Humans are Like Ponds…
By Tracy L. Bradley, RN, CHHC

Humans are like ponds. We are the whole of the pond… the bottom (our subconscious and unconscious mind), the water (our conscious mind, feelings & emotions), the trees (our parts- past & present selves & childhood beliefs that we have picked up and held onto along the way in our life), moss & old leaves (blocks, energies related to our parts- leaves from the trees, that can limit us because they block our vision, perspective if they accumulate and are left unattended), animals that pass by (life experiences and energies).

The sky (our moods & feelings- clear, dark, cloudy, dreary, sunny, rainy, stormy).

The environment always “appears” to be changing… but the basics are always the same, yet they change in the sense of time, season and growth. They grow, but yet they are the same basic pieces... when you look at your life from the perspective of comparing yourself to a pond you can see that there are patterns and that the patterns can be used as tools for self growth & change.
