The more that we surrender and sink into our deeper spiritual nature, the more that we become aware of the “harmonies” around us. To start with, we have the obvious auditory harmonies. If we only choose to pause for a moment and listen, we’ll be exposed to the most magical symphony of bird songs, the pitter patter of rain as it lands like tear drops into puddles on the earth, the sound of the leaves singing to us as they dance in the wind, the creaking of the branches as they stretch their joints towards the sky, and the crickets and frogs serenading the twilight. Yet there’s another set of harmonies that is occurring for us - the Harmonies of...
Whenever I smell Patchouli essential oil, it carries me back to the sixties with the flared jeans and miniskirts, the paisley prints and sideburns. It has that luscious earthy tone which sits us firmly and squarely in our body, reminding us to enjoy the pleasures that life is offering us at every twist and turn. It’s an oil of spontaneity and naughtiness – one that encourages us to celebrate our unique and gorgeous self, in all its quirkiness….and to be proud of it! The last few days, I’ve been drawn to Patchouli as a fragrance. You know how it is - essential oils call out to us! I find I’ll go on a roll with one oil, and it will...
Who's the Fool? Day after day, alone on the hill,The man with a foolish grinIs keeping perfectly still;But nobody wants to know him,They can see that he’s just a fool,And he never gives an answer. But the fool on the hillSees the sun going downAnd the eyes in his headSee the world spinning ‘round. I’ve always loved that song by The Beatles. It speaks to me of someone who knows a whole lot more than the crowds who stand in judgment. As a society, we greatly underestimate the power of the Fool. Let’s explore what it really means, and why “Fool-dom” is one of the highest states you can attain….even greater than “Wis-dom”. In Medieval Europe and the Renaissance...
Who of us has not wondered, at some point in life, if we really are living to our fullest potential? That we are really experiencing all that we are capable of experiencing? Every human being has been given the capacity to live abundantly, without boundaries. But the scope of this freedom is too large for many of us to comprehend, so we shy away from the vastness of all that is possible and instead, we prefer to hide behind artificial limitations. And yet, the human Spirit was meant to strive and achieve great things. There is, in each of us, a still, small voice that tells us: “No. That’s not all there is to it. You were meant to...
In January 2000, I was invited to attend a special conference. 1,100 people from around the world flew into Dallas to attend a 4 day essential oil training with D. Gary Young, the founder of Young Living Essential Oils. It was there that I first learned the Emotional Clearing Technique, which I shared about in my last blog. Gary talked about his recent adventure in Egypt, where he’d visited the Temple of Isis on the Island of Philae. When he was there, one of the temple guards had approached him, and invited Gary to follow him. It took some persuasion – Gary had no idea why this guard had singled him out of the many tourists who were there that...
