Music for the soul

A few Saturdays ago I woke up to an upsetting thought. It was a thought from the past, one that meant a lot at some point in my life but now it was in the past. The memory of it still captured me though. I started to move through my day and decided that actually, I will let myself feel this emotion if that’s what is surfacing. I went shopping, I felt sad, I walked in the rain, I felt sad, I eat some lovely food but I was still feeling sad....and then I walked into the centre of town (no smile on my face just going through the motions) and there was a group from the church promoting their activities. They were trying to show how much fun it could be to be a part of the church.

6 men were doing a performance with straw hats. They were dancing along to some amazing soulful upbeat music! The words of the song were singing about having love for Jesus. I stopped in my tracks and stood still in the rain...I smiled at the performers. As I listened to the music it started to really lift my spirits...touch my soul and make me feel happy! I wanted to dance and be joyful too. I looked around at the crowd that the performers were gathering....everyone was just staring ahead and slowly they started to smile, laugh with each other and sway to the music! The sun started to shine and I felt like I had been sent a ray of light, as I felt the heat on my face I had a strong feeling of a gentle reminder that I was ok!
I find that these lovely messages come to me when I listen with an open heart and mind!

Its amazing how that music bought all these people from completely different walks of life together. It made them all stop. It made them all smile. It captured their thoughts! It was universal....to be enjoyed by all! It made me realise that no matter what language you speak, a piece of music can change your mood. It can be uplifting, relaxing, soothing, upsetting but more likely than all it will bring people together. It will move you from deep within, it will make you sing, dance and loose yourself for the few moments while you listen! What a truly amazing creation!
I started to realise just how creative music really was! The words, the sound, the instruments, the mood, the images it portrays! So many different angles just like a painting in sound waves!
So as I progress through my journey of joy....I will listen more, I will understand more and I will enjoy more of what I LOVE love LOVE! Let the music play.... :)

The knowing...

Everyday the sun rises and then it falls. Everyday the moon rises and then it falls. Some days it shines brightly, you see it, you feel it. Others days it hides away, you can't see it, you can't feel it. But surely enough as another day approaches, the sun will rise and the moon will fall. Ever present, more and more beautiful with each appearance. Unfaltering faith in my angels working to my greatest good allows me to sit here on a lovely large pebble beach in Riomaggiore and see that nothing is really as bad as it might seem. Everything that is happening in my life, is happening for a greater reason that i am unaware of at present. With patience and time though, everything will be clear...the knowing that this day will come is beautiful. The knowing is my strength. The knowing is divine, a direct connection to the highest good. The knowing is allowing...allowing my guides and angels to direct me through my  life, to the most incredible people, to absolutely amazing p

Kevala - finding my spiritual home ❤️

Image
I recently visited kevala in April 2023. I find it hard to attach words to how beautiful and sacred this space is. From the moment you walk in, you get a feeling of a beautiful safe haven, you are hit with positive possibility and opportunity. People are kind and love is flowing through each interaction.   The gardens are overflowing with lush green vibrancy, enticing you in with each step. There is an energy grid which is super charged and has a cosmic feel. This space really helped me dive deeper into myself, anchoring me in knowing and inner godliness. The nearby sacred mountains form a moving backdrop to the center, one morning we trekked up to the top allowing us to see the most spectacularly inspiring views, breath fresh and energized air and change perspectives completely. Inside the center the space is bright, the main hall has an electric energy, one that I could feel through every class, talk and group session within the space. The art work inspires and reconnects you while t

Mother hen love...

Image
This picture captures her spirit. Glowing and exuberating happiness.  For as long as I've lived she has been incredibly caring and giving. She has been sacrificing and selfless. Strong and unfaltering in her primary principle in life...peace!  She would work the longest hours and still on the family front she would show up...happy, singing and spoiling us all!  Should one of us ever feel unwell, there she was! Viks in hand, ready to massage your aches and pains away! So comforting. And her food! Full 100% of her love and dedication to her family...so flavoursome. No one can escape the 'little bit more...!?' Even when your bursting at the seems, how can you resist that beautiful mother hen love!  She is my mum. She is my role model. If I could be half as beautiful as her inside and out it would be an achievement. Unable to hurt another living soul big or small...what an incredible woman! Happy birthday mum, you have always been my grounding, my backbone, my human angel. And
