This lovely Fire festival is coming on 1st May , so it would be a good idea to start to become aware of what “light’s your fire”  – that way you will be ready to align with it on the big day!

Beltane is the perfect time of year to enhance the qualities associated with Fire because it is a festival which resonates with the energy of Fire and new growth and fertility of all kinds. In the old days it was a fertility festival, so why not run with the energy rather than resist it? Align with it and let it flow in, through ad around you, helping you get what you want in your life. Fire is so good at this because its greatest gift to us is change and transmutation… almost instantaneously!

Think about what fills you with all the energies associated with Fire – excitement, energy, creativity, joy and, of course, happiness.. and be aware that Fire will ignite any of these things. I mean if you are happy it will allow you to feel  really, really happy … and who wouldn’t want that?

So think about what you want to use the energy of Beltane for in your life right now and make a conscious connection on 1st May, letting it flow into you and your life.

One easy way to do this is to start meditating with flames – a real one using a candle or just  a visualisation of a flame. All you have to do is breathe the energy into your system.. and a good place to do this is through your solar plexus chakra because this is where the element of Fire lives in your energy system. You can simply use your breath to draw in the energy of Fire into the chakra on your inbreath and release anything it has cleared as black smoke on your outbreath. After a while when the energy of the chakra has been cleared completely, just breathe the energy of Fire into your system to enhance whatever else you want to do. It really is that simple.

The most basic use of Fire in the chakra system is simply to draw the energy in to cleanse each chakra in turn because that’s what Fire does – it transmutes negative energy. So you can just do that if you don’t want to do anything else. Simply sit with a candle and breathe the energy created by the flame into each chakra (and energy body) until you feel really, really clean.

You can also breathe Fire into all the other chakras to stimulate the qualities held in them. If you draw it into the base, you can intend to ignite and enhance the life force energy stored there … if you draw it into your sacral, you can intend to ignite your creativity. You get the idea! The only thing which will limit what can do with the energy of Fire will, of course, be what you think you can or cannot do with it. It will be your mind which limits you, not the Fire element.

So before 1st May think about what you can do to bring the energy of Fire into your life in a very real way. Then on the day make an effort to do something to bring you into resonance with the first day of Spring on the Wheel of the Year… yes, Summer doesn’t start until summer solstice. We are just entering the really potent first stage of outward growth at Beltane, fuelled by Fire to bring about radical change in our lives through the transmutational qualities of the element of Fire. How exciting is that?

So a few ways to do connect with Fire in a practical way are:
• Create something – anything! As long as it makes you happy while you are creating it!
• Give up being responsible (within reason, I hasten to add!) for the day and just do something which is fun and brings you a great deal of pleasure.
• Find a way to stimulate all five senses – but only with things that please you.
• Make a list of things which bring joy into your life and do at least one of them!
• Carnelian is the crystal associated with Fire, Wear it or meditate with it, asking it to bless you with the energy of Fire which resides within it.
The only thing I would add to that list is possibly – don’t forget the fire elementals – the very lovely salamaders. Meditate with them. Journey with them and see where they take you …. They are lovely beings! Though, of course, as usual, I may be a tad biased being shaman!

A simple Fire meditation is to connect to the Fire element held in the Sun, which is, of course, made of Fire!

• GROUND! This is a powerful energy – you know how BIG the Sun is, after all!!! Connecting with it on a conscious level can be very impressive!
• Sit quietly and intend to breathe in the energy of the Sun, asking for it to ignite a spark in your solar plexus and light your Inner Fire (or the Fire element within you).
• See this spark growing and growing with each in breath – that is – let Air feed the Fire – and spread out to fill you completely. This energy will help you to connect to and enhance your will power, your creative ability, your ability to take action and sexual expression.
• Stay with it for a while and watch how it burns – this will tell you a lot about yourself. Is it a small flame or a large one? Does it burn with great heat or not? Does it keep going out? Learn from the amount of Fire element you hold in your energy system.
• After a while – make sure you disconnect fully – on every level – and earth any excess energy in your system which will have been generated by connecting with a star!

In its negative aspect, the Fire element can also spark your anger, your fear and prevent you from taking action if you are not properly aligned to your will power. None of these things are wrong. They are just showing you that your Fire energy is not properly balanced in your system in some way, but after you notice them you can do something about it.

Also you can have a lack of Fire in your system or an excess and either of these will be easy to spot! If you lack Fire, stimulate it in some way, and if you have an excess – use Water to balance it. You can visualise Water in some form in your solar plexus chakra, or you can use an aquamarine at the chakra point with the intention of balancing your Fire element. This crystal holds the energy of the Water element within it.

So – spend some time between now and Beltane thinking about Fire and how its fabulous, vibrant energy can help you.

Bright Blessings.

I was asked about Flidais the other day so since I knew nothing about her, I looked her up and I wrote the piece below. I was going to save it for Mabon, but decided that was probably a foolish move because by September who knows if I would ever find it again if I put it in that proverbial safe place..!

But, the more I typed, the more I became aware of her energy and it occurred to me that with all the energy shifts in March and the chaos this month with all the heart opening energy, Flidais may just be the perfect goddess for us to work with now as well.

Flidais represents the cycles of growth and rebirth … and we are all growing and being reborn relentlessly at the moment as old, redundant bits of us die…but, not literally, of course! In many ways she carries the same energy that Pluto is blessing us with at the moment, so it would certainly benefit all of us to work with her as well to enhance the healing process and clear out all the old and embody the new… and come into balance.

So read the piece below and see if she calls to you.

If she doesn’t call to you now, remember her in September and work with her then. But, seriously, anyone who is going to help re-connect us with our personal power and bless us with abundance and creativity…what else could we want possibly want?

Balance alone in this volatile energetic time is a huge gift all on its own … I’ll be asking for it right now! Maybe you should too … otherwise why would I have been asked about a very obscure Celtic goddess and why would you be reading the blog?

Celebrate Flidais at Mabon
Celtic Earth Goddess, Lady of the Forest, Goddess of the Hunt and Healing Goddess
(pronounced flee-ish)
Quality: Balance
Autumn Equinox is also known as Mabon – a festival which celebrates the end of the harvest. It is a day of perfect balance when dark and light are equal and it is the start of our journey into the dark time of the year. She represents both our domestic and our wild natures so she is the perfect goddess to work with on a day which is perfectly balanced.

Flidais first appears in the ancient mythology as an Earth Mother – mother of the Irish cultivator heroes, Arden, and Bé Téite and the “she-farmers” Bé Chuille and  Dinand. She taught them to cultivate and work the earth for their community. Nowadays, she is seen as a woodland goddess and, as the Lady of the Forest, she protects wild fauna and flora. But in the old tales she is always connected to domestic and wild animals. Deer and cattle are her sacred animals, both of whom she milks and she is said to calls all the wild animals “her cattle.” This association with milk and milking also shows she was mostly likely a goddess of Abundance as well.

You work with Flidais when you feel out of balance because she represents the cycles of growth and rebirth. She also embodies our domestic and wild natures, so she will help us find that balance within ourselves. She can connect with the deepest, wild parts of ourselves, including our sexuality, relieving any guilt modern civilization has created around this part of us.

Flidais can also help us re-connect with our own sense of empowerment and as a shape-shifter, she can helps us shift the shape of our lives. She allows us to see everything in a new light, and blesses us with abundance and creativity.  .

Additional Info:
• Flidais is also a shape-shifter, a goddess of Sexuality, and a healing goddess.
• Her colours are brown and green.
• She rides a chariot drawn by deer.
• Her name means doe and deer can represent her
• Trees are also sacred to Flidais
• She is the protector of the trees and the animals of the forest.
• She is the protector of the poor she will help any who call on her, including outcasts.
• She provides for all who rely on her.
• She claims the right to give her nurturing, abundance, and sensuality to whomever she chooses.
• She is also known as a Goddess of the Hunt – similar to Diana and Artemis, though she is not a virgin goddess

I have been thinking of doing a blog on Quan Yin for some time. She has been nudging me towards my keyboard … very gently… for a while. I just didn’t know where to start. I mean – even her name has many spellings … Quan Yin, Kuan Yin, Kwan Yin and Guanyin.

I know her simply as Quan… and I was astonished to find she has been with me all my life. I was just so daft I didn’t even notice her until I was in my late 40’s. Quite how I managed to ignore such a powerful presence and such a beautiful energy never ceases to amaze me, but I did. It just goes to show how blind we can be if we do not want to see, or we are afraid to really open our hearts. We do anything to avoid the pain… the trouble was I never realised Quan Yin was the answer to my pain. But, thankfully, she got to me in the end, and my heart opened… whether I was ready or not! Quan Yin, it seems, really can work miracles, bless her.

Of all the light beings who have helped me over the years, Quan Yin has probably done the most in her own subtle but powerful way – apart from the very lovely Metatron – but that’s is not just one other blog it’s probably a whole series. He’s like that!  And I have become aware over the last few weeks that she is wanting to help a lot of other people. But how to put down in words all she can do? An impossible task because even though I could quite happily write for pages and pages about her, it all amounts to nothing until you actually experience her beautiful, peaceful and deeply healing energy.

Quan Yin holds, unconditional love, mercy, forgiveness and compassion and all of us could benefit from any one of those qualities, or, in fact, all four of them! So you see why she is such a help on any healing journey. And my favourite title for her – although she has so many it is almost ridiculous – is She Who Hears The Cries of The World.

When you are in trouble and you feel alone and you feel no one can help or no one is listening …. Quan Yin is there. She is a Divine Mother and she holds the same energy as Mother, Mary of God in Christianity, or Isis in Egypt, or Shakti in Hinduism. But, of all those goddesses, I find her the most approachable, the most kind and helpful when you feel vulnerable and in need of a little TLC, the most easy to talk to and the most wonderful goddess to sit with. You can heal just by being in her energy…. Do you get how much I love her? She is quite simply… beloved….

So, although I could sit here and type nice lists, telling you which crystal to use when working with her, which colour is best to use on your altar, what things are associated with her… they are just words. What you need to do is just ask her in your own way (although there are many rituals you can look up on the internet if you want to) to come and sit with you. All you have to really do is Just be in her energy and breathe it into your heart. Let her energy open your heart and allow her to bless you over and over again until you really begin to understand unconditional love. It can flow relentlessly from her heart directly into your heart, if you allow it, not to mention accept it. Can you truly imagine love with no strings attached? Not many of us can when we start out because we are conditioned to give and receive love in an entirely different way … unfortunately for us!

But unconditional love – just being loved warts and all – is an astonishing thing to experience and sitting with Quan Yin gives you direct access to this and you can let it flow into your heart … don’t think about it. Just do it! What have you got to lose? Apart from your pain, your fear, your anger, your anxiety, your sadness, and any other negative emotional state that plagues you…  just let Quan Yin’s four qualities flow into your heart and eradicate everything else! Even if you do it a little bit at a time, you will get there in the end. I promise you..if nothing else, I am living proof it actually works. I resisted for over forty years for goodness sake. But she got me in the end and changed my life radically… for the better, I hasten to add.

I know I usually give you lots of information and things to do, but it is so much better to find your own way to call Quan Yin, your own way to accept her peaceful and loving energy into your heart. But if you really need something to get you started … find a recording of her mantra Om Mani Padme Hum and play it while you ask her to join you. This is one of the mostly deeply healing mantras you are ever likely to encounter. You will feel better even if you just sit and listen without asking Quan Yin to join you. Try it and see… there are loads of versions on youtube if you don’t have a CD. But make sure you find one you like. There all sound different, depending on who is chanting them. My personal favourite is by Deborah Van Dyke – here’s the reference. One click and you are away … https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2m98JO2g3s

Or if you want a crystal – the standard one to use and place on your heart while you are working with Quan Yin is, of course, rose quartz. But that can be harsh if you are vulnerable. I would personally recommend pink kunzite. Its energy is almost as gentle and exquisite as Quan Yin’s, so it works really well. Or if you and hurting inside– go for green aventurine. It’s is so gentle and it nurtures you as you heal and grow. It is the energy of the first green shoots in spring time… perfect for this kind of work.

So, after reading this what do you do? Close down your computer, find a quiet place and ask Quan Yin to join you. That is truly all you have to do. Just ask her to come and sit with you and let her heal you on all levels. I promise it will be one of the most profound experiences of your life… so far …. There are plenty of other goddess who can help you embody your Authentic Self in many other ways once Quan Yin has opened and activated your heartspace in so many new and exciting ways.

Journey well with her….

Bright Blessings

Carnelian is a stabilising stone with very high energy levels and it is excellent for restoring your vitality and motivation. Also due to its stabilising effect it is the perfect stone for anchoring you in the present NOW moment.

The key phrase for carnelian is one of my very favourite statements attached to a crystal – it is: Since there is nothing but love, you have no choice but to love and love will return to you exponentially.

And if that doesn’t get you reaching for your carnelian or running to a shop to buy some – nothing will! And don’t forget with this kind of energy held in the crystal you can use it on your heart as well as the base and sacral, even though it is not specifically listed as a heart chakra stone. No one told carnelian it couldn’t work on that energy centre because it wasn’t green or pink. It just goes right ahead and works anyway – crystals are like that! We categorise them and they ignore it!!

QUALITIES
stability ~ emotional warmth ~ sociability ~ creativity ~ individuality ~ memory
appreciation of nature ~ harmony ~ courage ~ happiness ~ self-esteem ~ reincarnation ~ past life recall ~ rebirth

Chakras – Base and Sacral Chakras
THINGS TO DO WITH CARNELIAN

When used in meditation, Carnelian will help you understand how to bring a concept into being, and how to manifest it into action. This is because it stimulates creativity when placed on the sacral chakra. It also grounds and anchors you into reality, which really helps the manifestation process. It also encourages you to stop waiting for dreams to appear, and help to make them appear.
I was going to do a whole list of properties for the stone, but you can get that kind of information anywhere, so I am going straight to how carnelian can help you!

ONE
Hold a carnelian in each hand and place a smokey quartz on the base chakra. The smokey quartz is a strong grounding stone, and when used with carnelian, so it will create a strong flow of downward energy, which will take any excess energy out of your system. It will also allow energy to flow into your earthstar chakra.

TWO
Hold a carnelian in each hand and focus on your sacral chakra. Then visualise a small flame in the chakra and let the energy of the fire element held within the stone to warm this area of your body. Then gradually allow the flame to grow until it fills the chakra and set the intention you want the energy of the flame to clear the chakra.
After you have done the meditation several times, you can make the flame grow even larger until it reaches up into the solar plexus. Set the intention that you want the energy of the flame to ignite the fire energy held in this chakra and clear it of anything which no longer serves your highest and greatest good.

THREE
Letting Go of Pain and Trauma Layout
You will need six small carnelian tumblestones.
Lie on the floor and place the stones as follows.
One at the crown chakra, one of your throat chakra, one either side of your body at the solar plexus, one at calf-level between your legs, one just below your feet .
Lie with the stones for as long as you feel you need to.

The first time you use this layout you may feel uncomfortable as the stones bring old pain and trauma to the surface to be released. Stay with the release process if you can. If you can’t, stop and try again later. Releasing the negativity a little at a time may be easier for you than trying to do it all at once. You will know what to do when you are doing it!

USING CARNELIAN WITH OTHER STONES
To amplify the energy held in a carnelian and use it to enhance your creativity, use the stone with Golden Labradorite, Amber, Yellow Apatite, or Sardonyx.

To stimulate your willpower, use carnelian at ther solar plexus with Pyrite, Sardonyx, Malachite, Pietersite or Preseli Bluestone.

Combined with either Green Aventurine or with Green Calcite,
For physical healing of the organs in the lower  half of the body, including the liver and pancreas, gall bladder and kidneys – use the stone with green aventurine or green calcite.

Enjoy working with such a lovely stone!

Bright Blessings, Gail!

Well with Equinox this weekend at another eclipse due on Wednesday – grounding repeatedly is essential, so here are two ways to use red garnet to do it.

EXERCISE ONE

• Lie down and place your garnet on your base chakra
• Set the intention that you want to use the energy of the stone to ground
• Visualise a stream of rich deep red energy flowing from your garnet and going down from your base chakra into the centre of the Earth.
• See or sense the energy returning to your base chakra tinged with golden earth energy.
• Sit in this energy flow for as long as you like.

Additional Note: You may also want to try visualising the red garnet energy running up your central channel to flow out of the crown up to the centre of the sun so you are connected above and below. This will be very powerful, so be sure it’s what you actually need to do before you do it!

EXERCISE TWO

• Set the intention that you want to use the energy of the stone to ground
• Holding your garnet, stand or sit, and visualize the red energy of garnet flowing downwards and forming a red triangle from your base chakra to the floor, as if is filling in space between your legs, which naturally forms a triangle.
• Continue the visualization until you feel fully grounded and if you want to you can carry the stone for the rest of the day.

Although red garnet is usually listed as a base chakra stone, you can also use it on your heart chakra. Try it and see! It works wonders. It brings calmness and peacefulness to this energy centre, which is always handy! It is a wonderful stone to use if you want to open your heart.

It can also remove negativity from all the chakras as well and using it from the base and continuing up to the crown is astonishingly effective.

Lastly, it stimulates energy from both the base and crown chakras, allowing it to flow freely along the spinal column and the central channel, distributing the appropriate amount of energy to each part of the body.

QUALITIES OF RED GARNET

 Passion ~ Sensuality ~ Sexuality ~ Romantic love ~ Intimacy ~ Positive thoughts ~ Energy ~ ~Inspiration ~ Success ~ Social popularity  ~ Self-confidence

Energy: Protective
Element:  Fire
Powers: Healing, Protection, Strength

OTHER THINGS RED GARNET DOES

• It is a powerful energizing and regenerative stone.
• It cleanses and re-energizes the chakras.
• It balances, strengthens and protects.
• It helps you let go of old behaviour patterns you no longer want or need.
• It boosts self-confidence.
• It revitalizes, purifies and balances energy.
• It balances the energy field around the physical body and also aligns the emotional and mental bodies.
• It activates other crystals, amplifying their effect.
• It sharpens your perceptions of yourself and other people.

Enjoy working with this lovely stone. It is one of my favourites.

Bright Blessings!

Well, there I was researching crystals you could use for growth and transition during the eclipse season and three robins appeared outside my car while I was parking it. Three… was the Universe thinking I wouldn’t be paying attention at such a ridiculous hour in the morning and I might miss one? Well, actually, quite probably, yes, as I am most definitely not a morning person…

So three certainly did make me sit up and take note and start Googling Robin as a totem… and at that point I thought .. AH … crystals can come later…
Robin is the guide who allows you to see the wisdom of change, growth and renewal. Jeez, I think we probably need a whole flock of them!

So, during March, please spend some time with Robin … a physical or non-physical one, which ever you prefer! We are certainly going to need Robin’s energy as we move through all the changes we have to make after the two eclipses.

Take a look at all the information and see what bits resonate with you and meditate with Robin to see what comes up. Something will… I’d put money on it! And he is just waiting to help!

Message of Robin
Let go of everything which isn’t working in your life and if you meditate with Robin your new path will be shown to you.

Robin brings the gifts of song and true voice
Robin’s totem energies are Spring and release
Robin’s animal energy is good luck and serendipity

Robin:
• signifies new growth and renewal in lots of areas of your life.
• teaches that any changes you have to make can be made with joy, laughter and a song in your heart – if that is what you chose.
• helps you  to be independent and self- reliant during any period of change.
• teaches you how to move forward with ease and grace, tenacity, perseverance and assertion.
• teaches you how to release what ever does not serve your highest and greatest good
• helps you learn to incorporate new beginnings with trust and faith in the process connect with compassion and patience
• helps you learn to believe in yourself and use any inspiration which is given to you in the best possible way
• helps you deal with conflict in a mature manner

Lovely things Robin can bring into your life:
• Changing luck and fortunes  – for yourself and others
• Joy
• Hope
• Clarity
• Musicality
• Connecting to others through song, voice and words
• Constantly moving forward
• Bringing new growth into your life
• Renewal
• Pleasure
• Simplicity
• Finding beginnings more often than endings
• Being a pioneer
• Happiness
• Satisfaction
• Rejuvenation
• Contentment
• Helps you see connections to disease and illness which you may have missed before
• Lessons connected to incarnating for the current life time
• Learning how to spring forward
• Bright future

I mean, seriously, is there anyone who wouldn’t benefit from almost everything on that list! And on top of that one of Robin’s greatest gifts is that he will help you speak your truth and speak from your heart and see things from a new perspective. This is particularly helpful when you need to look at a situation from a fresh new perspective, especially if the situation is unclear to you. You can ask Robin for clarity when your judgement is clouded or when you need light shed on an issue.

So, please – make Robin your new best friend during March and journey well with him..

Okay – so the energy of March …
After three coronal holes and a ridiculous amount of solar flares in February bringing loads and loads of our deeply buried rubbish to the surface for clearing – do we get a break in March? No, of course not! We have a total solar eclipse on 8th/9th March, depending on where you are… and a partial lunar eclipse on 23rd March with the Equinox on 20th. I am beginning to think we will never get any time off for good behaviour! I mean we are doing our best down here – we really are!
However, that said, eclipses are fabulous tools which, if used properly, can enable us to see which areas of our life are working and which are not and this then enables us to initiate change on a very deep level. Your choice is whether you let that change help or hinder your personal growth process… and two in a few weeks means we will have to make the changes quickly and adapt fast to the new energy we find ourselves inhabiting… lovely!!!
Two trigger turning points in quick succession can be a good thing, though. It takes us into the energy of choicelessness, which is often useful. It enables us to surrender to the change process more easily … or maybe it’s just me! But, if change is coming, surrendering to it rather than resisting it is always the smartest choice…
So start thinking now about what you need to change in your life before you are forced to do it. It will make the whole process much easier to handle and far less traumatic… because whether you go with the flow or resist it, during an eclipse window (the energy available before and after the event as well as during the event) the Universe always is very, very clear about what it wants to do for you – and that is move you forward! Are you really, seriously going to fight something as big as the Universe…? Trust me – surrendering is a much easier option!
During any eclipse window something always happens … something ends and something begins and you will find that you can never go back to the way things were before the energy shifted. So if you know a shift is coming – why not work ahead of time and make the shift something wonderful rather than something far more negative.
Look at your life and see what needs to change, what needs to be released or enhanced using the energy available at the time of the eclipse. Make it work for you rather than against you. But be aware that any changes will either happen instantly or over a period of months after the event. You have to just go with the flow without knowing what the specific outcome will be … sounds about right for us at the moment, doesn’t it!
As a general rule, solar eclipses (8th/9th March) mostly create new beginnings and new opportunities while lunar eclipses tend to create endings and can be far more emotional (23rd march).  So armed with this information, it will allow you to plan what you want to use the energy of the eclipses for rather than just getting caught up with it … clear intentions get clear results, so make the most of it!
And be aware than any eclipse will always provide you with information that you need to know about … of course, it may not always be information that you want to know about, but that’s life at the moment! What you have to do is learn not judge this information as good or bad. It is just knowledge which can help you see your life more clearly and enable you to make smarter choices about what you want to clear or manifest in your life.
One of the important things to look out for with the solar eclipse in March is what is known as the Chiron Wound – the Soul Wound we have come to deal with in this lifetime – a truly deep wound on a soul level. And helpfully for us, the lunar eclipse on 23rd will provide some insights on how we need to deal with the wound and start to clear it from our system. It is always a wound which touches the mind, body or soul in a profound way – an illness, disease or injury at the physical, psychological or spiritual level which is often attached to the theme of this lifetime. And as such, it is a wound which can be triggered by events in this life time or a wound brought forward into this lifetime from a previous one. Either way, it has to be dealt with, and eclipses like the ones in March can be used to gain great insight into our on-going journey towards wholeness.
So – all you have to do is decide what you want to do next?
There is one, brief window of respite, which is the Equinox on 20th March. This day with twelve hours of light and twelve hours of darkness will allow the energy of balance to flow into our lives – a useful thing when you are in the middle of two honking great energy shifts! But, please be aware that this can also make you painfully aware of what things are not balanced in your life as well. More information we should not judge, but just use to move forward…
So, all in all, a fun month ahead… though it may well be a strange new use of the word fun which many of us were previously unaware of if we are not paying attention to the moving and shifting of the energy around us.
My only advice – watch what comes up for clearing … and make sure you clear it! You will feel better afterwards. And, if you need help, ask for it! Don’t be daft and try and do it on your own if you know you can’t. There are people around who can help … both physical and non-physical. Avail yourself of this help … on all levels… and make sure you are working as much as possible with your helpers and guides who can provide great insight at this time. The only alternative is to go to bed on March 7th and hide under your duvet until the end of the month! The only trouble with that is – you may feel better while you are actually hiding under the duvet, but the changes will still be there waiting for you when you come out. You might as well just give in and get on with it and use the energy available during March to make it as painless as possible!
The workshops this month are all based around utilizing the energy of the eclipses and the Equinox. Take a look and if you think one might be helpful, you are more than welcome to book a place and join the rest of us who are trying to give in gracefully to the whole change process.
Ah – and the most important piece of advice … please always make sure you maintain your sense of humour at all times….
Bright Blessings!

Well, now we are into the New Year and desperately wanting to make that new start by getting rid of things we don’t like about ourselves – usually a thought or behaviour pattern – how do we do it? Resolutions rarely work. I’ve stopped making them. It just gives us an excuse to get out that proverbial  big stick and beat ourselves about the head with it. We are happy to set all these impossible targets and then just as happy to do absolutely nothing about achieving them. We’ve all done it and hated ourselves afterwards as well. How stupid is that?

So, given that for an intelligent species we can be incredibly stupid about this, can I offer an alternative, from Ascended Master Djwhal Khul through Dr Joshua David Stone? When I learned this technique I found it really useful and thought this was the perfect time of year to share it. I mean, why battle against a negative pattern you are struggling with, or have been struggling with for years when you can … well … just nuke it and have done with it!

The blue triangle Ascended Master Djwhal Khul suggests you work with is created from the energy of the second planetary ray of Love/Wisdom. It is an extremely powerful energy and it contains and embodies the Divine quality of love and the desire for pure knowledge and absolute truth. It is a deep intense blue.

I assume Djwhal Khul brought the idea forward while he was Chohan of the second ray because he has now moved on. But, bless him, he will still be more than happy to work with you while you are clearing your Four Body System if you want him to. It was after all, his idea! All you have to do is ask him.

Or if you find you do not resonate with him, Ascended Master Kuthumi also works with the second ray energy and can be called on. Or if you prefer angelics – Jophiel and Christine serve on the second ray and Apollo and Lumina are the Elohim associated with the ray as well

So, you have a whole host of people ready and willing to help and support you if you are really serious about bringing about the changes you want in your life this January! Or, if all else fails, there is always your own helpers and guides who are always with you.

So, what do you do?

Well it couldn’t be easier… you visualise a blue triangle above your head!  Yes, it really is that simple! If you Google the technique it, helpfully, won’t tell you which way up to visualise the darn thing, of course! All I can say is I tried it both ways – base above the head and apex at the top and apex above the head and base at the top. I have to say visualising the apex at my crown chakra, the triangle slotted nicely in to the chakra and acted like a vortex, sucking out everything I put into it. It was great, but do try both ways and see which one suits you the most. It might be the other one.

So, what else will enhance this seriously good cleaning process?

1. Have a very clear intention that you want the energy of the second planetary ray of Love/Wisdom to create your triangle otherwise it’s just an ordinary blue triangle!
2. Be very clear about which negative pattern (thought or behaviour) that you want to place inside the triangle!
3. Ask for anything you place in the triangle to be burned up by the intense spiritual energies contained within it.
4. Then just go for it and shove anything you like inside your handy triangle!

Of course, there are other additional things you can do. You can ask the helper or guide you choose to work with what would be the most beneficial thing for you to clear. After all, we all do seem to have more than one thing which needs to go or is dragging us down. In fact, some days it feels as if the list of things we need to deal with, energetically speaking, is endless… how lucky for us!! But with this technique you can just keep clearing and clearing until everything on your list has magically gone because it’s so quick and easy to use.

Anyway, when the faulty negative pattern has been identified by your support team, you can ask them to list what other additional patterns associated with it are also operating within in, so you can make sure you put everything in your triangle and nuke the lot, rather than only spotting one thing yourself and having to deal with the rest another time. Just do it all and have done with it!

So, have a happy January and a happy time clearing all those things you would have turned into a New Year’s resolution you would have just ignored. This year you can do something about it and feel fabulous afterwards!

Bright Blessings!

To Do or Not to Do ….

Although, at the moment, we are constantly changing – on all levels – physical, emotional, mental and spiritual … and quite probably on all planes and in all dimensions, but that’s a whole different blog! And, as time is bizarrely being deconstructed around us, sometimes it is very easy to slip back into old, familiar ways. But as the sun sets on Solstice Day, why not let its light show you new ways, which will lead to new adventures? I mean. at this point in our evolutionary journey, what have we got to lose?

For many, many years, every Solstice I have gone to Avebury. I don’t just love the place, I adore it. And I had planned to go this year. It’s what I’ve always done and thought I would always do. It is, for want of a better phrase, my “happy” place and in many ways it is home as I have spent several lifetimes with those beautiful stones. They sometimes sing to me when I’m not there, softly calling until I journey south to see them… and what a sound they make when they sing. There are simply no words to describe it, so the idea of not going to sing with them was deeply distressing for me.

But, as with all things now, what you have always done, is not always what you need to do when you seriously start to live in the NOW moment. You have to do what is right in that instant of time. Not what was right the last time you thought about it. You could have changed a dozen times since then! But sometimes the pull of what has been is very powerful and the choice often becomes stick with the old or open to the new, which will always encourage expansion and growth. So, I guess, no Avebury for me this year.

But, what do you do when you suddenly find you can’t do what you always do… well, of course, you can look for signs, but it’s easy to miss them when you are only looking at the past , assuming it will also be the future. You forget to look in the NOW. For an intellegent species, we can be really daft!

So, while I was sulking about not seeing my lovely stones, I picked up a book I hadn’t read in nearly 30 years and I was amazed. Reading it now was a revelation. I understood it on so many different levels. It was Glastonbury – Avalon of the Heart by Dion Fortune. Goodness only knows what the younger version of me made of it, but the older version felt my heart  open and I saw what I had never seen before – my deep connection to the place.

In my 20s the connection was Arthur. His legend was the thing that  made me take the journey from London. Then in my 40s it was the shopping … all those books and crystals are irreistable! And now in my 50s I found it was something else entirely. It was Brigid.

I love Brigid, Bridgit, Brede, Bride, Brigantia – the goddess of many names. But I usually only work with her at Imbolc and Summer Solstice. So, when I had an overwhelming urge to play Brigid by Damn the Bard I was a bit surprised until I found the reference in my book saying she was at Glastonbury, and spent time in quiet contemplation on the Isle of Beckary near Wearyall Hill. I must have known, I’ve read the book before, but I had completely forgotten and I had to open to the possibility that Glastonbury was the place to go this Solstice. Not what I was expecting at all. I was probably still secretly hoping it was all a mistake and I could go to Avebury!

But, even if I don’t go to Glastonbry, the thought of doing it is enough to break the old, rigid ways within me and open me to something more… to other possibilities, other eneries, which will still be a great blessing.

So what are you doing this Solstice? What you always do? Or what you need to do as the Wheel of the Year turns and the light returns, allowing us to move slowly towards the start of our outward cycle of growth?

Do yourself a favour – check and make sure you are doing what needs to be done and be ready to release the old if you need to, to make room for the new. And find a place to go, or a ritual to do, which helps you move forward rather than hinders your progress, your never-ending journey towards the light, and embodying more Divine Light as a blessing for all on the earthplane at this time.

I leave you with a quote from Dion Fortune from her book:  “…experience proves that there is power in holy places, power to quicken the spiritual life and vitalise the soul with fresh enthusiasm and inspiration. Where strong spiritual emotions have been felt over long periods of time by successive generations of dedicated men and women… the mental atomsosphere of the place becomes imbued with the spiritual forces and sensitive souls capable of response are deeply stirred thereby when they come to it,”

Let something quicken your spiritual life and re-vitalise your soul this Solstice… find the place you need to be, or the people you need to be with and go for it!

Oh – and feel free to put youtube, Brigid and Damn the Bard into Google and listen to this beautiful song. And let Brigid bless you in so very many ways, despite the fact she does’t usually come out to play until Imbolc.

Bright Blessings!

Gail.

So, what is HomoLuminous and what does it have to do with 12:12? Read on…

12:12 is just what we all need when everything seems to be going to hell in a hand basket – a pre-encoded date to trigger a new level of awareness. And we can’t avoid it ether because it happens on 12^th December, whether we want to be changed or not, and it can be felt most intensely at 12.12 p.m. – what surprise!

But what does 12:12 mean? Well, numerologically speaking, the energy of the day and the gateway or portal which opens contains the energy of:

1 – resonates with creation and new beginnings, courage, attainment and inspiration, self-leadership, assertiveness and initiative. This number contains all the energy you need to create your reality with your thoughts, beliefs and actions and it also encourages you to step right out of your comfort zone to achieve your goals.

Good, but challenging – eh?

2 – resonates with balance and harmony, duality, faith, devotion, insight, co-operation, adaptability, diplomacy, partnership and relationship. It also resonates with faith and trust and fulfilling your soul purpose.

Good again, which is just as well since the numbers are used twice and their energy is amplified…

Also 12 + 12 is also 3 + 3 = 6 which is the frequency of the Star of David, so the energy of the gateway will ignite your light body or merkaba. If you light body is activated, intending to use the energy downloaded from the gateway to enhance it will be good, as will meditating on the shape of the Star of David.

The actual gateway is different from the one on 11:11. That was an angelic gateway. This one is connected to Unity Consciousness and the golden Christ Consciousness energy. It is an opportunity to connect with this beautiful energy or a chance to deepen your connection if you are already attuned.

And, if you keep seeing the numbers 12:12 on clocks or other digital displays, it is always a sign that the doorway to the higher realms is opening. All you have to do is decide is 1) what does this mean to or for you? And 2) are you going to step through the doorway and have an adventure?

Although 12:12 always offers a chance to upgrade your energy system with a Light Code download, plus a new initiation into high frequencies of light, this year it is specifically upgrading your thymus chakra. This is because the 12:12 download always anchors new structures in your energy system and they are targeting this chakra. It will ignite it if you are not currently working with the chakra or activate it at a new, higher level if you are. It is also known as the Higher Heart and it is the place where you experience and appreciate compassion for the world, rather than the giving and receiving of love which is what the heart chakra regulates.

Handily for us, Haniel, who is the Angel of December, (see previous blog for more info) is responsible for the Thymus Chakra and is ready and waiting to help. All you have to do is ask! He can oversee the whole download process for you and this enormous influx of golden light will open you and the chakra to love, compassion, forgiveness and choice, but only if you are willing to receive the high frequencies contained within it. It will also open new pathways for unconditional love to move in and through all aspects of your life. Who wouldn’t want that… or a lovely angel’s help?

As always, all you have to do is let the available energy into your system – preferably at 12:12 if you can. Call in Haniel or any of your helpers and guides to support your work and ask for the incoming energy to align your heart and your thymus with the downloading energy. This will allow you to act as a lightening rod and vast quantities of the golden Christ Consciousness energy can flow through you and ground into the earth. You will benefit as the energy flows through your system and everyone else will benefit once it is anchored on the earthplane.

Make sure you are seriously grounded and then let the energy enter your crown chakra and flow out of your base into Mother, but always ask for it to hit your system at the most appropriate frequency for you at this time. This is high frequency energy and you need to work with it safely. You should also ask your helpers and guides to ensure your system stabilises at the most appropriate frequency for you when you have finished working and earth any excess energy into the ground.

And what does HomoLuminous have to do with all this – well, all this light means you have an opportunity to become a Divine Being of Light in human form – just what we want! A chance to glow over the Holiday season!!!

Have fun!

Bright Blessings!
