Alaskan
Environmental Essences
Tidal Forces
Healing Qualities
- The quality of Alaska is one of drama and extremes, and Cook Inlet
and Kachemak Bay are particularly dramatic because of the extreme tidal
fluctuations that occur here.
The tide is the force of the sea, the rhythm of seasons and life. It
is the giver and taker; it washes away the old and brings in the new.
It persists in all seasons and in weather wild and calm.
This is an essence of rhythm and balance, of loss and gain, of adapting
oneself to the swiftly changing currents of life. It helps one release
the old and receive the new with constant and unyielding fluidity. It
soothes and balances overly emotional, fiery states of being and helps
wash away mental resistance to change, and to accepting what is in the
present moment.
The Tidal Forces environmental essence is a balancer for extremes -
for times of profound loss, times of darkness, times of being pressed
against the sea cliffs by the tides of life. It helps us remember that
the old is not being swept away against our will, but rather it is being
removed because in our wisdom we have volunteered it.
