day 6, and i'm laughing at the idea of a 30 day blog challenge! i've been wanting to right about the magic of life, but i've been far too busy living it! 

so it got me thinking about the flow of life, and how much now i just want to live in that flow. if i had pushed myself to write every day i would not have been respecting my flow. i think we so often drop out of our flow in order to full fill a thought we think we should do and then wonder why we are no longer in our flow!

i so desire to live in the magic and the flow of life now. as soon as i step out of my flow i feel it, and it doesn't feel good! i more than just believe that it is possible to live a magical life, i know its possible, cos i'm feeling it and living it, it its oh so simple!

this earth that we live on is so darn beautiful! the more i open to the magic the more beautiful it becomes! the more i honour and love myself the more there is to love. 

dropping in, dropping in, dropping in.................into the body, into my body, into nature, into my nature.

i feel so in love with life right now. some thing so profound has shifted, is shifting. all the heavenly bodies around our planet are arranging themselves for another amazing alignment, and i feel that alignment happening within. as within so without.

so i wish to honour my uniqueness, my individuality, that's where its at. this journey is so much about finding out how we individually like to do things, not any ones elses way but our own unique way. this is where the joy and the magic lives, within our own uniqueness. 

i just wish to share i tool i'm playing with at the moment. i'm loving using questions right now as a way of expanding. i noticed i used a lot of statements to describe my life, which boxed in what i was able to experience, with a question i feel the expansion, and within that expansion to opportunity for much much magic!

so in the words of Dr Dain Heer................ How much better can my life get?

i'm playing with these words and asking questions like

How much more in alignment with my soul purpose can i get?

how much more magic can i experience?

how much more can i love my body?

There is a whole world of magic out there wanting to be experienced, and its just for you, your own experience of this magical world.

I'm saying a big juicy Yes to the magic*

Surrendering

Day 3 of my 30 day bog challenge.

I have been receiving the message of Surrender for the last few days. and it got me thinking, what does it truly mean to surrender? what does surrender look like, feel like?

when i asked these questions inwardly in meditation i received such a beautiful feeling. i myself leaning back, letting go, becoming so soft, there was a sense of being held by something so gentle, so loving, so strong, i didn't need to carry the weight of my being, i could hand it over and i would be held, carried forward. i felt as is this force, which i can only describe as love, moved me forward. 

i felt guided to write, this is what i received.

What does it mean to surrender?

To let go of a sense of struggle. To allow your self to be held and supported as you move in your life.

Humans have a tendency to feel fiercely independent as a sign of strength, this cuts off the flow of other energies being able to co-create with you. Which leaves you feeling on your own, trying to control all out comes, when you surrender and allow life, with all its subtle layers (by which we mean spirit, elementals, angels, earth energies, and a whole host of other beings that are here to help create, including each other) you are helped and guided to create that which is for your highest good and the highest good of all beings everywhere. 

How does one Surrender?

Through Trust (see earlier post on Trust)

and through opening up to more than what you see in the physical world.

All of life wishes to support you, when you surrender you are saying you understand the oneness of everything, that you are willing to recognise your place in the oneness. You can then open, open through softening, through releasing that which you have struggled with, hand it over and have it received by that which wishes to support you, and trust, trust that your needs are met. you are always loved and supported. 

Surrender is a state of being, it allows you to be present in the moment, to accept the moment as it is, surrender opens and connects to you to all that is. 

Hearts dream................dreams really do come true

Day 2 of my 30 day blog challenge and i wish to share with you my latest jewellery creation.

As i make a piece of meditate with afterwards a meaning starts to emerge, i just love it!

so here is my latest piece, it is a quite different to the other pieces i have created.

Hearts Dream

Listening to the dreams of your heart

So often we are creating our dreams from the space of the head, full of all the shoulds and shouldn'ts, ideas of what we think family, friends, society etc think we should do, afraid to truly be ourselves and live our own unique dreams. well this piece invites us to listen to our hearts, to feel our way to our dreams, to live our own unique dreams, unafraid of what anyone thinks.

its time to live your own personal hearts dream

what is your heart saying?

you can find hearts dream here................wowza, dreams really do come true! i was just about to put the link here, when i discovered that its just sold!

one of my dreams was to put a piece up and for it to sell straight away!

dreams do come true my friends!

follow your bliss!!!!!

Nourishing my body with raw vegan chocolate ice-cream! yum!

i thought i'd set my self a challenge today. to blog every day for a month and see what comes from me..............just for fun!

After a day yesterday of feeling very emotional and facing some deep seated fear, shedding some tears and making raw chocolate ice-cream, i am feeling rather fine today! 

Summer is here and an afternoon at the beach has really helped to reset my being...................i have to say the raw vegan chocolate ice-cream with home grown strawberries was just the medicine for me today.

This recipe is so simple. i made it up as i went along so i can only really guess at amounts

about 3 hand fulls Cashew nuts soaked for about 4 hours 

4 or 5 teaspoons of raw cacao powder

a couple of large teaspoons of coconut oil

8 or so soft dates

water  - as much as you need to have a nice consistency

and a pinch of pink Himalayan salt

i almost forgot A little vanilla powder or fresh vanilla pod

whizz it all up till its really smooth. i'd say keep tasting and adding a bit more of this and a bit more of that until you like the way it tastes!

now i don't have an ice cream machine, so i popped it in the freezer and stirred it every hour until i went to bed! it could have done with a little more stirring, but it tastes so good and its lovely and hot here that a few icy bits is really nice! 

and the home grown strawberries where the icing on the cake, no sorry! that's the strawberry on the ice-cream!

enjoy my friends...................what ever you choose to nourish yourself with today! 

living life magically*

Allowing my vulnerabilty

Allowing my vulnerability and my sensitive side to be.............to simply be, to hold myself in a warm embrace as i allow my life to show me the pain within. as i allow myself to open up deeper to what holds me back, i feel vulnerable, i feel and remember the teeny tiny little me, shy to show who i am. i remember my sensitivity as a small child, my shyness and then layers of shame that i am so sensitive in this big world. this world that didn't like my sensitivity, a world that had forgotten to see the beauty and the truth of life. so i hide. i shrink down into myself and i hide my truth away.

but there is such a strong desire to be who i truly am. I AM me. i can not hide it any longer, and i hold myself with love and compassion as i allow the tears to fall. lying in the long grass beneath a beautiful tree, the sun winking at me with rainbow rays through the leaves and allow these old beliefs that i must hide to drop away. It IS safe for me to be who i am in this world. there is no other path than the path that leads me home to who i am. 

i wish to embrace the fullness of who i am. all sides of myself. My vulnerability, my shyness, my power, my excitement, my sensitivity, my beauty, my ugly, my sweet perfume, my heavy sweat, all of it is me, and i now embrace it all, calling it all back to me, so i may truly know myself.

i wish no longer to look for outside validation, i wish to just simply love myself. to enjoy myself, to nourish myself, to honour myself, to know that i simply am, and to really receive my own wisdom. i am allowed to be happy, i am allowed to flourish, 

i surrender and i allow

Thank you me for all that i create in my life in order that i may grow

i feel excited as i feel all these emotions and all this energy, for i know that i am releasing and expanding. This last Solstice and Super moon, plus the latest new moon are all serving to show me where i am limiting myself, where i hold myself back and some of the very unconscious beliefs that i still act from. it has been a bit of a shock, but also a welcomed wake up call. 

i say YES to expansion

i say YES to being even more authentically me

i say YES to love

i say YES to adventure

i say YES to life

i say YES to magic

and i say YES to self love

Thank you

i love you
