With all that is going on in the world, we could all use a little inner peace …

Soothing …  Inspiring …    Relax & Breathe

Saturday

I lived in Hawaii for several years and visited the Big Island volcano sites often and it was an amazing experience to witness the raw primordial power of the Mauna Loa volcano.

Legend has it that the volcanoes Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea connect Hawaii to the center of the earth, and many consider Hawaii to be the point of creation on earth, where new earth is being made each day, which makes the living breathing Pele goddess the mother of the Earth.”

During certain times of the year sacred chants, hula and prayer are given as a sacred offering of mana to the sun. For without the sun there is no life …

Daylight Savings Time

Get ready to spring forward one hour this weekend. Yes, it’s that time again. Remember to set your clocks one hour ahead on Sunday.

This excerpt from “The Diary of Samuel Marchbanks in 1947: written by Robertson Davies, pretty much sums up my feelings about the daylight savings time issue.

“I don’t really care how time is reckoned so long as there is some agreement about it, but I object to being told that I am saving daylight when my reason tells me that I am doing nothing of the kind. I even object to the implication that I am wasting something valuable if I stay in bed after the sun has risen. As an admirer of moonlight I resent the bossy insistence of those who want to reduce my time for enjoying it. At the back of the Daylight Saving scheme I detect the bony, blue-fingered hand of Puritanism, eager to push people into bed earlier, and get them up earlier, to make them healthy, wealthy and wise in spite of themselves.”

Daily Spiritual Practice

Why is our daily personal spiritual practice important?
From my own perspective a daily personal practice keeps us grounded in our work, less stressed out, and more connected with the Divine. Yet, life happens and there are those days when even the best of intentions go awry.

Friends have said that “not practicing seems to make a critical difference in their lives, they begin to notice feeling out of sorts, drained, disjointed, stressed out, a disconnect, edgy, and that something is lacking.”

Due to our very busy lives, it may seem difficult to cultivate a daily practice, yet the very act of lighting a candle, opening and listening for guidance can have a profound effect on the rest of your day. These simple acts can open doors that once seemed closed.

“Whatever I am offered in devotion with a pure heart – a leaf, a flower, fruit, or water – I accept with joy.” – Bhagavad Gita

Everyday Goddessing  is about sharing magical techniques and sacred wisdom with other beautiful Goddess women. I believe that within every woman there is a goddess, a wise woman, beautiful, creative, powerful, with a deep soul, and that everything we need and are looking for is already inside  each of us. – Rose Arizmendi
