Birthstone of May

Mon, 03 May 2010 08:48:00 -0400

Emerald is the stone which most purely represents the energy patterns of the activated heart chakra. It helps one to live and act from the heart level, offering unconditional love and compassion in one’s daily life and relationships, opening one to receive love from others and clearing the channel for one’s own connection with Divine Love. It can help one to heal “heartbreak”, and to remember to give love to oneself as well as others.

An open heart allows the cornucopia of universal blessings to flow into one’s life, and this is why emerald is know as a stone of prosperity. Abundance describes one’s ability to receive the gifts of Spirit within all life’s experiences. It is a sense of opening one’s life to the Divine and embracing all its manifestations with gratitude.

True abundance is knowing that all is provided and that there can be no lack in reality. It helps one move forward on the path “with heart”.

It brings an energy of hope, encouragement, gentleness and abundance. It brings a freshness and vitality to the emotional and physical heart. Emerald encourages one to trust the Divine in ALL things and to surrender one’s personal version of what reality “should be”.

Live Mindfully

I am ready to live in conscious awareness.

I choose to be mindful of my thoughts, my actions, and my reactions.

I pace myself in my daily activities so that I don't over-commit andtherefore prevent myself from completing any of my goals in a thorough,complete way.

I give my full attention to the person I am with, the food I am eating, and the task I am doing.

I make time for myself to relax and do things I enjoy.

I connect with my body, mind, and soul to listen to what it needs and thus nourish and nurture myself.

I am one with all that is.

And so it is.

THE LADY'S PRAYER

Sun, 25 Apr 2010 09:39:00 -0400

The Earth is my Mother.

I shall not want.

Her hand brings forth the green pastures.

She tarries within the still waters.

She leads me in fields of fruitfulness for my Glory.

Yea, as I walk through the summer of life unto death,

I will not be afraid, for You are with me.

Your womb in the earth will enfold me.

You prepare a harvest before me and bless my home with children.

You fill me with milk and honey.

My cup overflows.

Surely, goodness and beauty will nurture me all the days of my life,

and I will become part of the earth forever.

Gladdening Nourishment

Children appreciate all that is silly as a matter of course. Their grasp of humor is instinctual, and even the smallest absurdities provoke joyous gales of earnest laughter. As we age, this innate ability to see the value of silliness can diminish. Work takes precedence over play, and we have less incentive to exercise our imaginative minds by focusing on what is humorous. When we remember childhood, we may recall the pleasures of donning funny costumes, reciting nonsense poems, making up strange games, or playing pretend. This unabashed silliness nourished our vitality and creativity. We can take in this nourishment once again by giving ourselves permission to lighten up and be silly.

Too often we reject the wonderful silliness that is an inherent, inborn aspect of the self because we believe that it serves no purpose or is at odds with the grown-up culture of maturity. We play yet we do not lose ourselves in play, and our imaginations are never truly given free reign because we regard the products of irrational creativity as being valueless. Yet silliness itself does indeed constitute a vital part of human existence on a myriad of levels. Our first taste of ethereal bliss is often a consequence of our willingness to dabble in what we deem outrageous, nonsensical, or absurd. We delight in ridiculousness not only because laughter is intrinsically pleasurable, but also because it serves as a reminder that existence itself is fun. Skipping, doodling, and singing funny songs are no less entertaining than they were when we were children. We need not lose all interest in these cheerful and amusing activities, but to make them a part of our lives we must be ready to sacrifice a little dignity and a lot of fear.

It is precisely because so much of life is inescapably serious that silliness should be regarded as a priority. Through the magic of imagination, you can be or become anything; a photographer, a professional athlete, a dancer, a pilot. Whether you take hundreds of silly pictures, revel in the adulation of your fans as you make the winning catch, boogie down rock-star style in front of your bedroom mirror, or turn your desk into a cockpit, the ensuing hilarity will help you see that lighthearted fun and adulthood are not at all incompatible.

A great deal of depression can be shifted by changingthe food you eat.
