“a time of balance”

I’m at the supermarket with my darling sweet-pea faerie when I bumped into a goddess sistar friend and she notices I have a cinnamon broom in my shopping cart …she knows me well so it wasn’t a big surprise, but she made a comment about it anyway. She said: “you have your broom ready?” to which I replied: “yes, I get them every year”. She laughed and asked: “but what do you do with them?” and I said:” I usually have two, one at the front door and one parked in the back. I never know which door I’ll take to head out for a quick fly by 🙂 Then I take the old brooms and burn them in the bonfire the night of the equinox” this has been a personal tradition for years.

What does this time of the year bring, why is it such a big deal??

Well, for so many reasons. As we stand at the gateway of every seasonal change we are flooded by its delightful gifts and blessings. We’re at the time of the Autumnal Equinox ..one of my favorite seasonal transitions. I love so many things about this time of the year, but specially how Mother Earth begins to gradually change her gown and her colors flow from the bright colorful greens and reds of a hot summer to browns, oranges and yellows of fall. I also enjoy observing how we flow through the transitional phase of the season. Our attitudes shift in every way, we are getting ready for cooler temperatures, longer nights, the food we eat changes, the clothes we wear, its such a deep convergence. And because it is so there is a day of complete equality. The Equinox is a time of balance. No one gets more than another, its all equal. We’re all receivers. And the beauty about receiving is that the jubilee we feel as we receive lets go of aaaall resistance and that bliss we send off is what source is reading and, therefore, sending more in. keeping the balance, the ebb and flow. Just like that, Source and Creation exchange, interchange, share, there is relationship that can flow so smoothly when we let it. It’s the way it works, ask and you will receive.
Its great knowledge to have when we truly understand this. Its very important because we are directly affected by every seasonal change, and when we’re not having positive experience with it, during it, then that’s telling us we’re holding resistance against something, it needs our attention and must be addressed so we can move on. When we resist we stop receiving. Our emotions are how we read the flow of our life experience. It’s a lovely process 🙂
So take a short moment and check in with yourself, see what your emotions are telling you. Honor that side of you that connects you to the vibration of source. Match your creative intention to that vibration and create your life as you dream it. This time of year is a perfect time to start anew. Join in the seasonal festivities, surround yourself and your every thought with positive energy. Celebrate your life by honoring your self and your ability to create. Flow. Life is fun! InJoy

Back In Mendoza

Vacations are great, that’s for sure, but going back home after 2 decades is amazing. A rush of emotions as each memory passes thru faster than lighting. A super intense feeling. The adrenaline rushing thru my body while in transit, the anticipation of seeing the faces of the people from my childhood; neighbors, old friends, relatives ..new and old.

Coming back home after 21 yrs was indeed the best thing I could’ve done. Bringing Ollie Butterfly was a super bonus, the gift of a lifetime to myself, my sweet little darling and my family. Such a healing experience.

There is so much energy moving thru my being, healing old wounds, creating new memories, and revisiting good old ones, and not just for myself but for my family. To watch my little darling play with my dad, and run around the house, climbing the fence I use to climb, walking the streets I use to play on as a child…it fills my heart and soul with the purest love, purest joy … it’s a wonderful life!

We have arrived, we are in Mendoza, as I walk down the airplane stairs and walk Mendoza ground I take a second to look around and acknowledge the gorgeous country land of my birth place. I love this land with all my heart. There is so much of me here, no matter how long it has been.

I eagerly walk inside the tiny international airport, grab my luggage and head over towards the exit where I should see  familiar faces …. And yes, there they are, my family, my loved ones, my lineage. Those connected to us holding space here. My hometown rests at the foot of the majestic Andean Mountains, it is a dream land …. humble but spunky, and with such great potential. ….ahhhh whatta beautiful place!! The adventure begins……

My heart pounding, my mind creating so many possibilities of the many amazing memories that are about to be created, my entire being anticipating the heart rushing experience this is about to be.

Im here only 2 weeks and with so much to discover, to crunch into this short amount of time ..so priorities are important to keep. Where does my heart take me first?

The neighborhood hasn’t changed even though there are things that are new but many things that are not, it continues to be something I notice with each passing day. At first I could not recognize a street. We parked in front of my childhood home and I hadnt even noticed; but as the days go by I realize how much things have stayed the same.

Reconnecting with friends, meeting their children, their new families, it was such a sweet treat. Spending time at home with dad and my gramms …just as it was before, when I young. I love the simple things that never change, like waiting for the produce guy who parks outside the house and honks the horn so the housewives come out with their baskets to get the fresh veggies of the day. Or expecting the neighbors in the morning to stop by the house for “mate” as they’re on their way to the bakery. To look outside the front door and see the majesty of the Andes and its beautiful peaks dancing with the clouds, inviting to be discovered, explored.

I had the sweet opportunity to visit the mountain and gather with some truly incredible beings. What a journey!

We headed out around 5am, hopped on a cab and were on our way to the bus terminal, where we started a truly unique experience, we were on our way to visit two holy places of the beautiful dry lands in the Valley of Cuyo.  I’ve done this trip before many times as a child, but I didn’t know the impact this was going to have on me and my life this time.

Mendoza is a place full of treasures of many kinds. The ancients of the land, the High Spirits of the Andes live deep in every corner and whisper in guidance of where to go and what to see. These are shamans like never seen before who for eons have learned the earth medicine and celestial stellar connection of the intra-terrestrial beings. Sharing bread, wine and the fruits of the land while gathered around the fire high up in the mountains, looking into the city lights, hearing the chief’s words, reaching deep into the core of the self, pulling out old stuck baggage and enjoying the feeling of lightness as we dance to the ancient sounds of the nature spirits, the flute the guitar and the thumping of the gaucho’s taco as he dances the malambo, the heartbeat of the community of the land. The mind has no choice but to let go and become one with the land, to expand into this sweet divine awareness of life!

God is real. The breath of life is real. We are here as proof of it. Every experience is so pure and for Universe to feel its own capacity and strength of Love for its own creation, for self, for its own strength. LoveSelf for SelfLove. We have this ability in us and when we are able to “see it so” it can change one’s view about everything. Communing with the stars as they twinkle high up in the night sky and to witness their journey spiraling down to meet us eye to eye, face to face, to dance with us around the fire…. this is a rush like no other. “The Raku lives in me!” I remember thinking, …feeling.

Every trip I make to Mendoza is extraordinary but this time it was literally out of this world. I traveled to visit my people and found so much more than my imagination had prepared for. The initiation between Heaven and Earth, GaiaMa and StarMa was a most magical moment in my life. The awakening of Raku, the unfolding of this energy, the uncoiling of such kundalini force moving through my Being was a moment that will stay with me for always. To witness the circle of Ascended Masters, the ArchAngelic Lights, the Federation of Light, the White Brotherhood… all beautiful radiant Energies sharing common space within notime/nowhere/here/now to deliver such a powerful message of Earth healing was absolutely divine.

….I walk down the mountain with my baby girl in my arms feeling replenished and renewed. Like im still me but a whole new me. I took a breath and felt as if it was my very first time breathing. My eyes could see the brightness in all, the true radiance of the Earth. Every cell in my body danced the symphony of Joy.

So here I am, coming back to America with a chest full of treasures and an arsenal full of LoveIntention ready to share with you, my family, my world.

From the Mendoza Valley of Argentina I present to you the Andean Reiki Activation to help you transform and transmute your own power to ignite your creative essence.

For your congested little one.

Because there is nothing more heart-wrenching than watching your baby struggle with a cold or flu.

Feeling sick is uncomfortable, the body aches and feels like it drags, the nose runs nonstop, sneezing on everything and everyone …its a mess! Imagine how our precious little angels feel when sickie, and, for the younger ones who cant speak yet it must be aweful! and the last thing you want to do is slather him or her in toxic chemicals! While they are building their imune system by “processing” this cold there are  very cool things we can do to help them feel a bit more rested. I’ve tried these few things with my little sunlight and it seems to help her a lot.

With the changing season and the weather shifting my little darling got her first cold last week. I know when in need is good to have it, but I am not a big fan of western medications, and for infants its not even recommended to medicate. …So I used every baby cold home remedy I could think of to try to make her comfortable while she kicked the nasty germs.

I combined all of these things during the day and specially at bedtime, and we slept through the night on her sickest evenings! 😉
These are great for everyone in the house dealing with a cold

1) Humidifier/Difuser – These little machines are awesome. Fill’em up with water, and it makes your baby’s room as humid as a tropical rain forest. This helps keep their little noses and mouths from feeling dry from all of that congestion. And you can add a few drops of either Eucalyptus, Camphor or Peppermint Oil to the water and it will also keep the air clean from germs.
*note: if you dont have a difuser and/or humidifier then right before bedtime boil some water in a saucepan and add a few drops of oil and let the steam do its magic. If possible let it stand in the bedroom so the steam cleanses and moistens the air in the room.

2) HM Vapor Rub – Yes, you can purchase vapor rub for infants at the store, but if you look at the contents you will find it has petroleum jelly and “fragrance”, among other hard to pronounce ingredients. …if you cant pronounce it you dont want it in or on your self. …so thanks but no thanks! Specially when its so easy to make your own vapor rub at home. You’ll find this simple recipe below 😉

3) Herbal Tea (chamomile worked well) with a touch of honey, fresh sqzd lemon juice, a small slice of fresh ginger and fresh mint leaves from the garden. I placed it in her bottle and she sipped it, enjoyed it and helped soothe her irritated little throat

Easy to DIY Remedy: Baby Cold HomeMade Vapor Rub

Not only is it easy to make your own vapor rub, but very cost effective. The essential oil is an investment up front, but it only takes 5-7 drops to make a batch of vapor rub. Darrol was sick for 4 days, and I barely put a dent in the batch that I made for him. You can also use this mixture for grown up colds!

Ingredients and Supplies

~ 2 tablespoons coconut oil or olive oil
~ 5-7 drops eucalyptus oil
~ small, clean glass container – I used an empty baby food jar

Directions

1. Combine the oils in your container, screw on the lid, and give it a good shake.

2. Dip your finger into the vapor rub and massage onto your baby’s chest and back when he needs a little relief.

Helpful facts:
Never put straight essential oil on your baby’s skin. Always best if diluted in water or a carrier oil.(coconut oil, grapeseed oil, olive oil)

There are other essential oils that work well for congestion: peppermint, lavender, and rosemary are some to try.
Lavender is also a good oil to use if the baby has a fever.

Chamomile Tea is safe for babies

The Benefits of Yoga for the entire family

The first 5 years of a soul’s re-entry to a human body is to re adapt itself to life in this vibration and to learn the “new ways” of the human race, the advances in humankind. These 5 years serve as foundation in building a future. According to clinical studies, in the area of child development the first 11 years are where a child learns and becomes the future adult.
Adopting a regular practice of yoga with the children is incredibly helpful in the progress of their growth and in the bond between them and the rest of the family.
As a yoga teacher and a mom I experience the sweet reward of practicing yoga with my baby and noticing how much it gives to her and to us as a unit. Its remarkable the impact it has in the life of human beings. Olivia was about 6 months when I started teaching a Mommy & Me Yoga class and by now the class has developed into a Bring Your Baby Yoga class where mommies who cannot or choose not to leave their young children in the care of another to take a class get to bring them to practice. The babies learn by example. Its beautiful to see how the babies learn by example. So every Wednesday in the yoga shala we have babies of all ages so the class is catered to mommas with infants and toddlers. There is a community potluck running from 12:30 to about 2:30 where we all sit and catch up while the little ones continue to play. Its a beautiful way to spend the day!

How is yoga beneficial for our children?

Babies are natural yogis!

They develop through yoga poses, which aid in their gross and fine motor skills.

Yoga helps them to improve sleeping patterns both in duration and frequency, as well as encourages sleeping through the night.

Yoga poses and stretches for infants aid in digestion, constipation, and relieve gas and colic.

Yoga promotes bonding between parents and babies. Playful yoga songs and activities, as well as seeing other babies practice, help make the whole experience fun! Including tummy time, which is super great for mommies and fun for babies 😉

Soothing techniques like pranayama (breathwork), humming and massage, teach parents to help babies to calm themselves.

Increases body awareness, both for baby and parent. Yoga is a great way for Moms to strengthen their bodies, calm their minds, feel relaxed, and get back in shape.

Yoga reduces stress for both parents and babies because it stimulates the nervous system and promotes the natural healing process.

Baby Yoga creates balance between strength and flexibility in developing bodies, so they grow strong and maintain the flexibility they are born with.

Initiates social interaction in a non-competitive environment for both babies and new parents, it’s a great way to meet other new Moms and Dads becoming part of another branch within the community.

Healthy habits learned early in life become healthy habits for the rest of baby’s life.

Babies love yoga!

Yoga is excellent for movers and shakers too.

What are the benefits for the parent/caregiver?

There are many different methods used in the art of Divination.

Divination is the practice of ascertaining information from super-natural or non-physical sources by use of an object or objects, or to see an event or events which are not perceptible to the untrained eye. If a distinction is to be made with fortune-telling, divination has a formal or ritual and often social character, usually in a religious context; while fortune-telling is a more everyday practice for personal purposes.
Divination takes many forms and while some of the Craft will use several different techniques, everyone will end up with one favorite or more successful way of obtaining answers to their questions. Just about anything can be used as a divination tool and over the centuries just about everything has, some examples are Taromancy (Tarot Cards), Runecasting, Feng Shui, Palmistry, Candle Gazing and the long list goes on and on.
Witches and Pagans have always been credited with having special powers, with being able to see the unseen. This is merely a result of the awareness of our ability to work with our “Spirit Guides” and all other “energy friends” -to many known as “Divine Guidance”, as well as to look within, to obtain answers to the questions we seek.

Common methods of Divination include:

– Astrology (by celestial bodies)
– Ailuromancy (by the behaviour of felines; also called Felidomancy)
– Axinomancy (is one of several obscure methods of divination using an axe or hatchet **not practiced by true Wiccans -lovers and protectors of Nature)
– Bibliomancy (by book, frequently but not always a religious text)
– Bone divination (by examining and reading bones)
– Cartomancy (by cards, e.g., playing cards, tarot cards, oracle cards and non-tarot cards)
– Taromancy (by specially designed cards: Tarot)
– Cheiromancy (by the palms of the hands; also called Palmistry)
– Crystallomancy / Scrying / Dowsing (by crystals or other reflecting objects. Pendulum also called Radiesthesia)
– Extispicy (from the extra of sacrificed animals **not practiced by true Wiccans -lovers and protectors of Nature)
– Geomancy (by earth), includes Feng Shui divination modality
– Graphology (by handwriting)
– I Ching (ancient Chinese divination method) However, as performed by some diviners with heavy reliance on an accompanying I Ching manual, this is, in effect, also a form of Bibliomancy/Stichomancy
– Necromancy (communicating with the dead)
– Numerology (by numbers)
– Oneiromancy (by dreams)
– Onomancy (by names)
– Ouija (board divination)
– Padomancy (by the soles of one’s feet)
– Palmistry (by palm inspection)
– Phrenology (by the shape of one’s head)
– Pyromancy or Pyroscopy (by fire)
– Radiesthesia (by pendulum)
– Runecasting (by Runes)
– Scatomancy (by droppings, usually animal)
– Tasseography (by reading tea leaves)
– Theomancy (by oracles, channeling)

And the list goes on …

_____________________________________________

Cartomancy is a form of fortune-telling or divination using a deck of cards. The practice of cartomancy has been observed since playing cards first came into use, around the 14th century, in Europe. Practitioners of cartomancy are generally known as cartomancers, card readers or, simply, readers. Some believe that the true origin of cartomancy dates back to ancient Egyptian times, the art being derived from wisdom given to the ancient Egyptians by the scribe-god Thoth.

Chiromancy or cheiromancy, is the art of characterization and foretelling the future through the study of the palm, also known as palmistry, palm-reading, or hand analysis. The practice is found all over the world, with numerous cultural variations.
Modern palmistry can trace its roots back to gypsy fortune tellers and Indian mystics, but often modern palmists combine traditional predictive techniques with psychology, holistic healing, and alternative methods of divination.

Cheiromancy: (Greek cheir, “hand”; manteia, “divination”)

Hands have been of recorded interest to humanity as far back as 12,000-15,000 years ago. They have been studied by our ancestors as a means to unveil and understand the self and relationships with others. They believed the unique patterns of lines and signs in the hand come into being as a direct result of the way we live. Just as a pebble thrown into the water creates ripples, so our thoughts create similar effects on our palms.
Today Palmistry is accepted throughout the world. Professional palmists can be found reading palms in every country in the world. Major magazine and books have articles on Palmistry.

–

Dowsing is one of the oldest and easiest divining methods. Two applications of dowsing are popular; the first is general dowsing for water (also called water witching), or standing water, metal objects, base metals, crystals, gem stones, hidden objects, minerals, lost items, or people. The second is precise measurement of exact numbers.
When dowsing is done using a pendulum, it is called radiesthesia.

–

Scrying is the occult practice of using a medium, most commonly, a reflective surface or translucent body, to aid perceived psychic abilities such as clairvoyance. A crystal ball set on a matte black surface is the traditional “autoscope”. The media often used to “see” are water, polished precious stones, crystal balls, or mirrors. Scrying, in this context, uses a “visual” process. There are some who believe the art of scrying is not limited to the use of “reflective” or “translucent” bodies only, but includes other media. Scrying has been used since ancient times and in many cultures, as a means of seeing the past, present, or future.
“Scrying” comes from the Old English word descry meaning “to make out dimly” or “to reveal.”

–

Tasseography (or Tasseomancy) is a divination or fortune-telling method that interprets symbols and patterns created by loose tea leaves or coffee grounds in a cup. The term also refers to the reading of coffee grounds, especially in the Middle Eastern tradition. The Chinese have been reading tea leaves for thousands of years. The term has also been applied to the reading of wine sediments. The term derives from the French word tasse (cup), which in turn derives from the Arabic tassa (cup).

–

Theomancy is a form of divination by the use of oracles or channeling. An oracle could be a person or agency considered to be a source of wise counsel or prophetic opinion; an infallible authority, usually spiritual in nature. It may also be a revealed prediction or precognition of the future, from deities, spoken through another object (e.g.: cards, runes, shells, etc.) or life-form (e.g.: augury and auspice).
In the ancient world many sites gained a reputation for the dispensing of oracular wisdom, and they too became known as “oracles”.
Oracle derives from the Latin verb orare, to speak.
