Truth, Gratitude & Humbleness

So many people have told me that I am grounding and earthly. These same people have also questioned why I am like this, and how did I get to be so calm.
TRUTH: Life experience has allowed me to be more grounded & balanced. Life has had its share of ups & downs, so why not be grounded, there is less space to fall!
GRATITIDE: Being thankful for the lessons that life choices have resulted in versus resentments, regrets & disappointment. Every challenge has an outcome of sorts. It is up to you to find the positive lesson in each challange, and to be grateful for the learning experience. After all, if we do not learn from our mistakes, we cannot grow and move beyond...
HUMBLENESS: Being yourself, being without Ego, being true to one's self, practice non-judgement, know that you and every one else is rarely a perfect personality, we are all a result of perception, growth, development, practice & action.

Sacred Smudging to Cleanse Energy

It has been a great privilege to work with Native American traditions to cleanse energy. Smudging involves the use of white sage, cedar &/or sweet grass which is dried and then burnt in a ceremonial fashion. The smoke is swept around the body using a feather and commencing from head to toe. The intent is to cleanse negative energy from one's auric field. Smudging can also be performed in the home, healing room & sacred space to rid the area of negativity, to purify the air & to prepare for healing.
Sage sticks can be purchased from a health store, such as in Ottawa (Singing Pebbles Bookstore or Sunnyside, I also have sweetgrass braids in Metcalfe) or you can grow your own sage, sweet grass & harvest your own cedar. Seeds & plants can be purchased from Richters in Ontario. I prefer to grow my own, as there is more energy & intent from the earth that goes into the plants, and I harvest with the intent of healing & purifying energies.
Enjoy the benifits of smudging. It is easy & accessible. It is respectable and powerful.
