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:

Silver Light and Evening Primrose Essence

A quiet calm lingers in the silver sky overhead. It’s still drenched in the soft touch of last night’s moonlight as the slow rising sun on the horizon gradually brings colour to the world. The chill in the crisp autumn air makes me feel alive and awake to the mystery of the world that is quietly unfolding before me.In moments like this, I gladly lend my heart to the Mother Nature and surrender to the caress of her wintry breeze. In return, she fills me with her wild love.

Last night, after a full moon meditation in the garden, I used the evening primrose and moonstone elixir that I made two moons ago to make an aura spray. I set the aura spray bottles out in the moonlight to soak in more Goddess energy.

Several weeks after making the initial elixir, I discovered that I’d instinctively harvesting the evening primrose flowers exactly as recommended (by a flower essence book I found) that night under the moonlight. After reading this, I wondered if perhaps these healing night flowers had guided me to do so intuitively. I’d been so drawn to them at the time and the idea of an unseen sacred communion having occurred renews my confidence in the depth of my intuitive connection to these plant allies. It’s reminded me of the kind of magic that happens when one flows with that wild inner knowing.

Evening primrose flower energy embodies a mothering essence that is great to work with for emotional healing and for opening up to emotional nourishment.  I look forward to seeing what working with these energies (combined together with the intuitive and feminine properties of the moonstone) will unfold and shift in my experience.

Wishing you a blessed and happy Monday!
