Happy Earth Day!
A Lovely Grounding Meditation
Use this meditation to neutralize negative energy and replace it with earth energy. I find it does wonders to ground and center when I feel my life has gotten out of control.
Set aside about a half an hour for this exercise. Choose a quiet place where you will not be interrupted or distracted. Make sure that you are comfortable and in a positive state of mind.
Sit quietly with your eyes closed and your palms face up in your lap.
Breathe and relax.
Spend a few moments focusing to relax your body working your way down from the top of your head to the tips of your toes until every part of you is relaxed.
Connect with the soles of your feet and be aware of how they feel. After a few moments, move your attention down to a spot within the Earth about a foot below your feet. Visualize a sphere of cool blue energy pooling in this spot.
Now Visualize roots slowly extending from your feet. Slowly they travel down, down, through the soil. Imagine the feel of the cool, secure soil all around your roots, keeping you safe as you breathe deep the smell of fresh, wholesome Earth. Your roots grow until they find the cool pool of Earth energy. Allow them to plunge into this pool and drink up the cool energy. As the roots of your feet drink in the cool Earth energy, they grow becoming a strong cord. Feel the cord growing until it becomes a strong cable between your body and the earth. See the cool energy traveling up this cord. Feel the earth energy rising up through the bottom of your feet; up through your ankles and calves; earth energy rising up through your knees and thighs; up through your pelvic area; earth energy flowing up through your abdomen and lower back; rising up through your hands and arms.
Imagine earth energy flowing up through your chest and back; up through your shoulders and neck, chin, jaw, face; earth energy flowing up through your scalp.
This earth energy flows up and up over the top of your head and flows back down to the earth healing and revitalizing your aura as it flows through all the layers and levels of energy around your body before spilling down to flow back into the earth. Let the energy run until you have created a loop the moves from the Earth up your feet, legs and spine, out the top of your head, down your aura and back into the Earth. Run this energy until your sprit sings and you skin begins to tingle. Let the energy nourish you charkas and set them to spin like brightly colored jewels.
When you are finished running your energy, and you are ready to return to your previous state of consciousness, bring your awareness to your fingertips and wiggle them, take a breath and slowing open you eyes.
Namaste

A Magickal Moment.
It's interesting how the universe responses to us giving us exactly what we need the moment we need it.
A pigeon came to me while I was in circle. I didn't know his message until I looked him up.
The pigeon assists us in finding the stability of home that has been lost.
This was the perfect message and comforts me that yes I was is circle releasing the home where I had raised my family and lived for the past 18 years. I was releasing the old and accepting the new cycle on the cusp. I guess I harbored a little sadness letting go, not really knowing if I would find a new home….and then came the pigeon brave as a pet, he flopped down into my circle to blink at me.
Pigeons originally lived on the wild cliff faces of the European and Asian seacoasts. Used by the Chinese for hundreds of years to send messages they also carried money exchange rates between banks in
This amazing bird holds the qualities of home, security and maternal instincts. Those with this totem often experience unsettling childhood's and will be challenged continually to acquire a solid secure foundation in all areas of their lives. The pigeon assists us in finding the stability of home that has been lost.
No matter where pigeon ends up or how it gets there, it knows the way home.
The Pigeons gift to us is the ability to accomplish. They do not get lost because they are in tune with the natural ways of earth, and are always aware of their goals. They use all their senses equally and navigate their lives in a balanced way. If Pigeon comes to you, it is asking you to keep your sights and sensitivities clearly set on where you want to be, and start moving. Even if you don’t know exactly how to get there, by following your inner guidance you can find your way. "
Blessed Be!
