The Codes of the Seeds

THE CODES OF THE SEEDS

Seeds must be buried in the darkness before they can bloom into the light.

Seeds cannot even begin to bloom without embracing the fertile void of the winter soil.

Seeds cannot flower without first outgrowing the constraints of the bud.

Seeds cannot bear fruit without releasing their beauty to the earth and letting go of the very thing that captivated others to them.

Seeds come in knowing exactly what to do. Within them they hold the potential of entire forests and rose gardens.

Seeds have within them an intelligent timing that is connected with the intelligence of the entire cosmos.

We are all seeds.

Future forests and gardens waiting to be born.

Each of us holding the codes of a new yet ancient humanity within us.

Change is our natural state.

Imbolc, Full Moon and a Glorious Free Gift for You.

Jenny Heston · 2:22 pm ·

Happy Magickal, Merry, Mystical, Marvellous, Magnanimous, Manifesting Monday!

How are you gorgeous one? How are you feeling?

I have just recovered from “the plague” that my housemate very kindly brought back from Utah and ran rampant through my home taking out everyone! Including my daughter who was here visiting for 2 weeks and her fabulous 4 month old baby. (Which made me uber, uber bitchy!)

So grumpy, fed up, tired and bitchy has been the energy of everyone for the last 10 days! Then to add insult to injury a major gas line was ruptured so we were without heat for 2 days! Thank goodness for a hot water bottle, a kettle and cups of tea.

So let’s explore the energies of this mid winter time, Imbolc and the Full Moon and I have a glorious free gift to support you at this time. If you read on, you will understand why I created her for you.

Interestingly enough, when working with seasonal energies this heavy, fed up, bitchy energy is right on cue for this time of year. Imbolc is on Wednesday and marks the spot of mid-winter.

The mid place between Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox. This time of year can feel rather heavy, grey and drab in many ways, but………

We had all the celebrations at the end of December and the start of January, and there is a sense of “now what?” Some are fretting about how they are going to realise the goals they set at New Year, others are still perking their path and others are just tired, bone tired!

However, we’re starting to notice the days are getting a bit longer, there might be some tiny little shoots beginning to sprout above the surface. Have to say, all of my snowdrops are out in full force, which makes me smile with their little white bobbing heads.

There is a sense of hope & anticipation, that new life will arrive soon. And, there’s also a heaviness to it.

Why?

At Imbolc, we’re beginning to really realise, something is shifting in our lives.

Imbolc itself means “quickening in the belly”. There is something shifting and changing.

We are beginning to root a bit more into this year of 2023 with its delicious 7 energy and we are expanding in some way. (Whether you can see it or not – can’t you feel it, though?) And there is a lot of resistance that comes with big expansion.

There’s a whole lot of forces (internal and external) that want to keep you small. It’s scary to level up in your life – and there are really strong parts of us that don’t like that.

But this is the work of winter: Winter is where you integrate all your experiences from last year & it alchemizes into new life, new growth, new parts of you that will emerge in the weeks & months ahead.

Right now there’s a stretching & growing happening deep within you. (Even if you can’t see it, it’s there!) And that can be deeply uncomfortable. Depending on the shifts you’re making in your life, the resistance can be intense.

And it creates a conflict within you. This is where the question arises: do you have the strength & the courage to push through that resistance, to whatever’s on the other side? Or do you give in & lean back on old ways of operating?

This is the challenge and invitation at Imbolc.

If things feel hard for you right now, trust it’s because you are EXPANDING. You’re doing big work in your life (even if you can’t see it, yet) and you’re going to feel resistance to that.

At Imbolc, this is when the seeds of your life are planted….

So remember to take sweet, gentle care of yourself right now. Nurture yourself, nourish your spirit. And REST, sweet one. Just rest. We are still in winter. This is your most important work.

So to help you with your work I have a free gift for you!

This is the Fabulous Imbolc guide, which I nicknamed Fi after my glorious big sister who hated winter! Yet come the snowdrops and the Leo Full Moon and her energy would perk up and she could feel the growth stirring underground, the change and the hope.

The Full Moon in Leo arrives on Sunday February 5th. This delicious Full Moon has some lovely sparkly energy to balance any heaviness you are feeling. This Full Moon is also called the Snow Moon and its spiritual meaning folds in with Imbolc. This moon is full of change and transition, it represents change, hope and growth.

Remember, growth during the Snow Moon isn’t always comfortable or easy. Figure out ways you can relax and surrender to this transitional season. How can you clear out the unnecessary to make room for the meaningful?

During this time, we start to move past the goal-setting stage and into the realistic planning stages. How are you going to make your intentions come to fruition?

Direct your magical intentions on rituals this month focused on new habits, goals, and plans for the future.

Take some time to really focus and be present. Contemplate your personal and spiritual intentions. This is a truly magical time, full of beautiful energy and momentum! These are the days the Full Snow Moon rises.

Do you see the folding now?

So my darlings with Imbolc just around the corner and the glorious Full Moon to back it up, when I went to the cards I grinned a huge grin as the gorgeous guides of The Faery Forest Oracle were adamant to join! Now if these are new guides for you, please let me introduce them as it would be rude not to!

“Let us enter the wild green world together, friend, the faery forests where the great trees speak with us, the moss soft underfoot, the light pure and gentle. The homes of the once Sacred groves of the Celts, the Saxons, and the Vikings…and to the people who were here long before we had names with which to call them to us – the faerie people. May the wild green world and the wondrous beings of this Faery Forest heal us, inspire us and urge us all to become more who we truly are meant to be.”

I have created a guided visualisation for you to really see this energy that is flooding in you, around you, towards you and through you. If that doesn’t resonate then just Breathe. Breathe into your toe nails, breathe into the roots of your hair, breathe in all the promises, the blessings and opportunities and sigh your exhale out, letting go of anything that feels a tad sticky or tacky.

When you are ready, invite your inner wise knowing to pick the card or cards that call to you.

What whispers for you, what do you need to be aware of?

Did you remember to pick?

Take a breath and let’s go have a look!

THE TRICKSTER

Let me be a reminder to be true to yourself, to your own personal truths, to the code within your soul. Truly, at this time it is essential for you to let your conscience be your guide, and to live according to your own creed, with open eyes. Do not fool yourself into believing another person’s vision and ideas are more important than your own – question agendas, and be aware of people’s history. For at this time, there is one about you who is attempting to persuade you to their cause, to join them in what they see is a great task, but which in truth is simply a harnessing of your power to their agenda, which is not for your highest good.

All tricksters are charming and know exactly what to say to persuade you – but this is mere language. Their deeds will not match their words, and what you are agreeing to by joining with them will be a loss of your own personal dreams for the furthering of theirs. If you allow yourself to be coerced, cajoled, and manipulated at this time, it will weigh heavily on your very soul.

Be more wary than is natural for you at this time. Do not betray yourself, or ignore the warning signs, which are all about you. Do not foolishly give away your power, but exercise it, and weave a future that is truly the one you wish to create – one, which will provide you with honour, plenty, and the satisfaction of having been true to yourself.

FAERY GODMOTHER

When the Faery Godmother comes to you, be aware that this is a time when you will discover what has been long hidden to you – your true self will be revealed in surprising ways every day, and sudden moments of heightened perception will make this time especially significant for you.

People finally get found out, manipulators can be seen through, true costs of circumstances are revealed, and any lies about you will be seen. This can be hard, but it is truly a hardship that is born of protection – you are safer for knowing in whom you can trust in order to make the right choices for your soul.

Throughout these revelations and insights will be a guiding hand – and this is the Faery Godmother. She is showing you what it is you need to know in order to create and foster a life that works for you – and she is a protective force too.

So what you need will come to you, sometimes in strange ways. Be mindful of counting your blessings at this time – for this is the energy your Faery Godmother can draw upon to keep transforming your life into one which is more abundant, magickal, meaningful, and joyful.

Note every moment of truth – they are all significant, and you are better for discovering what was once hidden from you.

INITIATE

Your energy is unworldly, naive and unguarded – and you will therefore soon face tests which will help you acquire experience and wisdom. You have an inclination to take risks without thinking of where the road you wish to dart down will lead you, you have a tendency to say and do many things without thinking through the possible impact.

You speak the uncomfortable truth as no other can.

The lessons you are experiencing are filling your life with richness – you have so much trust and self-belief, but you are not prideful.

You are ready to take great chances, and others may even judge you as being about to take crazy risks. You may be contemplating leaving a safe job, about to travel, enter a new relationship wholeheartedly, or make a move in life without having examined all the consequences.

You are curious, enquiring, and open hearted.

You are inquisitive, but you are no fool. You are an initiate, and you will therefore take risks as you face the unknown.

Your next steps into the mystery of life will be blessed, and you have the courage to now enter the unknown.

Hmmm, breathe in, breathe out. I don’t know about you but the guides picked these to help you release the dark, the fear, the tight and scratchy and to really let you know about the light that surrounds you and is encouraging you to streeeeettttchh and grow, like the sprout coming from the glorious seed. Wishing you a glorious week of celebration, intention, activation and ease. Keep cosy, laugh tons and make soup! (Always a good thing). Huge hugs and squeezes and see you next week.

Solstice is Here! A time of Stillness, Rest and Reflection and I Have a Two Free Solstice Gifts for You!

Jenny Heston · 4:44 pm ·

Happy Magickal, Mystical, Marvellous, Magnificent, Majestic, Merry, Manic, Manifesting Monday!

Hello delicious lovely! How are you? I am sooooo looking forward to Solstice and I have two Solstice gifts for you, which you will discover as you read and I want to wish you an amazing holiday season – however you celebrate and to say thank you. Thank you for being here, thank you for all your lovely emails and messages. Thank you for being you and sharing with me.

Solstice arrives on Wednesday the 21st and I am thrilled, as not only is it Solstice, it’s my youngests birthday!

But what does the energy of Solstice bring to you?

At the Winter Solstice, when the world appears to stand still, it can serve as a moment out of time, an opportunity to reconnect with our own souls once again.

I found a beautiful quote years ago that really epitomises this energy.

“As the nights get longer, I find myself whispering dreams and knowings, letting them surface in the gentle dark. Things which can’t yet bear the light of day can find their way to the surface of my being where I can begin the tentative work of exploring and holding and breathing them in.”

There’s a very special stillness about the season we are entering. Even though everything appears dead & frozen in the outside world, a new cycle is beginning. You can sense there is magic brewing deep down in the dark.

Winter is like being in the chrysalis stage in the evolution of the butterfly. It’s the time when the caterpillar is wrapped up quietly, in the dark of her cocoon. To the outside world it doesn’t look like anything is happening. (And this is one of the most challenging things about embracing rest: to the outside world it doesn’t look like anything is happening. Our brains scream at us, telling us “you’re not doing anything. You’re wasting your time.”)

But actually, deep in the dark, a quiet transformation is happening: the caterpillar is evolving into a magnificent butterfly.

This is the same transformation your spirit, and all of nature, is undergoing this season. To the outside world life is still & quiet, there’s no movement. You don’t see anything meaningful happening.

But in the darkness, hidden deep inside, a powerful transformation is occurring. You are evolving into a whole new place in your life.

It’s a time of Dreaming.

Dreaming up the dreams of everything that will grow in your life this year. Dreaming up new plans, new ideas, new ways of being that will blossom & grow, and become bountiful harvests in the year ahead. The dreams of everything to come this year are being sparked in your winter’s rest.

Winter is the season when things are revealed by turning deep within yourself. Embracing the quiet & the darkness – recognizing that you don’t need to do anything for the magic to unfold.

This is the season of receiving.

Are you willing to receive?

The first gift I have for you is the delightful story of the Yuletide Faeries, a wonderful story to read as an adult, share with children or grandchildren.

The second gift I have for you is a 20 minute guided visualisation called Winter Solstice – Heart Weaving. This lovely guided visualisation walks you into the warm dark, and you are going to meet some amazing guides and allies. Come dance with archetypes, myth, healing and shamanic transformation. And start dreaming into the space to weave something new.

And of course the delicious B.O.W.S (Book of Winter Solstice) is available to you as well.

Let’s crack on with the reading. When I went to the cards and asked who wanted to share this week I nearly cried. What perfect guides for this time. Blessed Be. Please let me introduce you to Blessed Be as these guides may be new to you. “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.”

Oh my gosh, positively perfect.

Did you remember to pick?

Shall we go look?

A BLESSING FOR PEACE OF MIND

A blessing to help soothe the mind at storm with itself, and bring about calm and peace once again.

When you awaken, and trouble is sitting there, with you, right on your shoulder, speaking to you of all you must fret and be fearful of, let this blessing come to you, and be felt truly in your mind, where the turbulence has reigned for too long now.

Let the quiet of the natural day steal in, let the soft call of your spirit whisper to you that you have worried too long, and that it is time to set down your burden and let the angels and spirit beings deal with what cannot be unravelled by the labyrinth of thought.

Let it go, and let it be, for it is not for you to do what others will not, cannot, or remain ignorant of. It is for you now, to care for you. Let peace, that quiet blessing, softly take up residence in your mind, and speak calming words to you, soothing every objection your mind at war with the world creates.

Let the nurturing of the Mother, the planet herself, who loves you so and cares so much for you, take hold, and take root within your mind. Let yourself do only what must be done this day, and be very kind and very gentle all this time with yourself.

Speak softly, remove yourself from anything that provokes the disquiet unnecessarily, and calm yourself through the taking of moments to soothe yourself. Let your mind release, one by one, those terrible thoughts that have tortured you. Let your body relax, and move, and in the movement free yourself from the stress and tension. Let the idea of being at war with the world, isolated and alone, go, and for a time, seek out only those who show kindness and sensitivity to you.

Be patient with yourself, and in this patience, let the blessing of deep peace be yours.

BLESSED BE

A BLESSING TO FIND YOUR WAY

A blessing for when we find ourselves lost and unsure of which way to go.

Whichever direction we turn in seems as dense and dark as the other. There is no one to show us the way. There is no light with which to see the path. There is no map for where you find yourself. When we find ourselves in that space where we are utterly bereft of where to turn, of what to do, of whom to trust, let this blessing help you find your way once again.

You once knew where you were headed. You once knew who you were. You once could trust in that inner compass that would help you turn and walk to the true north of your life.

May you surrender to this moment, and let yourself be still and quiet a while. May you seek not to move, but to observe, and to feel, and to come back into connection with yourself.

May you feel the reweaving of yourself with yourself, and as you do this, may you be blessed with the sight to pierce the darkness and see what lies ahead. When that moment comes, may you begin to feel your compass stir, and turn, and point to a path. May you begin to rediscover who you are, and in that rediscovery come a knowing of what the person you are must do next.

May a sense of relaxed and graceful certainty begin to deliver you from this period of vulnerability, yet let the gifts of understanding and compassion, of the inner knowing which can unite us all, be with you always.

Allow your core to speak to you again. For its voice was dulled by the noise of the world, and the apparent certainty of knowing who we are. When we lose that, we can finally have the moment in which we can see the soul, clearly, without bias and cliche.

We find ourselves, through the loss of who we thought we were, and where we thought we ought to go. May this process bring the re-enrichment blessing of your own self.

BLESSED BE

A BLESSING OF THE EARTH

A blessing for connection with the land, for strong bodies and bones, for blood that flows bright red with energy, for grain to harvest and good food upon your table.

May you be blessed by the element of earth. May your body possess vigour and vitality, and may you feel the natural world alive within your own skin and bones. May your home grow up out of the earth and be solid upon it, and may the land upon which it rests offer its energy of solidity, strength and endurance to you for many years to come.

May the food upon your table overflow with nwyfre – the vital force of all things that truly have life-force, and may you share this food with those who bring to you great joy in being alive in this form this lifetime.

May your eyes shine and see, your legs walk straight upon the earth, and your feet go softly upon the path you tread.

May all the beauty and wildness and strength of Nature find expression through your life and your connection to the earth, and may the great mother of us all, the land, from whom you born and to whose womb you will return, offer you nourishment and strength all the days of this life.

May the ancestors within the earth send forth their wisdom to you, guide you, comfort you and encircle you with your soul family in times of trouble. When times are good, remember them, for they have been with you always.

May you feel the love of the earth, may you feel its protection, its nourishment, its comfort and finally, when you rest again within her arms, may she rebirth you gently into the next lifetime, ready to enjoy her pleasures more deeply.

BLESSED BE

Ahhh, my heart is filled with joy as I see the cards my guides picked. Wishing you an amazing holiday season. Please help yourself to the free gifts and there are 2 spots left for Opening the Doors on 2023. I am going to spend time being like a caterpillar in a cocoon and relax, rest, read and play. See you in January. Big hugs and big love. I hope your holiday season is filled with ease, rest and laughter. Thank you.

Slow Down, Pause, Set Boundaries, and Play!

Jenny Heston · 3:24 pm ·

Happy Magnificent, Maudlin, Majestical, Meretricious, Magikal, Manifesting Monday!

Hello gorgeous bean, did you make it through the Full Moon last week? It was quite an interesting one, wasn’t it? Many of you reached out saying it was heavy and asking how to manage it and I was delighted to hear that you played with ritual (involving a stone and water) and let that shit go!

So how are you feeling now? (And remember, I am “that” person who will talk about the Elephant in the room!)

This week has been most interesting, and as I write this I am sitting in my garden sanctuary with Danu lying at my feet, Kali sleeping in the faery garden and butterflies and dragonflies galore.

A friend from the UK called me up the other day to ask what we paid for petrol per gallon, and apparently the UK is paying almost double what Canada is. He went on to share how he felt the country was struggling (Boris Johnson – who I fondly refer to as the muppet – stepped down) so the UK is without a Prime Minister at the moment. Tad tricky.

Then he shared what was happening in the towns he worked in, the cost of groceries, how any news of the Ukraine war wasn’t really happening – etc. etc. etc. And basically how the energy was frenetic and he was feeling triggered, fragmented, angry and overwhelmed.

He wasn’t the only conversation of this kind I have had this last week, in fact I would say about 20 of them with clients. The sense of fear and structural instability is high and in turn is creating, yet again, huge judgements, divisiveness and a sense of confusion and overwhelm.

So how do you navigate this or deal with this so it doesn’t “lodge” with you?

Here are 4 easy and powerful steps. Ready?

First thing is to slow down and set boundaries. Recognise and name what is happening around you, but don’t get stuck in the story of it, or taken out by fear mongers. And always, always remember “You have no control over other people, places, situations or things.”

You can not take on the responsibility for everything around you (although your mind might try to convince you otherwise).

When you try to take responsibility for all the externalities, suck up the news as if it’s a soda you are in fact putting your nervous system into hyper mode.

By dropping into your heart space, setting healthy boundaries, allowing yourself to slow down, to say “no” more often, it will help you make better decisions, connect more deeply with the people who matter to you, and help you to enjoy more meaningful experiences. It also helps you to stop getting triggered. (Always a good thing).

The second thing is to appreciate we are still in the midst of a massive paradigm shift and it hasn’t finished (even if no one else around you talks about it). What this means is there is a gentle whisper, a call if you will, to step into a place where you share and shine your light, but remember, you have to fill your own well first to be able to do this.

Which leads to the third thing.

The third thing is to have a daily practice that gets you in touch with and nourishes your inner self, your inner power, your essence and soul. Now I know you may be rolling your eyes and saying – yeah, yeah Jenn, daily practice sounds like a great idea but I don’t have the time.

Bullshit.

Can you honestly tell me that you don’t have 10 minutes to sit outside in nature? 10 minutes to do some yoga whilst focusing on your heart space? 10 minutes to write a stream of consciousness and get all the shit out of your head? 10 minutes to pull a card in the morning and reflect on the energies to walk with?

Do you see where I’m going?

If you have 10 minutes to dive down the rabbit hole of social media, you have 10 minutes to strengthen your soul and connection.

I have a daily practice that is split into two, the first part happens the minute I’ve brushed my teeth and popped the kettle on first thing in the morning. The second part happens right before I’m climbing into bed.

And for me, these are NON NEGOTIABLE.

I don’t start my day until I have done my morning practice and I don’t go to sleep until I have done my evening one. Are they long? Heck no, as I’m not a supremely patient person. However, they are exceptionally powerful and they keep me grounded, whole, connected to my intuition and the divine and allow me to make better choices of where I spend my energy.

Last but not least, the fourth thing is to remember to Play! When we are in a state of play, whether it is having a kitchen dance party, blowing bubbles, skipping rocks or playing an instrument or anything else! We are in a state of flow, openness and creativity.

From that place comes an amazing connection to something bigger than yourself that wells up in your chest and brings you glorious joy, delight and trust. Who doesn’t need more of that?

So next time you’re cooking dinner, pop on some great music and dance your soxs off whilst singing into the end of a carrot that you are peeling! What have you got to lose?

Okay I have chuntered on enough, let’s crack on with the reading.

When I went to the cards to ask who would like to teach and guide this week I was tickled to see who came to join. Let me please introduce you to the Earth Warriors.

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. A new world is being born. It is founded upon love and higher consciousness, instead of fear, hate and greed. All that we do now must be done in a sacred manner and in celebration. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.“

Oh my Giddy Aunt! Frigging perfect, lol.

Okay delicious lovely, take a moment and breathe into your heart space. Take a glorious deep breath in through the nose and see your heart space lighting up and gently unfolding. Then as you exhale out your mouth with a sigh, see any burdens drop to the ground to become cosmic compost. Keep breathing this way for a minute and let your heart open more and more.

Then when you are ready, allow your heart to guide you to the card or cards that tickle the petals of your heart.

Did you remember to pick?

Come with me and let’s have a look shall we?

INTIKHANA

Child of the Light

There is a divine light that does not cast a shadow. Nor does it cast judgement, even though it reveals truth – a truth that is sometimes hard to acknowledge and requires that we change our ways.

True divine light is healing, it is unifying, it brings hope and illuminates the way. Other sorts of light exist on this planet that are not so pure, nor so helpful. Those sorts of light may appear stunningly bright, yet, in effect, create separation and increase ego.

You can recognise genuine divine presence not by how dazzling it may appear at first, but by what your devotion to that divine light evokes in your heart and your world.

Trust your feelings over appearances. Move away from influences that create fear, negativity or doubt in you. Reach out for that which uplifts your heart.

Refuse to be dazzled by ego masquerading as something spiritual.

Through your prayers and efforts, spiritual light has been accumulating on the inner planes, even though you may not sense that consciously as yet. There will be an intersection of events and circumstances in your physical world through which that light shall pour forth and manifest itself as grace.

There is something truly good to come of it.

In the Incan tradition, Inti is the physical sun and the spiritual presence inherent in the sun’s life giving energy. When we are faced with deep unknowing or dark depressing thoughts, welcome in the spiritual intervention of joyful light.

Open up to the joyful light of love and peace to fill your heart and your home. You have the power to call this in because you are acknowledged as a child of the light.

From that place of inner peace, luminous love and safe refuge, you can proceed with boldness, patience, wisdom and hope. You don’t just have light within you. You are the light.

Remember. Shine. We need you.

AJNA DURGA

Power of the Good

You need never lose faith in the power of good. You need never lose faith in how much you can accomplish as an independent and inspired individual in this world. You need never believe that you are alone or without divine protection. You need never fear evil.

The third eye of the Divine Mother sees all things, is ever watchful and ever just. She births through holy vision, the manifest power of good in all realms. Her gaze is upon you now. Trust her.

Believe in the power of the Divine to keep an eye on things for you. Trust that power to alert you when you need to know something or to understand what is happening in your life and what you need – even if you aren’t so sure of that yourself at times.

Be active in contesting negativity.

The moment you feel something isn’t coming from love, acknowledge it immediately. You don’t have to make it about you or analyse it. Call for divine support in all things. It is your greatest ally.

Give up your attachment to past experiences of rejection and abandonment so that you can open up to how much the Divine loves you and can help you. Practice feeling the confidence and unconditional trust in a higher power, knowing it is stronger than all else.

Durga is your ally, your divine weapon, your refuge and your vital energy for sacred purpose. Do not allow yourself to be intimidated.

Let that confidence and trust in the divine goddess of goodness radiate out of you like a shining sun that fills your heart, your mind and your belly.

PONO PONO

Immeasurable Power of the Heart Way

The heart has the power to heal in a way that the mind cannot understand. Do not allow your mind to distract or frighten you. You are a beautiful child of the Universe and divine love lives within your heart.

A willing heart is all that you need to transform any situation that is troubling you.

Recognising this power does not evoke feelings of pressure or anxiety, but, rather, of peace and joy. Lightness of heart and relief of mind are here for you now.

PONO, in the Hawaiian tradition, has deep and multiple meanings, one expression of which is the return to order.

There is a perfection of peace, beauty and fulfilment that the Divine has planned for the lives of all beings. Through the use of human free will, we have at times moved away from what is in the divine plan, stumbled on the path and become ensnared in terrible suffering and frightening delusion.

It then becomes difficult to use our free will with wisdom, and our spiritual disconnection can create far-reaching negative impacts for ourselves and others.

Yet there is a simple spiritual discipline that we can practise to restore the world – and all hearts within it – to rights again.

The Divine dwells in your heart as a healing power and wisdom, which tenderly alleviates suffering, liberating the body, mind and soul. In the Hawaiian tradition from which it emerges, it is known as Ho’o Pono Pono or “to set things right”.

The heart power thrives through this simple four-step practice that can be done by anyone, anywhere, for any person or situation that they would wish to transform. This is not a practice you can approach through the mind.

The mind will resist it because it asks for us to take unconditional responsibility for everything that we encounter. The mind confuses responsibility with guilt and giving with deficit. The heart, though, is joyful at the prospect of spiritual responsibility, because it understands that it offers the empowerment to make a difference and that healing one helps heal all.

The Divine within your heart has the power to transform a situation that is troubling you. Do not be intimidated or think it is too much for your or the Divine to handle. Do not allow yourself to intellectualise or analyse a situation to the point of feeling confused or paralysed.

Healing through the heart on any and all issues that have plagued you or a loved one can and will happen. Let your heart feel the faith it needs to feel so that it can rest in joy.

Divine healing wants to flow abundantly to you. Open up to receive it without hesitation or condition.
