Our True Self


As Louise Hay says,"The people in my life are really mirrors of me. This affords me the opportunity to grow and change. My life is a mirror. What do you see in yours?". This concept is very interesting. For the very things we love about others are inside of us, and the very thing we hate in others is reflected inside of us. In her book Remembering Wholeness, author Carol Tuttle teaches us that we must view life as a reflection of our deepest self. "Everything that we experience on the external world is a mirror… In viewing life as a mirror, we are able to see what we believe at a deeper level, things or emotions our conscious mind distorts and keeps hidden to us." Through others, we are being reflected. May we reflect our true self and who we want to become! Namaste

Peace Camp


My kids went to Peace Camp this week. They have had a great time! I really appreciate what they have participated in. They have learned cooperative games in which everyone learns and works together rather than competitive games in which there is a winner and a loser. There is a Global Village that they create crafts. My son made a bird house yesterday and my daughter made a zen garden...It is so easy to make. You use an old tin or shoe box and fill it with a couple scoops of sand. Find three small rocks and use a plastic fork. You can draw the yin-yang sign or the peace sign on the box. The inside of the box reads, "Peace is in(breathe in) Peace is out (breathe out) My mind is filled (breathe in) with peace (breathe out) My mind feels light (breathe in) and free (breathe out). Love the message of this camp. Love the idea of teaching these concepts to the rising generations! Peace is spreading the light and hope of a better tomorrow. It is the purest essence of love for oneself and for humanity.

Flouride-Free Toothpaste



It has been documented that there are many health risks with the flouride that we use in our drinking water and in our toothpastes. It is crystallizing our pineal glands. We made this natural toothpaste that is so easy to make! Here is the recipe:

4 Tbsp. Organic Coconut Oil
3 Tbsp. Baking Soda
1/2 packet of Stevia
Blend well. Next, add 10 drops peppermint oil



Quick tip: Strawberries are a great astringent. They can be mashed and used to brush teeth for children!

Dream

Daydreaming is a state between sleep and wakefulness. Studies have shown that active daydreaming increases the brain's problem solving skills. According to experts, daydreaming can serve as a temporary escape from the "real" world, relieve stress, improve attitude, and foster creativity. It allows bigger questions of life- career, family, relationships to be contemplated. Our future dreams can be created . The present can create a foundation for dreams to become a reality. It is like soul retrieval in which we find the parts of us that are missing. Our dreams can step into the present. Rather than being outside of us in the distant future, they can become a part of us in the present reality.

Meditation Gardens


This picture was taken at the meditation gardens in Leucadia,
CA. It was such a relaxing place with koi ponds overlooking the ocean. As explained by Walter Lubeck in his article, Reiki and Meditation, "[i]n Zen this state of mind is related to a picture of a pond, untouched by the wind, so the water is absolutely calm and therefore able to mirror the sky. Only the completely peaceful mind can act as a mirror for the divine. When you meditate,... you have chosen to encounter the divine." Just by meditating in a quiet place, you are able to connect to yourself and to your surroundings. Take a moment today to find your "Meditation Garden" to sit quietly and reach the stillness within.

Worry-Free Zones

My husband took this amazing picture at the beach. I have realized that the beach is a place to forget your worries. It is a calming meditation that relaxes the mind and heart. In this moment, you are able to release stress and everyday struggles. I believe there to be many worry-free zones that are most prevalent in nature: the mountains, desert, beaches, etc. The vibration of these places seem to be a bit slower. You can access the present with a little more ease. No wonder why these places are hot vacation spots!

The Crown Chakra



The crown chakra holds our connection to the Divine. When it is open when we clearly see our roles as humans in that we are are all connected and we are"one". It evokes a sense of inner peace. When our connection is strong, it stimulates the pineal gland which activates the brow chakra. It will give a deeper sense of inner knowing. Open this chakra by affirming: I am a Divine being of light. I am connected to the Divine (who I call God) and I am connected to humanity through loving acts of kindness and service. I am the light and the light is within you... When this light enters into the crown chakra, we are aware of our "light' and the "light" within others-NAMASTE (the God/Goddess within me recognizes the God/Goddess within you).

Wayne Cook Posture

Have your energies crossed today? Many peoples energies are homolateral. A simple technique is described by Donna Eden: Draw a large X on a sheet of paper and two parallel lines on another sheet. What one are you drawn towards more? If your answer is the parallel lines, your energies are most likely homolateral and if your answer is the X then your energies are most likely crossed over. It is important to cross your energies because both sides of the body need to communicate properly. A simple way to do this is the Wayne Cook posture. It is a way to center yourself when your energies are scrambled. It will allow greater focus.

Tiger's Eye


This stone received its name "Tiger's Eye" because of its golden brown and yellow stripes which literally resemble a tiger's eye. This stone is great for the lower chakras. It is a gentle grounding stone that will calm and center yourself when you feel scattered and unorganized. It enhances integrity, willpower, and courage. Anciently, Roman soldiers used Tiger's Eye in battle for protection. Its protection is similar to the "evil eye" pendant which wards off negativity. This mineral brings together the vibrations of sunlight and sand, which represent the energies of Sun and Earth. This is for sure one of our favorites!

A Soul Journey

We are all on a journey in this life to find out who we are and what we are. Our soul's journey is a destination to find out the greater part of our being. We can find this by trusting the inner wisdom and guidance that our soul is already aware of. I believe that we choose how difficult our life's journey will be. It is a matter of perception and choice. We can choose to create an easier path in life. Who am I and what am I? I am creator of light and love with divine potential. What we believe about ourselves becomes a reality. It is a continual process to be true to the nature of who we are. This is the journey of the soul.

A Peace Note


Peace is a condition that we all strive for. This peace is the absence of anger and fear. It is the gentle condition of the desire of the human soul. You can not reach an enlightened state without the journey of peace. Write a peace note today to any relationship that is suffering to transform anger. It will allow the higher power to work for you by surrendering pride. This will create peace of mind...
