Gifts come in many packages. Often times it is not the actually physical object itself that is the gift – no matter how beautiful or practical or sophisticated or high tech it may be. It’s the feeling that it brings that is the true gift. Sometimes the gift is not so pretty. Sometimes the feeling […]
There are times where old memories rise up and feelings bring us down and there is nothing for us to do but sit in the yuck. I mean we can try to run and hide but we can’t escape our feelings. Even if we can distract ourselves enough to ignore them, we can’t fool ourselves […]
Just recently I had two people express their concerns about stones that were lost or damaged. They both contacted me within a few days of each other so I knew that there was something here that was calling for my attention. When 2 different people, from different parts of the world are echoing the same […]
I’d been co-creating stone circles for several years now and it appears to be time to give voice to the process. It is time to speak of the purpose and intention of these harmonious symphonies of stone. When I speak of stone circles I’m speaking of a purposeful gathering of more than 1 stone. It […]
The energy of this summer, for me, has been about clearing and cleansing. A LOT of cleansing – both INSIDE AND OUT. My sense is that I’m not the only one experiencing this energy. It feels very much like a universal thing … the image that came to me was of that old detergent commercial […]
There are so few surprises in our lives. I mean “true” surprises – the good kind. The kind that makes our face break out into a smile. A real time smile – not a practiced one that hurts your cheeks – not an expected one. One that starts in the heart and moves through your […]
The intense heat this summer is affecting us all in many different ways. Some of us are feeling the effects physically and some emotionally, but we are feeling the effects. We may not realize that some of what we’ve experienced – are experiencing – is connected to the weather and the activity of the Sun […]
In the midst of planning a surprise party on two days notice, I found myself feeling so uncharacteristically peaceful and calm. I was completely “going with the flow”. I should have been worried about the guest list – about getting everything I need in time – about keeping the secret, but I was not. * […]
Life is ever-changing. When we like the changes we accept them quite easily. But when those changes cause us pain and sadness we are not so open to them. In fact, we often resist them with every fibre of our being and that just prolongs our suffering. We may be aware of this – even […]
Songs take you to another place. A place outside the noise and distraction of the mind’s criticisms and thoughts of gloom. They forge a pathway deep into your soul. It is a place of peacefulness. An alignment of harmony. A place where all parts of yourself converge into fluid unity. In that space you feel […]
During my years of working with the stone people, there have been times where I’m asked for crystals that are “pristine” and free from cracks or chips or inclusions for focussing energy. It seems especially important for the point of the crystal to be nick free in order to direct energy for healing work. I understand this and if […]
As the earth begins to warm in preparation for the new life that has been gestating over the cold winter months, she begins to show us what’s been hidden from our sight during those long grey days. It is subtle at first, sweet small buds, hints of new growth, small sprays of green. Then as […]
