Be impeccable with your word. Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love. ~*~ Don Miguel Ruiz
This new week, May you be blessed with blessings from above, and by being a blessing to others. And May none of your efforts go to waste. Sending my warm wishes your way for a great week ahead.
Though bitter cold the Winter days, The spark of life goes on, For now the waxing sun’s returned, The dark days’ march has gone, And soon beneath the loamy earth, The sleeping seeds shall wake, But first beneath the snowy shroud, All wild free things must shake.
~ Words by Robin Green-Elk Artist Esther Remmington
“With your hands, honey. If you do it with your mind instead of relieving the pain, it toughens even harder.”
“With your hands grandma?”
“Yes, our hands are the antennae of our soul. If you move them; knitting, cooking, painting, playing or sinking them into the ground, you send care signs to the deepest part of you and your soul lights up because you’re paying attention to it. Then signs of pain will no longer be necessary.”
“Hands are really that important?”
“Yes my daughter. Think of babies: they start to know the world through the touch of their hands. If you look at the hands of old people, they tell you more about their life then any body part. Everything that is done by hand is said to be done with the heart. Because it’s really like this: hands and heart are connected. Masseurs know well: when they touch someone with their hands, they create a deep connection. It is precisely from this connection that healing comes. Think of lovers: when they touch their hands, they make love in a more sublime way.”
“My hands grandma…. how long I haven’t used them like this!”
“Move them, my love. Begin to create with them and everything within you will begin to move. The pain will not pass away. And instead what you do with them will become the most beautiful masterpiece and it won’t hurt anymore. Because you have been able to transform its essence.”
Wolves are considered very sacred to ancient cultures. They are the teachers and pathfinders of the natural world. The senses of a wolf are very keen and the Moon is its power ally!
