Manifestation

The Birth of Venus
Sandro Botticelli, 1486


Over the past 18 months, I have refocused my energies towards making positive changes in my life. I decided it was time to embrace life. To do things that make my heart sing, and when those opportunities didn’t prevail that I would continue with a smile.
But more than that.
I suddenly became aware, conscious. I realised that I have not been living my life to its greatest potential. So I decided it was time to embrace life and love again, to be open to receive all that I deserve.
Through daily yoga and meditation I activated my prana, or chi, to flow freely. With ritual and visualisation, I began to clearly see myself living the life that I desire, doing the things that make me happy and sharing the experiences with my life partner.
Allow yourself to let go, let the child inside you break free. See yourself in your dream job, with your soul mate or simply enjoying life to the fullest.
Manifestation. It’s easy once you let go and let it flow.

Lammas


Traditionally, Lammas celebrates the first harvest, the first fruits and the first loaf of bread. The hours of daylight are shortening as the Sun God begins to reduce his power and gives way to the Moon Goddess. The plants begin to drop their seeds in preparation for the oncoming winter to restart the cycle of birth and creativity once again.
So too, can we plant our seeds for growth by manifesting our dreams and desires. Spend time in nature, listening, smelling and observing. It is a good time to be familiar with the foods that we eat and their connection to the earth.  Give thanks and be grateful for individual prosperity as well as the abundance of beauty provided by Gaia.
In celebrating Lammas, we give thanks and honor the Sun God for all that we receive and share amongst family and friends. Similarly, we can reflect on our achievements and give thanks and honor ourselves.
Blessed Be.
