Everything In Life Is Vibration

Humans don’t awaken in their comfort zone. 

They awaken when they are taken out of their comfort zone. 

Adversity forces you to go deeper; it is a time of great opportunity.

Eckhart Tolle

Greetings to all my precious people!

The month of May is bursting with blooms and an abundance of celebratory activities that include religious and educational rites of passage as well as seasonal transitions. Next Monday, May 12, an intense and cathartic Full Moon in Scorpio will add to the deep vibrational themes of shift and change in this year of the Yin Snake. There is so much stirring about—and we are all affected by it in some way, shape or form.

Awaken to Remember

May you awaken to the Mystery of being here 

and enter the quiet immensity of your own presence. 

May you have joy and peace in the temple of your senses.

~~ John O’Donohue

Greetings to all my precious people!

Each year on May 1st, the ancient Celtic celebration of Beltaine calls us to awaken. Marking the threshold between Spring and Summer, it is a festival of fertility, fire, and fullness. Life bursts forth in bloom. Earth sings in birdsong and blossoms. Beltaine represents the liminal space—where the veils between the world’s thin and the invisible invites us to imagine the possibilities. Traditionally, bonfires were lit on hilltops across Ireland and Scotland to ignite passion, cleanse the old, and bless the fertility of the land and the people. The fires of Beltaine have long signaled a turning point, heralding vitality and sacred union.  continue reading »
