Imagine floating alongside a gigantic but gentle hearted manatee, drifting through fresh spring water coming up deep from the earth.
Water that stays just warm enough for these creatures to thrive as they winter in the springs of Florida and rest from their time in the chillier Gulf of Mexico.
The manatee’s presence is so kind and aware as they feel you hovering nearby.
There is a healing energy they emanate, simply by being themselves.
They are the ultimate nurturers of their young, and each other.
Periodically they come up for air, right in front of you, taking a deep breath, only to return back to the bottom of the spring to rest and recharge and eat all their greens for the day.
You take a moment and meet their gentleness with your own, sending them your good vibrations.
And you know, for a moment, you have tapped into a frequency of unconditional love shared between you two.
I have experienced this twice swimming with my favorite sea creature and long to share their goodness with all of you.
Now imagine you go to another spring, where you get to witness whimsical mermaids performing underwater as if they lived there full-time.
You watch them dance in graceful circles, doing flips and more in the water.
As they perform their acrobatics, you realize they have opened up not only a world of childlike imagination inside of you, but they have impressed you with their incredible athleticism.
You touch into something I can only call – magic!
And in this magic of the manatee’s unconditional love & the mermaid’s feats of imagination, you yourself are inspired to find the magical connection to the water inside of you.
You find your own mermaid tail sitting by the springs and allow yourself to be seen in all your gentle and powerful beauty too.
A special photographer captures you in your dazzling mermaid glory.
You come home refreshed and reconnected to the watery divine nature within you.
It doesn’t even take much work at all.
You simply open to receive & you are supported.
Join me on Mermaid & Manatee adventure of a lifetime & fill your imagination back up with love and pure childlike wonder & joy.
