“WISDOM BEGINS WITH WONDER.” SocratesThis quote was on the page of my journal as I went to write in it this morning. Apparently this message is one that I need to sink in, as I also drew The Jewel of the Sea card from my Faery Wisdom Deck by Amy Brown.This card deals with being willing to dive into the depths of wonder. Let me know if this resonates for any of you. “The mysteries of the sea

I had shared this revelation lately with a friend and felt that I neededto do so, on this blog as well. We are no different than nature. We have our ebbs and flows, our high tides and low tides. We have our storms and our calms. We must be able to ride them all with ease and grace. In fact, our true character is shown through the ebbs, the lows and the storms. In this "new age" movement, every

One of my favourite quotes is by Joseph Campbell which is "Follow your bliss, and the universe will open doors for you where before there were only walls." This morning when I was doing my gratitude journaling, the quote on the bottom of the page said, "Follow your Bliss." Now by noon time, I was really feeling that I wanted to sit in a sunbeam and just soak up the warmth from it. I pulled a

This past Saturday evening, we headed out to go to an event with the Calgary Jazz Orchestra and Toe Tapping Swing. They presented An Evening with Al Capone. To be honest, I wasn't really sure what this event would be like and really didn't know what to expect. On the way driving there, a black squirrel went bounding ahead of the car. I made a note to check again on the squirrel meaning and

I have also spoken with many other people lately who have suffered loss.

The great thing about this is it is a free event to do. Whether tobogganing, outdoor skating or just going for a lovely walk and taking in the scenery, not only will the children love this, but the inner

May they help to bring you exactly what your heart desires.SelfI am one with the power that created me and this power has given me the power to create my own circumstances.

I want to send a huge thank you to two young boys who came to my rescue on a side street in Airdrie, Alberta. Their names were Brayden and Trevor. I had parked my car on a side street to go to a meeting, and unfortunately there was plenty of that soft sticky snow where I parked. There was just enough of snow to grab my passenger front tire. I had not yet put my winter tires on, so the snow had a

by S. Roger Joyeux Reiki, Huna Kane, Healing Touch, the laying of hands, and crystal healing all have one thing in common.  Each healing modality uses light to do the healing.  In truth, light is the only thing that actually does the healing.  What a simple principle!  Find a way for light to enter an area of disease or injury, and the healing begins.  Find a way to get enough light to the

TAI CHI CHIH AND MUSIC I have been listening to Caroline Myss’ Chakra Meditation Music while doing my Tai Chi Chih set in the morning. My morning routine consists of waking, petting the cat, bathroom necessities, and an ounce of YJuice. That tasty tonic wakes me up the rest of the way, so I press play on the CD and start my Tai Chi warm-ups. The CD contains both morning and evening meditations.

By Helena KalivodaThe most important benefit of living from your heart is the heightened state of your awareness. Through your raised consciousness other benefits appear of their own accord, as they were not visible or readily available to you before. When the heart is closed and cold, the mood is sad and all feels dark and heavy. Through opening your heart, your heaviness lifts. You become

Here are some strategies for eating out at a buffet:• If it is a group decision to go to a buffet, and you are uncomfortable with that choice, ask if anyone minds going somewhere else. If you feel supported, explain that to the people in your group.• Ask if you could meet them at the restaurant after they eat. Or say that you are tied up until then, and you will come for a coffee after instead.•

Your heart has its own intelligence. It is the first organ that develops in your mother’s womb. The heart is fully formed at 20 days and starts to beat at 21 to 22 days. It pumps blood and delivers oxygen throughout your body.Your heart, as a physical organ, has its counterpart, an etheric heart, which is in charge of the physical heart. This etheric heart of yours is connected to your planetary

There ended up being construction going down to one lane and he ended up being directly behind me. What I witnessed has very disturbing to me.

After taking off two months recently to help my mother move off the family farm, I realized just how much “stuff” we accumulate. Upon returning to my Calgary home, I was determined to do some de-cluttering myself. I am proud to say that I was able to rearrange our garage so that two cars can now fit in it...and with the colder weather coming, that is such a blessing. No scrapping the

With the sun shining now for the first time in a long time, and for having warmer weather yesterday, on the first day of fall, having acceptance for the weather is pretty easy. But what happens when we have day after day of overcast skies? I was recently asked to reflect on the word “Acceptance” and what it really means. My first thoughts went to “Self Acceptance” and at times how hard it is.

Yesterday with the beautiful sun finally out again, I forced myself out to go for a walk and just get some fresh air into these lungs. As I was walking, I spotted a penny on the sidewalk, which made me smile deep in my soul. It made me think of the poem, Pennies from Heaven. Here is a quick excerpt:“Grandpa said when an angel misses youThey toss a penny downSometimes just to cheer you upMake a

Last night I attended David Suzuki’s lecture in Calgary. There were some key points that he said that really resonated with me.1. His view: We need to be treating other species on our earth as relatives (ones we like!), NOT resources. My view: It absolutely disturbs me to see people throw their garbage on the ground. We do not go into people’s homes and throw garbage on their floors,so why do

By S. Roger Joyeux In the Early ‘90’s, I acquired a couple of very nice cut gemstones of pink tourmaline in a Chinese auction for the low, low price of $60. They immediately went into the very blessed pearl-shell carrying-case that I received from Gurumayi Chidvalasanda, Siddha Yoga Guru, when I visited her ashram in 1990. I knew even then that these stones would eventually be placed in an
