Blessed be the healers of the earth

-
Image
May all the healers of the earth find their own healing. May they be fueled by passionate love for the earth. May they know their fear but not be stopped by fear. May they feel their anger and yet not be ruled by rage. May they honor their grief but not be paralyzed by sorrow. May they transform fear, rage, and grief into compassion and the inspiration to act in service of what they love. May they find the help, the resources, the courage, the luck, the strength, the love, the health, the joy that they need to do the work. May they be in the right place, at the right time, in the right way. May they bring alive a great awakening, open a listening ear to hear the earth's voice, transform imbalance to balance, hate and greed to love. Blessed be the healers of the earth. ~ Starhawk, “The Earth Path”

The Norns

-
Image
How can one work with the Norns? If you were to ask me, my answer would unfold like this: Are not the three Norns, revered in ancient mythology, the beings who weave the destiny of gods and mortals alike? Urd, Verdandi, and Skuld—guardians of fate—craft the tapestry of existence: that which has been, that which is now, and that which is yet to come. In the grand design of the universe, everything is intertwined. If all is connected, then you too are connected to all. In my cosmology, a modern-day shaman communes with the energies within, tapping into the profound wisdom of their ancestors. Invite Urd to meld with your spirit and reshape your past. Embrace Verdandi, becoming one with the present moment. Or, channel the power of Skuld, weaving the threads of a future world through the transformation of your inner self. Though this inner journey is fraught with challenges, you need not walk it alone. Seek a shaman to guide you, to help you do the sacred work that only you can do. ...

Instead of saying...

instead of saying, "i know what it feels like", let's say "i cannot imagine your heartbreak". instead of saying, "you're strong, you'll get through this, let's say " you'll hurt, and I'll be here. instead of saying, "you look like you're doing well, let's say, "how are you holding up today?" instead of saying, "healing takes time", let's say "healing has no timeline". instead of saying, "everything happens for a reason, let's say "this must feel so terribly senseless right now". and when there are no words to say at all, you don't need to try and find some. love speaks in silences too. ~ 'words' by Ullie Kaye Poetry  ~ Art by Jennifer Yoswa

Navigating the loss of a parent

-
Image
I’m currently navigating the loss of a parent. My first. My (step)mom. And let me say, helping others with this process is waayy easier then walking myself through it. However, or shall I say additionally, looking through my own training notes has helped. And now I write/journal, to get my thoughts out. To get the memories out so I don’t forget. Lets go back a bit first. I have always found prayer the easiest way for me to “get things done”. Its an easy way for me to move energy. And when I was first introduced to the mala & Buddhist/Hindu/Tibetan chanting, I found even more comfort. I was by no means proficient or habitual about it. I have, & made, so many different versions of “mala’s”, I’ve lost count. I had even picked up the rosary when I found the book The Way of the Rose. Monday May 5 24, I grabbed my rosary while heading out to my lunch walk, a playlist on my go to music app for praying the rosary, and set off & prayed it, not knowing why. Remember, no...

Juneteenth

-
Image
I cannot, in good conscience, celebrate Juneteenth. Modern slavery is defined as when an individual is exploited by others, for personal or commercial gain. Whether tricked, coerced, or forced, they lose their freedom. This includes but is not limited to human trafficking, forced labour and debt bondage. And, slavery is the ownership of a person as property, especially in regards to their labour. Slavery typically involves compulsory work, with the slave's location of work and residence dictated by the party that holds them in bondage. Human trafficking is the 2 nd largest illegal trade in the world. Second only to weapons and higher than drugs. What does HT include, you ask? Sex Trafficking (think prostitutes. Most aren’t doing it of their own free will; though some are), Child Sex Trafficking, Forced Labor Bonded Labor or Debt Bondage (think a family “sells” their child for food to feed the rest of the family), Domestic Servitude (think immigrant/illegal nannies/maids-t...

Crystals for Coping with Pain

-
Image
  Long-term physical pain can make us feel as though our bodies are failing us, which can lead to feelings of worry, anxiety, or even sadness. Crystals can assist us in healing and moving forward, regardless of the type of pain we are experiencing. They can help us rediscover our divine nature and serve as a reminder that pain can sometimes be a catalyst for transformation, pushing us to grow, change, and let go of things that no longer serve us. On our  path  to healing, working with crystals can provide us with uplifting support and compassionate guidance. Using Aquamarine to Release Emotions Aquamarine is one of the greatest crystals for reducing stress and clearing energy since it has long been thought to have a deep link to the oceans, lakes, and rivers of Planet Earth. Aquamarine has a cooling impact on the body and can be useful for lowering inflammation and relieving pain because of its strong connection to the element of water. To meet the demands of our chaotic ...
