Wild Rose: An Inner Beauty Meditation

Wild or gentle, or perhaps a mix of both. Loud or quiet, regardless of who you are, you are beautiful. Your inner light, the essence deep within is a well of endless love and wild magic. We need to be reminded of that sometimes.

Nature mirrors this beauty back to us, and delicate pink roses in particular are powerful mirrors of inner beauty. Working with pink roses has taught me many lessons about inner beauty. So in honour of your profound inner beauty, here is a special New Moon gift for you:

Wild Rose – An Inner Beauty Meditation New Moon Gift 

How Are You Working Your Light?

Plants are ancient healers. They came into being with a mission, a purpose – that is to thrive as a unique but still sacred expression of divinity, as well as heal and restore wholeness in us.

I imagine that when their seeds first fell upon the flesh of Mother Earth and they began to grow where she breathed love into them, this calling in their hearts was their compass as they prepared to journey towards the light.  And they got to work without hesitation, growing, channelling light and life-force energy from the Divine, from the Earth, from the sun, from within and transformed that energy into consciousness, healing and so many other gifts. Each has its unique properties and offerings – medicine, beauty and sometimes merely the therapy of their presence. We take this understated intelligence for granted.

Healing plants are light-workers centred in the knowing that we are each embodiments of loving light who are connected to a greater spiritual essence.

Working intuitively with plant allies has helped me see how much they have to teach about how to stay in a state of flow, how to choose the path of least resistance, how to surrender, how to honour the Great Mother and how to be of service. When I bare witnesses to the way that they often effortlessly grow, share their healing gifts, shine and work their abundant light regardless of the strife their journey may bring, I end up with this question swirling around inside me:

How am I working my own light? (in Rebecca Campbell’s words)

Asking myself that question – How am I working my light? – inspires me to be true to what my wild essence calls me to. It reminds me of the choice I’ve made in how I want to live my life and what I want to offer.

Dr. John Demartini says that the quality of one’s life is determined by the quality of the questions that you ask yourself. I feel that he is right, because asking myself this sort of question helps me shed the imaginary shackles in my mind and brings me back to what is important. It gives me a point of positive focus

When you need direction, clarity, or a bit of inspiration, it may be worth asking yourself the kinds of questions that cut through the bullshit and connect you with the guiding light of your inner wilderness. Even when the answers a simple ones only allowing you to take small steps forwards not fully knowing what lies ahead, in my experience that light bit of guiding light help me to create a sense of harmony within myself and move from one stepping stone to the next with peace of mind.

Dear hearts,

How are you working your light?

How are you honouring your wild inner light in your work?

How can you continue to walk away from fear-based living and toward an authentic heart-centred life that brings you peace and offers healing to others in the process?

The Return + Blue Moon Blessings

The Return

The sky is deceivingly blue and sunny this morning. Yet it’s freezing outside and the icy wind is still pregnant with the wild stories of winter. There are subtle changes happening though. The daffodils have sprouted. Blooming primroses are quietly making themselve know and the bird song of feathered friends I haven’t seen in months is returning too. All are welcome hints that spring will soon make her return. Right on time too, considering that tomorrow is our equivalent of Imbolc here in the South.

The Moon

Then of course, there is also a sense of excitement around tonight’s blue moon in Aquarius. Aquarius is my birth sign and when the kitchen sink overflowed while I was washing the dishes this morning (drain blockage), I wondered if it was of the force of grandmother moon pulling at my Aquarius soul. It has indeed been one of those weeks of emotionally sensitive overflow and I’ve felt blocked by fear, frustration and anger at myself and at the world. So when I sit in communion with Goddess and the moon tonight, I’ll be examining these internal blocks, releasing them and meditating on creating a greater sense of flow in my life. A cleansings smudge seems in order too.

How are you spending the blue moon? Has her energy awakened any insights in you?

Sending you Blue Moon Blessings! Here are few moon ponderings I thought I’d share:
