People Touch Our Hearts in Unexpected Ways
The beauty of living life is coming across people who will touch your heart and change you in the most unexpected ways.
I find that I am quite relational and the experiences I have with the people that bless me with their hearts help me to understand the mysteries of this world and the other realms with such awe.
It is mesmerizing to see what magic is brewed when two souls connect in a meaningful way, bearing our hearts with stories that help us understand how this (w)holy human before us has come to be in all of their greatness, which includes the imperfections.
At the same time, it helps me dive underneath the surface. When we share stories together, I am given permission to go beneath the current to see for myself the remarkable beauty that is this person’s essence - their fullest expression of their soul that is not defined by their past experiences, their heartaches, their conditioning or this world’s oppressive systems.
I notice this happens with such magnetism on retreat because we are together, living and communing as a coven. But this also happens when someone stops me on the street to admire my sunglasses and we have a brief but loving exchange.
So my prayer today is for you, I, and we to be open to more of this personal exchange where a blooming occurs. May they be the Great Mother talking through another - being a messenger of the cosmos, a living oracle that shows us there is no dull moment except in our minds.
I don't hold back.
I will be me.
Showing up and saying yes to heartfelt connections.
Enjoying myself as I live, breath, and dance with life.
It is here I celebrate my bloom.
Fully and completely
And cosmically blissfully.
P.S. Come away with me so we can have a magic moment together. I am an activator - initiating you into the mysteries of life where you no longer doubt that magic is real and that it is truly liberating to live from your intuition - no longer contained by your mind. I have two spots open to join me in Bali for 4 days the first week of November. There are also tickets to my Melbourne event, Devoted Magic, on November 24th. It’s all day and will be incredibly luscious and nourishing.
Let’s open the space and get you prepared to journal.
Divine Mother, Primordial Creator
Earth Mother, Wisdom Keeper of this Realm
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I humbly call in the (w)holy energy of the heavens,
The (w)holy energy of the earth,
And the (w)holy energy from within me.
I go beneath the current to see how remarkable I am.
How glorious my dearest loved ones are.
How awe striking humans are.
All creations are sacred and I honor past experiences,
Ancestral wounds, heart aches, cultural conditioning,
And oppressive systemic programs that often limit
Our ability to see ourselves as everflowing
With grace, abundance, well-being and wholeness.
Today, tomorrow,
And for however long this is in my awareness,
May I be open to sacred personal exchanges.
Allowing myself to bloom.
May my heart unfurl so that I hear you, Great Mother,
Speak through people, sending me a message from the cosmos.
May each person I connect with, communicate with, and sit in space with
Be a living oracle that shows me there is no dull moment.
May I celebrate that I too am an open vessel, a messenger of the divine spirit
Flowing with love, compassion, and a gift of presence.
Who has changed you?
Have you expressed your gratitude directly to them?
Or possibly voiced their name aloud on your walk or at your altar?
What would you need to know in order for you to be open to unexpected encounters?
What if you playfully went outside, opened your heart and energetically invited strangers to share loving, appreciative words while you were out this week?
Materials needed: one crystal that represents the cosmos, one candle, one stone representing the earth, water in a small bowl, and flower petals.
Create an altar space or clear a portion of the floor, table, or outside area for this ritual.
Open the space with the above prayer.
Light a candle voicing up people you are grateful for because you remember a sacred encounter. You do not need to remember their names but either picture them in your mind’s eye or voice a description of when you connected. This can include a brief encounter with a stranger just the day before.
Hold your small bowl of water and place your blessings for yourself, your dear loved ones, your community, humans of this world, all sentient beings including those of this world and beyond including your ancestors and additional unseen council members. Place that bowl in the center.
Hold the stone that represents the earth and notice in your heart if you are open to synchronistic opportunities for the Great Mother to speak through another person. Are you willing to have even a stranger be an oracle, sending you an energetic message that helps you to blossom? When you feel yourself click into place with an acceptance and a readiness, blow gratitude into the stone and place it on the right of your water bowl.
Hold the crystal that represents the cosmos and connect with the Great Mother through this crystal. State your name, introduce yourself, and stay present as your heart unfurls and you feel yourself enter into the energetic field, otherwise known as the liminal space or acausal realm. There is nothing you need to do but let go and enter into this space of unlimited potential. You will feel a settling or clicking into place signifying the Great Mother has felt your cosmically blissful agreement to keep your eyes and heart open for messages through encounters with people.
Place the crystal to the left of the water bowl.
Lastly, pick up your flower petals and feel their frequency. Breathe deeply and allow yourself to attune to the frequency of the flowers you chose, for you are the channel for the divine oracle as well - a bringer of love, a messenger of hope and renewal. Scatter the flowers around the crystal, water bowl, and stone clockwise starting at the top or North and make a flower petal circle.
To bring all of this magic into you, sip a little bit of water from the bowl.
Close the ritual by blowing out the candle and then scatter the remaining water and the flower petals outside.
Example of your personal altar
Materials needed: each circle participant will bring one crystal that represents the cosmos, one candle, one stone representing the earth, water in a small bowl, and flower petals.
Create an altar space or clear a portion of the floor, table, or outside area for this ritual.
Open the space with the above prayer.
You can then do the same as above with each circle participant making their own flower circle. You may direct them and everyone lights their candle. Everyone breathes blessings into their water bowl, etc.
Or you can have it be a communal experience.
After opening the space folks stand, light their candle and bring it to the center of the altar, making a circle of candles. After blessing their water bowl, they stand and place it in front of their candle in an outer circle formation. You would do this with the crystal and then the stone.
Folks will take their flower petals, stand, and as a group, walk around the altar in a clockwise direction placing petals to create the last circle.
Hold hands and pause there, soaking in the beauty and the magic of the intention.
Lastly they can take a sip of their water or go around and share their experience.
From this point you can transition into a new circle experience or close with a prayer.
