With Mercury Retrograde in Pisces, Grounding is Important. So let’s make a Trifle!

Happy Magnificent, Mercurial, Magickal, Manifesting Monday Delicious Lovely! Today is a delightful holiday here – Family Day – so I’ve been hanging with the mob and as the sun has been shining, gardening had to happen! Thankfully where I live the Parks department of the City creates a huge, massive pile of hot, steamy, well aged compost (soooo love the smell). So I hauled a truck full of it on the weekend, weeded, gently moved renegade blue bells to a new spot and popped all the stinkiness into the garden. Yum!!! I revel in talking to the plants, advising the weeds they need to politely depart and exploring all the little buds and strivings of green shoots that are pushing up getting ready for Spring. Makes my heart soar and I find it is a fabulous way to let visions flow.

We have lots to explore today and we are going to play with the analogy of making a Trifle (work with me here), to explain everything for this week. You ready?

Today we enter Mercury Retrograde! Whoot, whoot! (Can you say, hold onto your bloomers?) So as we know Mercury is the planet of communication, mentality, thinking patterns, rationality and reasoning, and adaptability and variability. So yes we can sometimes get a tad lost and a bit like Chicken Little running around saying “Mercury is retrograde, Mercury is retrograde! But prior to running around like Chicken Little, let’s think of Mercury Retrograde as the Jelly in the Trifle okay? Wobbly, interesting and sometimes slips off your spoon.

When Mercury enters into retrograde, it guides us to tap into the unseen, hidden realms of our mind. It helps us to tune in and listen so we can become better communicators, on all fronts. While things in our outside world may feel a little chaotic and all over the place during a Mercury Retrograde, it is our inner world that is calling to us.

This is the perfect time to really take the time to investigate some of the leftovers from the past. Now what do I mean by that? Let’s say every time you think of your sister there is a resentment about something she did or didn’t do. Therefore this resentment is taking up space in your head and heart, holding energy blocked instead of allowing it to flow. Time to let that puppy go and welcome your own energy back clear, clean and fresh. So if you experience any “tweakiness” during this retrograde take a moment to look at if it’s coming from outside of you or from inside. If it’s yours and it’s holding old energy that can be better used in the present day. Let it Go! If it’s coming from outside you (like your partner, your kid), you have no control over other people, places, situations and things. So don’t let your energy get sucked down that rabbit hole.

So then to add to it, we are in the Waning phase of the Moon. In other words, we have had a glorious Full Moon and now it’s getting smaller and smaller as the New Moon approaches. It’s a re-lease, re-flect time, a re-trograde time! (This is the custard of the Trifle).

Then if you remember, the Shamanic theme of this month is Management. This is about really managing our energy, staying out of overwhelm, managing our thoughts and letting go of those sticky pieces of the past that are taking up space. (So now we have the Lady Fingers and Fruit in the Jelly of the Trifle). Lol. Getting hungry yet?

So with all of this swirling around you, the most important thing to remember is to be Grounded. (This is the glorious Whipped Cream on the Trifle that brings it all together.)

When you are grounded, it’s as if you have put huge roots down into the Earth and are being held, supported, nourished and nurtured. So no matter what winds, or energies, or loopy things happen around you, or what someone says to you, you can bend and sway with grace and then come back to center. Aaaahhhh, it feels lovely, yet we so often forget to do it and wonder why at the end of the day we feel fragmented, foggy, overwhelmed, haven’t slept well etc.

There are so many easy, easy, techniques to ground. Drop a grounding cord (you can do this in a grocery store line up – if you don’t know how to do this email me). Cover your crown chakra for 30 secs and breath into your feet. Smudge and set an intention. Stand in tree pose and visualise your roots going down, down into the Earth (I have done this one in meetings!) Hug a tree. Stand on the earth/grass with bare feet and breathe! Follow your breath for a few minutes (fabulous to do when waiting at a red light). Rub your palms together and wiggle your toes at the same time.

The key thing is to do it every day. You can’t set a grounding cord and expect it to stay there for a week or so, yes? So with all these they offer you the space to clear your mind, calm your emotions, manage your energy and let the delicious whirlwind of Mercury retrograde to just tousle your hair instead of blowing you over. Let me know which ones you pick.

Phew, okay, let’s crack on with the reading! (I can so chunter on lol). I will be honest, when I went to the cards to ask who wanted to guide this week (and you bet my mind had an idea of what it wanted). I laughed so hard that my tea came out of my nose, not an attractive sight! It wasn’t the cards that my mind were thinking of, but it is the cards that my guides picked. And they picked The Oracle of Divine Circus.

Now if these glorious, cheeky guides are new to me, please let me introduce them – as it’s rude not to. The reason I laughed is these glorious guides are playful, but deep. They think outside the box and invite you to do the same. “What is life if not a Divine Circus? Life might seem ordinary at times, yet when we look more closely, it is bursting with creative diversity, constantly evolving, pulling rugs out from underneath our feet (usually just at the moment we think we have everything under control) and opening doors we couldn’t even see were right there before us moment earlier. Life is magical, thrilling, sometimes strange and even scary. It can inspire you and touch your soul, inviting you to discover the unique magic within you, to dare to live it, to express it, to play with possibilities and embrace what sets you apart from the crowd. “

Yup, I think they are perfect for this week!

The crystals that wiggled and jiggled to be involved are:- Labradorite, Carnelian and Black Moonstone. Oh yes and the glorious Camellia flowers that are popping out everywhere wanted to come and shed some love and light.

So my Delicious Lovely, let’s take a moment to settle in shall we? Just breathe yourself back into your body, imagine your feet on the earth, the breeze gently brushing your cheek and breathe. Allow all the dramas, the thoughts and the worries to seep out your feet and drop into the earth. If you would like some extra support on re-leasing there is a glorious guided visualisation for you. Then when you feel ready and in your heart space pick the card or cards that whisper to you on this delicious day.

Did you remember to pick?

Come with me and let’s go see shall we?

CONFETTI

You will soon have cause for celebration. Whether a big win or a token gain affirming that the best is yet to come, sweet success is headed your way. Prepare to celebrate!

It’s time to find the celebratory spirit within. Maybe you already feel it, or maybe it’s the last thing in the world you can imagine feeling right now, but whether it’s on your radar or not, a cause for celebration is imminent. So can you put yourself in the party mood? It starts with a carnival attitude and a pleasure-seeking state of mind. Can you allow for pleasure? For play?

Oh yes, there is always so much to do, but sometimes all that can happen more quickly and easily another day. It’s time to spend your energy in playfulness. That is the most enjoyable piece of spiritual guidance you are probably ever going to receive – so relish it! Don’t wait another moment to get your celebratory vibe on! If you want more success, happiness and celebration in your life, you can enhance that right now by being happy for the success of others around you. Do you know that success is like a wave? When you genuinely congratulate another and feel happy for their happiness, your own energy field gets a jolt of that same energy. You attract it into your own life. You deserve success for all you are and all you’ve accomplished just as much as anyone else.

Be happy for them and be happy for you as the universe is giving you notice of a party – and you are most definitely meant to attend – and it’s heading your way.

THE GOOD GEISHA

You are clever. You know how to play an impressive game of strategy to win approval and gain allies. Even without always noticing it consciously, you can sense what people want. Sometimes you are so good at showing others what they want to see that you forget how beautiful you are when you are just being you. But your time has come, the time to unveil the one true real you and attract the allies who are not interested in what you can do for them, but who love you for who you really are.

You are ready to opt out of a game that most people play unconsciously. It’s a game of image and appearance at the expense of the true self.

So many people are so used to playing this game they no longer realise they are doing it. They don’t really know who they are and they are afraid to really find out. They live behind masks that appeal to others but slowly starve their authentic self, denying it the opportunity to experience being seen and to receive real love. Any promise of success, love or wealth that begins with you contorting yourself into something you are not is a false promise. It cannot deliver anything worthy of you.

You are not one of those fearful souls, but you know what it is like to have been caged in an invisible prison, a way of thinking and being that is not good for you. In times gone by, your soul has been shackled, your voice silenced, your true beauty hidden under more “appropriate” and “acceptable” guises, your intentions misunderstood and your words misconstrued. You’ve been like a beautiful wild creature, captured as though somehow you could be tamed and changed.

Be unafraid to discover the depths of your own being coming to life. If you do not, you shall bind yourself to a life far too bland for the colour and majesty of your soul. Being what another wants you to be is a false promise of love, and you are destined for love, real, wild, pure and true. Make sure you start by giving it to yourself, then you can share it with others and receive it from others too.

TIGER ANGEL

The Universe needs you. It needs your strength, your guiding hand, your devotion, your goodness and your protection. There are people, projects, ideas and hopes that need your encouragement, your optimism, your nurturing. You have helpful healing power in you. Be confident enough to be gentle and your inner power shall uplift and protect many in this world, keeping them safe and inspiring them to trust in love.

We all have moments where we wonder if we are doing such a great job at this game of life. The idea of helping others might appeal; and yet, when we have our moments of struggle in our own lives, we may question whether or not we are a good candidate to protect, guide and nurture others.

When the desire to create a positive contribution to the world exists in your heart, you must remember that such desire was placed there on purpose, for your life purpose.

There is a truth in your heart, the truth that knows every being is loved and serves to feel safe and live their life in freedom and truth. Your adherence to this truth can tame even the most fearful and resistant thoughts within you and the people around you. Your invisible influence also helps all beings to remember that there is no need for fear, and that together, we can create a world where all creatures are happy and free.

Oh my gosh, how delicious and delightful for this glorious energy time. Wishing you an amazing week filled with the deep sense of ease that comes with grounding, the fiery passion of dreams burbling, the soothing waters of emotional well being and the gentle breeze of knowing and surety. Sending you massive hugs and squeezes! (Psssst, and remember to laugh!)

Simple Abundance, Post Full Moon and Valentines Day!

Jenny Heston · 1:00 am ·

Happy Marvellous, Magickal, Mysterious, Magnetic, Mesmerising, Melodious, Mellow, Manifesting Monday! How was the lovely Full Moon for you? I have heard from quite a few of you that you experienced big releases, and delicious heart openings which are awesome. I took some time that day for ritual and then spell casting in the evening (yes I did say spell casting). It was a glorious spell for Joy activation that is best performed under the Full Moon, so I most certainly did it and it felt marvelous (and my home smelled divine). I went to the beach as the sky was crystal clear and hung out with the waves, the moon and listened to that delicious sound that the waves make as they tickle the underside of the rocks. I also took all my crystals outside to get a divine moon bath!

I have had quite a few emails asking if the Imbolc reading special is still available. You bet, until the morning of the 14th (Friday).

Since the beginning of January I have been working with a book called “Simple Abundance”. What is interesting is that I had this book 18 years ago and it didn’t resonate for me at all – so I gave it away. However, now it does (gotta love how books know when you are ready for them.)

One of the things that I’ve been playing with this last week is seeking out the Sublime in the Ordinary. We all have days where we are ruled by our “to do” list and there are the mundane chores that need attending to, so to keep our daily rounds from being all drudgery, we’ve got to savour the art of the small: discovering diminutive delights that bring us joy, peace and pleasure. For example, when I have to cook dinner, instead of multi-tasking on the phone, listening to the radio and getting frustrated with the veg I need to chop. I have been embracing being present and having fun with the food creation and infusing it with love. When I feel bent out of shape that we have had days upon days of rain, I pull on my rain pants and wellies and hop with delight in every puddle I see! I bought a gorgeous bouquet of flowers and have them on the mantelpiece, and I bought a bunch of primulas and popped them into my pots so I see them every time I leave or come home. Simple things that make my smile and give me joy.

In doing this we really seize the essence of life. Embracing every moment. As Margaret Collier Graham wrote in 1906 – “People need joy quite as much as clothing. Some of them need it far more.” So what are some of the joyful simplicities you can bring into your life?

On Friday we have Valentine’s Day. Which let’s be honest, has now become a Hallmark celebration thanks to Chaucer in the 14th century), the meaning of love has become about romantic love which can be tough for people if they have lost someone, choose to be single or just want something different. According to legend, Saint Valentine restored sight to the blind daughter of his judge, and he wrote her a letter signed “Your Valentine” as a farewell before his execution. The Feast of Saint Valentine was established by Pope Gelasius I in AD 496 to be celebrated on February 14 in honour of the Christian martyr, Saint Valentine of Rome, who died on that date in AD 269.

So I’ve perked what I want to do for Valentine’s and how I want to share and spread love to those I know, and those I don’t. Meringues it is! Little wee meringue nests filled with whipped cream and topped with a raspberry and gift them. Why? Because I believe it is important to remind people that they are loved, seen, valued and important, even the people you don’t know that you walk past on the street. So if any of you want to come over and help meringues, please do and if you know how to make tin foil swans – let me know.

When I went to the cards to ask who wanted to come and guide this week I was tickled when The Oracle of the Dragonfae were adamant. Now if these guides are new to you, please let me introduce you:- These guides are the magickal and mystical that weave through the threads of every day, they are the Dragonfae, Gods and Goddesses who dwelt in dimensional lands….Eden, Avalon, Ys, Atlantis and Mu, they are Morgan, Guenevere, Merlin and others – fully alive and filled with magick! They are the deliciously magickal beings that have always been there, we just forgot, and when we connect with them, we reconnect with the lost parts of ourselves, allowing us to fully explore the gift of life on this beautiful green and blue planet, known by some as Gaia, by others as Dana, and by many other names.

The crystals that wiggled and jiggled to participate are Angel Wing Phantom – Tranquility, Peacock Ore – Happiness/Joy and Mookaite – Nurturing/Decision making. The lovely snowdrops wanted to come participate and are now sitting in a wee vase on my desk.

Okay gorgeous one, let’s take a moment shall we? I invite you to breathe in through your nose and sigh it out through your mouth. Allow your breathing to slow in its own way. And as it does invite into your minds eye the conception of Joy. What does it look like? What does it feel like? If you would like a bit more support there is a lovely guided visualisation for you. Then when you are ready, pick the card or cards or all of them (there is no right or wrong way) that call to you.

Did you remember to pick?

Are you ready to go have a little look see?

THE LADY GRIAN

I am of the Earth and of the Sol-star’s light. I am the opening of the flower, the love that lives in the flower of your heart. I love you, and wish for you to draw this love energy into your being.

I am a power source that you cannot neglect. Because even if you feel you are being of winter, and that your heart has grown cold and hrd in order to ease the pain, I tell you that you are now ready to reveal your own life source and warmth to another being. The love you have to share will be appreciated and returned. More so, this warm and loving heart energy will be its own reward, as you awaken again to your feeling nature. Please open your heart in this moment.

Allow yourself to love. See the beauty in warmth, and smile as often as you can. Bring forth your joy, and see the opening of others’ hearts. Wear yellow, red and gold: all the colours of my friend, the Sun, and you will feel a great flow of energy awakening throughout your body and energetic being. Please see that the seeds you planted need warm earth in which to grow. Yes, they can survive when it is cold, but they cannot thrive.

So be warm, extend your energy, and know that your truly radiant self will create great opportunity and abundance around you. Simply extend some heart energy, and I will support you and love you until you are the radiance of the Sun incarnated in your own form.

Love. Be loved. Love.

CHUMARA

Beyond the mask we all wear of identity, beyond the construct of who we have been conditioned to believe we are lies your face, your self. This face is tender and new in so many ways, as you have not shown her to the world before. This face has been protected because the world has seemed and proved indeed at times to be a dangerous and unkind place, where those of us who feel different are proved to be so as we brave the taunts and finger pointing. But I now tell you that your protections, your armour and your shield can be removed safely with me. Do not discard her, as you may need her yet in certain situations. But know now she is your armour and her role is to protect your true being.

To you, I now reveal myself. See? Many have recoiled in horror at who I truly am. I’m a Dragonfae Maiden, a Spider Woman, a being of webs and change and destruction, and re-creation. Each day I must remake my world….I feel along its sensory threads to see what needs reconstruction and what needs to be let go of. For I am, as you are, part of the new web of life – a web of life that embraces our differences and yet understands that we are one.

I ask you today to look at the webs in your life that must be remade and rewoven….. Remove your mask that says “I am this,” and know you are that, but also so much much more.

HIDEKI’S DOOR

I know you wish to reach out, and yet you hold back. I know you feel drawn to knock on this door and to see whether it will be answered this time…and yet you fear so much. You fear that it will not be answered…that the answer or the face that appears beyond the door will not be to your liking…that if you enter, you may never return… I cannot put your fears to rest, for only you can do that. But I can tell you what I see. I see a spirit whose flame has flickered low,, whose light is in danger of going out if it does not take the next step. For years you have passed this door and many times you have found yourself here. You may even have knocked at the door, only to flee, like a terrified child, before the door was opened to you.

I say to you now: it is time. Reach out. Knock at the door. And let what will be, be.

Nervous about a new chance…feeling as though your comfort zone is far better than the unknown; longing to travel and to change, yet unwilling to do anything about it; procrastinations and old habits keeping you from reaching out and accepting what is being offered. You are ready…it is simply nerves that are holding you back, conditioned fears and internalised voices from the past. Reach out…take a hold of the handle and be ready for the wonder of the unknown that lies beyond the door. The doors of perception are about to change…forever.

You have nothing to fear, except fear freezing your hand, again. Knock on the door. All is well.

Ahhhhh, lovely! So my delicious lovely, remember the Imbolc reading special is only until the morning of the 14th, if you want to take advantage of it. Have a stupendous week and please play with seeing the Sublime in the Ordinary and breathing in and becoming a delicious beacon of love. Remember you are precious and important and have so much to share. Big hugs and squeezes!!!

You Are Not Alone! (Even in the Shower.) Post Full Moon Eclipse.

Jenny Heston · 1:01 am ·

Happy Magickal, Miraculous, Manifesting, Melodious, Mischievous, Magnificent, Marvelous Monday! It was the glorious Full Moon Eclipse on Friday and how was that for you? Did you feel twitchy, weepy or overwhelmed? I ask as a lot of people shared with me that they most certainly did.

I have to say it rather blew my hair back as I noticed during the week all sorts of pieces and thoughts were coming up and I was pissed! I don’t mean a gentle – hour or so of being grumpy, I mean a full on anger that lasted 4 days!!! (Which I found super challenging as I am not normally an angry person!) I was so out of alignment with myself and my connection to the Divine. I was literally swimming around in a massive negative head space and everything made me angry. Including the weather! I felt horrendously alone!

It was so overwhelming and bizarre and wasn’t directed at something or someone – it was just there and I could feel myself wanting to “squirt sideways”. Which as I know is never a good plan; and what was even more strange was that I had forgotten where I put my virtual toolbox. Thus, I did my best to keep myself to myself, avoid situations or people that I might possibly explode on which only enhanced the feeling of being alone, separateness and abandonment. Then the day after the eclipse I listened to the very faint whispers of Spirit and followed what they told me to do and lo and behold my virtual toolbox reappeared and I have spent the last couple of days playing with all of the tools, and happy to say – there are no dead bodies in the freezer! Which is a fabulous thing as the freezer is small and I don’t own a chainsaw! I’ve remembered how to pivot, how to release and how to come back to the present with joy. And that sense of separateness is gone. Thank goodness!

On Sunday I heard a fabulous article on the news about how people are creating nests, wraps and pockets for the baby animals that have been orphaned and made homeless in Australia.

The fires have killed an estimated 500 million animals in Australia since October, according to an Associated Press report. Twenty-five people are dead, nearly 1,900 homes destroyed, more than 100,000 people have been forced to leave their homes and more than 12.5 million hectares of bushland have burned. This is huge!!!!

We often think of the people, the homes etc. But how often do we think about the animals? So groups all across the globe are getting together and knitting nests, sewing pockets for baby kangaroos and ensuring that all these glorious little animals have a safe place to recoup in. I have to say it made my heart warm it really did. Knitters around the world are hand making pouches, nests and mittens for animals affected by the fires, from kangaroos and koalas to wombats and wallabies.

Now this got my mind to perking. Knitting is taking a single strand of yarn and looping it, with the various stitches, which meld together to create something warm and cosy. Sewing is taking two pieces of fabric and gently massaging them into place and joining them with strong stitches to make something functional, beautiful or useful. Carpentry is taking wood and with the use of a nail gun or screws, putting it all together to create something solid and large. All of these modalities are joining something to make something bigger, stronger, cosier, more colourful.

Which reminded me that we are all joined. It’s in sharing our gifts (as people are doing for the animals) that we become part of the whole. It’s the willingness to be vulnerable and open about the joys and challenges that one is experiencing, because in the sharing it allows others to speak to their experiences. It’s offering a hand, no matter how busy we are, or being willing to ask for a hand when we really need it. It’s the breathing into the space that as I take a breath and look up at the moon, someone somewhere else is doing the same thing. We are stronger together and as a community.

So with that thought burbling in my mind when I went to the cards and asked who wanted to guide this week I burst out laughing when I saw. The Earth Warriors Oracle were adamant, there was no competition! Now if these guides are new to you, please let me introduce you:-

There is a river flowing now very fast. It is so great and swift that there are those who will be afraid. They will try to hold on to the shore. They will feel they are torn apart and will suffer greatly. Know the river has its destination. The elders say we must let go of the shore, push off into the middle of the river, keep our eyes open, and our heads above water. And I say, see who is in there with you and celebrate. At this time in history, we are to take nothing personally, least of all ourselves. For the moment that we do, our spiritual growth and journey comes to a halt. The time for the lone wolf is over. Gather yourselves! Banish the word “struggle” from your attitude and your vocabulary. All that we do now must be done in a sacred manner and in celebration. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.”

Positively perfect for the energy this week. The crystals that wiggled and jiggled are:- Moonstone, Citrine and Moonstone! Oh yes, and glorious peacock feathers that I was gifted this week!

So let’s take a moment to just settle, just BE and please gift yourself with a moment of space. With the idea of connection and community floating in your mind, breathe into that space, allowing it to gently unfurl like an opening rose. Just BE and Breathe. Then when you are ready, pick the card or cards that resonate for you.

Did you remember to pick?

Shall we go have a look?

IXCHEL

Medicine of the Rainbow Jaquar.

Ixchel protects you now, as you transition from one life phase to the next. With her rainbow light, this guardian goddess instructs you on how to use great power with wisdom, to nourish only what is worthy. Using Jaguar medicine, with perfect timing, she confronts that which is unworthy of her devotion, eradicating destructive forces and creating space for healing relief and rebirth. Her presence is the wild power of the jaguar, the renewal promise of the rainbow and divine feminine creativity. All darkness shall be overcome.

You are going through a transition. Cultivate hope and stay true to your intentions. Let nothing divert you from your true path. If you have a new project, vision or lifestyle that you are seeking to bring into the world, Ixchel is guiding and guarding you for a healthy birth.

It is important that you cut off negative sources completely at this time and do not allow yourself to be used or exploited. This is not the time to indulge someone else’s ego or go against your own inner knowing in order to give someone the benefit of the doubt. Trust your instincts and break immediately from what isn’t right for you. This will bring you new opportunities and situations that are worthy of your passionate devotion.

CH’ASKA

Time to Cross the Threshold.

A threshold appears, bringing an ending so complete that it is no longer possible to return to what has been. The light of the stars is your faithful guide into this new world. As you trust in your divine connection, deconstructed forms shall reshape themselves into relevant, helpful and beautiful new ways of living, thriving and expressing your true self.

Trust in your strangest ideas, in that which is different, inspired or unconventional. This crossing is healing furthers the activation of your divine potential.

Change is afoot. You won’t feel in control of the process. Trust in what is new, different or exciting to you. Don’t assume that unless all things happen easily, then you must be on the wrong path. You are on the correct path, even if the birthing pains to fulfil it are challenging.

You are guided to reject societal norms about how you are supposed to live or what sort of things you are supposed to value. Instead, trust your own values and believe in the truths that you feel within your own heart. In time the world will be ready to recognise and benefit from your spiritual growth. The Universe is helping you in all ways, including through correct timing. At the right moment, you will leave the past behind you and enter into the fullness of the present moment, opening up to the brightness of your future.

KANYINI

In Each Other We Find Ourselves

There is a spiritual purpose that only you can fulfil. As you move forward on your journey, you create space for others to move along behind you, and as the ones ahead of you move forward, so too does room open up for your expansion.

Upon this earth we are all building the sacred temple, each fulfilling our tasks as we assist and support each other in our collective divine mission. How can you help with your heart most actively engages? What can you offer which inspires and energises you so much that others are uplifted in your presence? How can you receive from others joyfully, bringing them pleasure? Engage in giving and receiving deeply and with devotion. Your wisdom and openness to life generates healing for our Earth.

Healing is indicated, especially of wounds about connection and trust, safety and tribe, belonging and permission to be a unique individual. At a physical level, more vitality is indicated, and ample energy for healing.

At a spiritual level, a deepening awareness of unified consciousness is opening up within you which will bring you into deeper divine communion and increase your effectiveness as a healing presence and sacred activist in this world. You have a destiny to fulfil, and there will be much help from many different people to fulfil it. The Universe wants you to succeed. Do not hesitate to ask and receive assistance, for your fulfilment of your own mission helps others.

Oh my gosh, what perfect messages to resonate with “We are all part of the whole. We are the ones we have been waiting for!” Thus delicious lovely I wish for you a week of connection, support and knowing that you are precious and important. You are here to share yourself, all aspects of yourself. Sending you massive hugs and squeezes and I just want to say – I so appreciate you.

Twas the Night Before, the Night Before Xmas and Eclipse Season Approacheth!

Jenny Heston · 1:01 am ·

Happy Magickal, Manic, Merry, Melodic, Manifesting Monday! How are you delicious lovely? How was your Solstice? Thank you to all of you who shared with me the ritual(s) that you chose to do from B.O.W.S., I really loved hearing about them!

I will say I had one of the most amazing Winter Solstice days I have ever had. It was interesting, as I chose to practice solo (which is not the norm) and the whole day became a living prayer and a full blown ritual. As a lot of you know when my sister was diagnosed with colon cancer, everyday I would go to the beach, pick up a rock offer up a prayer and a blessing and bring the rock home and put it in a bowl. After she passed at the end of July I had a huge bowl of rocks filled with blessings and love – but what to do with them? As I was unsure and I certainly didn’t want to just dump them, I packed them up in a large box and put them in the back of the closet.

Then I realised I needed to create a space, or a container for them – but I had no clue what that would look like. Then all of a sudden a little while ago I received amazing guidance from Spirit and knew what I had to do (keep in mind I had no clue how to do it!). So I built a gorgeous driftwood tree, why driftwood? Because driftwood has been tumbled, rolled, tossed about by the ocean and with all the pounding just gets stronger and stronger. Friends moved a large rock into the center of my circle garden and I created my tree and then bolted it to the rock. I made the roots cascade down and encircle the rock, holding, loving and strong. Then around the base I put all the stones I had gathered for my sister, as well as all the angel feathers that came to me daily when I was at the Hospice with her. I then rolled little wee pinecones, that I had gathered and dried, in almond butter and then seeds as she loved watching the birds come into her garden and I decorated the gorgeous “Tree of Life” with gifts for the birds. Last but not least I twined little white lights through the driftwood branches, so that day or night it is a reminder.

I was so blown away with how it came out and when I lit it up last night, after welcoming in the dark and smudging my home, my heart frigging soared! I sat outside for quite a while just gazing at it and thanking Spirit for the guidance and grinned like a large, plump Cheshire Cat. My whole day had been a living prayer and it was incredible!

Thus, I highly recommend allowing yourself to be guided by Spirit. To have the trust, faith and belief that you may not know the path or the hows, but it all unfolds in a gentle leading, nurturing and expansion.

So here we are the Monday just before Xmas and the start of Eclipse season!

On December 25/26th we experience a Partial Solar Eclipse of the New Moon in Capricorn.

Now if you remember an eclipse can generate an awareness of something larger, running the show and they poke holes in our ego/identity revealing things within us that we have been avoiding or are totally unaware of.

As Forever Conscious shares:- On a Solar Eclipse, a new doorway is opened that helps to push and advance us further on our soul path. Under the energy of the December Solar Eclipse, we are going to be shown a new path. A new way is going to unfold. This new way may appear subtle at first. Perhaps it will begin as a new thought or a new feeling, and then slowly it will shift into taking a new action.

It’s almost like this Eclipse opens a new stream of energy which we can take and download into our lives.How we download it is up to us and where we are on our journey, but all of us are going to be changed, all of us are going to be awakened in some way.

The energy surrounding this Solar Eclipse is abundant and expansive. There are opportunities here to really plant seeds that will turn into the tallest, most luscious trees.

Now with this being a partial Solar Eclipse the energy of this time lasts for 6 months. Be sure to open yourself and welcome in the shifting, awakening energies this Eclipse brings. 2020 promises something different than the years before, and the doorway to this new wave of energy starts under this December Solar Eclipse.

This is a glorious energy to use to start playing with your WOTY! (Word of the Year). My invitation to you is to spend the next week and a half doing some homework (don’t worry you don’t need to buy funky notebooks and multi coloured pens – unless you want to). Take time and really play with the energy and ask yourself “What do I want more of this year?” Now I’m not talking about – “I want more diamonds”, “I want a shed ton more money”, instead go under those and look at the emotion, the feeling state, the state of BEING and play with asking what you want more of and then when I’m back in the New Year (and New Decade) we will unpack WOTY, okay?

Now that I have rambled on and on, let’s go to the reading (lol, some of you may have already done that and skipped the ramble). When I asked the cards who wanted to come and be your guides I was thrilled to see the Blessed Be guides were most adamant. This is a different type of deck, there aren’t guides per se, but there are – if that makes sense. Please let me introduce you to Blessed Be as these guides are new to you and relatively new to me, allow me to introduce them. “May these cards and guides offer you ways to enter into deeper appreciation of your life and its manifold blessings. May you have hope, understanding and kindness. And most of all, may you know deep within your soul, that thou art blessed.”

Ahhhh, perfect guides for us right now! The crystals that wiggled and jiggled to show and shine are Jade – is a symbol of serenity and purity. It signifies wisdom gathered in tranquility. It increases love and nurturing. A protective stone. Apatite – is a dual-action stone, known for its positive use of personal power to achieve goals. It clears away confusion, apathy or negativity, then, stimulates the intellect to expand knowledge and truth, which may be used for personal growth or for the collective good. Last but not least – Rhyolite – is all about self-love, its radiant energy infusing your spirit with pure joy, like an antidepressant but without any side effects! Oh yes and Selenite for amplification and the glorious little throat feathers from the peacocks that wander around here came to join!

Settle in sweetie. Just breathe yourself back into your body. Let the hurly burly of the day just drop off like raindrops into a puddle. Breathe. Be here now, just at this moment. I invite you to see in your mind’s eye the Divine Mother (whatever she looks like to you), breathe. Then imagine her putting one hand on your feet and one hand on your head and saying “Everything between my two hands is beloved and blessed by the Goddess.”Breathe that blessing in, allow it to swirl through you and know how loved you are. Then when you’re ready; pick the card or cards that wish to bless and support you this week.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a little look see, shall we?

A BLESSING FOR SOLACE AND HOPE

This is a blessing for solace, the comfort that comes in the form of good fortune, strange little moments that bring you back to the sense that the Universe is a place where you are cared for, considered and important, and that this solace bring you hope for the future, and anticipation of the fair things that life will continue to bring you.

Solace is the balm and the antidote to the wounds that life can deliver. It is not personal, for being here is a great gift, and we live in times where, in many ways, we are safer than we have ever been before. But we are fed a diet of hopelessness from our cultures and media sources, until we become overwhelmed with the troubles that seem to surround us. This blessing is for you to find your way back to sweetness. For the flower in bud to release its sweetness, for you to notice the shimmer of light upon water, the sheer pleasure of movement, the ease of a mind no longer racing over problems to be solved, but soft, intelligent, allowing the calm of life to steal back in to your soul.

This is the solace that keeps our hopes alive, the gift of good fortune that reawakens the candle of optimism that is within us, and the delight in the sheer whimsy of being here, and being alive. It is the understanding that there may be little control, but we are no mere pawns in this life – we have our place in the world, and simply with our breathing in and out, we matter, and we are doing enough.

To find solace is to find peaceful moments, small connections, to notice the thousand gifts life has conferred upon us, and it is to again invoke the divinity of existence, without the fear of the future. Let hope give you lightness, draw away the pain, and open you up again to the possibilities, until you begin once again to relish the simple voluptuous truth of being alive.

BLESSED BE.

A BLESSING ON YOUR DAY

“A blessing to bring awareness, to shape and set the energy of the day, and to frame it with light and the possibilities of healing, adventure and gratitude. “

May your soul feel called by the song of the day. May this day be gentle and good, clear and sure, filled with grace and gentle reminders of your own divinity. May the people you meet this day show generosity of spirit, be hospitable and welcoming, and open and candid in all their dealings. May the sky be filled with blue and white, may the green beneath your feet be solid and soft to walk upon. May the rain fall soft and nourishing, and trees whisper to you the secrets that you need to know.

May any challenges you encounter find an answering strength and courage within you, and when you come to your rest this night, may you remember the many blessings this day held, and account for them with the Gods, and be thankful for each of them, no matter how small.

BLESSED BE

A BLESSING ON YOUR SLEEP

“A blessing for a deep and peaceful sleep, full of wondrous dreams and long hours where the body and brain can focus entirely upon their rest and healing.”

May you find the blessing of deep, good sleep. May it come to you easily, and when your head touches the pillow, and your body stretches out in luxurious freedom, may you begin to drift immediately between the world of the waking and the world of the dreamer. May the slumber that comes be deep, so that all the extraneous sounds about you melt away, and there is only you, and the otherworld we can inhabit when we sleep, an otherlife, where we dream and explore the wonders of lands that will only ever exist within these visions.

May these dreams bring you food for rich thought in the days to come, wisdom to explore, insights in you own consciousness and being, and beauty beyond the waking imagination. May the body take its nourishment from this gorgeous rest, may the bones strengthen and knit, the mind lose its worries and anxieties, and may whatever has troubled you in the waking hours be released for at least a time, as you enter entirely into this realm inhabited by the wonders of your own deeper self.

BLESSED BE

Ahhh, such lovely blessings and I hope you really take the time to breathe them in and let them become part of you. Wishing you an amazing holiday season. May it be filled with kindness, love, peace, ease and flow. May you always remember that you are precious and important and may you shine your light to remind others of the same. Please practice self care and nourish yourself! I am taking until January 6th off to replenish, relax, rejuvenate and reflect. Thus, let me share a song we end each Kundalini session with.

May the long time sun shine upon you,

All love surround you,

And the pure light within you,

Guide your way on.

Big Blessings, Huge Hugs and Squeezes and see you in 2020.

Winter Solstice is only 5 days away! A Gift, and My Virginal Experience.

Jenny Heston · 1:00 am ·

Happy Merry, Majestic, Magickal, Magnificent, Marvelous Monday! How are you? How was the last Full Moon of the decade for you? I found it deliciously delightfully demanding! Lol. However, the night sky was so clear that you could see her in all her glory which was amazing, and I love seeing the rings around her which means it’s going to be a cold night and frost on the ground in the morning! Which there certainly was the next morning.

The other day, as I was driving, the radio was counting down how many shopping days until Xmas, have to say that really irritated me. This can be such a stressful season for so many people with all the concerts, social activities, kids activities, expectations, loss, feeling alone and the frenetic shop, shop, shop. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not being a bah-humbug but I don’t think people need to be made to feel they are on a tight timeline and not keeping up. Also, why not say “It’s only 5 days until Yule!” I have a fabulous Wicca Calendar app on my phone that is counting down the days, hours and minutes to Winter Solstice (aka as Yule).

Here in the Northern Hemisphere we are celebrating Yule (in the Southern Hemisphere you are celebrating Litha). Okay, why do I love this celebration so much? For so many reasons! It’s the longest night and the shortest day, we are welcoming back the sun, it’s the beginning of Winter, it’s the walk into the warm welcoming darkness, that we all tend to avoid. It’s part of my heritage and even if I tried to ignore it my body would remind me. Winter Solstice celebrates the longest hours of darkness or the rebirth of the sun and is believed to hold a powerful energy for regeneration, renewal and self-reflection. (And look, no frenetic shopping involved lol). Also, if we look at Christmas, many of the pieces that we celebrate came from Yule.

I could write pages and pages about Yule/Winter Solstice, how to celebrate, rituals, spells etc. But then this post would be about 30 pages long. So instead; for you gorgeous ones who are part of our community and on our email list I would like to gift you with B.O.W.S – Book of Winter Solstice. Now for those of you in the Southern Hemisphere there will be a gift of B.O.S.S – Book of Summer Solstice. Links to these will be sent out on Friday the 20th. So if this is something that interests you, make sure you are on the email list (super easy, there is a sign up box.)

Oh yes, there will be two glorious guided visualisations, one for the North and one for the South.

So the other day I had a “Virginal Experience” (tricky to do when you have 5 kids!) As I’ve yomped with Danu the therapy dog, I have noticed that here, in this city, people dress their dogs up. Some people do it for the day to day, which I totally don’t comprehend as I have a tough enough time getting out the door without having to dress a dog! However, lots of people have fun Christmas things for their dogs. Hmmmmm. After watching this for a week I began to feel like a bad dog human. Were other dogs judging Danu? Did I care? Were other humans judging me? Did I care? No was the emphatic answer, but……… Now keep in mind, I have had a dog for 30 years and I have never, ever, ever – until now – dressed them. I love them, but they are a dog. However, I will say I succumbed. Thus, I went to various pet stores and looked at all the ridiculous Santa jumpers, Mrs. Claus outfits, things that looked like pyjamas and sooooo couldn’t get behind any of them. So, I popped into the last place, walked through the “doggy clothing aisle” (who knew there was such a thing) and just as I was about to walk out the door there was a flash of green and gold. Hmmmm. I went and checked it out and it was the most funky, cool, fun Elf coat! Yup. I bought it, I am no longer a dog garb Virgin! I then went and dug out my bell bedecked elf hat and Danu and I went for a walk in our garb.

As we did, it was interesting to watch responses – so many people smiled and laughed, small kids wanted to pet and snuggle the elf dog. So my reasoning is, if it makes people smile and feel good I can do this until Xmas (possibly). Though when someone said today – “You are such lovely Elves”. My response was “Depends on the day. Some days I am on the Elf on the Shelf, other times, A Troll on a Stroll, A Gnome in Your Home, A Faery in the Dairy, A Dwarf on the Wharf, now if I could only find something that rhymes with Ogre!” If you have any suggestions, please let me know!

So there we go my lovelies, daft as it may be.

Oh yes, many of you have asked if there is going to be a Solstice special on Private Readings. I have pondered and perked this and yes, for the Wheel of the Year Reading. This reading is offered rarely, however, I am willing to open up 10 spots and offer at a huge discount. This offer will be in place from now until Xmas Eve only, and as I take from the 23rd to January 6th off, the readings will be delivered after that time. So if you are interested, I highly suggest you snap it up now. After all, we are entering a glorious new decade!

Okay, let’s crack on with the reading.

When I asked the cards who would like to guide this week just prior to Winter Solstice, I was delighted to see the “Lightworker Oracle” were adamant. The perfect guides for this celebration and a welcoming of 2020. Now if these guides are new to you, it would be rude not to introduce them:- This deck is for lightworkers and what I mean by that is old souls. They have an interest in being of service. They want to live a life of passion and purpose and have their life mean something at a spiritual level. They care about causes that stir their hearts. They are often the black sheep of their family. Does this sound like you? I know it does for me.

The crystals that wanted to show and shine are:- Stilbite – expands consciousness, helps organise confusion of the mind, encouraging one to take charge of life by committing to a direction. Labradorite – creates a force field throughout the aura, protecting and strengthening the energies within and preventing others from ‘tapping in’ and draining you. Smoky Quartz – grounding, absorbs and transmutes negativity by grounding it in the earth where it neutralises.

Ready? Okay, breathe for a moment or two, nice long slow deep breaths. Breathing as easy as Receiving the guidance that wants to support you, fill you up, inspire you. Breathe. Receive. Allow. As you breathe this way allow the day to day dross to drop to the floor and feel yourself being filled up with gorgeous light that twines with your light. Supporting, nourishing, replenishing. When you are ready, pick the card or cards that invite you to be seen.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a look.

UNPLUG FROM MASS CONSCIOUSNESS

There is a belief system based on fear, doubt and distrust this is known as “mass consciousness”. It says it is safer to stay with the crowd, not to question what you have been taught. It says you can’t trust the Divine to take care of your financial well being or your emotional needs. It says you should be afraid and not take risks. Its says that if you dare to stand up and live your truth, you’ll be lost and alone, humiliated, rejected or even destroyed.

You are being guided to unplug from that systems of beliefs. You are capable of a more creative, loving and soul-satisfying way of living. To access this, let go of the way that is too small for your soul!

You are brave and aware enough to think outside the box, beyond what society or your peers may consider ‘normal’. You are supposed to be questioning things right now. You are in a transition from one way of thinking to another, opening up to a new world which you can trust enough to live with peace and happiness because of the upgraded new beliefs you are cultivating.

No matter how others may resist or criticise your choices (perhaps your new ideas take you away from the world they feel comfortable in), your higher guidance encourages you to keep opening your mind to a more loving, higher reality.

Sometimes breaking from the accepted norm, doing things differently or being considered weird to family, colleagues and friends is a sign that you are breaking away from the consciousness of the masses, which is not compatible with your own higher frequency consciousness.

So keep unplugging yourself, one layer, thought, word and deed at a time, from that which the mass consciousness would have you buy into – more stuff, more fear, more competition, more doubt and more suffering. You can challenge any thoughts you don’t want to have. Free yourself. You have the power to change your world and the world we live in as a result, on liberating thought at a time.

ORBS OF LIGHT

The spiritual worlds are delivering a message to you. You may have already heard it, through telepathic reception, and mistaken it for your own thought. Yet it is inspired by your higher guidance, those spiritual beings that love you without condition. It is an answer to a question and guidance to increase your happiness.

It is possible to pray without realising it. The Universe is lovingly listening to every thought and feeling in your heart and mind. When you intentionally speak to the Universe and ask your higher guidance to help you with an issue, this is a powerful way to call the light into your life. It works. Often quite rapidly! However, sometimes we ask for help without being so aware of doing so. Worrying about an issue or pondering a question are ways this happens.

There are orbs of light around you. They are spiritual beings that love you. These orbs contain information and energies that help answer questions – and worries – through the intelligence and love of the higher spiritual worlds. That information might come through a song, a phrase, a feeling or a colour or symbol that unlocks awareness in the deeper recesses of your mind and body.

To access the information of these orbs of light, to be open to seeing them more clearly, whether directly with your own energetic vision through clairvoyance, or through photographs or other means, do so.

Unconditional loving orbs are available to you at every moment, open your heart and invite them in.

DIVINE TALENTS

You are a talented soul. Over many lifetimes, you have developed your spiritual abilities to channel higher awareness, attract healing energy and radiate light to uplift the consciousness of those around you. Your divine talents are many, and uniquely expressed through you. Your talents do not have to resemble those of another to have their own inestimable value. Do not be afraid to use them!

Divine talents are a way in which the Universe reminds us of what we are here to do. Divine talents are unlimited. They include the ability to channel spiritual guidance and healing energy, to perceive clairvoyantly, and be psychic and empathic. Other spiritual talents include writing, performing, sound healing, dancing to awaken awareness, creating art, photography, or divinely inspired tools and jewelry. Cooking food that heals body and spirit is a spiritual talent, as are the abilities to bring people together, to offer comforting and inspiring words at the right time, to help others overcome fear and feel more at peace in moments of importance and more.

Do you acknowledge your talents, yourself? Believe in yourself, your abilities and in your capacity to use those talents in a constructive, healing way? Keep developing your talents until your own unique expression comes to life. Don’t give up in the early and possibly awkward stages, dismissing your abilities as less than those of another. Trust that there is something very real and worthwhile in you. Do not dismiss or diminish your potential. Treat yourself as an investment worthy of development!

Give yourself a chance – enough time, attention and practice to discover what you are really capable of. The Universe knows! Soon, you shall too.

PS: Do what makes you happy, to chase your sacred bliss and express yourself in the world via the unique and special abilities that the Divine has bestowed upon you. When you follow what you love, you are on your life path, and you shall succeed beloved.

Woosah delicious lovely! As the energy builds to Solstice and Xmas I wish for you ease, effortlessness and flow. Remember to take some time out to breathe and be good to yourself! If you want to receive either the B.O.W.S or B.O.S.S make sure you are on the email list. If you want to take advantage of the Wheel of the Year reading as we enter into 2020, there are only 10 spots available. Next week we are going to explore WOTY and some other cool pieces (like the partial eclipse). Sending you huge hugs, squeezes and big mugs of something warm to drink!

Free Weekly Reading

The energy surrounding this Solar Eclipse is abundant and expansive. There are opportunities here to really plant seeds that will turn into the tallest, most luscious trees.
