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
I've done it. I think. I've finally figured out Fridays. The clue was in the exploration of the name last week. Venus or Frigg day, day of appreciating art and beauty. So today I am going to indulge in another one of my loves: poetry. This morning on the way to work I picked up… Continue reading Friday reveals itself
I visited my exercise therapist today. Yes it's a thing and if you have M.E or other forms of unexplained fatigue you get to find out what one of these can do. It's been a revelation. Something I initially resisted but have embraced. It sounded like it would be something akin to school gym. Jumping… Continue reading Body beautiful
Back to work today and it was a struggle. Emulating Christmas, Geordie style at the weekend had switched on the "Switch off" programme in my brain and it had decided that given the recent events involving crackers, opening presents, spending time with family followed by more time off meant that its only work now was… Continue reading Not Christmas yet
I drew the above mandala after a meditation on 11.11.11. I saw 21 people in a circle connected through strands of light. They were sending and receiving love and energy to each other. Within the 21, 3 groups of 7. It felt a powerful message then and still is very much with me today. And… Continue reading Connection mandala
I am overflowing with the excitement of possibilities today. Full on babbling brook. A quick look at my chart and I can see a key couple of planets are actively encouraging my outpouring. Transit Venus is almost exactly conjunct my natal Mars, my chart ruler, and their creative collaboration is well and truly stoking the… Continue reading A date with Venus
Writing and M.E.
