  Autumn Autumn in many ways represents ‘letting go’. Letting go of a past season, past experiences, anything we have been holding on to, consciously or subconsciously. Releasing things that are important to us is not easy. Whether these things are tangible or intangible. Even when we know it is time to 'let go’, for a greater good, parting with something we have held dear can be a complex internal process. What might make this process a little easier is to know that after letting go of something that has meant great importance to us, we are moving towards something...

  Dear Friends, There is a group around the world that has been working for a more peaceful and loving world for all of us, holding meditations every day. I am honoured to be part of this group. For the May Spirit Circle, I brought a meditation from this group. The meditation was a prayer to Archangel Michael. Archangel Michael is the Archangel of protection, and is often depicted with a sword of light. He is described as the leader of the angels who fights against evil and tirelessly protects good. He is thought to be the main Archangel of...

  Happy Holidays! I would like to dedicate this holiday newsletter to the chakras. Partly because the colours of the holidays correspond to the colours of three out of the seven main chakras - green, white and red - and partly because I am introducing a new guided meditation in the spirit of the holidays. This meditation is about the third eye chakra, and the purpose of the meditation is to strengthen our intuitive abilities, in particular our inner seeing. Chakras are energy centres that are connected to our aura, a multi-layered energy field around us. The concept of chakras...

  To Family ❤️   I would like to dedicate this newsletter to family. Family is a beautiful and broad term. Family comes in all shapes and forms. Family to me means the people I feel a deep bond with. The people I love, I care for, and the ones who care for me. I spent an amazing month this summer with my family in Hungary. My children and I were loved and cherished by my parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and all relatives and friends. When I came back to Canada, I felt I came back to my second...

Most of them I saw as magnificent living creatures in their natural habitats, and some I came into contact with as amazing pieces of art like the dragon and the snail at the Butchart Gardens. 2024 is the Year of the Wood Dragon, according to the Chinese calendar. In Chinese culture, the Dragon holds...

The sentiment of this expression is generally attributed to the Roman naval commander, Gaius Plinius Secundus, known to historians as Pliny the Elder (a.d. 23-79). I would like to dedicate this spring newsletter to the people we love and cherish the most. Our true home is where the people we...

Should auld acquaintance be forgot, And days o’ lang syne! For auld lang syne, my Dear, For auld lang syne, We’ll tak a cup o’ kindness yet, For auld lang syne. We twa hae run about the braes, And pu’t the gowans fine; But we’ve wander’d mony a weary foot, Sin auld lang syne. We twa hae paidlet i’ the burn, Frae mornin’ sun till dine: But seas between us braid hae roar’d, Sin auld lang syne....

  A Great Wagon When I see your face, the stones start spinning! You appear; all studying wanders. I lose my place. Water turns pearly. Fire dies down and doesn’t destroy. In your presence I don’t want what I thought I wanted, those three little hanging lamps. Inside your face the ancient manuscripts Seem like rusty mirrors. You breathe; new shapes appear, and the music of a desire as widespread as Spring begins to move like a great wagon. Drive slowly. Some of us walking alongside are lame! ~ Today, like every other day, we wake up empty and frightened....
