STILLNESS

Before you read on, what does stillness mean to you?

We all have different interpretations of what this means depending on the level of our spiritual awareness. How often throughout the day, do you stop and just be in the moment? Even if you can say once, that is a great start. It is hard to be still when life is so busy and that time has sped up. For majority of us, we live with "monkey brain" too many thoughts and too many things to do and that makes it difficult to stop and be still or even to meditate.

There are so many benefits of trying to be still even if its for a few minutes at a time. Stillness is a form of meditation. We do not always have to sit and meditate to quiet the brain. It can be as simple as going for a walk and just focusing on the beauty that you see, or weeding your gardens and seeing the fruit of your labour or enjoying watching your children or animals playing, or washing the dishes and feeling the warm water and suds on your hands or being just present and listening to a loved one. When we stay focused on what we are doing, that is meditation and that quiets the mind. It is so therapeutic as it is an opportunity to calm the mind so it calms the body. When I am in the moment, it is also when I have my greatest connection to the Spirit realm. So try and be more aware of being in the moment and see how you feel. So many health benefits for taking a few moments every day to nurture your soul.

Mini Readings

Have you thought of having a reading but not feeling too sure what you will receive or what it entails for you? How about trying a 15 minute mini reading? I have hosted many of these mini readings for one person, bridal showers, womens luncheons and group events. I have done up to 20 readings per event. These readings are also done privately and not in a group - sometimes personal information comes through that you do not want to share.

These mini readings can be done in your home or in mine. The cost is $30 per person.

If you would like to learn more or book an event, please reach out to me.

HAPPINESS

How often do you feel happy or joy - daily, weekly, monthly? I have been given this a lot of thought lately because as of January I promised myself that this would be the year where I want to feel more happiness and joy in my life. I do not expect it to come to me as I could possibly be waiting and waiting for it... so I am choosing to go find things that make me feel good. I have lived most of life in survivor mode of one sort or another for so long that I no longer want to feel anything other than experiencing happiness, more laughter, more silliness, more giggles, more joy and feeling so content and at peace. I am choosing to live my life this way as we are creators of our own reality. So I have started a bucket list and writing and thinking of the things I want to do or see is bringing me joy. Here are a few things on my list that I will be doing shortly: going to a movie by myself; visiting and experiencing the Salt Caves in Vaughan; going hiking and finding crystals in Bancroft; driving to Ottawa and Montreal to spend quality times with my friends and much more.

So I ask you, what will be on your bucket list?
