Happy wonderful Monday, Memorial Day and Spring Bank holiday!

Wow, May seems to have just flown by and it has been so lovely to see multiple graduation and celebration pictures of wonderful youth transitioning into another stage of life. As human beings we can be so resistant to change, yet change is inevitable, stimulating and promotes growth as long as we can surrender to the process, which is often the tricky part.

For the next little bit as we approach the Summer Solstice we are going to work with this gorgeous deck – Kuan Yin Oracle. “Kuan Yin is the Mother of Compassion. She guides us into our enlightenment, which is being able to live in harmony and unity with the Love that is, surrendering into the Love. Enlightenment is not meant to be a distant spiritual goal, but something that we can choose to live at any time, by choosing love, kindness, compassion and wisdom over fear, judgement, anger or separation from the Source, the Divine Feminine, that seeks to nourish us so that we blossom into the fullest of our being.”

So I invite you to take a moment and to breath into your heart. If you are able, place your hands over your heart centre and start breathing long, slow and deep into this gorgeous well of wisdom, love and certainty. As you take a breath in see a continual stream of gorgeous golden light pouring in through the top of your head and gently undulating through you reaching every cell within your physical body. This golden light caresses each cell with love, blessing them, loving them and healing them, one by one as it makes its way to your heart center where it beams out like a massive spotlight through the fog of any despair, confusion, illusion or fear. Keep breathing and keep working with this delicious golden stream, and when you feel ready, gently open your eyes knowing you can trust yourself and pick the card that calls to you this week.

So with your heart filled with golden light let’s go see what resonated for you this week.

TAI CHI RISING

Your energy field is growing stronger, with more spiritual electricity pulsing through your being. Take time to nourish your nervous system as it adjusts and be gentle with yourself as you adjust to increasing levels of spiritual potency, which gives more impact to your words, actions and thoughts. You have special light within you and the elegance, beauty and refinement of that light wishes to express itself more potently in the world of forms so that others may receive healing and refine their light too. As your energy field grows, your words and thoughts have more potency. Take your time and be careful as you realise the impact that your actions and thoughts will have in the world of forms now. You don’t need to worry about this, you can go into your heart and trust that you will exercise your will and potency in the world through surrendering into your heart, where your own Kuan Yin nature will guide you into compassion and right action.

THE THRESHOLD

At the Threshold you stand. Before you lies a way of being that is beyond fear. It is a sacred passing through a karmic veil into a new life of empowerment, peace, spiritual service to humanity and joy in your own Soul. Congratulations! You are embarking on a phase of deepest soul liberation, into freedom of love that triumphs over fear. This is a sacred and important time where it is wise to surround yourself with those that are able to support you in this love-based reality. For now, allow beloved Kuan Yin to help you connect to the beauty and potency, the love and fearless, endless joy of your own Higher Self. Do not be disheartened by any old fears that are surfacing. You do not need to create a story out of them, you can just observe them with love and allow them to pass. You are safe and you are quickening in your readiness to pass the threshold. Your journey is truly blessed.

MOTHER FIERCE

Mother Fierce is your Guardian. Nothing can penetrate the passionate fire of her fearless love. Your safety is assured. In the midst of any apparent challenge or threat, no matter how frightening it may seem, and not matter how insecure you might feel about taking a step on your spiritual path into more power, know that you are safe, you are protected, you are loved. You have been growing and sometimes this evokes responses from others. The healing for you is in how you choose to allow yourself to shine and not be diminished by the healing process of another. Know that you do not need to be afraid, nor do you need to hold yourself back out of fear. Trust in Kuan Yin as a Divine Mother of fierce compassion and protection. Trust in her Light and realise that she is shining through your own inner light, that She and You are on in truth. From this perspective, you can realise that you always have the right to say “no” to any energy of fear or doubt that seeks to cause you harm. You are being supported in retaining your inner peace in the face of any lower vibrational energy, so that you can be kind and accepting of the divine essence in all of existence, no matter how heavily veiled the divinity appears to be, and yet also remain assertive that only unconditionally loving vibrations are welcome in your energy field.

Have a glorious week!

Happy Glorious Monday and here in Canada it is a holiday, Victoria Day in fact. So to celebrate a lovely long weekend it was filled with yoga, family, friends, logger sports (yes I did say that outloud). There is something fascinating with watching a man run up an 80 foot pole with a rope around his waist, ring a bell and then dash back down. Today was a glorious hike and explore through an old cemetery and along the side of the mountain.

There is something so enervating and healing about being in the woods, totally surrounded by moss, trees, shrubs – a pure bubble of green and wayyyy down below you can hear the creek roaring, as it is so swollen with the spring runoff, over the rocks and fallen down trees. There was a moment where I just had to stop moving as the Joy and the connection to Pachamama and the Divine was just coursing through me and all I could do was smile and breathe it all in.

So I invite you to do the same. Stop moving, stop “thinking” and start breathing and feeling.

Imagine you are in a rich, deep woods and you are walking along a thin trail. Down to one side the mountain falls away and over the moss covered rocks and fallen trees you can hear and smell the water rushing below. Up on the other side the mountain reaches for the skies and everywhere you look there is a different shade of green. It would take you most of your day to count all the variations and shades of green that pour into your mind’s eye and surge through your body, so instead just breathe it in.

You make your way along the path and after a while you realise it is leading you down to the rushing water and you can feel the air get more moist with the spray that is floating up between the trees. You come around a corner and there in front of you is a gorgeous grotto of large rocks all covered with moss from years upon years of growth, like a gorgeous thick living carpet. You clamber over a fallen tree and sit amidst the rocks, leaning your back against the soft moss and looking at the water rushing by. As you come to a place of stillness and quiet you can hear the song of the water as it goes by on its merry way and it sings to you of release, cleansing and healing. Can you hear the song? This song is just for you, every cell in your body is responding to the healing green and the song is guiding you forward and holding you oh so tenderly. Reminding you how much you are loved and how treasured you are.

So with that in your heart, trust yourself.

With that trust still present and your heart open, let’s go see…..

TRUST YOURSELF

You are wise. You know how to grow, even without knowing how you know.

Like the ancient forests, spectacular galaxies and the acorn that becomes the oak, there is natural intelligence for growth that is beyond logic and reason. It just happens. You are growing. You really are. Don’t doubt it.

Even if you don’t see it yet, remember that so much is happening when the seed is still unbroken in the ground. It’s gathering up all its’ might, power and force that it will need to push above the soil and burst up into the light. Trust yourself. You know how to grow. Don’t over think things, it won’t help you. Don’t worry so much you are doing a great job in this game of life. When you trust yourself, you relax and you can heed your own wisdom.

You have a big destiny this lifetime and much to experience. Don’t resist any points of instability in your life. This even applies to your most treasured relationships or creative projects. That instability is just a growing pain because more consciousness, more love and more light wants to infiltrate and pervade all parts of your life. Choose to flow and grow.

SACRED FOOL

The fool is a great rebel, able to thwart convention and tell the truth without restraint. Your heart is a wonderful, powerful, sacred fool! It cares not for the right way to do things. It cares not for what the mind says is real and not real. It lives according to an inner wisdom that cannot be dictated to or controlled by anything. It loves, it lives and it is what is!

It’s time to take your offer to the world. Don’t try to be appropriate, don’t try to be socially acceptable and worry about what others may think – just be. If you want to wear a mad hat whilst doing so, fine.

It’s time to leave behind what has been because it no longer feels right to stay attached to it. Your mind is a monkey puppet on strings. More often than not, it is cajoled into fear when it could be playfully dwelling in the radical spontaneity of life. So, the sacred fool in you urges your mind to let itself be pulled into joy by your heart strings not into fear and doubt by media or anything else. It’s time for you to play.

It’s time for you to let life happen in a completely unreserved, unscripted way. Life wants to operate more radically through you so that you become the conduit through which miracles and crazy wild synchronicity can occur. If you find yourself making choices that have others questioning your sanity, then you are right on course. You are just approaching enlightened awareness. There is a moment – sometimes a rather long one – when we wake up to life, shed our attachment to mass opinion and float in a completely different state of being. Stay on your path, stay on the journey, remember to take nothing too seriously and it will all work out perfectly.

DEFEND TO THE END THE WORTHWHILE

Beneath the lies and illusions, pretty as they seem, you know what is worthwhile. All that is genuinely and truly essential for the heart to throb with life is worthwhile. Anything that dulls it or suffocates its vibrant aliveness, must be questioned, challenged, and more than likely cast aside, for the heart is our key to living an authentic life.

You are a sacred warrior – a defender of the heart. You have cried genuine tears of your own grief and also the grief of the world. You have felt the need to protect the presence of love, for whilst it is exceptionally powerful, it can too easily be smothered under lies and fear.

The sacred warrior is vigilant that the presence of love is not chipped away by fear, criticism, doubt or untruths. The darkness will be intelligent and sneaky. It will tell you that it doesn’t matter, that this one time you can forget what you promised, that you are just one person and that you can’t make difference. The sacred warrior within will fight with love and honour to be true to what has meaning, and never, ever allow it to be cast aside – even if it seems easier in the moment. You’re being asked to stay strong and stand your ground. What is happening, or soon will be happening is worthwhile. So hold tight. Ask for help to heal.

Have a stupendous week!

Hello delicious lovelies. Happy Monday and gosh, we are half the way through May already! The month just seems to be flying by and it’s as if every other day there is a new flower blossoming into its full glory – I love Spring for the colours, smells and the sense of rejuvenation and flourishing. Currently in the garden the purple alium are up and they make me laugh as they are these huge spiky purple bobble head balls – very Dr. Seuss like.

On the weekend I spent some meditative and spiritually filled time harvesting wild roses; and let me tell you that if there is a heaven on earth it is standing in the midst of a huge patch of wild roses and drinking in the scent whilst the sun warms your back and flutterbys undulate around you. So now, brewing away I have a rose tincture, a rose oil and a rose quartz elixir. Can you say – let’s open up that heart chakra?

Okay let’s move onto this week’s reading. So on this day let’s set the intention, the intention of receptivity and openness. I invite you to take a lovely deep breath in through your nose, hold for 3 and then sigh it out through an open mouth. As you take another deep breath imagine you are in the most gorgeous garden, it could be wild and rampaging, or neat and manicured – your choice. Look around and see how all the plants are working together and how they are all supported by nature and the seasons. The colours, the scents, the foliage – all different, but all working together. Some things will thrive, others fall away, only to shift again as the seasons change. This is amazing organisational genius at work. Now see your soul like this garden, gorgeous and magnificent, loved and nurtured by your own spiritual gardener and from this place you dare to live creatively from you heart and to thrive, like a gorgeous flower. Take another deep breath and trust your inner knowing as you pick a card.

Have you picked? Ready to see the guidance from your own gorgeous spiritual gardener?

HEAVEN SENT

Just as we receive gifts in the physical world, through the thoughtfulness of others, to acknowledge how much we mean to them, so too we receive gifts on other levels – including the spiritual level. A spiritual gift is something that happens through grace. We can ask for help and it may be given in response to that request. All requests for help are answered. There is a loving benevolence in life that knows exactly what we need and how it can best come to us, even when we are not quite so clear. This force actively seeks to assist us in walking our life path. That loving sweetness is being offered to you now, or soon will be, in the form of a spiritual gift. The spiritual gift may or may not be recognisable to you, but it is like a spiritual booster shot that helps you move forward in life with additional zing, extra strength and greater peace. Let yourself be helped. Assistance is coming your way so act on it and say yes. Trust in the things that you feel and say to others without knowing why. It moves them. You might not understand, but through trust you are allowing yourself not to overthink and censor yourself. As such you are able to become a vessel through which the spiritual gift can be passed on to others. Don’t block yourself. Let life happen through you. Only benefit can come from this!

LEGACY OF LIGHT

You are being asked to honour the legacy of light that is your sacred birthright. The legacy of light is your spiritual birthright to refine and shine your essence into the world….to be like a sun, radiant and unapologetic of your nature. The more you are nourished by this legacy of light from your past, the more you become a bearer of the legacy for those that will be supported by your light in the future. A creative choice you are making, or have made, or soon will make, is one that is in alignment with your sacred purpose and spiritual path of healing and growth. The legacy of light cannot be ignored without some detriment to your sense of well being. The issue at hand is one of utmost importance to your spiritual growth. The legacy of light also ask you to call on the unconditionally loving support that exists for you, every day. This light will offer you all manner of assistance. To not call upon it is like starving because you have no means to acquire food, whilst a feast lays before your eyes – if only you would partake of it! You have some special creative and healing offering to make to the world in this lifetime. You will leave a legacy of light for the greater good upon this planet and you will be lovingly supported in many ways by the great creative universal intelligence when you ask for help.

BE THE HUNTER, NOT THE HUNTED

Do you feel you are at the beck and call of circumstances, situations and relationships that are outside of your control? Is your attention being called away from what you love – from your passionate focus upon your own journey and creative self-expression? Are you feeling roped into becoming a support, tonic, saviour and heal-all for others? There is a big difference between healthy supportiveness in a relationship – which includes healthy self-support – and ignoring your own journey out of misplaced guilt, shame, unworthiness or the belief that the needs of others are more important than your own. That is not compromise. That is unhealthy and neglectful of yourself. You are being asked to see through the assumptions, expectations, tantrums etc that may be put upon you by yourself or others. See through them to the truth! You are capable of seeing the truth, out-smarting old patterns and responding more creatively to craft new and improved relationships. There is a message coming your way and it will be important to you and you are not to paint it as anything more or less than what it is. Sit with you heart. Take your time. Even if there is a deadline for your answer. You will be able to bend and stretch time so that in your relaxation, you can feel for what your truth is, in the situation at hand and respond appropriately. Mother Nature offers you the wisdom medicine of the owl – the ability to hear what is not spoken and see what is hidden in darkness. Trust what you feel beyond appearances.

I hope you have enjoyed this seed of guidance that you can now plant in your garden of intention and life this week. Remember your soul is like a garden and needs to be nourished with, water, sun, love and laughter! Have a delicious week.

Happy Monday! How are you on this lovely day?

I had so much fun doing this reading as the weather has been stupendous and I have spent the last two days playing in the dirt and making new homes for all my plants. It’s like therapy and grounding all in one session – I love it! Thus, I plonked myself down on the grass, surrounded by plants galore and bees buzzing in their lovely lazy way and really tapped into the nurturing energy of the earth. We are still working with the wonderful Sacred Rebels as they haven’t told me they are done yet.

So let’s tune in (as my gorgeous Yoga Guruess and mentor Sat Kaur would say), so that you are open and receptive to the guidance, input, healing or inspiration you need this week.

I invite you to start focusing on your breath, you want to breath into your belly and then eventually all the way down to your delicious toes. As you take in those long nourishing breaths imagine a winding river of golden light that starts below your feet. Sense it gathering there as a pool of liquid golden energy. It has an intelligence of its own and it winds its way into beautiful patterns before you, flowing with grace and playfulness. This river of light symbolises your life journey. Just notice it and and enjoy it. Your life journey is unique. You may focus on your own river or expand your awareness to sense the rivers of light that represent the journeys of those around you. No one has the same river or the exact same journey to take. As you follow your glorious golden river, see it come to a beautiful pool and there you can feel your truth, your being and the unconditional love of all that is holding you and whispering gently to you. When you feel ready, pick the card that resonates for you.

Now holding the energy that whatever you need is right here, right now – let’s go see.

RECEIVING

You are so loved. Your every need is witnessed and responded to by the universe. However, you sometimes forget this. You become swept up in the momentum of habitual consciousness, and you forget to take a moment to stop, breathe and be. In that moment you can receive the love of the universe that is receiving you. It will nourish you with contentment and energy. You have not done this enough so your soul is parched and drying out. Energy has been going out of you but there is not enough coming back in. It is time to bring something back in for you. Do you know how much joy the universe gains from being able to give to you? When you delight in what you receive, when you openly embrace a gift and are so happy with it, the universe is fully received by you. In this space there is joyful communion between you and life, energy flows more freely and magic happens. You are a radiant sun in human clothing. An exquisite life experience is your birthright. Enjoy it! Soak it up. All of it. Including the restoration of sacred rest. Forget your worries for a while. Switch off. Do something else. Let it all go and it will all flow.

POWER OF ATTRACTION

There is such wonder awaiting you. There are so many beautiful adventures and so much magic yet to be. Can you keep your heart open to what is coming towards you, without surrendering your experience of this moment y becoming too future oriented? You are a big soul and with that often comes big dreams. You might worry that you want too much out of life. Perhaps you think that you are only capable of small dreams. This oracle is reminding you there are stages of creation. You can’t build a house without a foundation and then flooring. Your big life dreams are a work in progress. Just like you. You are going to attract whatever is needed to complete your work in progress and bring it to fruition. Remain open to receive and trust in the unfolding of your life experiences. Do not turn away. All of the necessary elements are coming together. Allow this integration to occur so you can manifest your dreams.

TRUST YOURSELF

You are wise. You know how to grow, even without knowing how you know. You are growing. You really are. Don’t doubt it. Even if you don’t see it yet, remember that so much is happening when the seed is still unbroken in the ground. It’s gathering up all its’ might, power and force that it will need to push above the soil and burst up into the light. Trust yourself. You know how to grow. Don’t over think things, it won’t help you. Don’t worry so much you are doing a great job in this game of life. When you trust yourself, you relax and you can heed your own wisdom. You have a big destiny this lifetime and much to experience. Don’t resist any points of instability in your life. This even applies to your most treasured relationships or creative projects. That instability is just a growing pain because more consciousness, more love and more light wants to infiltrate and pervade all parts of your life. Choose to flow and grow.

What a glorious story unfolded in this weeks reading! Be open to receiving and with that you ignite the power of attraction and then you are being asked to trust yourself as you move through this process. Delicious! Wishing you a wondrous week of awareness, play and abundance.

Transformation and a Dogwood tree…

Jenny Heston · 4:55 pm ·

I don’t know about you but the word Transform or the phrase “This person experienced a transformation” seem to be popping up a lot lately. Me being me I used to be open to this concept but also a tad skeptical. Can someone really transform? Can that really happen?

So a little story for you. Grab a cuppa tea and let’s chat.

18 years ago my Dad died suddenly and in his honour I bought a Dogwood tree, as that was his favourite tree, and fairly much daily he and I would go explore and hike with dogs together. I put his ashes under the tree and planted it with great care and surrounded it with all the herbs and flowers he loved.

5 years after that my youngest was born. So in his honour and celebration I bought a plum tree and put the placenta underneath it when it was planted. Both trees grew happily, healthily and strongly until the goats got out. Now if you don’t know anything about goats, they will eat almost anything! In fact I have seen them eat tin cans and tires!

Thus, one day the goats busted out of their pen when no one was around and they did an amazing job on the dogwood and turned it into a small stump and then proceeded to have a good nibble on the plum tree. I carefully bandaged up the dogwood and the plum with hockey tape (as that was all I had), gave them lots of nutrients and hoped for the best.

11 years ago I moved from that property after an abusive marriage and there was no way I was going to leave those trees there. So I dug up the dogwood and all the dirt around it and under it, I also dug up the plum tree, wrapped its roots and soil in a sheet and took them both with me, along with my belongings and my kids. At our new home the kids and I dug a great big hole, and as I looked at this stump of a dogwood tree I decided it would be best to chop it up and put it and all its dirt into the hole and plant the plum tree on top. Which is what we did.

5 years later I noticed that the plum tree leaves were changing and no longer was it producing a gorgeous little plum or two. Odd. I took a good look at the leaves and couldn’t figure out what was happening to them – okay this is odd.

Very odd.

Over the next 4 years there were no plums, the leaves were totally different and there were no blossoms at all, but there was a sense of transformation. Then last year for the first time it blossomed, just a few mindst you. Whoot, whoot, plums again.

No.

The blooms were gorgeous but they were a dogwood flower! Excuse me? How, Why, What? I had and still have no clue.

Today, I walked outside and it was as if the tree exploded!

There are over 200 blooms on it and they are all dogwood flowers which have now become one of my most favourite flowers.

So if you ever doubt the capacity to transform, remember this tree.

If you ever doubt your strength to hold your center and BE, remember this tree (after all it was cut up and in a hole).

If you ever doubt your ability to blossom and thrive against all odds, remember this tree.

Happy transforming!
