Self Compassion

I felt inspired today to write about self compassion. It seems to be a reoccurring theme in my one to one energy sessions with people at the moment. The message for us is to practice and embody this wonderful quality.

it seems that today for me is a day when i would highly benefit from this quality! i started my day feeling very clear that i was going to get on with a commission i have for a wedding ring, i was really looking forward to making it today. Whilst laying in by bath this morning the thought came to me to write a blog post on self compassion. so when i finally got to my computer and started to write it became more and more apparent to me that my mind and focus is very unclear today, i have a very foggy head, (could it be the energy from the full moon and eclipse?) as i tried to write i just felt as if i was unable to access any wisdom! What was self compassion? how could i translate it into words? what is going on today? This is the point at which i could have begun to give myself a hard time, i "should" do the ring, i "should" be able to write a beautiful channelled piece on self compassion! But instead of my "shoulds" i breathed and realised being compassionate towards myself for feeling foggy and tired made much more sense! Of course self compassion was on my mind today because i needed this quality for my self now!

And now i have accessed a flow of words and my energy has began to feel much softer. there is no point in beating myself up because i feel tired, i would never be like that towards some one else!

So the art of self compassion is learning to be kind to yourself, really kind, kind and supportive, loving and nurturing, yes you really are allowed to be this way towards yourself, in fact at this point in time it is of the utmost importance! ;) So many of us are clearing so much, we are feeling so much, we are becoming more and more sensitive. Its time to really be our own best friend, to love ourselves the way we would love a child a friend or a partner.

A good indicator of when to bring in self compassion

The use of the word "should"! usually (not always) means we are most likely going against our truth.

When ever we hear ourselves saying mean unkind unloving things to ourselves.

When we have become angry and express ourselves in a way we think we "shouldn't"! its really ok to express ourselves, so often we then give ourselves a hard time for it.

When we feel tired and unable to do what we think we "should" (that word keeps popping up!)

When we feel confused, unloved, unheard, useless, detached................basically anytime we feel we need support.

We can give this support to ourselves, we can say to ourselves, "i hear you, i see you are feeling tired and unable to do that thing that was sooooo important!" and we can breathe and relax back into this gentle voice, this loving voice that is ours.  We can wrap ourselves in the gentle loving energy that we would wish to receive from another. I'm sure you are good at giving this energy to others, its time to receive it for yourself.

When i do this for myself, i breathe into my body, i feel my body fill with life force, loving life force energy, our breath is our constant companion, our connection to spirit.  On my out breath i relax deeper into my body, and let my body hold me. Its great to come into the present moment and fully be with what is. You can give your self your hands, in a hug, or placing your hands over a part of your body that you maybe feeling discomfort or anxiety. Breathe into your hands and receive your touch.

Find what works for you, play with self compassion, how can you best support yourself through loving kindness. Become your own best friend. Because your worth it! ;)

So much love to you, and i wish you a beautiful magical day xxx

Magic is in the air

i woke this morning to the sound of my alarm, stretched and said my morning Mantra "i connect to the magic of the day", when ever i remember to say these few little words, something very yummy always happens, or is it that i just see my world with new eyes, through a clearer lens, one where everything seems to sparkle.

i'm feeling very excited by having begun to share about nature and her beings, since my last few sharings on his subject i am aware of how much this realm seems to be opening up more for me to see. Books have come my way to help me understand deeper the realm of nature and how we may balance ourselves with her. And opportunities to spend more time outside are presenting too! thank you life!

 i am blessed to be working one to one with people at the moment, i am able to read their energy bodies and so get such a wonderful insight as to what is happening at this time, as we are all connected through oneness each of us holds within us...........well everything! i keep seeing how we are weaving our selves back into nature. i shall explain a little.

Life loves us, all is love, but through our programming, whether that be from past experience, social conditioning, ancestral lineage, past lives, (there are many factors) we have become disconnected from the truth, and from the magic! as i was working with one client recently i could see how much life wishes to give us all that we desire, especially love! its there and waiting for us, always present! But we are blocked to it through our perceptions and misunderstanding about the reality of life. So many of us have now released so much that we are able to reconnect to the magic! and its super exciting! Nature and the elementals are so happy, in order for balance to be restored we must connect with them again.

i was thinking recently about how excepted Angels are now, which is such a wonderful thing, but there is another energy that is always present for us too and that is Nature! the elementals, fairies, Devas and nature spirits. i shall indeed write more, i feel so excited that i find it hard to put my words into an order that conveys what i wish to share!

There is magic in the air dear friends, nature wishes so much to dance with you! Allow it in, open your eyes to its splendour, witness it with innocence, see it as if you had never seen it before, it loves you!!!!!

Last night i was connecting with my crystals, getting them ready for a full moon eclipse 2 night outside under the moon light cleansing! phew...........they were tingling with excitement!

 

" I CONNECT TO THE MAGIC OF THE DAY"

Spring has sprung!

After a very cold start to spring, the sun has finally blessed us with the beginning of some warmth. I had to grab my camera, and head out to see what spring had to offer and to get my bare feet on the earth. One of the best ways i know to re balance is to walk barefoot on the grass, to breathe in the glory of the sun so it pours into each cell and reawakens me. Spring is finally here. And the flowers are coming out. i love spring!

 The Periwinkle, one of my favourite flowers, i love the way it looks as if it has its arms stretched out so joyfully, just celebrating in the fact it is a Periwinkle! There is so much to learn from the flowers, how would we feel each day if we awoke in the morning, stretched and celebrated the joy of being alive and being us! Perfectly us, just as we are, no need to be any different................nature has so much to teach us.

I have no idea the name given to this beauty................my daughter and i were out with the camera enjoying our new life as Unschoolers, remembering the simple joys of life.

My daughter jade relaxing into her new life with out school.

and me enjoying the sun, with my notebook and bare feet! Simple pleaures.

May you enjoy Spring and all it has to offer you. 

Sharing a little of my experience with the Elemental realm

I feel that this is such a huge subject and not one that i have all the answers to, but i do hope that the more i connect to this realm the more i shall learn and the more i can share, because they really do want us to share about their existence. 

I feel my connection to this realm is a gentle unfolding. As i child i always believed in fairies, my friend and i would leave out a dolls house sized cup of water for the fairies before we went to sleep at night, it was always gone in the morning! i felt this other realm, but did not talk about it as i knew because i had been told that these things were not really real. so as i grew up and just got on with life, the mundane less magical side of life. But i did continue to love images of fairies and woodland creatures, i loved to be outside and to connect with the elements. I always knew there was more to life than meets the eye. 

A couple of years ago as my spiritual life opened up more and more, and what i mean by that is that as my senses opened more and more i began again to reconnect with this realm. I went on a course led by a friend, that taught me to open and to trust. my intuition and my ability to perceive and receive energies took off. i was now open to the angelic realm, to Gaia and to the elementals. The course had taught me to read peoples energy fields and i began to see these beings that work with energy.  

I also began to hear this realm. i have never heard a voice different to my own, haha, i have to laugh as i write that for i hear a voice now that is not my own and she says to me "is that true?" Ok so here we have a fine example of why i have not wanted to share of these things in the past. having been taught that hearing voices is a sign of mental illness i guess there has been fear of how people might receive what i am saying. i can assure you though that these voices are as real as yours and mine, because i can feel the energy of that Being too, and because these Beings are always so loving. The way i hear these voices are as i would hear my own thoughts, i know they are not my thoughts though because of the quality of the energy that goes with them, it is a fuller experience than just hearing a thought, there is always the feeling of love when i receive any communication, you could say it is a communication through the heart.

I often perceive the light of their Being too. i see them in my home, they dart around the room, too fast and too small to make out any form and maybe these Beings form is that of pure light?  i have had a few experiences of an energy that looked kinda like smoke or fog, come and move right in front of my face, that always created much excitement in me! And when i am writing i see little lights dancing around my pen and my page. These energies are so playful, so full of joy and fun, they love to laugh and sing and dance. they are such pure, innocent, love energy. i love them and i wish to share this magic with any one that is open to receiving these energies into their lives. 

There are so many different ways to experience these different Beings, of course being out in nature is a potent way. In the woods, the trees, near water, around flowers, where ever you go there is an opportunity to experience these many different Beings. 

They wish to reconnect with us. there was a time when these energies were just part of our lives, in some parts of the world this is still the case. But on the whole we have become so far removed from nature that we no longer even see the beauty of that which is around us. It is time for us all to reconnect to the magic of life, to nature, to our own true nature. It is time now to open again to receive life as the magical miracle that it really is. For life on Earth to flourish, for us to stop destroying the planet they say that we must reconnect with them, for they not only know how to live in harmony with the earth but they are the harmony of the Earth, and when we connect with them we too can become part of that harmony for that is our true nature, it is our true nature to live in harmony with this planet, to learn to love one another as equals, to drop so many of the false games that disconnect us not only from nature but from each other and from our own selves. The elementals wish to be part of our healing. 

There is so much i want to share and i as i write i feel their excitement too. There is a magical web of energy that connects everything, and you are invited to consciously connect to that web and allow magic to unfold in your life. for that is what life wishes to give you, the most exciting and colourful life you can imagine (and more!) and the elementals can help us on our journey.........................

I just have to include this picture as one of my favorites!

It's time for me to speak about the Elemental kingdom

I have been feeling for some time now that what i really truly wish to write about are the Elemental energies of this earth. i shall admit that i have had fear around speaking about this subject, but i can truly no longer keep it in. And i know with all my heart that this is a subject that must be talked about as openly as possible.

My fear of writing and speaking about it is based upon a few facts. Those being that one, we (especially in the west) are mostly taught that these energies do not exist, that fairies and elves and other such beings are that of myth and legend. We have been taught that what we can not see does not exist. My other reason, which surprised me, was that i actually had a fear of these beings and energies. I would sit in my living room in the evening and watch my cats watching invisible energies moving around the room, at fist i was really uncomfortable and a bit freaked out my this! But i had such a deep desire to meet more closely with these beings that i decided to face my fear. i also found that i had a fear that i may also be taken away by them! I have since read accounts of such things, but these are not the things that i now turn my attention to. I just share these words as i way of saying that there is nothing to fear and that it is time for us as the human race to reconnect with these energies, these beings that live so closely and intimately with the earth, they know how to live in harmony with her and they have said to me that in order for us to live in harmony with the earth and restore our beloved planet to her full glory we must reconnect with our neighbours the elementals that share this earth with us.

Now, my experience of these beings varies and i am told that there are many ways that we may experience them. There are so many different types of beings and energies, which i hope in time i will share more and more about. i have been aware now for a few years that i need to share what i know, but through fear, my own fear of being seen and stepping out into the world i have kept it inside. now there is so much i wish to share that i hardly know where to begin! 

I asked a friend to give me some questions recently and so i shall begin to answer those here in this space. But first i wish to share the first few paragraphs of some writing i began last year....................

Have you ever experienced a realm other than the one you can see touch taste and smell? Have you ever felt that there is magic just beneath the surface. That you could just step through into another reality where all the colours are more vibrant, where the scent of nature fills your entire body, where magical being of the most beautiful essence fill the air, weaving together the most wondrous experiences you could never imagine. Love is unconditional here, so much so that the words unconditional love do not even exist. Life is a constant unfolding moment of joy. All is in harmony with itself and its surroundings, here is the place that I know………….this place exists…………this is the place that underpins our world. Our world of density, our world of illusion and pain, of smog and hurt and sadness. This only exists due to the fact that we have become disconnected to the truth that underpins our reality. We feel lost in pain that we can no longer remember how to return to this space of innocence.

As a child this place was known to me, I felt it in every part of my being, I knew it, I remembered it, I saw it in the face of every flower that I looked upon, every tree that I sat in. they whispered to me, spoke gently to me of friendship and love. The clouds that past me by on a summer’s day waved to me and showed me pictures of animals, to entertain me and bring me joy.  I did not question this world, I felt the beings that lived in this world, I believed them to be of my imaginings, but all the same they still felt real. I was so deeply connected to this realm of nature that I never questioned it, never knew that other people were not aware of it, and so in a way I didn’t know I was aware of it, it simply was. A magical world of nature, where all was possible, where all was important, there was not even a single blade of grass that did not receive the same amount of love as any other creature or plant in this realm, all was born of love and all knew it too. So there was no need for fighting, no need to feel lost or unsafe, for all knew the truth of who they were.

This realm is not a separate realm to our own perceived reality. It is weaved into the very structure of all that we know.  It is the blueprint, the foundation of our world. 

Please know that you are so dearly loved and that all of nature now wishes to guide you home so that you may now live in harmony here on Earth.

(writing this is me taking my first few small steps on my epic journey of life :0)

Taking small steps on an epic journey

A story of life seems to be creating itself in my thought. And as it does i begin to wonder how different our lives would be if we were told from birth that what awaited us in life was the most exciting story that we would ever know. That our lives would be full of magical encounters, visions of the most beautiful nature, experiences that we could not even imagine for ourselves for they had never been experienced by anyone else and were meant only for us. How would our lives have shaped themselves?
if we had known that this was our birth right to experience such an exciting life.  what choices would we have made differently?

How might my life change from this day forward if i choose this now to be my story? if each morning i wake and choose to remember that my life is a unique story unfolding perfectly for me to learn all i need to about life and the true nature of my being.

It has been suggested time and time again through various readings, astrological reports and other such mediums that my life is to become so much more than i know it to be today. up until today that thought has excited me but has also frightened me, for i could not see how i could possibly go from where i am now to where i see my future to be, and so instead of moving forward in trust, i seem to freeze in fear.

Over the past few weeks as i steer my life back into the flow and again begin to hold, what i am calling intuitive healing sessions with people, a message keeps coming through. and that message is SMALL STEPS.

 i have felt overwhelmed by the thought that i had to create something big, it felt so big that i would always see the big end result but could not for one moment see how i was to get there. Today i saw life differently, once again i was given some information via a finger tip analysis that a friend is learning. It said that it was part of my experience to be in the spot light, and some how hearing that again today (this message has been coming in various forms for a few years now) i feel ready to let go.

To let go any need to know how. And to start moving, no longer frozen by fear, but excited by the things i love, knowing that they are my way forward, that they are my path, my path is to be one of freedom, to know that there is an adventure that wants to unfold, and that all i need to do is the small steps. One small step at a time, each small step being a step that brings me joy.

So i dedicate myself to taking small steps forward, to doing what makes my heart sing and knowing with all my heart that i am supported in each and every moment that i flow in the direction of my life's most exciting path.

What Love wishes you to know in this moment

I'm wondering how to start this blog post.......................I've published a few blogs over the last year and a half, always with the thought it will become regular and i will discover what i wish to share, there is always so much to share that i find myself in this place of feeling almost blocked and then share nothing!

So taking a deep breath, a breath that reaches into the far corners of my body i ask spirit. what would you have me write spirit? what would my inner being most wish to share and communicate at this time? and i hear one word, and that word is LOVE!

LOVE..............the focus of my life. My strongest desire at this time is to communicate love through all that i do. Through my words, through my parenting, through my jewellery, through by friendship, all of it is for love. As i write these words i feel my heart centre expanding and tears welling up within me.................all i truly wish to do is to express the love within, the love that i know myself to be, the love that i know we all are. The love that everything is.

Woven through the fabric of everything is the life force that is love, and through a deep need to remember the truth of life i have remembered the love that is at the core of everything. The only thing that this love wishes for is that it continues to be expressed.

What would Love wish you................. yes the beloved you that is reading these words in this moment.............what would Love have you know?

That you are loved, that you are loved so very deeply. You are known through out all space and time, you are known by Gaia our Beloved Mother Earth, she knows each and everyone of us intimately, with out judgement, she loves and cherishes us. Love would have you know that you can never do any thing wrong, that there is no judgement on you, only the judgement you put on yourself. Love would have you know that there is nowhere else you need to be other than right here right now, breathing in the truth of who you are. you are an intimately connected part of the whole.  You are loved exactly how you are in this moment, breathe in the beauty of who you are, for there is no one else in existence that can do you the way you do you!
