I've spent the day in a very relaxed space today. A space which encourages long, nourishing deep breaths and only random, flyaway thoughts rather than the usual deluge of harried, whirlwind ones. Its a nice space to be in pre Christmas celebrations and one I will cherish come 2015. I wonder whether it's the Labradorite… Continue reading My inner best friend
Last night, just before pressing publish, my solstice celebrations began. I meditated and connected to the energies of the New Moon and Sun and set my intention for the weeks if not months ahead. I also worked with a piece of Labradorite, my star child crystal. It was one of the first crystals I bought,… Continue reading Labradorite, Light
Today is a massively I mean MASSIVELY powerful day in the heavens with it both being a New Moon and also Winter Solstice. What a beautiful Solstice day it's been too. Time for the return of the Light. New Moons as I previously mentioned represent an opportunity for new beginnings. Harnessing the energy of the… Continue reading The most magical time of the year
Crikey I've made it to 50 posts in a row. My Aries ascendant has gone to lie down in shock and Moon in Virgo is cheering at me actually achieving some semblance of discipline. I may rest on my laurels for a moment or two mainly because I'm still rather weary from the social activity… Continue reading Productive pause
Last day of work for a while today. Resting and revelling ahead. As its Frigg's day it's time for a bit of poetry appreciation again. And another William Blake poem. This particular one has come up a number of times this week and is useful for both my HR work and also personal development, mainly… Continue reading Poetic observations
I've taken to wearing a large amber pendant when out in public. I started to feel a pull towards wearing amber in the Summer which I wore on a silver chain just above my heart and below my throat chakras, an energetic spot known as the "higher heart" chakra. Since starting my blog I'm now… Continue reading Always be positive
Whilst nursing my red wine hangover I've been thinking about the power of community today. Not a community interest based or geographical, rather the sense of community. At the dinner last night I felt it. I am blessed that the people I work with have a close connection, almost familial. I not only watched that… Continue reading Feeling the love
Today my proverbial nose was stuck to an equally proverbial grindstone. No time think even daydream about plans for next year, crystals, energy, spaces, the nature of the universe. Just focus on the task at hand. I was not alone in this either. Quite a few of us had to come together to get it… Continue reading Spirit of togetherness
About a month or so ago I discovered a TED like video clip that I felt compelled to watch. The presenter was a physicist with long hair and a hawaiian shirt, bouncing around the stage enthusing about the nature of the universe and teaching the audience a different approach to maths, some of which hurt… Continue reading As above so below
Our sitting room is full of boxes and half wrapped gifts today. That coupled with various accroutrements that have gathered over the week has created a little bit of a chaotic living environment. So what better day to start thinking about space. Another theme in my life or even another watchword of mine is space. … Continue reading Sacred space and the City
