polarity balancer. nature telepath. emotion revitalizer.
Visionary Award-winner Kaitlyn Keyt is known as a tree-talking intuitive scientist, spending her time interviewing nature for the answers to life's big questions. She founded VibesUP, a resource for Vibrational Energy education. [www.VibesUP.com]
Nature is human and humans are nature, so who better than nature to remind us of who we are?
Ever since I was a little girl, a lot of trees have nudged me. I wanted to communicate with them, but I thought that was crazy. When I finally allowed myself to open up and actually listen, a big oak tree taught me a valuable lesson about polarities.
Everything in nature has male and female polarities. When those polarities come together, there is creation. This creation energy flows from every leaf of nature and within each of us.
Throughout our being, in every cell, each one of us has male and female polarities, but our society has become unbalanced. We value the left side of our brain, the masculine, which represents logic, organization, and judgment. Meanwhile, we suppress the right or feminine side of our brain that represents intuition, emotion, and creativity. We very much admire a big profound thought, but when someone has a big profound emotion, we act embarrassed.
So, how do we plug the feminine side of our brain back in and generate all that creation energy within ourselves? How do we become the amazing human beings we really are? First, we have to realize that emotions are a powerful part of being human. We must allow ourselves to have emotions and honor others when they have emotions.
Then we have to listen to our intuition. How many times have we looked back at a situation and thought, I should have listened to my gut? The good news is that the more we listen, the louder our intuition gets. It becomes our inner GPS system, guiding us in the correct direction every time.
We also need to reharmonize with our environment by being in as much nature as we can. Nature is already balanced, and is stepping forward to assist us. When we’re with nature, we become revitalized. We start to feel the rebalancing of our polarities and the reharmonizing of our being.
I once asked nature, “Why are you so willing to help us humans when we’ve been so cruel to you?” I said, “Nature, you are unconditional love.”
What I heard back was, “No, we are not unconditional or conditional love. We are love.” It’s just their state of being. It’s who they are. They remind us that it’s also who we are. We are unlimited, all-powerful beings of love.
