and giggling with joy as they walked a path towards a ton of twinkly lights. They were headed to a cosmic party. How can I be sad when they are so happy!? 

So thankful for my maternal ancestors and honored to do healing work in myself that will positively affect them. They are my greatest cheerleaders. 

Thinking of you today and sending you love if your mom, grandmother or child is no longer on this earth plane. Peace be with you. 🤍
Sisterhood is magical and necessary. We are desi Sisterhood is magical and necessary. 

We are designed for community. 

Western culture would have us believe that we are weak if we can’t do everything on our own. I believe community and collaboration is where the magic lives. 

So grateful for these magical, wild medicine women, fairy beings who uplift me and enrich my life beyond measure. 

May we all be a soft place for someone to land, a safe place to rest and rich soil to encourage growth.
Light language can be expressed in multiple ways. Light language can be expressed in multiple ways. Spoken, sung, signed with the hands and drawn. 

I do all three, but I thought that drawn/written was my least powerful way of expressing, until I wrote these codes. Every time I “read” these codes by looking at them, my mind hears them again and my whole skull tingles.

Then, I tried to put them into a text box for a graphic and it translated them into numbers. I googled the numbers and discovered….it’s the color hex for green…the heart chakra color. So, as I’ve always known, light language is the language of the heart! 

If you’d like to learn more about Light Language, join me for ReAwakening the Light Within: a light Language Activation + Workshop!
