Happy New Year ~ 2012

Happy New Year! Here at the old homestead, new year’s eve was an evening of creativity, drumming, singing, eating yummy food and last but not least a little magic & enchantment sprinkled all through the night.

 

“May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you’re wonderful, and don’t forget to make some art — write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can. And I hope, somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself.” ~ Neil Gaiman

“We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year’s Day.”  ~ Edith Lovejoy Pierce

“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

Secret Garden

I love this song . . . it’s incredibly beautiful!

thought for the day:

“The spell was broken. My uncle learned to laugh, and I learned to cry. The secret garden is always open now. Open, and awake, and alive. If you look the right way, you can see that the whole world is a garden.” – The Secret Garden

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

Soothing …  Inspiring …    Relax & Breathe

Sunday

The research from Dr. Masaru Emoto, says that when human thoughts are directed towards water before it is frozen, the resulting images of the water crystals will be either beautiful or ugly depending upon the kind of thoughts directed towards it.  Emoto claims this can be achieved through prayer, music or by attaching written words to a container of water.

Masaru  Emoto has published several volumes of his work in a book titled “The Hidden Messages in Water”, which contains photographs of frozen water crystals next to “words of intent”.

Messages From Water – The power of thought on water

“Existence is vibration. When we separate something into its smallest parts, we always enter a strange world where all that exists is particles and waves. The fact that everything is in a state of vibration also means that everything is creating sound. And as sound is created, there is a master listener to receive the sound: water. Why would crystal formation be affected by music, and why completely different results would be reached depending on the spoken and written words water was exposed to. Water, so sensitive to the unique frequencies emitted by the world, essentially and efficiently mirrors the outside world. Music and spoken words are vibration; they are easily understood and interpreted by just about anyone. Sounds like the chant created by a human voice at a Buddhist funeral create a healing frequency.” – Masaru Emoto – The Hidden Messages in Water
