Flowers are the answer to a lot of things!

Ok Im feeling a little under the weather today... I took four drops of Yarrow Environmental Solution. Bio dynamic, organic.   Yarrow, echinacea flower essence, pink yarrow, golden yarrow.   Millefleurs and sea salt.  Every day is an adventure into the garden of life.  


I think I will dream up a healthy flower cocktail for a dinner party that's coming up. You know you can cancel out toxins with flower remedies!    Never settle for the ordinary!

Happy Thursday and may all greatest aspirations be realized!

When Life is Coming at You in All Directions - It's trying to tell you somthing!!

Its a fast world with so much going on for each of us every day.   There is no perfect and there is no need to chase perfect as it can only be found within.    When things go right we are happy and when things go wrong we are sad because we feel there might be something wrong with us or that people will judge us thus.   Guilt and the pursuit of happiness on an external level only lead to a lonely place.

This past few weeks have been amazing, frightening, joyful, blissful, sad and awakening.   There is always more to learn, more to love, more to let go of and more to give and importantly more to receive.
I could make a list including a few things - my mother now is in a nursing home so when i go to call her she is no longer where I always found her for her loving advice.   (She has handled this like the angel she is and it has revealed in me a more vulnerable side).   My apartment was flooded through an accidental fire above,  then out of the blue .... literally, by the sea and sky out back of my apartment building  - I fell in love, purely and without hesitation because ...well it just feels right.  The way we met was magic, deep and beyond. I feel this person makes me a better person and I hope vice versa.  Other things are also going on... such as normal life and personal stuff so its been a wild ride to this point.   This I see as purification and the gifts that come after. Angels have been coming from everywhere to support and throw verbal flowers my way.

Whether its been chaos or bliss there is a contentment I am feeling throughout all of it.   I know this is because of my constant practice and working with my heart/mind - alternating study (wisdom) and practice of meditation and other Buddhist practices as taught by Khentrul Lodro Thaye Rinpoche. The aim is to understand the true nature of my own mind in order to benefit others.   I have been awakened to this and worked for many years and of course, I still make mistakes like most of us. It's going to be a long road and the journey is the best part.

My work is informed by my experience which I only wish to be as meaningful in my life as any other thing I do.   I am a creative and understand both creatives and the ones that facilitate them to be so.

This week I am working with those in the corporate and creative worlds and will be offering special prices on my treatments.

Whether your looking to do something for a group, at work or alone check out my wellness work on the Menu Page and give me a call to set something up.

April has been a special month for me and I want to share my great energy and work by offering some special pricing and party discounts.


I am adding fresh herbs to all of my body treatments including parsley, sage, rosemary, thyme and other special ingredients for detoxification.

Have a gorgeous day!

UNION

Its been a little while since I have written on my blog.  I admit I have felt a little guilty and we all know guilt is a no win fight with oneself.   This being said I will forgive myself for being slack.   Priorities change however consistency is crucial, so I will take a good deep look into the reason for my writers block.

As far as my work and inspired output of same, I feel better than ever.   There has been an merging quality of all aspects of my life.   This was not out of the aforementioned guilt but with one simple absorption in the understanding of the word experience.    I am experiencing the life I wish to live... not conceptualizing and grasping at it.   The proverbial brass ring, or is it a gold or platinum ring these days?

Today I would like to share the word Union.

If we can see the union of all things there is no longer any separation of things.  Perhaps in the beginning we must be aware of differences but once we know them it is easy to accept them and find a way to bring a union to any opposite polar in the realm of our experience.

I have been experimenting with this in my Spa products.

This past week I found a way to bring union to some interesting oil blends by extracting alive scents from flowers as absolutes dispersed into raw blends.   What is so amazing is the subtleness of the aromas.    What came to me is that all unions are different not only with people but in nature too.   The pungent strength of the flowers was tamed by the very same nature from whence they came (the garden) into the more subtle nature of another living substance (found in the garden also).

Isn't it wonderful how different we all are?.   A gregarious person can fall for a very introverted person if they can allow the other to be who they are and vice versa.

So for me my work always reminds me of something about myself and others.

Have a beautiful day.

This weeks exotic blend is raw oil of gardenia, blended with coconut oil and other oils with a hint of Ylang Ylang.  Ylang Ylang is an aphrodisiac used on the marital bed in Thailand and other Asian countries.
