Past coming round..completions.. Rural retreats!

First Full Moon of the year!  and my, cant we feel it!  First blog of the year...  much has transitioned since my last entry. Visitors and friends have now all left after festivities and birthday, clots dissolved and lurghies disappeared!   The New is coming in and there is an optimism surrounding everything...acceptance of what cannot be changed and continued loving of all that is...

Its been a weird old week for me and today I have been hibernating, meditating, writing and reflecting..

Last week I helped out a friend in a demonstration of 'biodanza' for a local Womens' Institute Group..lovely to see how he could command a room of 60 women, aged from their fifties upwards in moving and feeling in ways they had never done before.    Many were nervous of looking into each others' eyes, moving with freedom, moving to the different music being played...ALL were beautiful!  A few were touched by it as I was and there were tears of recognition of sisterhood and love. 

Last weekend, I bumped into my ex hubby..we haven't seen each other for some fifteen years. For what seems like minutes, there was  nothing to say..we just looked into each others eyes.  When words were spoken it was loving and with a recognition of the journey we have both taken since our separation.  A bit surreal to see how his body has changed, hair turned grey and yet his eyes were still as smiley and sparkly as ever they were!  After a while, we hugged and said goodbye, he spoke of how great I looked..warmed me with his tenderness.

Then as I was waiting to meet someone in town a few days later, I watched a familiar face walk past me in the street...it was an old friend from when I was married....again, I hadn't seen him for over fifteen years either.  Disbelief that it had really been that long since we had all got together as a group of friends, a catch up and again a tender goodbye and wish to be remembered to the others.

Surreal and yet it felt like there was some completion of yet another circle from my past.  Out of all the sadness, grief and bitterness surrounding our separation..years later an acknowledgement of love that was always underneath it all.  We had been a big part of each of our 'growing up' in life...

A week of action in amongst reflection.  My book is nearing the top of my pile to complete and send off (I know said it before!)...and I have now set a date for me to hold the space for a rural retreat.  Details of which follow if any of you are interested...lets see how it manifests!

Full Moon looming.. solar flares...insights and insights...

Full Moon nearly here and energies are moving around.. Apparently there have been some major solar flares happening which are being directed towards Earth! We may see some wonderful light displays in the sky but I feel that many of us are sensitive enough to have felt them anyway.. way beyond the moment they may hit our 'atmosphere'.

This week, I've been on a quest to discover where I need to go with this breathing issue of mine. followed all sorts of paths, including the conventional way.. my GP is now referring me to Rheumatology as it is fairly obvious this is an auto immune not a lung problem.

As you know, I beleive that I can reverse the way my immune system is working..that there is a trigger, a key that I am missing. It was suggested that there may be some sort of spiritual attachment, some cellular memory from an event/emotion/thought that occured around the time my breathing problems started. Whilst i have already looked at what was occuring in my life at the time, I feel that now I need to look deeper, maybe with some assistance.. even look to the period just before.. This feels right. This would put me back into the Community I once lived in, back with my beloved at the time, my teacher..my lover, my spiritual family and home.

I sigh..deep breath... hey.. deep breath!

Busy..busy..busy.....buzzing along...

Phew.. been a hectic week so far...have too much work on for a change. Not complaining but really noticing the difference from times last year... its been so beautiful with blue skies, frosty mornings and I havent had time to get into the woods with Milo. :(

There was an assignment/interim placement on offer at a company I have worked at before - I loved it there and was keen to go back...but the terms had changed and we couldnt agree on the financial aspects so I am not now doing it. On one hand I am a little sad, but on the other, I totally trust in life and as I was a bit unsure about the extra commitment of hours, was ok which ever way it went. I also saw how I need to value my time and not under-value my skills in monetary terms... it feels good that I stuck to what I felt I was worth. I know that I will be ok - maybe life is saying to concentrate on the clients I have and to get boosting my alternative therapies business. Suddenly, all these ideas are stirring again....

Also, this week, I experienced a power cut... in the middle of some work emails, the electric went at 4pm.. with news that it may come on in 3.4 hours time! it was just starting to get dusk then, so had chance to get candles prepared and get wrapped up against the cold. Now I have lived in a cabin with no electrity and should be used to this.. but you know I found it hard. How reliant I have become on my laptop, access to the internet, dvd and music entertainment! I was shocked at myself so endeavoured to meditate and then read by candelight... oh I was so fidgity! Just couldnt sit still..

Then I got hungry..with no way to cook for myself, I had to go and hunt for a take away..firstly having to borrow some money from next door (how embarrasing!) and then having to go out of my village area to find somewhere that was open with electric. Having got my food, came back....lit the last candle for a romantic candlelit dinner by myself....and pop... the electric came on! :) I smiled..and switched the lights off and carried on eating in the dim lights.... lovely.. but shame I didnt have anyone here to share it with.

Full moon was very powerful over the last few days.. yesterday it felt like it was boreing into my third eye all day and night.. didnt get much sleep yet again but did enjoy moon bathing on my bed!

Have nothing particular planned for the weekend and looking forward to just relaxing and doing 'whatever' as I feel..lovely.

Namaste
