Mama Earth & Me

Art thanks to Josephine Wall.

I am floating effortlessly, languishing in this space
The land of in-between, of asleep and awake
Drifting in this sleepy sea, I hear the whisper of my name
I’m falling deeper and deeper, as freely as the rain.

The birdsong echo her sweetest sound
As she calls to me on the breeze
Pulling me from my slumber, under the canopy of trees
My eyelids flutter like butterfly wings
As her breath caresses my face
Every fibre of my being, enters a newly awakened state.

She stands here before, me holding out her hand
Come sweet child, let me show you the riches of our land
My heart it races with wonder, I see through eyes anew
As she steals me through the forest, the wood of Bluebells too
The velvet blades they tickle my bare soled dancing feet
The mountains in the distance, with their snow capped majestic peaks
Meadows dressed in daisies, with buttercup pools of light
Clouds of floating blossoms, among the emerald leaves
Sparks of Kingfisher colour, darting through the reeds.

We dance on the hillside, and the light it turns to dusk
We gaze at the stars, and the moon shines just for us
Our hearts swell with wonder of all that is above
As we lay on the hillside, on the softest emerald rug.

Now we are back, to the sleepy willow tree
You see me now she says, you see me with eyes anew
You see me for real, and your heart feels it too.

Placing her emerald hand on the heart of my soul
As the doors of my heart open, like a creaking gate
She whispers her perfumed chant, it is never too late
I’ve been waiting dear one, for this day to arrive
Now you know, how to truly feel alive
She places my hand on her heart, and we beat just the same
This lifeforce of mine, feel it inside
She fills me with love, as her sky blue eyes
Sparkle with raindrops, in the afternoon sun
Sweet child she says, your dance of life has just begun.

Listen to your heartbeat, now take a look inside
See, there is the emerald and the clear blue sky
The mountains are glistening, with their snow capped majestic peaks
And the forest, a canopy from the midday heat
Look, there is the meadow with the buttercup sun
And listen to the birdsong, where it all begun.

Now, look a little further, you see the ocean and the stream
The bees collecting nectar from the blossom on the trees
Feel the motion of the river, feel the burning of the sun
Hear the raindrops fall on the petals, see the sunrise just begun
Hear the rushing of the brook, feel gentleness of the breeze
See, there you are dancing with wildlife among the trees
There are the stars, as they wink from high above
And the moonlight, she bathes you in so much love.

Dear one, this dance is meant together
And now it shall be so
I’ll hold you and I’ll carry you
And watch you as you glow
With the sun in your hair
And the ocean in your eyes
The emerald in your heart, that I have placed inside
This land, it is yours
This land, it is mine
This land of ours together
Until, the end of time.

Love, Always ❤
The Blooming Heart

Welcoming a New Dawn

9781539146889_p0_v1_s550x406

As the night falls in for the last time this decade and the birds sing their last evening song of 2019
I take a walk in the brisk evening air
One of my special trees is my destination.

Arriving, and with his permission
I stretch my arms round him
Closing my eyes
Breathing in his healing
Breathing out my love and gratitude.

I rest against my beautiful tree
And connect with the stillness of the early evening
Closing my eyes I enter into a beautiful exchange
Of breath, with the trees, with the earth, with the universe
I give thanks for this special moment.

This is a magical time of evening, where the energies of the closing year, meet with the energies of the opening year.
There is always an air of excited expectation, yet tonight the magic is heightened with the closing and opening of a new decade.

In this moment of stillness, I bathe in the waters of reflection.
Allowing all that has come to pass, in this year, in this decade to wash over me.
A myriad of images, thoughts, feelings, moments, emotions and experiences swirl in my vision and my heart.

Some with great sadness, yet even in the darkest days of sadness eventually there was joy to be found.

Through the hollowing grief of loss, I was shown there remains an eternal light of connection. I was not alone. 

This light bought me comfort, hope, belief, and so much love.

For through this grief, I have truly found myself, found my soul and my visions turned to joy.

As I stand now, on the precipice of a new era
I open my heart and send sparkles of the light of gratitude out into the night.
Gratitude for my life, for all that has been, for my evolvement, and for all the love, guidance and support that is always with me.
I especially give thanks for my constant companion Mother Earth, for her wisdom, her love, her healing and her holding and nurturing of my soul.

As the energies of what has been, disappear into the night, I take a deep breath and with my heart and my arms open wide, I commit to this moment, I am ready!
Ready to fly into the new, into a new year, into a new decade, into a new era.

As I breathe in, I welcome the 2020 Aquarian energies as they swirl through my being with so much light, carrying me gracefully and lovingly into the new. And so it is.

I wish you all love and light and peace in your hearts, as we enjoy the energies of this new year, this new decade, this new Aquarian era.

Love, Always ❤

Winter Solstice

IMG_20191222_234334_755

As the afternoon light fades
I take a walk with Mother Earth
On this Winter Solstice Day

My footprints they squelch
In the earth mixed with rain
Her river banks swollen
As her waters rise so high
Her current rushing quickly
With the clouds of the sky

Breathing deep I marvel
At the rain soaked trees
In their bark winter coats
They shiver in the breeze

The distant hum of traffic
Seeps through the coolness of the day
Many a dog owner quickly looks away
As their canine friends
Race through the sodden muddy land
With such wild abandon
Just because they can!

The birds are singing their sweet lullaby
As a squirrel scampers high, so high
Chased by the muddied wild and free
The canines cannot get up the tree!

I stop for a moment resting by a tree
Embracing the pause for reflection
Just the Earth and Me

Sharing a breath with the Earth
My heart open wide
Gratitude and love
Are my souls contented sigh

With thanks I acknowledge
All that has come to me
For the abundance of my life
For all that has truly been
For the dreams that I dream
For the present of now
For all that is coming
My heart does allow

As my breath it swirls
In the early evening light
I release my burdens
And watch them take flight
Swirling and dancing
They fall to the ground
Dissolving like fragments
Of the faintest sound

I whisper to the Earth
And she answers with my name
Her song is my heartbeat
The sun through the rain
Together we bathe in universal light
As she holds me close
In the falling night
Her waters are flowing
They cradle me so
As she carries me gently
To the knowing of my soul
I am ready! I sing
Breathing out to the night
Leaving a trail of Solstice
Sparkles of light

Love, Always ❤

Nature Healing Circle

IMG_20191201_012033_985

As the trees release their final leaves of the year, I have been drawn to create a healing circle for Mother Earth, with love and gratitude for all that she so selflessly gives us, for the wisdom and grace she showers upon us, for how she nurtures and nourishes us, and continually holds us, cradling us in her arms with such love.

As we give thanks to our Great Mother through this circle, her message is strong as we head into the winter months. She urges us to look at the trees, yet, do more than just look, really ‘see’ them, notice despite how exposed they are without their canopy of leaves, they stand tall, unafraid to show their strength, their truth and the beauty of their core.

Mother Earth encourages us to stand tall too, showing ourselves and our truth to the world, without fear, or resistance or the need to hide ourselves. Now is the time to allow our lights to really shine, to help heal the world.

Light streams from this circle, right from Earth’s crystal core, in her continuous love and healing, and as we breathe it in, let us give light back to our Great Mother, by committing to step forward and shine, to work with her, to heal our beautiful planet and to see her as the example of growth, of nurture, of courage and of love.

With love, please enjoy this healing circle. As you gaze upon the image, take a moment to connect with your heart and the heart of the Earth, giving thanks as you do, then allow yourself to absorb her loving healing light as you breathe in. And as you breathe out, send your own love and healing light out into the world, in doing this, we create momentum for a beautiful endless circle of giving and receiving.

The crystal in the centre represents Mother Earths crystal core. The lights surrounding the circle, represent the healing light we create for the world with Mother Earth, when we work with her from a space of love and light.

Love, Always ❤

Festival of Lights

IMG_20191027_114059_393

Today we begin the celebrations of Diwali – the festival of lights.✨

How wonderful is it to consciously celebrate the lights in, and of our lives!

It is often so easy to get swamped in the darkness and difficulties that we face, so much so, that sometimes the light within us has no room to shine out. Yet even in these moments, our inner light never extinguishes, it keeps burning, patiently waiting for the moment when we will connect again, the moment when we choose to allow our light to shine.

When we consciously choose to allow our inner light to shine, we start to notice the beautiful light that surrounds us. The sun that constantly streams down, bathing our beautiful planet in light every day. The universe mirroring our own light, we start to notice the more we allow ourselves to shine, the more universal light floods into our lives.

We begin to see the light everywhere, in everyone and everything. What used to seem flat, lifeless and dull, becomes alive with light, from the rhythmical swaying of the leaves on the trees, to the diamond sparkles of light dancing on the ocean, to the light shining out of the eyes of those we love, to our own light when we catch a moment of our reflection.

Yes, light is everywhere, Always.
The most magnificent light is our own unique light, the light within us.

I invite you to consciously choose to shine, shine so brightly that in doing so, you light up the rest of the world.

And so it is.🙏☀✨

Love, Always ♥

Earthly Healing Circle

IMG_20191005_210845_960

Hello beautiful souls.

One of the ways I enjoy connecting deeply with Mother Earth, is through recognising the gifts she selflessly bestows upon us. When we look closely, every day, in so many ways, she is reaching out to us with her healing gifts of colour, of texture, of movement, of sound.

Today, I have created this earthly healing circle which I have filled with Mother Earth healing energy and blessings. So, I invite you to take a few moments gaze upon this earthly healing, breathe in her grounding riches and you will receive the earthly healing you personally need.

Love, Always ♥

The Wilderness of My Soul

inCollage_20190911_204236147.jpg

This land of mine
Raging with darkness
The savage winds, they tear me down
My eyes, they stream with the dust of mortal-ness
Like the whipping sands, of the desert storm

This darkness consumes me
Like the turbulent rapids
As they batter me down
I fall to my knees
Blindly crawling, I search for something
Anything I plead, anything but this!

Surrender!
Is the whisper
That roars through my being
Taking me with her, as I let it all go

My eyelids flutter, with the notion of sunlight
Glistening through my lashes
Like the early morning dew
This light, this golden
Surrounding my being
Permeating my bones, warming them through

As I peel my parched self
From the stillness of the earth
Seeing for the first time, in awe of the view
There is a certain beauty in this wilderness
This wild untamed land of uncertainty
This land of mine

Tentatively
I invite in, the beginnings
Of hope, of possibility
Of trust, of belief
Of love, of oneness
And my heart starts to bloom
As together, we navigate through the lands of time
Through the wilderness of my soul

Love, Always ♥
The Blooming Heart
