Meadow flowers

Firstly, apologies for not posting for a while but things have been very busy clinic-wise.

Whilst I love my healing work, it is a continuously challenging vocation, and this past week has reminded me that there is still a great deal I have to learn. Of course we never stop learning, but sometimes something comes along that we think we can fix, based on previous experience, only to realise it's 'back to the drawing board' time. Actually no bad thing really as it keeps in check the old enemy-our own ego!

The above photo is a good reminder that people are like flowers-they may seem very similar in the many ways they appear to us, but, observed closely, there are each unique-a fact worth remembering.

Woodland Fairy Knoll

I'm off to Norway soon, where I've been invited back to initiate people into the healing system that I practice. Over there they have a rich history of nature magic with Trolls, in particular, featuring in their children's favourite fairy stories. I don't know much about Trolls but I understand they can be rather tricky customers, a bit like our Goblins. Of course, these are just names for nature spirits who can be both positive and negative in their energy characteristics. Fairies, however, actually belong to the Angelic Realm and the above mound is exactly the sort of place that you might find them-approach quietly, respectfully and then be very still. Gaze, rather than look, at the knoll and you may be rewarded by a materialisation as they make themselves visible to you!

Wee fishing boats

I'm getting new photos soon and I had this one left to post. I love these types of fishing boats and this picture speaks for itself without any assistance from me.

Leaves against the light.

I just posted this because it reminded me of my childhood. Old fashioned sash windows and lots of plants. Sunlight beaming through the windows and casting a calming green ambience in the rooms. A nice memory-what's your's? Think of it and it will make you feel good.

Lunga in the heather

This is Lunga looking at something that she can see but we can't. She's 18 months old now and won't be a 'puppy' for long. Folk are already asking about whether we'll breed from her when she's older. We think she'd make a great mum as she's got such a sweet gentle nature. As for what the puppies will look like...what do you think?

Scots Pine

This is one of my favourite trees. Pine represents immortality, fertility and is a purifier-it's resin when burned as incense will clear negative energies. It's smoke repels evil, sending it back to it's source. A versatile timber, it makes great furniture, buildings, toys, poles, musical instruments, household implements and fencing. Pine has a myriad of uses in herbal medicine with applications from throat and lung conditions to sciatica, eczema, psoriasis and essential oil used in massage. As a Bach flower remedy, Pine is the prescribed to people that feel they are to blame for everybody else's mistakes. At Christmas time get a potted pine and enjoy the pleasure of planting it free in the wild when the festivities are over!
