Quote of the Day - Sunshine

"Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them, and try to follow where they lead. "

Crystal Focus - Clear Quartz

Clear quartz, sometimes known as Rock Quartz, is by far the most versatile and multidimensional stone of the mineral realm. Three of its key properties are energy amplification, programmability and memory. Unlike most other stones which carry certain relatively fixed properties, clear quartz can be 'programmed' by one's focused intention to assist one in achieving virtually any goal in inner or outer life. Sitting in meditation with a piece of clear quartz, one can visualize an image of one's intention or desired outcome within the crystal, and this will have the effect of powerful psychic amplification.

After such a session, or especially if one practices the same programming repeatedly with the same crystal, numerous inner and outer events will seem to conspire synchronistically to bring about the manifestation of one's wish. Experiments with this type of intention amplification are likely to yield surprisingly powerful results and can also assist one in coming to fully believe in the invisible power of focused intent.

this is my beautiful cluster which lives in my working space

Clear Quartz is a stone of Light, bringing heightened spiritual awareness to whomever wears, carries or meditates with it. It provides a clear corridor for the higher vibrational frequencies of the realm of Spirit to be transmitted and translated into the world of physical form.

Clear quartz can be used for almost any metaphysical purpose, including healing, consciousness expansion, chakra opening, communication with guides, past-life recall, interdimesional travel, polarity balancing, enhancement of meditation and dreaming, attracting and sending love, generating prosperity and just about anything else one might imagine.

If you would like to know more, please see The Book of Stones - who they are and what they teach by Robert Simmons and Naisha Ahsian for a more in depth description of the qualities and properties of clear quartz. If you don't already have this invaluable book you can purchase it from the following link.

Bit of a bumpy ride!!

Oh wow isn't that just gorgeous!!! Very inspiring, makes me want to rush out and find an old wheelbarrow.

Don't know about you, but there are some internal struggles going on at the moment in my world. Seems like everything is being challenged on some level and I'm not sure I am handling it very well. The business of 'just being' is quite difficult when outside influences work against your own 'flow.' So how does one find that delicate balance? What do you do when the universe seems to be pushing you in one direction, but you yourself want to go in another? I guess if I was to listen to myself, the advice would be to 'just go with the flow' and see where it takes you, you never know what you will find behind that newly opened door afterall. Simple enough except that it is very hard to quiet that little voice within that keeps yelling 'No, we don't want to go there'!!! And so the struggle begins! Hhhmmm.............

In an effort to sort through all of the above I went to my favourite Astro blurb to see what was going on, and sure enough it was all there in black and white. We are currently into the ride of the century, or some such thing, which is bringing up all sorts of 'stuff' for us to deal with and a state of extreme busy-ness. Well yes, I would agree with that just going by my own efforts over the last couple of weeks (sorry for the lack of blog posts, just can't keep up with myself lately). If you would like to check it out for yourself follow the links below, readings for the last two weeks.

Apparently we need to put on our seat-belts and ride right into it all. So I guess I will do just that and wait and see what transpires. Some meditation and quiet time might be in order, assuming we can find the time that is, and the Psychic Expo is on again in Adelaide next weekend. Looking forward to that and having the old aura photo done again, that is always a great thing to do as you have a beautiful, colourful depiction of exactly where you are at in terms of life, the universe and everything. It is truly amazing how much they vary from year to year, well mine do anyway. Some people are so calm and balanced that they don't alter that much. Obviously there is just too much going on inside this person for that!! Now I might go out into the garden, soak up the plant vibes and see if I can come up with a suitable wheelbarrow to make that beautiful planter up above. Walking and working in nature is always peaceful and relaxing, maybe I might even calm the storm that is brewing on the inside!!! Have a great weekend :)

Friends

Just got this via email, so I have no idea of the real source, very gorgeous!!!

Every day - at the same time - she waits for him...

He comes... and they go for a walk

Wouldn't it be great if we all had friends like this...no words needed...they just intuitively recognize the value of each other in their lives and act accordingly.  

What you need.

 Love this, we have all seen the for sale ads on the supermarket boards with the phone numbers underneath, this has taken it to the next level. So grab what you need for the day and head out feeling great.

Quote of the day - work!!

"Be regular and orderly in your life, so that you may be violent and original in your work. "
Gustave Flaubert

 

Oops, I have been absent yet again, doing just what I have quoted, being regular and orderly in my life!! Domestic goddess come on down, I can't remember the house being so neat and tidy, the garden is flourishing as we have been planting veges every weekend and tending to all the potted people dotted around the house. Looks like a new place, woohoo!! Where has all the energy come from??

And from all that activity and being regular and orderly, the brain has come up with some new creative ideas, just like the quote. Perhaps 'violent' isn't the right word, but original fits my new line of Wild Child Rustic Wraps available on Etsy. Etsy is just the greatest place for finding fab hand-crafted goodies of all descriptions, plus all the bits and pieces you need to create your ideas. It is such an inspirational place and I think I probably spend way too much time in there finding treasures and being inspired!!
