Powerful Intentions

A world of love and connection to anyone who finds there way musing over this blog in a moment of curiosity, Tonight while sitting listening to the rain from an apartment in Phuket, Thailand i got a spark of inspiration to share. My last post was written about 16 months ago.....I cant believe time has past so quickly and without a strong enough urge to tinkle out some letters here. In a very simplified nutshell i will quickly explain what i have been doing since my last post. I moved away from Edinburgh, in June 2011, to experience living outside my box. My lovely comfortable yummy box where i was surrounded by amazing people, opportunities and love. I spend three months traveling around sound England and Wales exploring the wonderful world of Wwoofing where i exchanged my energy and skills to work and learn with the earth for organic food and accommodation. And splendid it was. I then decided, even though my bank balance was feeling rather sorry for itself, to fly to New Zealand...lets just say my heart yurned for a new land. I spent 8 wonderful months Wwoofing, living, learning, loving and working around amazing people and during that time my visions synced beautifully with a lovely males who i now share my travel with. In love we trusted the universe to guide us and went to an Island not too far away from Australia called Vanuatu. This place was basically tribal until a few hundred years ago and the people still have that real honest un-corrupt love in their eyes. We lived with a tribe for almost a month which was extremely beautiful and challenging all the same. After Vanuatu we flew to Australia where we stayed and healed for a few weeks with friends and then jumped on another plane to south-east Asia. This is where we are still now....months later. Having seen parts of Thailand, Loas, Cambodia i look back and can't imagine being me without all this experience. To trust our heart to guide us is a very powerful thing.

So here i am. Still passionate about women's things, love, light energy, expanding, contracting, menstruation, creative yumminess just to name a few. What i really want to begin writing about is an intention. An intention of surrendering to creation. It has been a belief of mine for a long time now that certain things in our life require a little preparation and over the past months i have been preparing myself to become a mother. Now this may seem a little odd (and people always give me a puzzled look when i tell them this)....although in a loving relationship i am not married, i don't have an income, i don't have a house, im traveling and i am not yet pregnant. But from the deepest of my heart i KNOW that to wait to put off preparing to become a mother, because i don't yet have those things, would be absurd. So here i am living my life spontaneously and open and preparing to jump into parenthood and i want to share every step, positive and negative, easy and difficult, about preparing the body, soul and mind for the wonderful life changing event of parenthood before it has begun.

I will post as often as feels right about things i am actively doing. I will take my inspiration for people i have met and will meet, from books that suggest things and from my own intuition. I encourage feedback and suggestions too.

Warmth and Loviness

Finding Peace in Manifesting.

For a long time now i have understood the power of manifesting opportunities, poeple and things into my life. But only the other day did i realize how often stop myself from getting what i want. I identified this blockage as a voice that always said the same thing...

'not today, no there is nothing special about today'

I sometimes wake with the question....'i wonder if today something will happen, or i will meet someone special that will suddenly, and dramatically, make my life path alter?' And of course on many days up comes the voice and which overrides that sudden flutter of inspiration and i carry on with my normal day routine. Where's the growth in that?

Well this evening when dreaming up plans of an adventurous summer that same old lack of trust popped up again. However after my insight i have decided to do something different this time, so i drew a picture of the thing i was dreaming about. In my picture i have drawn a shelter made of straw and wood surrounded by thick tree's. My structure symbolizes a sanctuary beneath the sun where i am able to relax and heal in nature. The pillows show the comforting environment and the rose is my passion for love and life. I am the spiral like creature ooozing purple, red, orange and yellow which are the colours of the spiritual, base, sexual and social Chakras. All of which i am paying delicate attention to just now.

I know that when blockages over power inspiration i am living in a fearful place so i will take it upon myself from now on to be more mindful of when that is happening and to try a ritual or creative practice to challenge where the fear is coming from.

The Way We See

 Just walking into the kitchen i heard a snippet of a radio discussion talking about how we view ourselves and the world. The discussion was about not being able to change the fact of some but being able to change the way we perceive it. Interesting. This is something i have pondered about for a few years now. Ive not always able to put it into practice though. So lets observe a simple example....say we are really looking forward to an event (think of something important to you). Something we have been anticipating and been excited about for a long time. Then night before we come down with flu like symptoms. We're stuck! Flu can be so weakening that it requires you to stay in bed for at least a few days until most the badness is gone. What do you say to this situation? Do you moan? Do you get angry at yourself? Do you feel like this always happens to you? The facts are there...you can't go to your event and your so sick you can barely walk around. Pretty rotten! Well yes if you look at i from that perspective. There are, shockingly, other perspectives we might not take into account here. Perspectives that might have benefit to us in the long run. Here's just a few...

• it could mean you have a low immune system and this is your body telling you to pay more attention to your diet. Note: garlic and ginger are great immune boosters.
• it could mean you have pushed yourself too hard lately and a high stress level has suppressed part of your immune system causing you to not be able to fight off all those bad bacteria. Your body is telling you screw the event and take some time to relax.
• it could mean your energy zones (chakras etc) are off balance. Yet again your body is being clever and telling you to pay some attention to a different part of yourself. And possible change your lifestyle.
• it could mean that the way you perceive the events in your life isn't the healthiest way and thinking this particular event is something you 'had' to go to could possibly indicate your priorities need to be observered.

The way of thought i am talking about here does not indicate we are doing something wrong but possibly that there is a different more beneficial way of doing things. Isn't that our aim anyway with all other aspect of our life? My reason for raising this is a reminder to take a step back and not get so rapped up in the way we are and instead to observe ourselves and our bodies as intelligent with the ability to signal when things aren't quite going so well. Next time we feel like things aren't going well ask yourself two questions.

1. What is it that i need to pay attention to here?
2. What active things can i do to put this need for change into action?

As humans we can get preoccupied with demands of our society and news has it...western society isn't very well at preventing illness or maintain a state of health for that matter. I like the idea of a culture that takes responsibility of themselves more. Have a greater passion for well-being, harmony and health. These are my thoughts.
Warm thoughts and balancing energy.
 

The Wolf Women

La Loba

Good morning lovelies. Today i would like to talk a little about the wolf woman within us. After reading Women Who Run With The Wolves i was hooked on the idea that we all have a wolf woman inside of us purring and waiting in our subconscious ready for us to call upon her. Instead of giving you a detailed description of the book i am going to talk about what the book meant for me as i believe any woman who reads this book will hold a special place for her own individual wolf woman. 

My wolf woman is silent and beautiful, she is half woman half wolf. She has ancient knowledge and wisdom. The only way i can currently access her is if i sit and close my eyes in a meditative state and start to work through my power points. There will be many versions of power energy sources and mine have Taoism influence. There are three sometimes called Tan Tiens. Firstly above/in my head is a tree, which changes in image from blooming and barren. My tree connects me to knowledge, spirituality and the universe. Secondly are my two butterflies, which i can only feel in essence and never seem to be able to imagine what they look like in my minds eye. My butterflies represent my ability to heal myself and others, they hover and play around my heart. In my center (area where my stomach is) is my wolf woman, she is my action zone and she is extremely strong and wise. With great speed and agility. Sometimes my wolf comes out when i don't expect her to. When i'm anxious or fearful she nuzzles me to gently convince me she will keep me safe. When i'm bathing in hot water and my heart is booming out of my chest i seem to be able to feel her lavishing in the steam with me. I believe every women has a wolf woman inside of her whether she calls it a wolf or not. It can be your strength, your knowledge, your confidence, your inner wisdom, your love. Some time soon i would like you to sit with a warm drink and a straight back in a quiet place. Close your eyes and let the identity of your inner wolf come to you. Be aware she could take any form. Hold the images in mind and let them do whatever they like. Follow you own curiosity and imagination. She will guide, you can observe and sip tea. Getting in touch with your wolf woman can help you access a primal part of yourself. This is a great way to help you feel more connected to your strengths and help you see a bigger picture. So often we can get caught up in our daily lives and it can actually be a relief to kick back and absorb into deeper parts of ourselves. Have fun with your wolf woman and please share with me your experiences.  

Have a lovely day.
