The abundance has increased....

....more than I could have ever imagined, it is one of the most exciting experiences I have had pleasure in being part of recently.  And you may be asking what is exciting about abundance?, well when I say abundance many of you may be thinking "money" but this is not what I am referring to, however money kind of comes into the story but not in having it or spending it but actually in how much I have saved.

So here is the thing, how many of you can say that you have been out and got some fresh air and excercise in beautiful natural surroundings, where there is only the sound of birds along the pathway, where the trees have a certain "presence" and where silence encaptures you from time to time, the air is filled with freshness and depth of rich earth from the undergrowth that runs alongside you and from the river which bubbles it's way on its long journey back to the ocean, and also being blessed with abundance along the way, how many of you can say yes to that? and if you do say yes then you will have a much deeper understanding of the story I am telling you here.

The abundance is in the form of nature larder once again, and in the week I put out to find apple trees, and rowan trees both have eluded me well not totally but they were sparce and not in places that were not invaded by car fumes.  So my search continued, and once again I asked that I could have some more sloes, and so I let go once I had placed my order with the universe and then came the delivery.

What is important to mention is that when I placed my order with the Universe I was very specific in what I was looking for and then asked for that or something better, and I believe that the last part has done the most work for me.     

I was guided to drive the car when I was out and about on Thursday into roads which I personally would not choose to drive down, taking a left here and a right there and had no idea where I was in resepct to where I had been but as I drove slowly through the winding road surround by houses on the one side and fields and trees on the other I turned the corner and there in front of me was the most wonderful amazing sight, the biggest Mountain Ash Trees I have ever seen, the ones which I remember from my childhood days were just average size growing in the pavements of the streets where I used to walk to school.  The universe had done the "and or something better" beyond my wildest dreams, I was not dressed in the right attire with high heel shoes and long skirt but the meadow in front of me was calling out so loud and the 50ft or so Rowan trees adorned from just a few feet off the ground with bright red rowan berries hundreds and thousands of them and there must have been about 5 trees.  I threw everything out of the plastic box which I organise my tools and things in from the boot of my car and stepped through the long wet grass and within 15 minutes I had a box full of berries.  Now that is what I call abundance. Sorry I have no photo yet of this.

Then a similar thing happened today, when once again I went out wild-crafting and once again I was astounded at what I found as I walked across a different patch of land to last week and there not one apple tree but 5 all in a long row growing alongside the grass pathway I was totally overwhelmed. Later on my walk I was blessed with so many sloe (blackthorn) bushes I was laughing out loud having read some of the comments on different jam and jelly making blogs and websites which state how scarce the sloes are this year, Mmmm, I thought to myself  how blessed am I.
Another sloe bush


To the left is a close up (sorry for the blurr) of the amount of sloes I was blessed with in one spot.  To the right is just one of about 50 bushes within one space all full and bursting with sloe-goodness.


And look at the beautiful patch of nettles below - how blessed with abundance is that, and there were huge patches everywhere.  
 And to the right one of the many apple trees which were adorned with luscious apples there must have been at least 3 different varieties but not sure which is which to be honest as my knowledge of wild apples is not great, but what did come to mind as I filled the ruck sack with the gold which I had found was chutney, jelly, jam and crumble.  Wow I had such an amazing find, and I definitely believe that the "and or something better" was a key in the whole process, as I had been near this part of the walk last week and never saw all this, but found it all today.

So all you limited thinking people out there order your abundance today, and remember to give back not only to mother earth for her generous larder but also to the plants which have blessed you with food, I shall return this to her in the form of wild bird seed. And I would like to say thank you to the Universe and the local Council for their blessings and part in all this.

And remember to use every part of that which you have been blessed with - nothing needs to be thrown away, and the very tiny amounts can be returned to mother earth to be recycled.

So I can honestly say that the Universe is teaching me the truth essence of ABUNDANCE.... and the more I have faith and stay open and curious to it the more is being blessed to me.

30 min meditation

I have produced another meditation for you, this one has a lot better sound than the first one - as I mentioned then, I was and still am working with new software, and so it can only improve as I learn about the software.

So the second meditation is :


The Crystal Cavern meditation is one which I have used in many of the meditation groups that I have held over the years and is done specifically to also work on awakening your senses, this assists those of you who are developing your spiritual self.  Other than that it is a beautiful journey to take.

I really hope that you enjoy this meditation, please send me your positive comments and ways if any that I may improve on these meditations.

Life is so abundant

And when  was the last time you really stopped to think about how abundant you actually are.  I am guessing either never or a very long time ago.

Well today I was so abundantly blessed I was quite overwhelmed.  Here is my story:

I decided to go wild-crafting again today whilst I was blessed with such wonderful bright skies and sunshine, but this time instead of going to the local canal which is where I have been wild-crafting for many years, I decciced to go much more local and boy was I amazed at the abundance in Mother Earths larder, and right on my doorstep.

I began my walk by the river which runs just at the back of where I live, and where I am surrounded by 26 acres of parkland and two nature reserves, and even knowing that I still had no idea of how full the larder was, and that was becuase I did not take the time to look.

So I passed an abundance of blackberry bushes, most of them gone for this season but I am definitely going to be getting them from this larder next year, and then there was the abundance of Rose Hips right there in front of me and to the right massive patches of nettles, so there are three things to make wonderful delicious recipes from.

Then I walked further and further getting engrossed into nature and found so many hawthorn trees I could hardly believe my eyes, and then sloes well I was really shocked with the amount of sloe's (they are from the blackthorn bush) and again there are several recipes and uses for this wonderful fruit.

Just over three hours of walking, and picking I came back with a true feast every time I turned around there was another abundance of fruit and this included a massive crab apple tree, nothing could have prepared me for this magnificant sight.

And here is the picture so that you can see what an abundance of food I picked for free today, and this proved to me that I truly am an abundantly blessed person.



 So here are the crab apples, the nettles ready for the soup, on the far left are the Haws, in the middle the sloes, and to right are the Rose Hips.

And all I have to find now are Rowan trees to get the berries from them.  But this is perfect for all my recipes, which include soup from the nettles, jams and jellies from the fruit and some for my witches store cupboard.

I already have blackberries and elder berries which I have picked over the Summer, so next time you are moaning that you have not got the things you think you want then please think again as life really is abundant.

The quiet inner voice meditation - 30 minutes long


I have recently blessed my new work room which I use for all the magical things that I do including meditation, so the room was named "Somewhere over the rainbow" and this is where the above meditation was recorded, as will all future ones be.

Here are some pointers before you begin:
  1. Always ensure that you are somewhere where there are going to be no disturbances
  2. Make sure that all phones are switched off or placed on silent 
  3. Ensure that you have not eaten a heavy meal for at least 1 hour before as the digestive process interferes with the meditation energies flowing into the body
  4. Wear warm comfortable loose clothing
  5. Always sit as upright as possible to ensure that you do not fall asleep and to help keep you grounded
  6. With creative meditation which this one is then you can watch the screen and just listen to the words or you can close your eyes and follow the journey in your mind to the best of your ability
  7. Most of all enjoy
I hope that you enjoy this meditation, I know that it does cut off just before the recording actually ended, but I have learnt from that and so the next one will be the right time frame, as I was using new software for this one and so I now have a lot more awareness of how it actually works etc.

Anyway, sit and do the meditation and let me know how it is for you, if there are any improvements that I could make then please put forward your suggestions.

What a luxurious life

Wow what an amazing day, I went for a walk today to do some wildcrafting that part is nothing unusual, but that was not quite what the universe had planned, what happened whilst I was walking was more than amazing.

I took my usual route down the canal, but as I began walking my strong inner guidance system kept saying "go the other way" and it was so strong that I could not ignore it, so I surrendered and began walking the other way, enjoying the beautiful sunshine and warm air and the song of the birds all around it was so magical, and then I had another inner urge from the guidance system to venture off the towpath and into a wooded area.

And there was me thinking I was going wildcrafting, so much for thoughts.  I found a wonderful clearing so I sat and took in all the amazing energies, the deep earthy smell of the soil beneath me it was truly amazing and uplifting but at the same time grounding and reassuring, I felt so at home once again, but without a lighter I was unable to light a fire, something the Aborigines taught me and which I have never forgotten that the fire is the first thing which is lit when you stop anywhere.

So for today I had to just connect with the energies, then after a while I felt it was time to go, as I was beginning to pack my things up I saw a bike rider inbetween the trees, but thought nothing more of it saying to myself "now I wonder which is the way out of here" as I began walking it was like I was automatic pilot and one foot just followed the other without any thought as to which direction I was heading, after a while I came across the guy I had seen on the bike, and then noticed that he was with another guy sitting on a tree log with a camp fire. 

I apologised for entering their space, but it was okay, I asked if they knew which way the towpath was as I appear to have lost my way, the one guy was about to tell me when my mouth opened and all these questions started splurging out, about whether they lived there, and how long they had been there and just found myself getting more and more nosey.

But as they began opening up to me it was quite amazing, they had been living there for a while totally at one with nature, it was like I was being rekindled with memories of when I was travelling and had lived out with nature on occassions with no money, or any luxuries that I today take for granted.

I was blown away with their story and way of life, so simple and perfect in some way, but a life which held it's own struggles like not having water on tap, and having to ride many miles on a bike to get some, not being able to dry clothes when they got wet in the heavy rains which had been around for the past couple of days, and then they invited me into their "lodge" it was totally awesome, they had built a holly hedge all the way around a large cleared area where small trees were to hang their clothes on and in the corner nestled away from the winds were the tents and a cooking area, the entrance to the area was a natural doorway that had been created by the two trees on either side, as I walked under the arched opening I asked permission from the land to enter the space and as I did it felt like I had walked into a sacred space that aborigines or shamens had created I was absolutely dumb founded.

I was completely transported to another energy frequency, it was so peaceful and serene, it felt like the inside of a sweatlodge (of course if you have never done a sweatlodge then you will not understand the feeling I am trying to describe), I was so blessed to have met these two men, and it was such an honour for me to be blessed with their stories and journeys of life to this point.

I could have stayed there forever, but in the moments I was in their "lodge" I was filled with the most amazing oneness I have felt in a very long time, so much peace it was quite incredible then I had fleeting thoughts of what a luxurious life I have, the roof over my head, the shower, the food, the water, etc. and although I also thank the universe for all these things meeting these two men today bought it all home to me on an even deeper level as I was experiencing it first hand and hearing true experiences of how life is for them.

And I know that at some level they choose that lifestyle but I am still in awe of them, the one chap had a luxurious life before the one he now lived, and through divorce and many other things including illness this is what he has to show for all that part of his life, now living in nature with no luxuries what so ever, that is a massive contrast and this is what I admire him and his friend for the acceptance that they have both reached about how they live.

They like many of the Aborigines that I have met on my travels are adapted to this way of life from living it and it is going back to the source of who we are as people that really does make the magic within come to life.

Words really do not do the story any justice what so ever, they never have with my Australian travels either, being there in it for even just a brief time is the most empowering way to experience it and as I have found through my own travels those memories will never fade and nobody can ever take them away, they are so magical and inspiring I am truly blessed.

I came back home and even on the way began recognising more and more things that I have that I am truly grateful for, and my thoughts were with the two amazing men I met today. And tonight I will send them prayers and light to keep them safe and well, and like many of the people I met when I was travelling I will often think about what they taught me and how blessed I truly am from the experiences.

So next time you have a hot meal, a shower, wash your clothes or crawl into a nice cosy bed think of those people who do not have such luxuries whether chosen or not and send your blessings to them a prayer is a powerful thing.

Blackboard wipeout


So back to the drawing board, or blackboard in this case and yes I know that these days we use whiteboards but for this anaology I am going back to a good old fashioned blackboard, and I believe the reason for this when it was given to me when I was working with a couple of beautiful people this week in development is that it works closer with the inner child energies.

So here it is, every day you can imagine that all your day's events good and bad are now stored on your blackboard, and as you can visually see the one above it will assist you to imagine your own, and it could have scribbles of anger all over it, it could have different coloured chalk all over it, it could have so much on it that the stuff which happening this morning is no longer visible on the board as it has been covered up and completely entangled with all the other stuff that has happened since that point.

Mmm, now switch your thinking to seeing all that stuff on the blackboard as energy, strands of energy or vibrations and all of them at different frequencies which could be represented by the different colours, yes see you got the picture just imagine you can see all that day on that board.

You're doing brilliant, keep going, now take the cloth or board rubber and literally see yourself wiping the board clean, yes all of it and as you do so say the statement Ho'oponopono which means to make right.

http://www.ancienthuna.com/ho-oponopono.htm This is a fantastic website which explains the huna process.

So back to the blackboard, you are rubbing out all that energy and saying Ho'oponopono clearing away the day.

So what does this blackboard process actually do, well firstly it allows your energy field to be clear for a new day (tomorrow if there is such a thing) and then it also allows negative energies to be "detached" from your own energy field, over time that could get very sluggish and heavy carrying all that energetic baggage around with you, which hits the physical level as dis-ease or dis-order in some way shape or form. It also allows you to live in the now but with freedom and space for new energies to flow.

It felt so light and wonderful to do myself  that I then decided to work with others using this analogy and it worked for them as well, so now it is time to share it with many of you who I may never get to meet in person but whom I am happy to pass this energy work onto as you too are my sisters and brothers.

I know that using this method will not clear up something from weeks, months or even years gone by but now is the only place that is important, and the past does not equal the future so it is better to just rub today out once you are done with it.

Let me know what you think about this, and how it has worked for you.
