Healers needed!

Have you heard of the Distance Healing Network? It is somewhere you can submit a prayer request for yourself or loved one, and a healer will send their light and love to your issue.

















If you are a healer in any way (reiki is especially appreciated), the DH-N needs you for their overwhelming prayer requests! I have been a member now for about a year, and it simply involves sending an email to your "client", who is allocated to you by a group leader. And then, of course, sending healing to that person. So incredibly simple- and so powerful! Please do consider joining, if you have a few minutes a day spare! You can volunteer here.

"To bless is to acknowledge the omnipresent, universal beauty hidden from material eyes; it is to achieve the law of attraction which, from the furthest reaches of the universe, will bring into your life exactly what you need to experience and enjoy."

- from The Gentle Art of Blessing.

A soft place to land

"The soft place to land that you create should inspire within you the mantra, "I can breathe here. I can relax here. I know I am safe here." When you return to your home after braving worldly rigors, you will feel a subtle yet tranquil shift occur inside of you as you settle in to this most personal of retreats and feel centered once again. "

-from the Daily Om

although we are children of the universe and life is our safe, abundant playground, isn't it wonderful to have our own, special, soft place to land?

Freeing the secret self

"The most enlightened people in the world embrace their full potential of light and dark. When you're with people who recognize and own their negative qualities, you never feel judged by them. It's only when people see good and bad, right and wrong, as qualities outside themselves that judgments occur."

~ Deepak Chopra, The Spontaneous Fulfillment of Desire

When I was 28 I learnt that...

... exploring what you consider to be the unlovable or shameful aspects of who you are will set you free. You might even enjoy owning these parts you always tried to keep secret!

Like the monsters under the bed that disappear when the lights come on, it is only by recognising our inherent innocence that we can learn to fully trust ourselves. We realise the only monsters under the bed are the ones we put there! And this re-found belief in our own innocence opens the door to real love.

what does your secret self constantly whisper about? could giving her her desire... set you free?

Have you decided to look for the monsters under your bed, and found anew life on the other side?

Wellness

If the single best advice for your good health was the instruction not to worry...


Could you do it?

The Art of Allowing- wellness

We would like you to release the word "achieve" or "earn" from your
vocabulary and from your understanding, altogether, and we would like you to
replace those words with the word "allow". You're wanting to allow your
Well-being, not achieve it. It's not something that you need to earn. All you
have to do is decide what it is you would like to experience, and then allow it
in order to achieve it. It isn't something you have to struggle for or try for.
You are all worthy beings. You are deserving of this Well-being.

-Abraham-Hicks daily quote

Allowing Wellness...

When talking to a friend whose opinion I value a few days ago, she expressed great surprise at my complete and quick recovery.

"Isn't that fantastic," she replied, with more than a hint of doubt in her voice. "But you know, you should still take it easy..." Others have said the same.

Just a hint of doubt from someone you believe in, as more knowledgeable than you, can interrupt your vibration and cause you to disallow wellness.

So... never sick, right now i'm suffering a very yukky flu-type thing.

Miraculous, the human body is. Accidents or surgeries we can bounce back from and forget... then a flu will take us, literally, by the throat!! I wonder if this was created by my adopting the expectation of others that I am still to be unwell?

So, time for a reminder: Well being is natural. Wellness prevails. The human body lives, recovers, gets back to it's own state of equilibrium. Well being is the default for all of us.

Unless... is there a kick-back to my being unwell? The sympathy, the connection, the attention?

(Answer: Nah. If I was receiving lots of flowers, maybe. But no.)

Okay, so are you that easily influenced? Who is actually more knowledgeable on you, than you? At how healed you are, than how you are feeling?

(Answer: That's true. No-one is. No one lives in this body but me. I guess that makes me the expert! Hey, I'm allowed to be completely healthy if I want.)

Others may disbelieve your wonderful powers of self-healing; but disregard! Instead, congratulate yourself for allowing the natural miracle of your body to do the thing it was designed to do.

Feng Shui recommends:

The particular combination of citrine and rose quartz crystals (tumbled stones), carried with me everywhere I go, placed nearby wherever I am, have been of such comfort and great assistance, throughout the healing process. Experiment with your own combination of semi-precious stones. May light and health be with you.

Happy New Moon!

... the last new moon of 2008.





Old folk law holds that a tablespoon of sunflower oil, slurped into the mouth first thing in the morning and rinsed around in there for as long as possible, de-activates negative energy in the body and takes on all the toxins we need to be rid of. Don't be surprised at it's colour when you spit the oil out; it will have turned white, and where it falls no grass will grow.





It's been a wonderful season, moon-wise, for celebrations this year. The moon was waning over Christmas, which means despite indulging, we won't have put on weight as easily as we will over the next week or so (when the moon is waxing). The commencement of 2009 will shortly occur when the moon will be waxing in Aquarius (sun sign Capricorn)- wonderful for setting career and save-the-world goals. It's a great time to form new habits that will really stick!





If you can- i usually bend- a fasting, juice or fruit-only day on new moons and full moons does the world of good for a body. On a day like today the body's ability to release toxins is at it's peak. Have a cathartic experience if you can! Set a new goal, mourn a loss- with the cure-all, salt water "tears, sweat or the sea"- surprise, or push yourself. It's time to let whatever's been in your experience these past 12 months float on by...





You won't have missed out on this great opportunity to begin afresh, moon-wise, til the next full moon on Jan 11. To plan your auspicious activities and avoid not-so-wise ones on this day, you can click on the date here.

love,
Samantha.

More of the healing power in our favourite things...

Dear Sabrina at turquoise dreams: 3 Things I love. has some very special favourite things. Are you discovering more of your own as we go on this month?



Here's a secret: I am so glad I am doing this process.

Remember when I wrote that our favourite things, especially if they are universal, can gather around and make a loving landscape no matter where in the world we find ourselves?

I was only just about to find out how true (again) this is.

Because quite suddenly a few days ago I found myself in very different territory from any I've ever been- a hospital ward here on the island. But fresh from listing my favourite things, I discovered many of them them in the unfamiliar setting around me:



.. a sunrise and sunset out the window

.. the steadfast tick-tocking of a clock

.. fluffy bedsocks

.. custard!

.. and, when there was nothing nice to look at, and only moments to "think of something that makes you feel good"; always the angels. Archangels Michael and Raphael, and Ganesh came to visit, right when they were most needed, too.

(remember, the angels need us to call on them to help us. There are many more angelic helpers than we could ever make use of, and the Archangels can be many different places at one time, so call on them whenever you feel lonely, scared, unsure or lost. They need your permission to intervene, and will be at your aid straight away.)



No end of comfort and peace was drawn from noticing and loving their presence.




There's true healing power in our favourite things.
