Beltane Musings....

I cannot really believe Beltane is almost here again and yet there is so much around us to delight in: bluebells raising their chalcedony heads from lush grassy banks and woody shades; the hawthorn starting to blossom after the snowy bursts of Blackthorn; wild garlic on every back and hedgerow....what a blessing all this flowery beauty is all watered by the rains which seem to have been rather abundant in Cornwall in April. I seem to have been absent from blogging for a while....I have been out and about as usual enjoying nature and also practising more healing from home which is beneficial to my state of inner peace and calm.I have also been doing more one to one work with children both emotional healing and teaching. Beltane is a time to really appreciate the beauty of mother Nature all around us fertile and free...especially in these recession driven times when so much is more expensive a walk can be a great meditation and salve and costs nothing especially if you can walk out from your own front door to appreciate it and be. It is also a time of love and lust for life as we walk the dragon ley lines and connect with source energy: the firey dance of delight in all the blessings we have been offered and jumping the Beltane fire, symbolic of the shift from winter to summer as well as a cleansing and purification of the land and home. This is a time to gather with others and to share the warmth of community and friendship.Appreciate every day the blessings the Goddess has bestowed upon you however small and as you sow these seeds of gratitude and love in your heart so will she bless you in an abundance of ways bringing more love into your life and more healing. This is a time to come from the heart chakra and be centred in 'heartfelt' being, letting love for your fellow beings guide you on your path and flow through your body.... let your heart be your guide..xxx

Imbolc Blessings

I celebrated Imbolc with a number of walks by streams and to nearby wishing wells. It was lovely to enjoy the clear blue skies and crystal light of the sun as it lit the newly budding branches. I was struck by birdsong and water flowing.By green shoots and ice on frozen puddles. By muddy paths and the freshness of the air. This time of year always holds special meaning for me. I love the chrisp air and the sense of the earth awakening after a long winter sleep. This year I am also appreciating the return of my sight. I have had a reoccurence of a chronic eye condition which has left me feeling very scared and vulnerable....I prayed to Brigid for healing and lit candles in her memory as well as asking for healing at the wells. Luckily my prayers were answered lst Friday the day after Imbolc when the grey over my right eye started to clear again. I do not know when this greyness will strike and as I am reliant on my right eye having lost my left eye central vision to PIC a rare eye condition I am thankful for the sight I have. Seeing clearly is a most precious gift and one I cannot take for granted...this is a time for rest and healing.

This time of year is a time to wake up and start to appreciate the outdoors again...to hear the faint music of spring awakening in the land and experience the final frosts and sharp cold of winter. There is hope in the darkness as the evenings gradually grow longer and the sun grows in strength. We welcome Brigid to our home and hearth to bring in healing, inspiration, warmth and fresh ideas. We sow the seeds now for the year to come and decide what dreams of winter we would like to awaken and nurture into life.

I am aware of the need for healing on this earth and the need to use my healing gifts more consciously in my daily life. As space is cleared in my home ....spring cleaning....I am open to new fresh ideas and to welcoming Brigid's gifts of healing and inspiration into my home.

Blessed Be xxx
