As the Wheel Turns

Monday blessings dear souls!

The wheel of life is turning and I’m feeling beautifully attuned to the flow of it all.

Finding the balance and peace of my centre isn’t always easy. I tend to frequently fall into pits of stuck-ness, getting caught up in cycles of negative thought patterns that I spend a lot time digging out of, trying to find my way back to the light and to my grounded self. But lately, things are moving with a new kind of ease for which my heart is so grateful.

I am feeling the presence of Spirit, of Goddess more strongly and I am finding it less of a struggle to stay connected to sacredness. Lessons of surrender and letting go of the struggle come hard, but right now I’m really witnessing the magic that happens when you give up the battle and just allow.

Simplicity and sacredness are at the forefront of my mind. Each day when I ask myself what I want to feel or invite into my life, these two words come to me immediately. So I’ve been receptive to the kindness of October that has brought me many moments laced with both of these precious gifts. A thread of stillness has woven its way into my days forcing me to be still, to rest, to breathe and to simply gather my energy for the things to come.

This ease of flow is not without touches of busy-ness. In between the pauses, I am knee deep in studies – Tarot Journey with Marissa Moondaughter, completing my Herbalism studies and I’ve just began The Captivate Program with Angela Raspass – all gifts that are enriching my mind and soul right now for I love the feeling of learning and seeing my inner world expanding.

Nonetheless, I just feel the need to be present with the magical essence that is growing within and flowing all around me to honour it and to express my gratitude for all that I have been blessed with. I know that soon there will be a quickening of energy that will whisk my back into action and backing into the busyness of doing. For now I just am happy to be moving at the pace at which the wheel of life is turning.

What space do you find yourself in right now as the wheel of life turns?

Gathering Your Inner Wilds: How to Work with the wild Earth to Create Healing Affirmations

Happy Wednesday and Full Moon Blessings to You All!

It is said that the outer world is a reflection of our inner world. I am a firm believer in the idea that the wild Earth mirrors the wild, abundant and unlimited inner essence alive within the center of your being – your wild essence. Nature’s sacred whispers therefore have so many profound lessons to teach us about life and about ourselves too.

Like many fellow sojourners on a spiritual path, I love being immersed in the healing vibration of Mother Earth. Whatever I go out into wild spaces, I collect pieces of the Earth – feathers, acorns, pine corns, lichens – whatever she has to offer me. I love bringing these pieces into my home, creating alters with them or placing them in my meditation space. Each of them carries a story and a unique vibrational energy. I am constantly seeking out ways to integrate these healing energy and spiritual lessons. One thing that allows me to do so is by intuitively working with these pieces of Earth to create healing affirmations. After doing this for several months, I’m so grateful for the shifts that this exercise seems to have catalyzed in me. So with that in mind, I’d like to share how can do so too.

How to Work with the Wild Earth to Create Healing Affirmations:   

Prep Meditation: Find a quiet spot in Nature to sit down comfortably. Close your eyes. Breathein and out slowly as you relax and centre yourself. Connect to your inner self or wild essence for a few moments. Then visualise etheric roots growing down from that space and connecting with the energy body of the Earth. Ask your inner wild essence, as well as your spirit guides/angels and Mother Earth to guide you as you collect pieces of Nature in your environment. If you like, you can set the intention to collect four objects, one for each element, each representing an aspect of yourself. Open up to herguidance. When you are ready, end your meditation and open eyes.

The Gathering: Staying present in the moment, explore your environment mindfully. Gather whichever natural items speak to you, reminding yourself that what you are doing is a bit like symbolically gathering forgotten aspects of yourself. Choose whatever you are drawn to – a stone, a feather, an acorn, a seashell or a piece of bark. Pay attention to any intuitive sparks or insights that come to you as you go about your gathering. Both the New Moon and the Full Moon are great times for gathering.

Creating Your Affirmations: Once you’ve collected your Nature pieces, then either open your journal to a clean page or get a blank sheet of loose paper to write on. Place one of the Nature objects that you’ve collected on the page. Look at the object and attune to its energy. Write down three or four words – positive qualities that the objects embody. Once you the have words, you can then use them to create a mantra that you can use for the relevant life area. When you’ve created your affirmation/mantra, use it daily. Meditate on it or add it to your vision board.

As per the image above, a while ago I used feathers for my Air/Mental mantra. The words tied to the qualities of the feather that stood out to me were: Light, Free, Surrender and Flow. At the time I was resisting flow a lot and struggling to surrender to what was. The mantra that I came up with was thus: “I feel as light and free as a feather when I surrender and flow with the Universe.” The more I used this affirmation, the easier it became to surrender and flow.

After the Storm…and Some Soulful Sunday Reading

Last night, the first proper Spring rains arrived, a few weeks earlier than usual. Before it started, I went outside and stood barefoot on the grass looking up at the grey night sky. I spent a few long moments revelling in the sense of mystery that hangs in the air before a storm. Little did I know that the first rains would arrive with a big bang of note – freakish hail storm and all! The hail stones were big and so plentiful that they covered the garden like a white blanket of snow.

This morning all was quiet and peaceful, like mornings after a storm usually are. Again, the aura of mystery was palpable. When I went out into the garden, my heart sank a little. I was somewhat unprepared for the level of damage done to my plant allies. I spent the morning cleaning up the herb patch, harvesting broke twigs of lavender, yarrow, stevia and chamomile so as not to let them go to waste.

And then I went about doing healing, drawing on my energy healing skills and connecting with the wild essence of each plant. I said a prayer for each botanic companion, calling on Archangel Raphael, the fairies and nature angels to bring them healing. I felt their strength and resilience, so I know that with time, each of these plant allies will be restored to their natural dignity. I know that such is the cycles of Mother Nature, but I felt a little sad about the trauma of it all. However, my faith in the garden’s renewal awakened a little more when I watched my dear friend, the weaver, rebuilding his nest after it was ripped apart by the storm. Life is irrepressible, and all of life finds a way to reclaim its place in the greater scheme of things. The idea of it restores my hope in my own ability to do the same too.

On a different note, I thought I’d also take this opportunity to share lovely blog posts that stood out to me this week some soulful Sunday reading:

Many of you may know that I’m a massive tea enthusiast. So I really enjoyed Danmala Tea’s latest blog post called Autumn.

Anne, over at the Little Forest Flower blog wrote a short but heartfelt piece called The Little Girl Within.

Danielle LaPorte’s blog post, Feeling Small, was a great pick-me-up that put problems into perspective.

I chose the colour green in Radzy’s interactive reading in her new post, Dancing with the Energy, and it just resonated with my so much.

Enjoy you Sunday ❤
