For those of us in the Southern Hemisphere, the Winter Solstice took place a few short hours ago (21st June) at 1:32pm. This powerful time of year celebrates the longest hours of darkness. It represents the closing of one chapter in our Planet spins around the sun, and the opening of a new chapter. The “rebirth” of the sun holds for each of us a powerful energy for regeneration, renewal and self-reflection. Its life-giving rays shine into the dark, calling forth new life and new creations. Seeds that are buried deep within Mother Earth begin to germinate, and seek the warmth and the light of the sun’s rays. This is a beautiful time for self-reflection. So pause for a...
This past month I’ve been re-reading my favourite spiritual book, The Lost Teachings of Atlantis, and it has reminded me of the incredible power not only of our daily affirmations, but also of Mantras. So I had this fantastic idea to make today’s Affirmations blog all about some of the world’s most beautiful spiritual mantras. Intuitively pick a number between 1 and 9, and see which mantra and Young Living essential oil is choosing you today. Chant this to yourself, as you apply your essential oil. 1.

I’ve lived in Byron Bay for over 7 years, and one of the highlights of this region is its beautiful beaches. My favourite beach walk has always been the stretch from Main Beach to Clarks Beach, where I have a spectacular view of the Byron Bay lighthouse as I walk East, and the beautiful mountains as I walk West.What an amazing way to ground and connect with the Earth! I’ve loved planting my feet in the sand, breathing in the fresh ocean air, watching the antics of the amazing seabirds, and at times grinning from ear to ear if I spot a dolphin or whale, or any other unusual creature. Connecting with nature in this way is the perfect way...
In 2003 I took my first ever adventure to visit an aromatic farm. This farm was located in the north of Idaho, near a town called Saint Maries. Being reasonably remote, I needed to fly into Spokane (Washington), then drive 1.5 hours across the border into Idaho. I still remember the joy of camping under the stars, listening to the coyotes howling in the distance. There was something very magical about the energy on this farm. It had been the first aromatic farm established by D. Gary Young, the founder of Young Living Essential Oils. I still remember his story about one time when there was an insect infestation on this farm. He was told he’d have to spray the...
Today was a very powerful day for me. It’s almost five years since I separated from Noel, my husband of 19 years, and today was our divorce hearing. As with most endings, it hasn’t been an easy one for either of us. This week, I’ve been acutely aware of the power we hold within our Self. When so many things can feel out of our control, the one area where we remain sovereign is in our inner world, and our thoughts. These musings have inspired this month’s Affirmations. Intuitively choose a number between 1 and 9, and see which affirmation and Young Living essential oil is choosing you today. 1. When I feel a painful emotion, I am not seeing the situation...
