Hello you who is listening. My name is Bernd and I'm part of a Collaborative Economy group who is offering you this short audio journeys of Being land.

More and more people are reconnecting to land and ask themselves "Where do I end? And where do you begin?". Some people have found clear answers and embody them in their unique way. One of these ways you'll hear in the following. May you be inspired to find your own answers and live them.

...

My name is Elaine.

I come here from a place of speaking with the land as I find myself emerging with it.

I often come to a place here near my home where I've laid out a simple walking path where I loop to a cross.

There's a four quadrants. It's like an infinity symbol in one direction which faces North and South. And one other that faces East and West.

Two infinity loops or lemniscates as I like to call them. The dance of the honey bee.

That cross in the center I also find when I'm in a place when I'm might not feel my source connection as deeply or also do that same movement with my hips. Just circling that loop. Imagining, not imagining, actually feeling my torso move or diareate(deaerate?) in a way that connects with the rhythm of the earth.

I can be outside in deeply in connection with wild land around me as I am right now. Like feeling myself move out of the constructs or parameters of the flesh that my body is held and when I start to sort of slip into a space where I can feel part of myself on the other side of that bird call.

Or sometimes I can even experience a sensation within my multidimensional field where I'm like sinking deeper below the surface. And like I can feel the different creatures that crawl around in the soil.

And sometimes when I'm called to that place I even feel this like natural urge to sort of burrow deeper. But it's not a waded feeling. It's much as it's like the capacity to feel connected with the land. So that a greater aspect of my spacious awareness can expand.

And then I feel, I remember that I am the land. That in any moment I can be a conduit for that reconnecting to that memory, a capacity.

Eyes closed. Sways in the body. A feeling of rhythm through my movements as I connect with a current. But it's the flow of nature itself.

Ahhh, it feels like sinking into a warm bath or even being buried in the sand. Yet it also feels like the experience of watching the whisps of smoke flowed off and slowly dissipate into nothing.

There's a softness that comes across my whole body. Illuminating the space in my heart where I feel the capacity to expand that light forward across like vast territory. And yet be able to come straight to this specific point right in my heart center that claims my unique experience in this moment.

Sometimes being land is being able to tune in to the sunlight around me. The way the birds or the sky is in movement. Almost a response to my presence. And I'm always overjoyed when I'm called to sing.

I've got peace like a river. I've got peace like a river.
I've got peace like a river in my soul.
I've got peace like a river. I've got peace like a river.
I've got peace like a river in my soul.

I've got love like the ocean. I've got love like the ocean.
I've got love like the ocean in my soul.
I've got love like the ocean. I've got love like the ocean.
I've got love like the ocean in my soul.

I've got joy like a fountain. I've got joy like a fountain.
I've got joy like a fountain in my soul.
I've got joy like a fountain. I've got joy like a fountain.
I've got joy like a fountain in my soul.

I've got peace. Yes, I've got peace.
Yes, I've got peace and I wish it for you.
I've got peace. Yes, I've got peace.
Yes, I've got peace and I wish it for you.
And I wish it for you. And I wish it for you.

She always loves it when I sing to her. Thank you.
