Deep in the wild faerie woodland

I came across this delightful scene whilst wandering through mixed woodland near our neighbour's farm. It looked to me so naturally balanced that I just had to take a piccy as it was deep in the woods and certainly hadn't been specially landscaped to please human eyes. I asked permission from the nature spirits to capture the image so that I could share it with all of you, some of whom maybe can't get out into nature, perhaps through disability, illness or opportunity...so this is a gift from the Scottish Faeries especially for YOU dear friend ...your own sacred wee space to visit whenever you wish. Faeries belong to the Angelic realm, so , when you relax and gaze into the picture, become aware of your fluttery friends around you and know that you are grandly loved wherever you are.

Sea for YOUR-self!

I thought I'd get away from crystals for a wee while, much though I love them. This coastal view kind of inspired me to re-touch on the subject of perspective and how important it is in colouring our views of life's path as it unfolds. At a time of great changes on our planet, it can sometimes be comforting to look to nature for solidity and 'foreverness'. This picture, for us , perhaps encapsulates that feeling-'rock solid' cliffs standing steadfast against the eternal buffeting of the vast , immutable ocean. The fresh water falling endlessly down the cliff into the sea, it's sparkly translucence accentuating the hardened timelessness of the stone face -all of this framed by a horizon only ever altered in colour and tone by the changes in weather. All of this can aid us in freeing ourselves of earthly ties and material concerns, reminding us that our stay on this earth in relation to all this 'stuff' is transient indeed-a healthy, liberating and much desired change in perspective!

Labradorite-The protective stone

Labradorite will deflect negative energies, banishing fears and insecurities. It strengthens your self-belief and dissipates other people's influences, including any ill-wishing directed at you that has hooked into your aura. This is a great stone to see you through any period of change, imparting strength and perseverance. It will de-stress you AND lowers blood pressure. Definitely the stone for a challenging environment, it's also beautiful to look at as you can see!

It is also great for soothing burns-handy for both kitchen and campfire! It absorbs, stores,releases and regulates energy and also unblocks it. Quartz is the most powerful healing and energy amplifier on our planet. It's not expensive and is readily available so get yourself a piece and make friends with it-each one is as unique as your handprint!

Life through 'rose-tinted specs'

Have you ever heard of people seeing life through 'rose tinted specs'? Are things looking 'rosy' for you right now?, or are they actually coming up 'smelling of roses' for you? We can't always control our circumstances or environment but we CAN make an arbitrary decision as to how we choose to respond to anything life throws at us-in that we do have a choice. We can choose to 'react'[re-enact] our old negative programming or we can choose to 'create' a new thought about it. It's a habit worth forming as I wasted many, many years worrying over things which never came to pass, or, if they did, I seemed to find the strength to get through. We are all of us stronger than we dreamed possible and remember that the only thing permanent in life is impermanence! When we accept that and learn to accept change, everything flows-What we resist, persists!

Baby Beech Leaf catching the sun

Spring has sprung but you could be forgiven for thinking it's still winter where we are.

Flurries of snow only yesterday but Mother Nature will not be thwarted in her plan, as this photo shows-a beautiful green Beech leaf catching the sunlight as it unfolds upwards, emerging from it's brown leafy parcel. God's giftwrapping never fails to contain an enchanting present if we pause long enough to notice.
