Orbs checking out the Peppers

Where am I going to steal the time to clean up and plant? On the other hand, remembering the fresh tomatoes, lettuce, zucchini & herbs from our first vegetable garden I know I will do it. Besides, I think I will have the help of an Orb or ten to ensure success.

I will be giving an introduction to building a Raised Garden Bed at A Magical Space, Sunday, April 26^th, 2:00pm-4:00pm. More details to follow so please check the website from time to time, under April Events.

Raised Bed with plants in a Grid

Spring is in the air.

See you April 26th,

In addition to the stones that are included in the Creating a Crystal Love Grid, workshop, you may want to check out some beautiful pieces of Hiddenite available for sale at A Magical Space.

Hiddenite, Master Heart Stone

Hiddenite has many qualities that will help to heal & attract love into your life.   The following information is taken from the book, The Book of Stones, by Robert Simmons & Naisha Ahsian.   Read on, this is another special healing crystal….

Hiddenite is a Master stone of the heart.  It teaches us to receive the Love of the Divine & return that Love in kind, through the frequency of gratitude.
It is a beneficial stone for those who have difficulty receiving  due to a sense of unworthiness.
 
Beyond its healing energies, it is a stone of renewal.  It assists one in finding hope in difficult circumstances.  

Spiritual:  Hiddenite’s energy teaches one of the true energy of gratitude & abundance.  It assists one in receiving the energy, love & gifts of the Divine & encourages one to respond with the heartfelt frequency of gratitude.

Emotional:  Hiddenite stimulates the heart & emotional body & encourages the experience of joy & bliss.  It helps one release attachments to future desires or past regrets & focus on the gifts one is receiving in each moment.  It can be used to counter anxiety, stress & fear around finances, wealth or one’s sense of self-worth.

Physical:  Hiddenite can act as a gentle support for the physical heart. It can help one feel balanced as one moves through hormonal cycles & can assist in overcoming ‘the blues.”

A friend sent me this George Carlin clip talking about how we deal with our “Stuff”.
Very funny, and very true.

Well I thought that would be a great kick-off to eliminating some of my own stuff.

Some books suggest that even 20 minutes a day of clearing & pitching will soon add up to a lot more of nothing.
I can handle that.

When it comes to packing up to move, it is incredible how many boxes are needed to pack up a kitchen.

The "to go" pile grows

I decided to tackle only 2 drawers & a large utensil jar on the counter.  The ‘to go’ pile was quickly heaped with duplicate utensils from a long gone cottage, cracked wooden spoons and old can openers.   The only thing I hesitated over was, an old egg separater and an iron meat tenderizer which are two antique keepsakes from my grandmother.   (I think have been carrying them around longer than she owned them.)

Boy, even mundane things hold memories.

I know there is still lots of clutter on kitchen counters, drawers & cupboards but there is a large bag of ’stuff’ I won’t be taking with me.It is destined for Rummage to become someone else’s stuff.  I am feeling energized and looking forward to trying it again tomorrow.
If anyone is listening out there in blogland, write and share your story.
I need some encouragement to keep going.

Until next time.

You have come to this moment in time, having surmounted so many of the hurdles that were thrown in you path. Now, what remains to be cleared are remnants of learned responses, which would have you tumble, out of habit, over brambles that are clearly in view.

The better we get at recognizing & eliminating the junk (old patterns of behaviour that no longer serve us) the easier it is to step around life’s brambles before they trip us up.  Eventually, the brambles disappear and we skip along our path.

Getting rid of our junk takes courage & determination.

I am always reading books, listening to lectures, & working with healers looking for help with my journey. One thing I want to offer at A Magical Space, are tools to help the in the process of decluttering our minds.

Try a Sub Conscious Clearing with Karen Levesque; check out the upcoming Release & Renew Burning Technique with Sharry-Lynn Cannon; or part 1 of 3 powerful workshops with Shelley Bourne, beginning with ‘Heal Yourself, Heal the Planet’. Tibetan Breathing, offered in February with Kathleen Ogino & Fred Prack is a method of consciously connecting body, mind & spirit through different breathing techniques.  This was a great success and will get them back.

Lighten up, eh!

The new moon is the birthing cycle of the moon’s various phases. The new moon phase is an optimal time for planning and seeding your intentions.

Couldn’t make the first New Moon Meditation & Messaging evening in January? It was quite a night!  As one participant said, “The New Moon meditation evening with Sharry-Lynn was magical. Thank you!”  

This is what you missed. 

• A wonderful free gift of a rose quartz crystal with a special Lemurian Symbol of Manifestation painted on it.
• And the biggest surprise of all –for the first time in public– was the spontaneous arrival of Adama & the Lemurian Council of Light channeled through Sharry-Lynn. (SHE WAS SURPRISED TOO!) 

• Sharry-Lynn said that many Angels, Teachers, & Ascended Masters were present that evening as well as Adama, the Lemurian High Priest of Telos.

Sharry-Lynn is offering another free gift for the Wednesday, February 25^th New Moon session, and who knows what messages The Council, & Others will give.

Check the events page for details.

How often do we take the time to stop and listen to the body we inhabit?

How often do we acknowledge the muscles that keep us upright and mobile?

Yoga is another kind of body work that leads us to back to ourselves through CONSCIOUS MOVEMENT & BREATH.

I had an AhHa moment as we were asked to “breathe the mind into the ‘belly’ where our (will) power is.”  For all the years (off & on) I have been doing yoga it was the first time I made the connection between belly breathing & the solar plexus chakra.  We not only breathe in oxygen with each breath, but also prana, the life sustaining force which pervades all living organisms and the universe.

Here we have another tool to connect to spirit, right under our nose and we are too busy to use it.  Thank heaven breathing is an involuntary action, or we would be in big trouble.

Tibetan Breathing is a healing, energy directed, breath meditation that has been taught in different traditions around the world.  It is a conscious collaboration with the body through a powerful but simple series of breathing techniques which can relieve stress, trauma, increase vitality & bring balance to body mind and spirit.

Tibetan Breathing is also an empowerment tool.  As long as you are conscious there is always something you can do to help yourself.

It is a powerful companion on the road to full awakening.

Just breathe……

Tibetan Breathing is being offered at A Magical Space, Saturday, February 7/09. For info and registration, click here.

Our bodies are a good place to start on our Spiritual Path. We can ‘see’ & ‘touch’ our physical bodies, but our Spirit which is the larger part of us is sitting quietly in the background waiting for us to ‘listen’.

We are stuck in the traffic jam running in our brains. Not only do we carry our own stuff-old repetitive emotional patterns from this lifetime & past lives, but we take on other peoples ‘stuff’. How can we hear what our Soul has to say?

One of the best things you can do for yourSELF– is to schedule regular healing treatments. This is your time to pay attention to who you are and what is important.

Another significant connection you will make during a body treatment is to the many gifted and dedicated healers who’s calling in life is to help us on our path.
They have chosen over time to listen to try to integrate their own spirit, and so can help others to make their own connection.

Body healers always have a big tool box of modalities that they intuitively use to help you connect the dots. When you are called to one healer, follow your intuition. This is your guidance system directing you to what you need at this time.

Body work, energy work, or spiritual healing, that is received during a treatment is delicious way to reconnect with yourself. As Abraham-Hicks would say, ‘Always do what feels good.” Think about booking an appointment at one of our Spa Days. One more way to have fun, is to get together with friends to share a healing Spa Day.

(The Big Plan at this time in history is to create Heaven on Earth. This is going to happen as we EMBODY SPIRIT, your soul walking )
