Breathing

Anyone who has ever meditated or taken Yoga knows the importance of the breath, of deepening and slowing our breathing to quiet mind, body, and spirit.

NOTRIPPHOPHIA

I am usually in Ireland the month of May. So you can bet that when I saw a t-shirt on Facebook with the banner NOTRIPPHOBIA (the fear of not having any trips booked), I took a long look. Then I thought about the power of words and how negative statements can attract or reinforce negative outcomes while positive statements lead to positive results.

Devas of Form

Mother Nature is at work. This time of year, the signs of reawakening life are all around us. Given our recent Covid experience, being outdoors and with Nature brings even more joy and awe. I usually am in Ireland or one of the other Celtic Nations in May. This year I am home being reminded of how spring flowers, bees and green grass brighten spring wherever I am. And I am truly grateful.

Mouse Spirit

It will be not just mouse energy, but lion strength and lamb gentleness that are needed as we move forward into a new era of reunion. It will take the medicine of all our earthly animal friends and all the powers of Divine Love and Understanding to regain-or perhaps attain for the first time- inclusive Beloved Community.

Water

As a Pisces, as a lover of the seascapes and the sounds and flow of ocean waves, I have written about, photographed and shared a great deal about water, the element featured in today’s blog. Instead of saying anything more, I invite you to listen to this beautiful story.

Drumming

When I was in high school, yearbooks had captions under each senior’s name. One that was often used was “Music soothes the most savage beast, but I play the drum.” It is actually a misquote. The original was “Music has charms to soothe the savage beast. To soften rocks or bend a knotted Oak.” (Congreve).

Either way, the point was: there is a power to music, especially the drum, that goes back to ancient times. That power may express or incite anger, soothe, or even heal. The simple beat of a drum can do any or all of those. We might first think of the beat of a bass drum or the rat-a-tat of a snare drum in a parade or military marching band. The Scottish tattoo is classic as are other pipe and drum songs, like “When Johnny Comes Marching Home.” Or we might think of the electrified drum beat of hard rock.

Ring of Fire

I received a clear message that I, like the fire of the sun, was to stop, take notice, and deeply let the energy of the moment penetrate through my skin, connect with my innermost passions, and commit me to embracing the shift that has been put before us.

Alignment

I had never thought much about how the stars and planets align and what that might mean for my life and the life of our planet. In the last month, there was tremendous celestial activity: three eclipses. The power of the skies was not to be ignored.

Working With Energy+

I find it intriguing and ironic that we are now beginning to see that the Ancient Ones understood and used energy in ways that are just coming into our awareness. You don’t have to visit ancient sites to open to this awareness. A walk in the woods, sitting in a garden or watching a sunset can do it.
