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.
