HAPPY HALLOWE'EN/SAMHAIN!

I just love celebrating Hallowe'en/Samhain (it must be the Irish witch in me!) I love to decorate the house with the spooky bits and pieces I have collected over the years. My favourite witch swings from her broomstick in the centre of our living room window over the pumpkin.

Tonight I must get a bag of mini-treats for the kids that come trick or treating (last year no-one knocked on the door and I was very disappointed!) I have so many yummy recipes to choose from to make Harvest/spooky treats for me and my lovely husband.

Whatever you are doing, I hope that you have fun and find time to celebrate the time of the year when the veil between the worlds is at its thinnest. What better time to communicate with our friends in the other realms, to honour our loved ones who are now on the other side and to celebrate with the loved ones around us? (Being Irish I don't need much of an excuse to celebrate anything!).

Below is a little poem I wrote a few years ago inspired by Rowan, one of my favourite trees:-


Samhain / Hallowe’en

Rowan berries burning bright.
Witches fires in the night.
Long black fingers weaving spells.
Cauldrons full of spicy smells.

Magic potions, sacred brews.
Healing secrets just for you.
Hubbling, bubbling, frothy lot.
Chanting spells into the pot.

Skirts and shawls twirl and dance.
Owl casts a knowing glance.
Sisters in black gather around.
Black cat utters welcome sounds.

The alchemy is at last complete.
Still now, happy dancing feet.
Sharing cups of Sacred Brew
Cheers! Happy Samhain to you!

ASCENSION SYMPTOMS October 2007

Lightworkers and Sensitives found the build up to the Autumn Equinox quite hard going and many manifested illness on the physical level. Also many have been experiencing lower back ache. Some have had diarrhoea-like symptoms which only last a day and then are gone, all part of the great clearing out and all related to the Base and Sacral chakras. Sit quietly and attune to these chakras and ask them what is this all about? You will find that you will be letting go of old stuff, stuff from the past that needs to be cleared out now. As usual, the Ascension chakra clearing leaves your chakras feeling wonderfully clean and energised afterwards and you feel more clear about what you wish to manifest now and in the future in those areas of your life.

The urge to clear clutter has come in quite strongly with the Autumn moons and the pressure from the Equinox to re-evaluate (as well as Mercury retrograde giving us the space and time to do just that). I have found that the change in my vibrational frequency has enabled me to long for a more clutter free Zen way of living. A way that is easy to maintain and enjoy. As you move away from 3-D vibrations and live more in the higher vibration, you no longer have the need for materialism and you lose the urge or need to keep buying ‘stuff’. You will find that you suddenly have the urge to get rid of at least half of your possessions, to lighten your load, to travel lightly on this new road you find yourself upon. Although it can be emotional at times clearing clutter (you are letting go of the past, people and memories from the past, as well as your past identity that is associated with those objects/belongings) it is worth it. The trap is to think there is something wrong with this and allow yourself to be seduced by materialism again as deep down it helps you to feel connected to the old and familiar giving feelings of safeness (which of course is just one big ol’ illusion). Trust the urge to clear clutter, trust the urge to want to live a more Zen, clean and clear way of life. That is the only way you can live when you live in the higher vibrations.

Physically people have been experiencing cold and flu-like symptoms again (although this could also be due to the change in Seasons), some have been experiencing dizziness and nausea without knowing why, headaches have been frequent and quite painful for some, and many have been experiencing aching bones and muscles. All are Ascension Symptoms as we try and adjust to the new dimension we are almost living and Being in. We are not quite there yet, the instability of 3-D land still has the ability to knock us off centre and drag us down. We need to keep linking into the higher vibrations as often as possible (as well as using essences and other vibrational tools to assist in keeping our vibrations high so that we remain open to receiving higher guidance). When you feel a bit off centre or down, just stop, take a breath in the heart centre and then go up to your crown chakra and pull in the divine white light of the higher vibrations. This will only take a minute and will instantly link you into the higher dimensions, in turn this will calm you down and help re-centre you. (Please note this is not a deep meditation-type exercise, it is a split-second reconnection that you do in the middle of a task or working day as often as you need to). If you are properly grounded and in your body doing this exercise will not cause you any problems (such as feeling light headed or ‘out of it’). It is essential that you remain grounded at all times at the moment and fully in your body, otherwise you are of no use to beast nor man! J

I have to say that meditation/quiet time is the best Ascension tip I know, particularly at the moment. It will help you to cope and stay calm even when there is complete chaos all around you. Eat properly so that you stay grounded (y’all know how I feel about the importance of grounding!) especially during these current times. Drink water to keep flushing out any stress hormones and to keep you calm and balanced. Don’t get sucked into issues that don’t concern you, don’t waste your energy, don’t get distracted by trivia or other people’s stuff. Remember to maintain your protection on a daily basis, there is too much stuff flying around in 3-D land and on the astral at the moment, and you certainly don’t want to absorb any of that.

Many people for some time now have been feeling a bit lost, as if they are a ship without a rudder and sail, drifting but not sure where. Others have lost their spark, they are finding it hard to put any effort into anything especially work. This is all part of the Ascension Process. Because you are operating on the higher vibrational level now and are attuned to the new frequencies, it becomes harder to operate in the denser 3-D vibrations. This is a temporary phase as you will receive direction and guidance about what to do and where to go next. The important thing is to allow yourselves to remain open to Spirit whilst you are in drift mode until you receive clarity about what is next. When you are in this phase you need to be gentle with yourself, control your mind (which will be conjuring up all sorts of nonsense because it cannot work out what is going on and keeps trying to fabricate reasons, all of which could distract you from the real task in hand), eat well, get plenty of rest and drink plenty of water to keep your emotions stable and flush out any toxins that may be building up through anxiety and/or stress.

Others have had moments of creative and energetic brilliance, which they have put to good use. Self confidence is on the increase as you embody who you now are and you feel so connected that you are lit up from within with love and brimming with confidence and purpose. The downside to this is the reactions of those still operating on a 3-D level. They had you in a box with a label on it, now suddenly you have come out of the box and are vibrant, radiant and confident. This makes them feel threatened and so they may try and attack you (on different levels) by lashing out or trying to undermine your confidence. Don’t let them pop your balloon or drag you down to their level. Your instinct may be to hide your light and climb back into your box – don’t you dare do that! You have worked so hard and cleared so much to be where you are today, you just get out there and let the world know who you are and shine, shine, shine!

Autumn Woman POEM

AUTUMN

It is Autumn
and all around me
things start to decompose.

I ask Autumn
to accept the parts of me
that need to decompose,
that need to be broken down.

Parts from my year
that I no longer need.
Parts I now need
to let go of.

Thoughtforms, judgements,
belief systems, neuroses.
These things no longer fit.
Time to disintegrate their grip.

And Autumn, ever gentle
sweetly takes them from me.
Pulling them into the
Earth Mother’s breast.

As simply and gently
as that.
No struggle or strain
to release.

Now in gentle decaying
slumber they melt.
Transforming likes leaves
into nutritious gifts.
