BTS of Chief of War 🌋 is a Perfect Example of Divine Purpose & Nature Alignment
/“I remember feeling and thinking that the island has memory. Because we were honoring the story and so it responded.”
Full disclaimer: I have not watched the Apple TV Series, Chief of War…yet. I’ve watched some of the trailers, but this behind-the-scenes video about filming the last episode gave me chills!
As you watch this video, you’ll notice the drive, determination, and surrender Jason Mamoa has when directing this particular battle. It reminds me of what it feels like to be on a divine assignment.
What do I mean by “divine assignment’?
When you answer the call of your true purpose, a purpose that comes from a higher power (such as God or your Supreme Being), you act without question—you simply do it. When you answer this call, you might have this (sometimes) overwhelming feeling of going for it, no matter how ridiculous or impossible the task. You feel like you don’t know where the motivation comes from, and you might have this supercharged energy, like you MUST do the impossible. And sometimes to others, that call seems downright crazy! But just as Mamoa pitched the scenes to his producers, his team trusted him, and they followed through! (at timestamp:048)
What’s even more fascinating about this video is that I recognize the response from the land! It’s exactly why I can’t really explain what happens during healing hikes. But watching from timestamps 1:56 - 2:59 about the volcano, Mauna Loa going off right when they needed to film that scene, reminded me that when we walk on the land with prayer and intention, it’s hearing us and it’s responding. We may not be setting off volcanoes, but we definitely experience alignments and synchronicities on our silent walks because we go through an opening ritual, then ask for permission to walk, and remember HOW to communicate with nature.
Some of you who have done a healing hike had this experience of direct communication with nature. To this day, 10 years of leading healing hikes, and I’m still in awe every time someone receives messages of alignment or ah-ha moments on the trail. Our groups have even had shared alignments and synchronicities that come directly from nature, showing us that collective healing can happen! And the messages that come out of this are always profound and accurate for hikers who receive their message. And anything coming directly from nature is indisputable, in my opinion!
