   OAK  - Medicine Bag - Flower of the Week   - Nov. 23rd 2006

Our bodies hold essential wisdom and information. We have as a culture not been taught to recognize this Wisdom. Many of us are now coming back into the realization that everything the body feels is for a reason. Many times, because we have become removed from our body’s way of communicating to us, we feel a sensation or a pain and we don't understand the meaning of it. Yet, there is always a meaning. If we decide to really pay attention and if we engage with Trust in a relationship with our body, we can truly begin to understand what it is communicating to us.

Pain is the body’s way of saying something to us that we are not 'getting'. Something we are doing or something that is happening in our environment is out of harmony with our bodies health and wisdom. Our bodies tell us that through pain. If the pain is extreme there is a reason for it that needs to be heard. We get all the warnings from our body that we need to prevent any major diseases or upsets.

Oak

Oak is one of the Chieftain Trees of the Druids. It is a Master at carrying the Earth Wisdom, the Body Wisdom. In these times when we are all moving back into a closer relationship with our bodies and the earth, Oak is the essence that helps us to understand the messages. This essence recalls within our being the Ancient Wisdom of the Body and how we can decipher it. If we work with Oak, it prevents us from getting into a state of overwhelm, a state of being so far out of touch with our bodies that we cannot understand the messages of pain. If you are experiencing a pain or symptom in your body that you don't understand, take Oak. Take is consciously, This is all about relationship. There is a Divine Deva of the Oak, as there is of every species of Tree. And there is a Deva of every specific Oak Tree. Connect in with the Devas and ask to develop a Sacred Relationship with them. Ask Oak to assist you in coming back into an open and easy and honoring relationship with your own Body Temple. When we are in touch with our body wisdom we embody the great strength and endurance of the Oak.
