Initiations of the heart

Top tip. You will find the fellow flower lovers who can’t resist getting up close and personal with teeny tiny spring flowers by observing who else is wandering about with slightly damp and muddy knees. 🤪🌸

Thank you to everyone who has connected with me here on this page. I've decided not to use Facebook anymore. It doesn't feel good in my energy system, and my life is becoming simplified by choosing what feels energetically aligned and letting go of what doesn't.

Today I wandered to the little copse that I see from my bedroom window to give offerings to the land. When I first viewed this house on a starry October evening I came back next morning to walk to that same copse so I could ask the spirits of the land for their permission to move into the house. They seemed to think it was a fine plan!

What happens when we are in conscious relationship with our animate sentient Earth? What are we doing when we communicate with the spirits of the land? What are we offering? What are we seeking? What is our role here in Earth, if we have one? I think about this a lot. My sense is that we put something back in its rightful place when we acknowledge the sacred living spirit in all things. I certainly feel more connected, alive and aligned when i do.

When I wander in nature on my own I start by singing my Spirit name which was given to me by the woodland where I used to live. Doing this seems to open a doorway to Otherworld - it puts us on the same wavelength somehow and the spirits of the land recognise the essence of my heart from that. Then I (tunelessly!) sing whatever emerges from my deep love and appreciation of our green world. Singing to the trees, flowers, devas elementals and nature spirits feels like an important acknowledgement of their role in weaving the magic of the world. It honours their beauty, power and wisdom. While I don’t believe that the Earth doesn’t need us humans to heal her (she has the power to do that herself and is doing exactly that) I believe we drop into a more conscious and connected space when we honour Earth. From that place of heartfelt reverence and profound cherishing we are more likely to listen to Earth wisdom and make choices that serve our planet instead of poisoning it. And so we weave ourselves back into the fabric of life and become part of the endless dance between earth and sky.

I’ve written a blog post about my recent experiences with .essences Forgiveness combination. Deeply buried feelings of guilt and shame are quiet, insidious and toxic. The Forgiveness combination has helped me to shift layers of the stuff! Life feels very different without it. You’ll find the link to the post over on .essences or CrystalHerbs page on Facebook 🌸✨🌸

This is me feeling very pleased with myself because I have done great things today to solve a mould and condensation problem in my car that’s been sort of vaguely in my awareness for months. I say vaguely because I’d noticed the problem but honestly I have quite limited interest when it comes to the physical practical side of life. I’ve learnt to do practical stuff to function in the world but it’s not my natural orientation.

I’m much better at sensing subtle energies, tuning into inner guidance, feeling emotions, contemplating the meaning of life, and understanding inter-personal dynamics. So when I actually deal with physical stuff like this I feel like a LEGEND! I also just had a divine revelation about the cause of the problem. I think it’s probably the bottle of water I spilt all over the floor 4 months ago and didn’t deal with at the time. If it had been an emotional mess I think I’d have cleaned it up right away, physical mess not so much.

Isn’t it epic how we’re all made different? We need diversity. We need the people who naturally gravitate to taking practical action, we need the deep feelers who naturally tune into the hidden dynamics and subtle realms, and we need the brilliant thinkers who help us see the world in new ways. I wonder what other useful practical things I can do now 🤔 (P.S if my story is also your story, clematis Bach flower remedy is your friend! ✨🌸😊)

Do you have practices to deepen your connection with the landscape in which you live? I’d love to hear. Things I’m doing to land more fully in this new landscape are: 1. Being barefoot in the garden every morning even if it’s not for long at this time of year. This morning I felt like Wim Hof because it was very chillsome indeed. 2. Earth-Sun practice and a simple practice to honour the elements, learnt from during the Awenydd Apprenticeship though you can learn about the Earth-Sun practice in her ‘Following the Deer Trods’ book . 3. Walking 2 miles a day to work and back paying attention as I walk. 4. Singing and drumming a song that landed in my head/heart/body one morning when I asked Norfolk to teach me how to connect with the land here. The song goes like this - ‘I sing the air song, carried on bird wing. I sing the fire song, warmed in the sunshine. I sing the water song, tasted in raindrops. I sing the earth song, buried in leaf mulch.’ My heart is full of deep appreciation for our generous animate Earth. 💚🙏🏻🌸🌳✨

Morning sky from the bottom of my garden. I am learning the language of the sky. The dialect of clouds. The wisdom of stars. Here, in this land of wide open space I am learning how to dance with infinity. Thank you Norfolk for your sky beauty and quiet peace. Thank you .essences for inviting me here.

Dear Ram Dass, I am so grateful for your presence in this world. You have taught me what love truly means, transformed my relationships and my life. I could listen to your voice all day. Sometimes I do. Your humour, your profound transmissions of love, your deep understandings of what it means to be here in this life finding our divinity in our delicious messy humanity rather than trying to transcend it. Last week I was meditating on divine mother energy and this rage rose up in me about the contrast - what I perceived as the absence of divine father energy. Rage at all the emotionally unavailable men I’ve chosen to be in intimate relationship with, rage at the absence of strong loving masculine energy to guide our young men. Where is the divine masculine? I asked. Instantly, there you were in my meditation, in my heart. Your presence; what you embody right there with me, full of love. It has stayed with me as a particular frequency ever since. I remember seeing how frail you looked in Going Home and I got scared that you were going to die and I would never have met you. I was scared of losing you when I feel such great love for you. And then your teachings on death began to quietly transform my fears about death. Waking up today to discover that you have died I find my heart in pure gratitude and celebration. I celebrate your life, I celebrate your soul’s return home. You beautiful incredible man. You beautiful incredible soul. Thank you for your devotion to your path, thank you for sharing your heart so generously. Thank you to the Love Serve Remember Foundation for sharing your teachings so generously. I feel a profound transmission of love in your death, I feel the light and the love that is more available to us because of you. It seems fitting that you chose to leave this earth on the day the light returns. “When we see the Beloved in each person, it’s like walking through a garden, watching flowers bloom all around us.” Thank you. 💚🙏🏻💚 Photo
