A River By Any Other Name

Merging Energies - One Experience.

A river by any other name. . . 

Greetings Fellow Travellers,

N.B. In reading this piece you may feel a sudden urge to go out in Nature – all responsibility is yours!  hahaha!  Explore enjoyment. . .

Arriving at the riverside park early this morning, the weather was perfect.

Grass mown and short enough to walk upon, unobstructed.

Trees looking tall, vivid and naturally silhouetted against a deep blue sky.

Sky clear of clouds but dotted occasionally with birds coasting above on their morning rounds.

And the river itself.

I took a few minutes to become deeply present, connected and open to engaging in the peaceful surrounding before beginning my qigong session; trees swayed as a small stirring of the breeze began, rustling the leaves, skimming over the surface of the river and prompting wavelets across its surface, reflecting the sun on its rise. But in connecting more clearly & deeply, could sense the depths and strength of the river current as it approached high tide.

Like a silent conversation between my inner body and the river, I could feel a recognition, a mutual awareness from Self and from River, of the energy streams of both; chatting, conversing, discussing and relating in a way that balanced and harmonised.

Mind became stilled, as did the body in appreciation of the scene and further opening to the natural surrounds, integrating. Breathing regulated into a slow steady rhythm, connecting even more deeply to the river’s power & current.

Then to be blessed with even a few moments which turned into several minute’s worth of qigong myself and then shared with company, was irreplaceable and engaged the flow of Self with Nature in the world at large amidst the Grand Scheme of All Things - healing, empowering, loving.  With feet firmly planted, body open and moving gracefully, sensing the rivers of qi (chi) deep within, so too the rivers of Nature's qi flowing all around and the physical manifestation of that one nearby us. 

In this state, really becoming deliberately placed, centred, in a supreme world of flow, continuity, grace and belonging as one so small encompassed and included within the Divine Essence of Life. Life reflecting back at Life as rivers of qi within reflect rivers of qi without. Blessed we be. 

Enjoy engaging your Self in 

The Universal Journey.

Life Unfurls

As Autumn merges into Winter, in the grand scheme of things - 

 "On life goes. 

Things continue to unfurl 

as the new leaves of growth emerge 

from the branches of those whose Autumn leaves were released."

A Pinch of Cinnamon

14.5.2018

Spicing up the Universal Journey with yummy cinnamon for the onset of Winter.

Who doesn’t love the fragrance and taste of cinnamon? Not many people that I have found!

I will find any excuse to eat or use cinnamon in cooking: sprinkling on cereal, desserts or in curry dishes and salad dressings & also mixed in mayo on hot vegies as a warm dressing combo with citrus or curry powder. In hot or cold dishes and drinks such as spiced wine or warm milk beverages. Combined with citrus like orange creates a new level of deliciousness! There is also a form named Dutch Cinnamon which is yummy too!

It is also a natural assistant to balancing our blood sugar levels. And I find that if I substitute cinnamon for sugar in some foods or drinks, it is quite satisfying, not to mention warming for the system. I am no health expert, but I do know what has worked for me, so using your own discretion, they may work for you too.

I also use it carefully, as an essential oil and is found in a doTerra blend called On Guard as a great Winter immune system protector. I use this regularly especially in Autumn Winter and Spring. 

If using essential oils versions, here are a few tips for using this deliciously fragranced spice for good winter-time health, however please note: it is a very warming oil, so do not apply pure essence directly to the skin! And take care and pre-test or start at a smaller dosage at first for yourself. I might try the massage oil tonight.

(Info shared from doTerra thank you)

“Cinnamon is derived from a tropical, evergreen tree that grows up to 45-feet high and has highly fragrant bark, leaves, and flowers. Extracted from bark, Cinnamon oil contains strong cleansing and immune support properties. Due to its high content of cinnamaldehyde, Cinnamon should be diluted with doTERRA Fractionated Coconut Oil when applied to the skin and only one to two drops are needed for internal benefits.* Cinnamon supports healthy metabolic function and helps maintain a healthy immune system, especially when seasonal threats are high.* Cinnamon is frequently used in mouth rinses and gums.* Cinnamon has a long history of culinary uses, adding spice to desserts, entrees, and hot drinks.

• Put 2 drops in empty veggie capsule to maintain a healthy immune system.*
• Place 1 drop of Cinnamon essential oil in hot water or tea and drink slowly to soothe your irritated throat.*
• Put 2–3 drops in a spray bottle for a quick and effective cleaning spray.
• During your nightly routine, add one drop to two ounces of water and gargle for an effective mouth rinse.
• Dilute with doTERRA Fractionated Coconut Oil and create a warming massage for cold, achy joints during winter time.

Cold Diffusion: Use three to four drops in the diffuser of your choice.
Internal use: Dilute one drop in 4 fl. oz. of liquid.
Topical use: Dilute one to two drops with doTERRA Fractionated Coconut Oil then apply to desired area.”

Happy Cinnamonising on

How adorable is this image. 

A beautiful vision to engage in meditation as cradled, gently rocking and carried by Mare - the sea - beneath the golden sun. Rocking engages the primordial part of the brain that brings a nurturing to us, a solace and consoling of our emotions, calms our fears and returns us to our innate natural rhythm.

Greetings To You Lovely Evolving Souls.

Breathing Awakening Engaging and Expanding.

Take a pause in your day, right now, with your feet on the ground and your beautiful columnar spine undulating up your back to support your neck, head and shoulders – downwards to be encompassed by your hips that hold you and provide a space to sit, walk, protect organs and hold unborn life within women. Be grateful for that.

For a moment, really sense the breath entering and leaving your body. It travels in through your nostrils, down past your throat, on into your lungs. Inside there it enters the minute forms called alveoli which remind me of groves of trees. I love this comparison. . . as I love trees! Here microscopically, oxygen is swapped for carbon dioxide (just as trees do in reverse for us!), which has come via the bloodstream, then to be exhaled – out through the alveoli, up through and past the throat and out of the nose (or mouth).

Aahh a cleansing breath has been taken.

We are amazing incredible organisms full of complex Life processes; totally carrying on unaware for the most part of course, of the minute processes, functions and complex relationships happening within us!

Now for another moment, picture yourself as you awaken on any morning. What happens before you even open your eyes? You stir, muscles move a little, breathing changes, eyelids might decline to open at first! Hearing intensifies. And if you are in-tune and open to experiencing it just before the Sun rises – then you may feel a total body sensation which announces the arrival of the sweeping electro-magnetic field across the planet!

Aahh awakening! It’s not just about opening your eyes.

And then as you begin to move gently, breathe more strongly, hear more sounds and sense more of the outer world – you can do nothing but engage! Just by merely having senses awaken, engages them automatically, naturally. And then we decide, consciously, to engage further (or not! - if we roll over and pull the covers up!)

Aahh conscious engagement.

So the next phase we might enter is the expanding one as we move even more and engage our physical bodies in a big slow stretch – not just jumping up with adrenaline pumping un-readily into our systems before we have properly engaged our senses! No, a leisurely slow deliberate stretch to lengthen ourselves gently and open our beautiful spinal columns that I first mentioned, so that the fluid can flow freely and begin to access the parts of our bodies that need it for us to begin functioning better in our conscious awakening.

Aahh expanding!

So enjoy the experiences of your incredible body: breathing, awakening, engaging, expanding. Bringing your awareness to this is a form of gratitude in itself, for as you take notice of the details of yourself, the cells and mitochondria of your body can sense and reply, creating a stronger connection between your levels of being. . . from the physical to the energetic, working in harmony and aligning the equilibrium.

Blessings Be to You on

The Council of Light Visits.

May 5 2018.

Meditation - Council of Light Visits.

Hello Beautiful Souls on the Universal Journey.

As I begin to write to you of an experience of the Full Moon last Monday evening with my meditation group, I sense the descending energies of the Light Beings as they cloak around me.

We held a detailed session in which the group relaxed, connected, drew, wrote and ‘washed’ beneath the full end-of-April moon. We gathered, held hands and swayed gently in rhythm as we were uplifted by her vibration beneath her dappled light as it beamed through the forest nearby.

As I usually try to end each gathered session with healing of the Earth and Souls, it is at this time of unified intention from the group, that Higher Beings gather closer and I feel their presence more acutely. And so it occurred on the last full moon.

It is in and because of this unified energy space that Visitors are attracted from the Higher Realms to assist, guide and answer our questions.

Firstly asking the group –“Are there any questions?” – their presence is tangibly noticed and reinforced as discussion develops. It is a wonderful humbling and empowering time for us all when we can drop any questions whatsoever upon our Visitors. But as it arrives, there is often a spellbinding blankness of the thinking minds as to just what questions there are to be asked! Haha! This is not un-usual, until the group warms up in the discussion and a “message’ is prompted by one participant to begin the flow of information.

What amazing enlightening information, validation and confirmation we can all gather from this conversation with another dimension! Detailing and empowering concepts for us.  How wonderful it all is. And what beautiful clarifying images I see in the visions they give me to explain to the group.

Most notably, that I will share, was the account of how we, as our vibrations rise during certain aligned group meditations, are noticed and attract attention to ourselves in our conscious desire to evolve and heal ourselves. The attention is of course from the Higher realms, not the lower - as per always. Our lights shine and vibrate through to the finer dimensions where it is then decided to contact us in session. This was a very interesting account to be shown and as too was the vision of our light particle bodies resonating with our current Mother Earth's light crystals.

Finally, as they are reluctant to give themselves a ‘label’ – and I quote from their amused tone: ‘as all humans seem to need one!’ But they offer themselves as The Council of Light. And as I sense their presence more profoundly in that state, it is not of a concern to me about exactly who they are at any time - I just know they are here for me, us and the highest good!

So we never know, and I do not try to predict just when a visitor, or group of visitors will present themselves. And I have learned never to underestimate their present energy or knowledge shared with us. Unfolding of more detail often follows within our conscious minds after their visits! But as always and no doubt several aspects converging on the night, or day, pave the easier way to communicate.

Love and blessings to you all on

The Universal Journey.
