15 days to go – Day 27 – Light and Bright

This morning as I stood in the kitchen boiling the jug for my early morning herbal tea I had Paul McCartney singing, “Let it be” to me – this song wasn’t on the radio it was playing over and over in my head. I could hear his soft and deliberate tone whispering words of wisdom – thank you Sir Paul.

By the time the jug boiled I had the choir from “Hair” singing, “Let the sun shine in” a very musical herbal tea, don’t you think?

Well sometimes, I believe our Guides communicate messages through songs – say if a verse gets stuck or a stream of words goings around and around in messages from no where it is like a secret coded message. Message received – interpretation can take a little longer.

The Moon is in the “groovy” Age of Aquarius sign. Excuse the little hippy nostalgia but it is nice to go back to a place where your soul felt nourished. I wonder if that is what Mercury retrograde is about – a chance to go back and re-live parts of our lives that need to be re-considered. Well Mercury is about to go direct this week so we can all start to power walk forward on our treadmill – perhaps a little lighter and brighter.

It is day 27 of the detox and I am feeling rather buoyant. The nagging sense that the commitment was over the top has passed and there is a sense of ease around me. Tomorrow I begin the third and final phase called, “renew”. The stage three is focussed on supporting and enhancing the capacity of the liver to take wastes from the bloodstream, break them down and then remove them via the elimination system. I guess it is time to get that crap of my liver! My intention is to embrace this phase as I’ve done in the previous two stages – so wish me luck!

Let the sunshine in, let the sunshine in – let’s bring peace to humanity!

29 Days to go – Day XIV – light the light!

“We each are gifted in a unique and important way. It is our privildege and our adventure to discover our own special light.” Mary Dunbar

Day seven proposes a inwards spiritual journey. It’s a day of contemplation. This day of the nine day cycle offers us a moment to reflect on where we are and quite possibly pose a different direction. It is a time to discover our unique talents or change the course we are to ensure that we are back on track to where we need to be.

Life is a journey of self-discovery – of simple truths and difficult choices, sometimes we stray away from the vision we once held for ourselves, giving up our personal mission in lieu of every day responsibilities. Our hearts desire can sometimes simmer gently on the embers. Today is a great day to reignite that flame.

The familiar messages of passion and following ones destiny has been evident in the book – John Lennon: The Life. This biography reminds me of the pilot light within that eventually becomes the slow burning flame and once ignited the combustion of dreams is magnified. One such event was when John was introduced to Paul McCartney. As soon as the veil of suspicion was lowered the two young boys realised that there was magic in the words and music.

John’s drive, disappointment and fuelling the fire with his own passion was overtaken and thrust to a new threshold with the randomness and indulgent spark of Berlin, the tempering of the fire during periods of reflection after the return to Liverpool.

I’ve often thought what would have happened if the four young men hadn’t got together – if their flames did not ignite the mania that spread throughout our youth. I assume that if the Beatles did not exist then they would have pursued ordinary lives with a smattering of creativity. Then I realise that John, a disenfranchised soul, looking for something outside of him to quench the yearning would have fallen into a creative melting pot. He was unrelenting, bloody minded in his pursuit of his, “special light”.

The Moon and Chiron offer a taste of forgiveness today. This special time is for healing and enjoying this lunar remedy. Anoint your soul with this cosmic alignment. Remember to honour your special talents in a way that serves your soul journey.

It is day fourteen of the detox and I am doing fine. My spirits are soaring with the eagles and I am leaving the buzzards in the trees. I am grateful for my life.

Peace and Love,
