Etsy

An online marketplace for selling and buying all things handmade!

It's like shopping at the artists market, but from your own home. I discovered the website just in time for Christmas and along with my trip to Blue Banana Market in Toronto, have managed to get almost everyone on my list home made gifts.


Every morning, when we wake up, we have twenty-four brand-new hours to live. What a precious gift! We have the capacity to live in a way that these twenty-four hours will bring peace, joy, and happiness to ourselves and others.

Peace is present right here and now, in ourselves and in everything we do and see. The Question is whether or not we are in touch with it. We don't have to travel far away to enjoy the blue sky. We don't have to leave our city or even our neighborhood to enjoy the eyes of a beautiful child. Even the air we breathe can be a source of joy.

We can smile, breathe, walk, and eat our meals in a way that allows us to be in touch with the abundance of happiness that is available. We are very good at preparing to live, but not very good at living. We know how to sacrifice ten years for a diploma, and we are willing to work very hard to get a job, a car, a house, and so on. But we have difficulty remembering that we are alive at the present moment, the only moment there is for us to be alive.

Every breath we take, every step we make, can be filled with peace, joy, and serenity. We need only to be awake, alive in the present moment. ... Thich Nhat Hanh

Cleared out

[more...]

If at all possible to imagine for a moment what it would feel like to touch electricity, that is what I have been feeling today. At times I will feel a twitch or a pinch or a prickle and upon contact with my hand I would feel currents of electricity traveling under the skin. It seems to be localized to the neck area though I did feel it also in my feet.

Since the initial reiki session I have been experiencing a course of emotions arise within me. I am assured that this is natural and to simply allow them to arise and take their course. As the days go by I am re-membering ... events shrouded and concealed . Memories of things that people have done. And these memories are creating emotional and mental pressures. I found myself feeling transcendently repulsed by a particular individual, though I was able to 'work through' it during my session. I wonder to myself how I ever made it through those years. God granted me much strength. As these memories swarmed my mind I felt my chest becoming increasingly hot. Placing my fingertips at the center I felt a burning and spinning sensation. It was as though there was a wheel of fire beneath the skin, growing hotter and hotter.

Final day of the cleanse yesterday. The seven days sailed smoothly. Had one of the boys do my body composition and not a lb of lean muscle lost, thankfully. Weight hasn't fluctuated much minus a few lbs of fat. Skin and hair looking much better. Physically, feeling incredible.

Strange thing the other night, caught myself sleep walking. I don't recall ever walking in my sleep before. The night was a rough night with a lot of non-sensical dreams. I woke up, as when I first started to have these symptoms, several times throughout the night. At one point I opened my eyes and realized I was in the kitchen. Just standing there.

Session was good [more later]. On Yanna's advice I am going for a massage. I have a friend who is a registered massage therapist and he has some background in healing techniques, and it won't cost me a thing :-)
