Mijas

Mijas my love. My dear pueblo magico. So filled with sublime pleasures, you are a balm to the soul. Opening up your light soaked view to embrace weary travelers on their journey. 

I adore your purity, your grace, your essence, mi Mijas, my love. 

Yours is a radiant gleaming edifice upon a fecund, fertile land. I salute you my dear perfect place.

With your tiny lanes leading to nowhere and everywhere, I skip along the pathways of white brick and cobblestone, immersed in the simple joy of being.

This little magic spot on earth that you are is my wishing well. I send out a call from here to everywhere: Be your magic self!

Be outstanding naturally!

Be glorious with ease!

Be beautiful and free!

Let your mystery unfold slowly and gracefully for all seekers to behold.

Hygge

The Danish concept of Hygge (hue gah) relates to the practice of finding genuine satisfaction in the simple pleasure of home, hearth and family.

                 

It is the being at peace with whatever comforts appear before you and relishing in the myriad ways one can appreciate a warm fire, a cozy hug or a meal cooked with love.

Hygge is my New Year's resolution and I intend to make home life the center of my activity. From the comfortable base of home I will reach out to the world with healing service and work. 

                 

I charge you to find ways to express this simple principle in your own life. Bring a little Hygge into your space this year and see how it transforms you, your relationships and your health~

Bending Reality

Your ability to reshape your known reality by exiting it and entering into the timeless/spaceless dimension of divine Love consciousness is limitless. In order to bend reality as so many sages of old as well as current day teachers practice, you must simply let go of identification with your body, your possessions and the material world around you. Go to a quiet place and surrender all thoughts to one third eye opening mantra such as, "There is nothing but God."

Begin to breathe into this mantra, knowing God as Love and allowing this high, light frequency to take over your being. Dwell in this beautiful understanding until it becomes you and therefore you become as God. When you reach this state of communion, all appearances and mental knowledge about your reality will dissolve. You will find yourself, outside of time and beyond space. Here you can create easily every good and perfect thing. You can shape and design the highest and best life according to your greatest ideals. Enjoy this level of transcendence daily and your life will blossom as the rose~

Manifestation: A Walk in Hyde Park

You can have whatever you want, any good thing that your heart desires; you only need to believe. Like a flower seed that hasn't yet sprouted, the dreams you nurse take root and bear fruit to the degree that you water them with good measure and faith.

Be steadfast on your path even when the skies are grey, because you well know that as the rain pours, so will the flowers sprout. Choose a small thing today that you truly wish for and hold it in your mind's eye as an already established fact. Go about your day as a charmed receiver knowing the best is on its way to you, in rich and perfect form.

 

You're a winner every time. Nam Myoko Renghe Kyo!

Yoga Blows the Mind

Flexing into the splits during my yoga practice today, I came to realize that this exercise is not just a physical one, but a psychological and spiritual one as well. Stretching your body requires flexibility of mind and demands that you open and free all the channels within you that may be blocked with rigid beliefs.

Rigid ideas of what's possible and acceptable and okay can prevent us from not only expanding our mind to infinite dimensions, but flexing our muscles, tissues and bones in new and expansive ways. It is vital during yoga to free your mind, to relax your standards and assumptions, and to feel into novel ways of being. 

In order to do the splits, to extend our limbs to the highest degree, a liberation must occur in our minds and hearts. We have to set ourselves upon a higher vantage point to allow the body to transcend barriers of space and time and fixed posture. Yes, we must in yoga lean into infinity and in so doing stretch beyond our perceived physical limitations. 

In your practice today, permit your mind to wander away from its ego occupations. Just allow your body to melt into the poses. Give it no false boundaries and expectations and watch as it bends and folds with ease, splitting and opening on a cellular level to regenerate and restore the eternal nature of your being. 

Love is Alkaline

Pure unconditional love has the effect of being alkaline for the body. It is detoxifying, purifying and invigorating. When we immerse one another in a fllood of living light we help to heal not only the spirit, but the mind and body as well. 

Likewise, surrounding ourselves with loving energy dissipates dis-ease and clears toxic residue from our system. Next time you're feeling physically drained take a few moments to hug yourself, say "I love you" several times and imagine kisses of sweet light embracing each of your cells. You will be amazed at the healing results. Love heals~

Anima Mundi Apothecary

By far the most potent medicinal herbal tinctures that I have ever had, and I have had scores of them from all over the world, Anima Mundi Apothecary's elixirs are truly transformational tonics. I love the Corpus Lucem for its direct energy charge to the Love essence within. The taste is luscious and rich, and very addictive!

The Viridem is an exquisite green superfood tonic with rainforest herbs like moringa and sea foods like spirulina. I felt boosts of energy and clarity after drinking this elixir, not to mention the spiritual charge coming over me. I simply loves these blends.

The Blood tonic might very well be my favorite of all I've tried because of its intense cleansing and restorative action. I feel my eyes are clearer, my flexibility has increased, and my sleep is more deep and restful. And yes, the  color of the tonic is reminiscent of actual blood!

I was lucky to get all these items from Santa Barbara's Alchemy Spa Cafe, but they can also be ordered online and with a 40% discount throughout November! I love love love Anima Mundi herbals and will be buying them exclusively for all my herbal health needs.

Tarot on the Beach

Tarot and the ocean go hand in hand. The simple serenity of the seashore and the dynamic archetypes of the Tarot enhance and inspire each other. On this bright day enjoying Oceanview beach, I pulled three major arcana cards from the Wild Unknown deck.

First, The Fool: An innocent one approaching the field of infinite possibilities. A unique soul who risks all in order to fully embrace life, to experience all the magnificence that living has to offer. This sweet, sometimes foolhardy creature steps out on faith, lives by grace and in so doing embarks upon a hero's journey filled with adventure and excitement. For the Fool, life is no dull moment. 

Second, The Lovers: Two joined in holy love, soaring together to the depths and hieghts of communion and integration with another soul. Mates for life for whom nothing can cause separation, joined as they are in spirit. These two complement one another and exists in tandem, they communicate telepathically, transform during sexual union into one being, and together reach spiritual dimensions far and beyond what is acheivable alone. 

Lastly, The Magician: That master who wields power thorugh attunement with all 4 elements and therefore steps through the Divine portal. With a synergy of water that flows, fire that alights, air that inspires and earth that steadies, the Magi overcomes every worldly obstacle easily and thus, knows no bounds, no limitations and no lack. 

Yoga by Sea

Do yoga by the sea. Move your body along the firm sand and the glistening waves, while the ocean air soothes your heart and mind. All problems and worries will vanish as you, like a child, surrender to the joy in freedom of movement, spontaneous and wonderful. Stand on your head, let your limbs soar and dance in the open breeze felt only upon the edges of the great blue. Allow the seriousness of life to float away as you embrace fluidity and stream of consciousness-inspired motion. Touch the earth, feel the hot sand beneath you, and relish in the steady waves ebbing and flowing against the seeming permanent nature of things ~

Earthing

Being in touch with the earth physically is so uplifting for our minds and spirits. It is surprising to me how many months can go by without my having direct one on one moments with our Mother Earth. So vital to our health and longevity, our sanity even, is an activity which is now called, "earthing." Basically, what our ancestors have been doing for millenia, we have to start doing again - sitting, standing and walking barefoot on precious dirt, sand or grass. Sadly, our modern culture precludes this possibility in a normal day for the average person, and it could very well be the reason why so many are ill, unbalanced and depressed. We are electromagnetic beings living on an electrical planet and there is a symbiotic relationship which yearns to be nurtured. We give our full presence to Mother Earth and she gives back to us energetically, in turn. Her positively charged energy helps keep us grounded psychologically, boosts our immune system and physical vitality, and helps to attune our spiritual faculty to that of the Divine. 

Yoga, Art & Africa

Yoga is the unifying art of transforming dharma (principle) into action, be it through inspired thought, properly nurturing our children, a painting, a kindness or an act of peace that forever moves humanity forward.

God Loves Sex and Money

In this book, I delve into God, sex and money and how divine love connects each on transformative levels, which can enlighten our experience. The different qualities of God are explained in the context of elevating our view of sexuality and wealth. God is brought into the realm of the human, as a beloved, “closer than breathing, nearer than hands and feet.” I seek to answer the fundamental question of where God stands on the issues of sex and money by offering a psycho-spiritual analysis in very simple and direct terms. We are facing an existential crisis over the pressures of being a sexual being in a world dominated by the pursuit of money. This book is balm for the soul who’s lost its proverbial way.
