Colouring Through

Writing. An old flame of mine that I met when I was ten years old. I thought we had drifted apart...for years we fought and I walked away far too many times. I tried to carry on without it but couldn't imagine what I'd do in life if it wasn't there to keep me hoping.

So I've made a stronger commitment and decided to rekindle the love. I have to get it back. We are meant to be...

'I See it All in Rainbows' is the title of my book in progress; a collection of poems about spirituality, colours, psychadellic visions and soulful ideas...here's one as a preview:

Fresh in bloom
For you
Like flowers we are
Sprouting
Colouring Through.

Upon your bed we lay
Shaken
Hoping to be pretty
Smiling
Until the spotlight has moved.

The Misty Light of Healing

Today I felt marvellously pleased after performing a healing on a very stressed cat. He was malting copiously and looked up at me, longing for a fuss. I sensed he wasn't very happy and comfortable so I sat on the floor next to him; he rolled over, showed me his belly and told me that he wanted some love and a treatment for his physical condition.

I am no reiki expert; I didn't even have this method in mind when I stimulated my palm chakras by rubbing my hands together; he seemed to ask me to do it. I worked my way down his body; my fingers tingled and my palms heated up. He seemed so pleased for the attention and stayed still as if he was locked in the same focus that I was; we meditated together and my hands worked on the base of his tail where a suspicious lump seems to have appeared. My palms began to burn then; the power surge in my fingers was getting stronger...it felt right to call upon Angels...I asked them to be with him, to help him for his highest good; if anything just to keep him company and be there with him...if they could soothe him that would make him very happy indeed.

I was dizzy from energy drainage. My palms pulsated for roughly twenty minutes after and when this beautiful male cat sat up, he gazed at a corner of the wall just above him. Down came this streak of misty light, two of them in fact.

We gazed at them together, the energy in this mist vibrated rapidly. Peace washed over me and the cat himself I believe...because afterwards his eyes brightened and he meowed at me in gratitude. The air in the room relaxed and so did he...I thanked the Angels for being there for him as I had asked...I knew that I had done the right thing for him.

What an honour to spend such a special moment with a cat, my familiar, my kindred.

The New Moonchild Garden

I have been busying myself the past week with making fresh new candles and oil blends for The Moonchild Garden. I have granted it a revamp and I am now pleased to inform customers that I now make soy wax wood-wick container candles; the wood-wick crackles like a campfire...isn't that lovely for those of us who can't access one?

A fresh new shop is appearing very soon on The Moonchild Garden's very own website with details on all blends. A link will certainly follow soon.

There will be an alchemy section of the site so you can order your individual blend; I'll make it, beautify it and send it just for you!

I'm thinking of calling this one 'St. Clements'; as you've probably guessed, it smells of oranges and lemons!

A cheery zesty fragrance made just for rejuvenation, brightness and motivation...there's plenty more sprouting in the Garden...make sure to come and see...

Infinite Ball of light

This painting was done by my most beloved kindred, Jamie. We were taken by the idea of painting mandalas, the Eastern talismans of healing; symbols that project the power of the self.

Mandalas are traditionally geometric in shape and patterned with particular colours that reflect the self and the healing colours required for the individual.

This painting is an expression, not a mandala in its traditional form, but I look at it and it heals my soul in its own little way. The yellow ball churns in the core of me, like my solar plexus chakra; it spirals into oranges and reds.

Tones of solar colours; the element of fire; the significance of light reminds me to embrace my solar energy, that eternal flame that I need paired with my lunar energy to restore my balance.

Orange gives us confidence and creativity, a dose of red brings us passion and the brightness of yellow stimulates our sense of self-worth and empowerment.

As I look at this painting, not only does it bring me great joy and pride to know that my love expressed such beauty in colour but it also reminds me of that solar power that I must remember to absorb and store within.

In grey-washed times, through crying window panes, it is important to hold onto that infinite ball of light...

Sulis

The Goddess Oracle is a stunning deck of divination cards that are ilustrated and interpreted with goddesses from all pantheons and cultures. This beautiful illustration is of Sulis, the Ancient British Sun goddess of illness/wellness. She represents healing and has a shrine in Bath, England.

Sulis says that when we are in a time of illness, it is time to direct energy inward, when we are in a time of wellness we must project it out.

This deck of cards comes with a book that gives the meaning to each card along with a lovely poem for each goddess as well as the mythology and meditation that corresponds to the deity.

The Sulis meditation is so comforting and full of beautiful imagery. It takes you deep into the root of a tree, along a stone path with plants on either side. You follow the light and meet Sulis at the other end and she takes you to her healing bath where you emerge yourself in the water where you feel refreshed, invigorated and recharged.

All meditations in The Goddess Oracle cards guide you into a space and time where you can mend whatever it is that is blocking your fruitful path.

Seek strength from the ancient deities and embrace your inner goddess.

Colour Me Happy

How to Heal with Color by American author Ted Andrews, provided me with great insight into the various ways in which we can use colour to highten our vibrations, to balance our moods and open up creativity as well as other numerous therapeutic activities to heal our bodies and minds.

By meditation, temperature rising and lowering, colour breathing and mandala colouring, we stimulate our energy centres, which one could also refer to as the chakras, therefore activating our highest charge through the wonderous properties of light! In fact, this therapy is so vibrant and invorgorating, there is simply no reason why it wouldn't have a positive effect; it truly is a complimentary therapy that doesn't get enough attention. Colours of the Soul is an excellent website to find out more and I am delving deeper into this maginificent therapy and practice to further my own experiences and developments to become a practitioner. I took this mini colour test provided by Colours of the Soul and the reading was certainly spot on as it simply confirmed my own thoughts about my new spiritual pursuits. Have a go...embrace the colour in your life...

Recall

Primate, Tibetan Monk, Tribal Hunter, Greek Philosopher...I do not speak of the past but of the eternal now...the eternal soul of us all that cycles through what we know as evolution.

Awakening Far Memory, a delightful set of cards that one cannot put a price on for its ability to aid us in unlocking memories of our everlong conciousness. A regression reading kick starts the path to erasing century-old imprints on the psyche...amazing what we come to discover about ourselves that have always been - all apart from this protective casing that we call our body.

This is not fortune telling. This isn't a 'what could have been'. It is a nudge to recollect past lives; memories that have been scarred by the trauma of death and even birth that has caused us to forget it all.

I've had wonderful reflections over the past week that have made me see, feel and hear...clairvoyance, clairsentience and clairaudience...whatever you wish to call these gifts that every one of us has...we have the ability to piece it all together to enable us to remember it all in the next life.

I have recently experienced this joy of remembering and reflection with my closest kindreds and all I can say about this phenomenal practice is: what a joy to know what our conciousness has stored for us during this space and time and what excitement it gives to think of what we can hold onto for our future journey.

-a spark has ignited and this is just the beginning to my personal pursuit of knowledge.

The Etheral Body

My mind throbs after taking in so much overwhelming information about Astral Projection. I have just finished reading The Enigma of Out-of-Body Travel by Susy Smith; a second hand book given to me as a gift by my beloved.

This book delivers incredible encounters from expert projecters to the most sceptical of people, all who have experienced a time when their etheral body left their physical one. It is a subject which has fascinated me since my teen years and having recaptured the interest, I feel a pull towards it.

Personal experiences of loved ones have been shared with me and how lucky I am to say that I know this amazing ability is accessible...thought and control are the driving forces of this practice and the rewards of this can only be release and joy; your soul travelling through your home, a new city, the universe; obtaining knowledge on your adventures...all we can ask of ourselves is to return to our peaceful armour that lays still where it was left for caution is to be taken when attempting Astral Projection. Like a car left running without the driver, the engine will eventually cut out. But isn't it only fair that we show our etheral body the world and beyond as it is sealed in our physical vehicles for lifetimes? Of course there are other ways for us to wander onto other planes...this is just a glimpse.

-Travel safe.

Polarity

She is bound to neither and free of none
Held by the sky; dangles from a star.

A toe kept on the Moon; a fingertip kept
on Earth's ground.

Her eyes weighty, like clouds before
waters break.

Waning and Waxing

As Lady Moon hides in her time of waning, I am using this time of Aries to take a plunge in my projects; putting the pro-active, head-on nature of the Ram to make candles.

I have been blending natural soy wax with healing oils, re-juvenating oils and grounding oils to make personalised recipes for the needs of close individuals; and yet that won't be all. As we move into my sign of Taurus, I will be channelling my bull vibrations into charging ahead with creativity to make plenty of new blends. These solid pillars will be looking for homes to burn their bright beams of love and lunar light to those who desire to receive them.

For now, they are happily residing with me in The Moonchild Garden...meet you there?
