Waves of Consciousness & Full Moon

I am still eating garlic! LOL

So, I finished 2 weeks of 3 days each week on several cloves of garlic and felt fantastic...almost like a big spring cleaning on the inside. Today we are still in long weekend mode, but I plan to get back to doing another garlic cleanse again this week.

It was that beneficial - almost as if this healing food went deeply into my tissues and helped me sort some things out. But, it's been that kind of month so far as well. As if I am in the middle of sorting things out.

Right now it all appears to be at the brain level - perhaps a brain detox is the best way to describe the action of garlic. I have experienced in the past how my head would immediately clear and feel free of clutter - a definite opening up in the cerebral cortex. 

It is an awesome sensation of connectedness and clarity all at the same time.....

However, this weekend we decided to go all out and relax with feast meals and lots of goodies for the kids (well, us really!). And even a ceremonial fire last night to celebrate the full moon (Worm Moon - which draws worms up to the surface to feed the birds). 

I love this time of year, spring is all about life, spontaneous regeneration of physical matter with the earth coming into it's own - doing what she knows how to do best; LIVE. I always feel such a sense of hope and promise for the rest of the year to come.

Right now the energy of the earth feels settled as if she has reached some decision about herself - change is irreversible and imminent - it seems as if a higher level of consciousness has been opened up and is spreading like a mist over the land. 

It's actually an amazing part of the process of awakening that we are all witnessing.... when the earth does this, things will shift, change and move. Positive and spiritual 'Life' only responds to waves of pure consciousness. 

This is going to be a most incredible year of healing and rapid spiritual growth. Hang on everybody!

Life Is Gathering Around Us....


Change is in the air again today and there is always something new to be marveled at. One of the things that has become most important to me while walking this path – is to pay close attention to nature. It's everywhere!

And right now there is not a better time to be completely in touch with the world around us – it’s spring and life is right there in front of us. It’s hard to miss all the bright colours, the buds, the sprouts and the lovely looking flowers.

So….eat up! This is the best time of the year to get back into your body in a grounded, gentle kind of way. It’s also about new beginnings, the start of the year really is now – all of life seems to gather itself around us – forcing us higher.

If you have been enjoying your green nibbles from the garden in any way, your energy field is healing from the harsh winter spent inside as well as any long term damage from toxins and old self-defeating patterns.

Of course, all change starts with the energy around us (and within us) and these shifts will spill over into the emotional, spiritual and eventually physical re-patterning we have been reaching for.

All it takes is for our bodies to be shown a simpler, healthier and better way to live – or perhaps to find life again – and we are off, into that higher realm we have been dreaming of.

Is it any wonder when we speak of our dreams we refer to them in terms of how high they are, within our reach and lofty places….in order to raise up to where they are, we must work together with nature….

It’s a part of us we can no longer ignore – not if we want to walk further up this spiritual path.

Life Always Finds a Way


Today has been an interesting day to say the least. We never know these days what is going to come our way – and we have learned to just go with it as much as possible, but to not be passive at the same time.

It is always best to be actively involved in creating your life as you live it - even if you feel it is not your own - on some level, you are in control - or are struggling to regain control. Making decisions, dreaming and wishing are the best way forward...even if it takes some time to see the results.

I am happy to get up on these warmer mornings, however (LOL) and sometimes the sun is even shining, which is an added bonus. I have been wondering how much longer the entire country can hold out on such low Vitamin D stores.

One of the basics of life is adequate sunshine, not only for the peace, warmth and contentment it brings but also for those all important vitamins we cannot do without for very long. This year we are getting a little more sunshine and are hopeful for lots more. 

Being spring there is so much on my mind at the moment (garden, cheese, goats, fresh eggs and milk, growing children) – all of earth is coming alive and I want to be in tune with that energy. Actually most of us crave and sense the earth’s energy – that’s why being out in nature is such a healing experience for us.

One of the first things to be realized about the nature that is around us – is it’s abundance. The earth is rich with life – and what is so wonderful about this life is that where there is life there is hope.

Life always finds a way.

A Time Change or An Enforced Energy Shift....


Today is a fasting day – that’s a day to do some catching up on cleaning inside and outside. And so far it is going well. I was ready to get back into some day on/day off fasting after my 30 day parasite cleanse…which was tough enough!

The sun is also shining again for the second day in a row…this must be a record at the moment, but there is not a rain cloud in sight. I don’t even want to say it too loud, I might jinx it or something weird like that.

Either way, there is actual heat in the sun as well. It felt so nice to sit in a sheltered area yesterday and just soak up some rays after doing some gardening. It is not warm enough to go without a coat yet but hopefully that day is coming soon.

I remember as a child actually having the sense that summer would never come – the time and days (winter) seemed such a long time. Well, as an adult, time has always appeared to pass quite quickly…

Except this year. Right now – summer never seems as it is will arrive. The cold weather feels like it is here to stay and time is not dragging on, but it sure feels as if it’s dimensions have changed somewhat. I am just so much more aware of the time....

Perhaps time, as we know it, has changed – I mean the time went forward over the weekend. But what might that do to us on the inside? It’s a strange concept after all – if time goes forward outside, well then, it must also do this inside.

And what affect would that have on our internal body clocks? Are we banking the daylight or is someone else taking advantage of the extra light on our systems? Does this have a positive overall influence on our energy?

And what exactly does this mean for us….Hmmm. Time is such an interesting energy force on it’s own, when we alter or manipulate it, our energetic selves are also being changed.

Sort of like an enforced energy shift….I’m not so sure I like the sound of that! LOL And all of this deep thought from an ordinary fasting day.
