Hurricane Ophelia

We are waiting on Hurricane Ophelia here in Co. Leitrim at the moment. Very calm, even a bit of sunshine here so it is hard to anticipate what is forecast for us. Hopefully all will be well. It is at times like this that we go back to our basic animal needs of having shelter, feeling safe from harm and being protected. Namaste Everyone!

Certified Angel Card Reader

Although we have been reading Angel Cards for a number of years, we decided to refresh and up-skill recently.  And so, we successfully completed the Doreen Virtue and Radleigh Valentine “Certified Angel Card Reader” course.

Angel Oracle Cards are very loving, positive cards with uplifting messages.

Contact us today for more information or to arrange a reading in person or online or via Skype.

Sun Worship

I hope you are all making the most of the Sun wherever you are and whatever season it may be!
Not only do we boost necessary Vitamin D levels but just seeing the brightness and feeling the warmth of the Sun can boost our Serotonin levels thus balancing our moods and helping to reduce symptoms of Depression.
Here in Ireland today in the North West, we are having a beautiful sunny warm day, great for the Mind, Body and Spirit.
Enjoy!

Flower Power

Its that time of year again – window boxes.

Whether you decide to buy ready made boxes or make up your own, they really do add colour and vitality to the outside of your home, not to mention the therapeutic effects for you and anyone visiting your home.

This window box consists of Marigolds and Pansies.  I made it up myself using:

  1. Window Box – available in Discount Stores, Homestores or Gardening Shops.
  2. Compost Peat
  3. Set of 6 grown flowers ready to bloom
  4. Small trowel
  5. Water

So, about the therapeutic effects, well first of all just being outdoors itself and in the garden working with the earth and the fresh air is great for the mind, body and spirit.

We hear continuously about “Mindfulness”, well I know that when I was planting this box (and four others), I was most definitely in the moment.  I was even kneeling on the ground doing so and as such a lot of grounding took place.  It is all too easy to keep rushing and “too-ing and fro-ing” in our busy world today.  Gardening helps us to connect to Mother Earth.

Even if you are not able to or in a position to do any gardening, it is still possible to ground yourself very easily everyday.

Here is a simple exercise:

  • Stand (in your bare feet if possible) on the ground somewhere safe, indoors or outdoors, preferably grass or earth if you can.
  • Make sure you are standing up straight with your shoulders down. Arms and hands pointing downwards to the earth.
  • Close your eyes, imagine that you are a tall and proud tree, whichever type of tree reasonates with you – oak, birch, horse chestnut etc.
  • Focus on your feet, imagine that roots are growing out from underneath your two feet,  getting longer and longer, pushing their way further and further down through the ground and the earth below you.  Visualise them going all the way down to middle earth (very Lord of the Rings!) and then wrapping themselves around a very bright sparkling red crystal.
  • You will immediately feel yourself very stable and grounded.

Try this a few times, daily if you can and whenever you feel powerless or overcome by a situation.

Feel free to drop a comment on this post or contact us to let us know how you got on with the exercise.

My Crystal Collection

Here is a selection of my personal crystal collection so far!  They are stored in a plastic tray used for needlework!  I had tried to find wooden printers trays (as recommended) but am still on the lookout!

As you can see, I have a wide variety of colours: pink, clear, black, green, yellow and blue.  Over the coming blog posts, I will discuss my collection individually and what the various crystals are used for.

Malachite Crystal

Here is a Malachite crystal with candle holder.  Malachite is used in Seichem for drawing out the impurities in the body, cleansing the aura and stimulating the chakras.

Alongside it is a beautiful posy of wild flowers and vase created by Tracey Jean Yappa for the Wise Woman Weekend 2017.  This photo was taken of our Altar for the Crystal Workshop.

Wise Woman Weekend 2017

The Wise Woman Weekend 2017 takes place from May 5th to May 7th 2017 at Newgrange Lodge, Donore, Co. Meath.

The Theme for this years’ weekend is: “Passion, Purpose and Purity”

Geraldine will be facilitating a Crystal Healing Workshop on the Saturday afternoon entitled: Crystal Healing – Harnessing the Earth’s energy

Use crystals to help realise your life’s purpose and passion.

Crystals came from deep within the earth and some may have grown in caves or other places in the earth.  In this workshop we will use our wondrous location of Newgrange to pick our personal stone (crystal) and meditate, tapping into the earth’s magnetic field.   We will harness this energy to help us realise our life’s purpose and passion.

We will also discover more about crystals, their meaning, the different healing methods that they can be incorporated into and how they can help us in everyday life situations.

We will work both indoors and outdoors to utilize the power of our surroundings.

Click here to book your place.

We look forward to seeing you there!
