Here and Now...What's Happening?

Mojo, marjoram essential oil is a vasodilator, which causes the veins to widen a bit, and that lowers BP. Be sure to get the essential oil that carries a botanical name ... Origanum Marjorana.
Blend it in vegetable or nut oil, PM me if you want directions on how much. Here's a web page with more info. http://www.essentialoils.co.za/essen...s/marjoram.htm

Jiagoulan A strong vasodilator.

Thank you all...

updating.

Saw the house was on the top of my list.

It's a dump. Carpets stinky, bathrooms barely usable.
But..

It has just been sold, tenants removed and new owners
are starting work this weekend ripping up carpets, sanding floors,
re-painting and renovating bathrooms.
I'm first on the list and i will know in 24 hours.

It's perfect in so many ways.
The area is back were i was before... no accidents as i have
to finish up projects in that part of town anyway.
Only now I'm considering doing an eco development with my parcel
of land myself, where as before i was just going to sell it.

Amazing what taking a year off and working on yourself can do.
This next house is not the garden hermit haven that this one was,
it screams, get on with it...

All is perfect, all is beautiful,
my down time is heading to an end, this next phase is going to be seriously busy,
but all in the right ways.


listening to this soundtrack right now

Wow Astrid, fingers crossed. I so hope you get it.
I honestly can't see why not.
I would imagine you to be everyone 's dream tenant.
Like, what they say about cars with one lady owner,
better taken care of than the normal car would be.

[astrid]

yes.. well i was even considering offering to take it as it is for lower rent and do it all myself,
i will sleep on it. I might be asking for trouble doing it that way.

Its a big place, and probably false economy given that I'm such a perfectionist,
i would just get stuck working on someone else's project.
Better to get a glup, housemate, and work at saving my time and money for my own
pile of projects.

I still think this is all so uncanny how I'm going away for 10 days on a study trip.
and coming back to a whole new life. It's quite an extraordinary turn of events.

I had a dream many years ago which was a very lucid spiritual dream (what i term "One of those Dreams!"), in which Archangel Michael refused to take me and Archangel Gabriel stepped in and said "I will have him".

When I awoke this left me very despondant and upset, jubilant and touched by Archangel Gabriel of course but being spurned by Michael was too much.

Apart from seeing an Angel once just before an accident that left me in a coma for a week, I have never really given much thought to the angelic realm, until a very kind poster here shared some invocations for me.

I was reading in particular the ones associated with Archangel Michael and recited one, I then went on to meditate a visualisation in which Michael lay his sword across me and it was absorbed within me for all time for protection.

Soon after I fell asleep.

Then with a start my phone gave out a loud beep signalling a text message had arrived, at that instant that I leapt up and awoke and I heard the words very loud and very clear ringing in my head, they were "YOURE SO CHOSEN!".

This is the truth, at first slightly dizzy from sleep it just shocked me with the clarity but then I began to piece it together, all it was is that I had to accept Archangel Michael!

Yep, the veil is thinning I am on the side of light, WHO'S WITH ME?

Blessings

Astrid, your house-finding adventure is an inspiration in patience and staying in touch with your inner self to find your way. I love every post where you keep us informed, and I know you will find the perfect place!!

Mark, thank you for your heartfelt posts. You are so chosen!

I've been taking pics on my phone some mornings as I leave for work. I've forgotten to upload them when I get here, so have a few ... spring time on the mountain at the homestead.

My dad's duelly truck that everyone borrows. This is up near the big garden that my brother planted this year. The sun was rising.

Same porch photo as before, but more growth now. And I have the little seed starter pots planted with herbs. I planted ten magical basil plants for a friend (basil brings in abundance and new business), using a technique Ruby L told me, you put the seeds on the tip of your tongue and hold them in closed mouth for a second, with your intention for them. Then plant as normal. I had planted some seeds the week before and they were just poking up when I planted the magical basil ones, in a fertile sign with waxing moon. Those basil seeds busted out in two days! They caught up with the ones planted days before.

Here's pineapple sage. The leaves smell just like fresh pineapple. It grows tall if planted in the ground, probably 6-7' by the end of the season. In NH it took all summer to bloom. Here in Alabama, it was already blooming when I bought it. It's tender and doesn't winter over if left outdoors.
At the bottom left to right is lemon balm, sweet woodruff, and lemon verbena.

Here's my hanging culinary basket, just outside the door so I can snip fresh herbs for cooking. I have parsley, marjoram, thyme, and sage. Thyme is a good herb to have, is a strong germicide. Doctors used thyme essential oil on wound dressings before the days of antibiotics, to keep down infections. It's actually more effective than antibiotics in some cases. So easy to grow, tolerates many conditions, doesn't need a lot of water, spreads year after year. And fairies come around it, so they say.

Lemon verbena, happy to pose for me. This is the most intensely lemon-flavored herb I've found. Makes a wonderful tea by itself or added to other herbs.

I'm taking up lots of room in the village today. Getting to work now. Love and happy times to all. xx

Awesome, Mark, I'm with ya buddy!

It's been over a week since I got back from the awesome London meetup. Only just recovering from the frantic energies of the big city. Been grounding in quiet hermit mode, but popping into the Village and enjoying the vibes. For everyone needing support I've been holding space for ya's!

Enjoyed the meetup so much. Everyone one was amazing. Six hours went by way too quickly but I could see it was probably time to leave for my friends sake! To be honest I could have stayed alot longer and next time i'l go it alone, altho to be fair to my friend she found everyone lovely.

Got back home and my laptops gone again so back on phone. Il just have to buy a new one when I find my cash feet again. Need to get to the barn!

Marianne I'm not seeing any of the pictures ?? sniff...

Spending the day at home. My car is at the garage having its spring tune-up and installation of summer tires (yeah !). I need to work on some documents for polarity therapy course I will be starting this weekend. It is really nice out, so I will get my small table installed on my princess balcony (out from my room). This way I will still be spending most of my day outside. The lilacs are in flower and are filling the air with their fragrance. They are my favourite flowers.

Help has come for the Garden... grateful. All is on schedule for the planting on Thursday. No cabbage in the garden WCBD

I love you All.

Just to make it absolutely clear, we are all chosen even if we do not consider it so or decide to choose
to not wanting to be chosen, whether you like it or not you are loved, tough!

P.S. I am not developing a God complex, I will leave that to the politicians and celebrities, but I am an unshakeable force and tool
for the light, always.

[Marianne]

Samsara, not sure why you aren't seeing pics. Anyone else missing them?
They are also in my home album on my profile.
Yahh, help for the garden!
Are you taking a course in polarity therapy, or giving it? It's an interest of mine too. My reiki teacher used it along with reiki, so many of my methods incorporate it because of what she taught me. One of my favs is balancing the chakras using reiki. (crown to heart, third eye to solar plexus, throat to sacral, heart to root)
Love-love-love lilacs! It's the state flower of New Hampshire, there are hedges and hedges of them growing wild.

Here and Now...Sitting outside, enjoying the fresh air...and this:



Wondering what I should do about the mushrooms...



And watching Em's wildflowers grow...



Much Love,

Hmm... I closed the browser and they have now all appeared ! Beautiful ! Thank you for sharing.

I am taking a course in polarity therapy. It is a two year course - one weekend per month and very structured and complete. I plan to used it along with Reiki also. I also started Healing Touch Program last month... this one I really, really like (http://www.healingtouchprogram.com) There is a technique that I can use in palliative care... it is quite sacred and I cried when I first saw it ... too much beauty does this to me.

This is what my time off from work is doing to me... Creating space for something new. My daughter (who is a massage therapist and Reiki practitioner) and I are now dreaming our health centre.... probably alongside an esoteric boutique. Dreaming.

Headges of lilacs.... heaven!

Mark, thank you for your heartfelt posts. You are so chosen!

Yes, it is that I am chosen as well (as we all are, in our own way), but I still have to wipe my own ass.

It's not fair, I tell you!

[Carmody]

My thought for the moment: If one takes on and succeeds with a complex and difficult life, what is the reward?

Why..one more complex and more difficult. One you chose yourself.

Otherwise.... the system of incarnation would fail (if the choice was not self made).

Which is the origin and why of Plato's remark, 'Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle'.

Not sure, but chosen might be copyrighted or trademarked. Hopefully the lawyers missed it. LOL

This is what your posts reminded me of, and also Carmody's post.

"When I contemplate, O my God, the relationship that bindeth me to Thee,
I am moved to proclaim to all created things 'verily I am God!';
and when I consider my own self, lo, I find it coarser than clay!"
Quote from Baha'u'llah
