*When feeling Sorry becomes Evolution*

For this Saturday I want to post a video, its been a while since I did that :) :D Enjoy the groovy beats*

I don't know the lyrics to it, but the name of the song is Sorry*
Sometimes we just feel sorry, maybe for something we did or said and we wish we hadn't, or about something close or remote to us. And it is OK to experience the feeling~emotion. Some would say "don't feel sorry", or as the homeless man said to my boyfriend after asking for some change, which my boyfriend didn't have and therefore answered something something, and  "..... I'm sorry..", then the homeless man replied: "Don't be sorry, be successful".

But feeling sorry, at least reflects a stirring within ones heart and that's why I think feeling sorry once in a while is OK. We should in fact celebrate the notion of it. It means we are humans, and that we can make mistakes, which we then become aware of and want to change for the better and that is evolution.

Hahahahah... so after writing this I have come to the conclusion that 'sorry' is synonymous to 'evolution'  ;)
I think that is just great for this Saturday* Lets enjoy it, and the New Moon tomorrow. We are now within the dark phase of the moon, experiencing the Balsamic Moon phase, the last 2/3 days of the Lunar cycle. We embrace the dark and give thanks to its potency*

Love and Miracles to All

*Honoring the Swelling Belly*

*Brigit's Day ~ 2nd of February*
Candlemas ~ Imbolc  

There are stirrings within the womb of Mother Earth. Light is quickening* 

The seeds that were planted on Winter Solstice are beginning to sprout. 

We are now midway between the solstice and the gifts of Ostara, so the promise of spring is around the corner. Imbolc means 'in the belly', or 'around the belly', in honor of the swelling belly of  the Earth Mother. I think that is so beautiful*

Today we light a candle for the Celtic Goddess Brigit, the Triple Fire Goddess.  

As for many other pagan Goddesses, today she is also revered as a 

Christian saint.  God~Goddess moves in mysterious ways ;) 

Brigit's three aspects are the Fire of Inspiration as patroness of poetry, 

Fire of the Hearth, as patroness of healing and fertility, and Fire of the Forge, as patroness of smithcraft and martial arts.

She has many sides and faces to her, but she is always associated with fire, and to me that also means courage, and the strength to carry on. In the Northern hemisphere we are starting to feel the heavy burden of a long winter, thankful for all the lessons,  but longing for more light and lightness in Life.  Brigit gives us that extra spark to keep on, not to fall back and give up. 

She is the bringer of hope*

Today I dedicate my candle prayer to Brigit, to ANU the Mother of Goddesses and to the Egyptian Goddess Sekhmet

Live well and be Happy*

*LOVE*

12.01.2013

At a café last Saturday… New Moon + 1 day

O, sweet sounds, those innocent and sincere voices.. Where, when, with whom? Strange but a very familiar motherly feeling sweeps me into a trance like state. I close my eyes and my mind wanders, into the soul.  Hoping to find the answers within the fog of the past where only the soul can find its way about. Or, are these memories to be found in the future, in a future life perhaps? „Regard, regard“, The little boy says with wide open eyes, pointing to a stack of games and puzzles up against the wall, getting the attention of his baby sister.   Oh man, how I just want to take those two beautiful French children softly into my arms and hug and kiss them.  Where do these feelings come from? Little children speaking French whip me into a creamy caramel pudding every time. Always have, always will probably.

I am sitting in one of the coziest little cafés in Reykjavik city center. Retro sofas from the 50‘s/60‘s, wooden floors, wooden tables, framed tapestry art on the walls, and yes.. the kitsch poster of the little sad boy from the 70‘s on one wall. Blend of hot coco aroma and newly brewed coffee in the air. Old fashioned lamps in every corner, casting a comfortable warm light, making the darkness outside bearable. Tea lights on every table. It can be tough this darkness, the Icelandic winter at its peak. January 12th, Saturday afternoon. The day is getting longer, it‘s true, but I realized it yesterday driving home from the summerhouse I had  been snuggling in since the 6th of January, that perhaps it is the twilight that makes us so tired and weary.  It‘s unusually warm now in Iceland, considering the time of the year, the temperature rocking above and below zero, so there is no snow to brighten things up a bit. Then I started noticing the dusk, the dimness. „We must be owls in disguise“, I said to my boyfriend who was driving the car home, with his eyes peered, watching the road. Trying to squeeze a bit more light out of the 3 o‘clock twilight.

The adorable little French children just toddled out through the door into the darkness, their small hands clasping their parents‘. Probably a bit tired now those little ones, it’s soon supper time.

I came here 'cause I wanted to write something, the first post of 2013. A lot has happened since the New Years. Maybe not happened but surfaced; new feelings and revelations. The first came to me just a few days ago, and what an AHA moment it was.  Here it comes: The key to happiness in relations to your career is to absolutely focus on what you are best in! What you excel in! I know, I know, those are the most frequently spoken words of wisdom from every self-help book we know of, but bear with me, it is not that simple. First of all it can just be very hard to find out what that special something is, and secondly when you do find it out, many of us fail to believe in our own strengths, so we fall again and again into the trap of not stepping into our greatness. We also keep comparing us to others, what ‘the others‘ say we should be doing, what makes money, what the world needs at this moment, etc. And sometimes it's just because our greatness, just happens to fall outside the grid somehow!

 In my case at least, the search for my greatness has not been an easy task. It has been going on for a loooooong time, even to the point that I feel comfort in defining myself as a 'late bloomer'.

For the greater part of the last couple of years, I have been pulling myself in all directions, agitated wondering why other people haven't been seeing who I am all about! I used to ask myself over and over again “why aren't they reflecting to me the answer I keep looking for? I felt the mission, the BIG, GRAND soul mission within me, but I didn't know how to manifest it into a career. Who was I? What was my project? Well I knew the project, but who was I within it? What was my part? Why wasn't anyone telling me by reacting to me in a certain way? Wow, talking about being insecure, not knowing, wanting others to somehow fix me up!  Haha..  I know, we can be such good teachers to others, and give great words of advice. But often when it comes to guiding ourselves, figuring things out for ourselves for us, we are sometimes clueless. We cannot see the forest for all those trees.

A good friend of mine told me last year, that I had to learn how to claim my space, so to speak. It was a great revelation. It was. In communication, when working with other people, if you do not have a very finely carved out business card, you need to tell people what you are all about. Tell, show, do! It is as simple as that. At age 21 I was still figuring out ‘what I was going to be when I grew up’. My sister and I laughed so hard at this intimidating sentence one afternoon during the summer of the first year of our new millennium.

We were on our way to do our jobs as substitute cleaning ladies. As effectively as we could by the way, considering the newly installed ‘IF brain’.  Only a few months earlier I had been a store manager, working for one of the most popular fashion stores in Iceland. But after a year in that position the ‘IF brain’ introduced itself.  What IF this is not it? What if greater, grandeur, happier, more fulfilling and more thrilling adventures are just right around the corner? 

So I quit! My sister quit, and my friends quit. We all quit! We went to the bank and got overdrafts, and had ourselves pierced with all kinds of immunity shots and started acting out our dream to travel the seas! Travel the world. We were going to become travel, slash, TV stars in Iceland. It was one crazy, absolutely gorgeous idea that was so avant-garde that it was bound to be a great success! In Iceland people love new things in art and culture. Plus, the world had only seen Lonely Planet as a hands-on travel show, one man/woman travelling, reporting almost live, all the time, all that he/she was experiencing, as it was happening. But we, we were going to add to the mix the relationship, the communication, the lows and the highs of four girls travelling together; even before we had heard about ‘reality TV’. Completely exposing ourselves knowing that in return we would be sponsored to see the world! What could possibly be more exciting? We were going to Egypt, China, South America, Africa, Australia; it was going to be great! We called ourselves Innsýn, or Insight in English and the show was to be called Adventure. Simple. The meaning of the word saying everything that had to be said. 

After two months of working towards our common dream we had heard a lot of ‘wows’ and “cool, go for it”, and “what a great idea”.  From TV stations and prospective sponsors we had also heard a lot of “if only you had talked to us sooner”, “our budget for the year has been accounted for”, and so on. We had to down-scale our idea from ‘around the world’, to USA, to Europe, to Eastern Europe, looking for Dracula in an old Transylvanian castle. We had very promising responses from a well-known international company, that is for the year after if we could only wait and come again. And we did manage to get our camera gear sponsored for the trip. But the overdrafts were close to being maxed out, the days were getting shorter, the grapes were just turning sour. We had to face it. It was ‘Game Over’ for Innsýn, we were thrown out of our beautiful cloud castle and it was time to grab that broom.  

At that time the whole thing felt like one big failure. But there was magic in the name!  Living those two summer months was definitely like a reality TV show to us, and a few months later we realized what a GREAT ADVENTURE the summer of 2000 had turned into.

Nostalgia! So sweet and sour. Well, back to present times, continuing with my big AHA moment just days ago. So there I was, only just realized that I absolutely had to ask myself that big question, once and for all: “What is it that I do best? “ Not compared to others but personally, when weighing up my own skills and passions.

And my answer was “Being a visionary”. O man, what am I going to do with that? ;) ;D

* ..under the influence of the Full Cancer Moon* The Drops of Movement*

Water, water, water water...

The play of thrilling music with fast flashing images from around the globe, displaying all that is wrong in the world. Your heartbeat rises and a surge of rebellious, almost electrified vibrations flow through your body. You feel the urge to join hands with all the like minded people, your brothers and sisters around the world to stop all the nonsense, all the injustice and evil makings that harm and destroy our peace. The villains being so often those in power, WITH immense power, and both men and women.

We cannot understand their doings, but we want to love them nevertheless. That is the way forward, to send them love instead of hate and resentment. So we try really hard to love them. We try as much as we possibly can, right? considering all the emotional restraints of ‘a human condition’. The untying of those restraints, are undoubtedly lessons in disguise, the very precious gift of the soul.

In front of us are endless choices of which paths to choose, in all we do, in reacting to circumstances and people, in communications and never really knowing where those decision will lead us to, what the consequences will be like. Then trying to use memory and  common sense for guidance but unfortunately for the little decision maker on the shoulder, just doesn't work. Those memories are tied to other decisions that were perhaps made based on emotions or circumstances that don’t apply any more ‘cause the world has changed and new realities and dimensions keep winding up from nowhere….

We are running through the biggest ever-changing maze in the world, faced with great challenges and on top of it all blessed time is ticking in our ears. No! Resisting the current of negativity and the attempts to deactivate once and for all the switch for guilt trips and co-dependency, are the cherry on top. And then we have to love the bad guys! That's one tough cookie to digest.

Basically each decision-step we take is a leap of faith. So there we are, with our human guise torn open at the chest so the heart can breath with more ease, big sincere smiles and glistening eyes, throwing ourselves again and again into the abyss of the unknown. No wonder so many of us are feeling tired or exhausted.  

The Hymn of Wisdom, the embracing song of Oneness, the soothing sound of LOVE ALL – HARM NONE that from birth can be heard coming from our hearts, how often do those sweet notes of harmony get suffocated by the noise of relentless hammering of words of ignorance in our heads. The hammering of words which are permeated with fear and judgement towards so many things and other human beings, and worst of all, towards ourselves. All we long for is for the hammering to stop! Those voices constantly echo in our minds.

We need strong will and perseverance to slow down the hammer to a quiet stance and to altogether tune into the frequency of the heart. But we CAN do it if we want, if we choose to! No one said it was going to be easy. But we can stop the hammering! We all know world peace and harmony starts with us, with us individually, right? That we, each and every one of us, have to become the change we want to experience? What about stop pointing fingers at each other, and instead be grateful for the lessons we face as individuals of Oneness. We have the choice to be happy. We can stop being victims and take charge of our own destiny. May the bewildering maze become the Sacred Labyrinth for us all*

And then the flickering images of war, starvation and corruption fade out, and on the screen appear the faces of laughing children from all over the world, dancing in the rain and the sun, under a marvelous rainbow. Simultaneously the beautiful chorus of tribal voices come at you. No glitz, no glam, just deep and rich voices singing songs of the heart and the Earth Mother. Stirring your soul, reviving long lost memories of yourself living in harmony with all that exists! Within and without. The starry skies and the sparkling drops of the morning dew. The bountiful nature and swaying trees, rolling hills and flowing waterfalls. Multi-colored creatures of the seas or the lands, and our own species, the human, with its warmth and its kindness. It touches every chord in your heart and your eyes get all watery, blurring your sight. The short lived loss of eyesight gives your soul room to submerge into form and tears start running down your cheeks. The flowing drops of movement.

Why can‘t messages for love, peace, hope, new dreams, and miracles be just as emotionally provocative as any modern day blockbuster? 

* The New Age *

Beautiful friends, dear family of light, near and far! 

I’m so grateful for sharing these magnificent times with you* With my heart filled with love and laughter,  I wish you transformational days ahead* I trust the journey and the shift will be a pleasant and enjoyable one and that we will all meet and celebrate the birth of a new age together in Spirit. The eye of the cosmic heart is open and sending us strength and courage.

This morning I heard a knock on the door that woke me from my sleep. I went to the door but there was no one there, in this dimension at least ;) I know it was THE wake-up call* The tribe is gathering and we are being summoned! The soft yet strong and nourishing female vibration is awakened and taking its place in sacred union with the masculine. Beautiful* Let us be the change, trust our intuition and increase our receptivity. That is what the moon teaches us. So effortless receptivity, it can’t help it. It is the moon’s nature and by being true to its ways, it receives and gives. True freedom* And above all let us not forget the childlike innocence and to have fun and laugh. Life is so filled with wonders and beauty* LIFE, and our role within it when taken seriously, can be such a burden when taken too seriously ;) True reverence for all there is, is filled with LIGHT and CREATION*

Love and freedom to all ~ and Joyous celebration of the Solstice and birth of Light/Journey into the Dark* How existence reflects its components in the opposite, creating Oneness, Beautiful! All interconnected! It’s absolutely amazing, truly STELLAR ;) *

Blessings, Hugs and kisses,

from my Sacred Heart to your Sacred Hearts ~ One Love

The Journey*

~ We were so close we could almost smell the sweet aroma of burning wood, the scent reaching out to us, swirling like dancers, the spirits of the North in disguise  alluring like sirens. The moment of gathering was steadily ripening and it longed for our presence.  The fires at Wisdom Rock had been lit, we could feel it in our bones. The journeying continued..

Female ~ Male Unison Tree

Embracing the Sacred Union of the Feminine and Masculine as One

12 * 12 * 12

12 ~ 12 ~ 12

What a spectacular set of numbers, and without a doubt, with equally miraculous energies stemming from their frequency. I wonder what pattern the sound vibration from 12 ~ 12 ~ 12 would look like?

Gateway, Power of Consciousness, Global awareness, Window of Possibility for an Evolutionary Leap, Healing & Cleansing the Past, .... There are so many keywords for today.

On a day like this its hard for a girl like me not to feel like I'm maybe missing out on something, not prepared enough, should I have done something different? Made other choices for today? Perhaps this was the day for getting married even? It will never come again as long as I live this triple digit number-magic! With its favorable vibrations! On the other hand, according to solar astrology, or in simpler terms when following the natural rhythms and cycles of our Earth, I would rather prefer the ceremony of a long lasting love union to be performed and celebrated after the winter solstice, when the light is increasing. As I live in the Northern hemisphere. Now is so much darkness, we'll reach the North shores in a few days. With the Earth element to build a lovers foundation on.

So you see, ... hahaahhahahhaah... life is so funny :) * One can become quite confused so to speak when leading a spiritual life ;) I'm part substance, finding a way for me and my spirit to live in oneness and harmony. So the preceding paragraph casts a light on a natural human feeling, that I'm clearly not denying, though I should know better than to have them. And that is what I find so amusing.

I, we, are doing our best to just be in the flow of life, feel everything is OK. We are following a spiritual path.  But nevertheless the humps and bumps are there.. So on a day like this, in a month like this, a year like this.. I'm quite sure I'm not the only modern 'hippie girl' one minute wondering if I should have been more prepared, or at least make sure today will be wonderful, but the next minute thinking just to skip it all.. go to the sea and just sit and listen* Well well well... SO BE IT* What ever it will be. 

What a Miraculous Day for Wondrous Weaving s * 

O Harmony Moon O

From the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse on the 28th of November*

I just felt like writing, enjoy*

...waxing waxing, miraculous moon, 
in Gemini I‘ll find you soon 
Basking in your Fullness glow 
I‘ll dance, I‘ll flow.. I do love you so

A momentous day today will be,

as the Sun, the Earth and You and I
aligned from our core into the sky
we'll weave the threads for all to see

The threads of Light, of Love and Peace
The wish for All to live at ease
In harmony we laugh and thrive
As One we are the fabric of life
Always joyous, always Light
The Beauty granting clarity of sight

It‘s Now, it‘s time, for us to recall
that All united big or small
we constantly create Life‘s Rainbow Art
and are thy Grace, thy Wisdom of Heart
