The Beautiful Mandala

A remarkable Goddess that I am honoured to know, showed off her very first Mandala. I became so inspired by her sweet childlike enthusiasm and excitement I had to take a perfect opportunity to work with the children visiting and hanging around the house. Nothing more exciting then a messy project on a rainy cool day.


So out comes the paints and markers and glitter oh my! We sketched out our designs and I danced with my little Tibetan singing bowl around each of them. I LOVE how perfectly peaceful children are with this sort of thing.. instinctively closing their eyes for a moment and allowing the vibration to soften their auras and ease their concerns over what was right about the project and what was wrong! There are NO MISTAKES is the only rule I was sure to remind them. You must NOT doubt the song in your heart!

So over the course of a couple of days, these are the master Mandalas co-created by 6, 7, 8 and 9 year old children, with and in their open hearts. There were Hearts, Stars of Davids, Spiders, Starbursts and Psychic Eyes. Suns and Pyramids and Twinkling Planets. I think they are all truly beautiful and they are all very proud of their work. One mentioned it was exactly what was seen when they closed their eyes.. another said it turned out more beautiful then they even thought it could! One didn't even really want to start it to begin with but ended up asking to be included after all and they themselves enjoying it immensely! And, one of the children said she wasn't really sure what she was doing but is really pleased with how it turned out! One of the little girls, who comes to play almost daily, smiled at me knowingly and said.. "I 'knew' this was a magical house. Even before I knew who lived in it.. I knew I was going to come and meet them." (You can guess how this just melted my heart to a puddle on the floor). Children are so intuitive and open. They are so filled with excitement and Joy. The know secrets about life that we adults tend to forget. And to take a moment and put everything aside and just sit and listen and play with them.. we learn so much and we remember so much.
I can't wait for what's next! :D
Spread the Love folks.

Smudge Bundles

Good Beautiful Day all. :)

Do you ever find that you have days where in all of your being and with all of your might.. you have every intension on getting down and dirty, knee deep and wonderfully grungy going through cupboards and closets and purging to your hearts content..... when all of a sudden inspiration hits the moment you find an old lost something or another and suddenly somehow you are immersed in several hours of creative bliss?

This somehow happens to me on a regular basis. Often, the same thing happens to my children when it happens to me and I tend to think the Universe (or maybe God or other beautiful names to you) is smiling down on us as we get our priorities straight.

This is what happened in my bedroom the other day. Old sell phones found their way into our childrens hands and they snaped and recorded inside and out until their hearts content and I found some lovely Sage that I had gathered and dried over the last several years.

I don't have pictures that my children took tho I can assure you they were all lovely!


But, here are a couple of bundles that I managed to create.
Each came together with a specific purpose and gift. The first that I co-created was with a beautiful Tabby Quartz Crystal from Mt. Ida Arkansas (some of my all time very favorite crystals come from this location.. they feel so incredibly deeply connected to the Angelic Realm I am always feeling the presence of Angels around me when I work with these incredible Spirits) The Sage, Lavender and the Cedar were all gathered with much respect and love by myself. The thread used is Red for our deep connection to the Earth and our acceptance of her Love and Healing. Black for Protection honouring our sacred spaces and White for the connection to our Ancestors, Angels and surrounding everything with the Blessed White Light.
The second bundle came together with a volunteer Zimbabwean Kyanite. Amoung other things, from what I understand, Zimbabwean Kyanite offers us the chance to dance with the mysteries of the Prayer Feather. These crystals offer us the opportunity to send our prayers to the heavens.. on the wings of Angels. A very beautiful stone if any of you ever have the chance to work with these Spirits I highly recommend it! This bundle also came together with a beautiful White Feather that blessed my path at some point and Lavender, Sage and Cedar. Wound together with Light Lavender thread, reminding us of our constant Loving connection to Spirit, Green for the beautiful Healing energy of the Heart and White.
I really enjoyed putting these together and look forward to doing more. Many ideas dancing around in my heart now! :D
So, that's about it. :)
Spread the Love folks.

Reiki in the Garden






Last Saturday at a beautiful home and metaphysical store called Ancestral Crystals I was honoured to be a part of several other women offering their talents and gifts to helping others. I was so excited to be a part of this amazing team of ladies and can not express my thanks enough to Tina for opening the door to be a part of it.

It was a truly magical experience and reaffirmed to me that this is my true calling. The set up that Tina has in her home mirrors very closely the visions that I have been having myself. It's very exciting to see your vision realized in some ways .. to know that it is possible!

The energy was clear and powerful, full of inspiration and messages. We worked steady for about 5 or 6 hours and I felt like I still had a couple of hours in me at least. The time felt more like 1 or 2 hours in complete honestly it travelled so quickly. The paradox is that while it went by so very quickly.. with each Reiki session.. it also felt like time stopped for a moment. I think this is called Timelessness.





Of course I couldn't leave without adopting at least one beautiful Stone Elder! This lovely Howlite Goddess called my name and stuck with me. :)


It was labeled something other then Howlite but I'm sure without a doubt that it is. In the book 'The Crystal Bible' which I don't own and don't feel any immediate desire to own I must say there is a scientific error. Under Howlite there is a picture of a pretty green stone. I'm not sure what this Green Stone is but with all certainty and being sure to double checks my facts with people that do know for all certainty.. that is not Howlite in the photo. This disappoints me.. in some ways I feel concerned that this extremely popular book was put together quickly.. without many of the facts being accurate. I respect, however if this book resonates with you! :)


I had a mini Aura-Soma reading done while there as well. I can tell you it stirred up alot of emotion for me about letting go, releasing and standing in my Light. She tapped into some very deep places and I believe she tapped into some Ancestral pain as well. As hard as we try not to.. we all pass down to our own children which has not been healed within ourselves. I have been sitting with this little reading for a while.. at first trying to dismiss it as wrong but knowing deep inside she offered me a gift in which is it my choice to accept and move forward or to reject and say put right where I am. It wasn't anything new that she told me.. I just didn't realize how important it is for me to act on it with a little more fire then I am/was. She also offered the possibility to me for taking the Aurajin class that is offered and that too is something I can see for my future. While she may never see this post.. I thank you Susan from the bottom of my heart. I accept your gift. :)


Aura Soma with my understanding is that we choose from 105 coloured bottles, using our left hands (intuitive brain) and these bottles help us to understand conscious, unconscious, subconscious message from our Higher Selves. Here is a link that may help you understand more if it's something you feel pulled towards. http://www.aura-soma.net/index.asp?Q=peace_to_all_beings_may_they_be_well_and_happy_and_free_from_fear_peace_to_all_beings_may_they_be_well_and_happy_and_free_from_fear&BT=1&PT=1&BG=1&PID=2&SID=1&ST=&LID=1




That's all from me for now. :)

Spread the Love!

Peace,

Pebbles




Just Love




The cool water brushing by my feet, the dancing swell washing away my doubts.




In the river, this tiny pebble spoke.




He said to walk softly and feel deeply.




He said to smile often and laugh with abandon.




He said to Just Love all existence, for just the way it is right now in this very moment, this is perfect.




In listening to this ancient wisdom, great Joy fills my Heart.




And, I walk through life filled with Peace and Contentment, ever grateful.




Just Love.
