Searching for that Perfect Moment.

Trees, the breath of our lungs~ A walk in Nature’s Peace

Carry on searching and you will find

That perfect moment that peace of mind

You’ll find it among all the places you look

None are within the pages of a book

So many species rely upon our Trees ~Lichen on these small branches, and thousands of insects.

While a book can teach you knowledge unbound

The Peace of your heart there is not to be found

Page after page we turn and can read

But the Peace we all seek first comes as a seed

Life -Nature~ a continual cycle of death and rebirth

 

So long do we lie in the depths of the Dark

Forgetting the power from which we all start

A Spark to kindle from the love we all yearn

Ignited with passion as our hearts start to learn

Catkins and Gorse.

An Island we languish alone and afraid

We cut down each other using words as our blades

Doing unto others, we do unto the whole

What we send out we reap back as souls

Gorse~ Everyone of us can show our thorns.

 

So we search and we find what was there all along

We just forgot the Harmony of Singing our Song

In Unity we blend, our voices become One

No longer separate, a choir has begun.

~~

In tune with Nature you’ll flourish and grow

Reaching for Light you spread out and glow

And that ‘Perfect Moment’, that Peace of Mind

It was always inside you, Seek and Find.

Keep Following the Path to your Heart!

 I shared this poem four years ago..

 So I thought to share it again.

 Our Trees, like our hearts have taken a battering over time,

especially in recent months as we have witnessed the horrors of flames.

 But its never too late to rekindle the flame of Love in our Hearts,

as we nurture  and respect each other and Mother Nature. 

You have no idea the Power YOU each hold within your hearts as you send out love into the world.

Keep Sending LOVE!

Do not buy into the Fear being generated, Our thoughts are creating Our Future! 

Have a wonderfully Peaceful Weekend All of you..

💛💚💛  

 

February Challenge ~Inspiring Others by our own Awakening Experience ~ Finding Joy!

Amazing how time spins ever faster, and it doesn’t seem all that long ago I was participating in Barbara’s Awakening Challenge in 2014 in which she put our experiences into a Free e-book Book  “ A Selection of True Awakening Experiences”.. It was during this challenge I met so many more   Wonderful Light-workers here on WordPress, many who have since remained very good friends..

Barbara has once again set us a February Challenge~Inspiring others by our Awakening Experiences as she asked us to update in Part Two of  our experiences of where we are today within our awakening experiences …So our stories continue..

Overspill weir ~ Emotions

My own Soul Journey has taken me through many experiences, each one a stepping stone over some turbulent waters and rocky shores, but each step has led me to peel back yet more layers I had cloaked myself in. Hiding deep within slowly through each painful layer I discovered a new strength, a new skill, and a deeper perspective of who I really am..

Recently spending time in quiet reflection in that calm place of solitude caused me to go back in time. I revisited moments from my childhood, seeing the past in a new light, which made me see how I had brought my own childlike judgements through into my adult years. Something we all do as we grow up as we absorb our surroundings within our various cultures. 

Waking Up~ Following your own Path.

Each learning from our environment and elders. We then perceive the world in which we were brought up within, which often can be clouded as other people’s opinions bare down on how we conform within their sets of rules and preferences. We then carry the scars within our young emotional selves believing maybe we were unworthy or useless. So much emotional baggage is carried which starts out within our childhood years.  

Appearances are deceptive ~ Light surrounds us at all times

Waking up is not like someone flipping a switch, for me it has taken years to wake up to myself. And still I am in the process of peeling back yet more layers of the Me I carry around.

 We have many skins, and often our True selves are hidden behind those ‘masks’ we have built up to protect us from hurts and wounds that stem right back to our roots into our childhood years. So often as parents we do not see how deep those off the cuff remarks travel, as we brush aside our children’s questions, or fail to spend a moment listening to what they are trying to tell us.. I have been guilty of this often I know during my own busy Working Mum years to my own children.

Snowdrops push through the toughest of ground. And even though they appear delicate they show their Beauty and Strength

As a child I had low self esteem, no confidence, I was shy, often tongue tied and through my teenage years suffered often with depression. During that quiet time a few weeks ago my eyes opened up even further to the Me I had become, and why I took on so many wounds that I needn’t have throughout my life.

I saw why I abhor arguments, yet arguments had plagued and followed me throughout my life, be they misunderstandings, or other peoples that I have had to step in to act as a mediator in my role as a manager within the workplace, or supporting those with violent tendencies as a support worker.  Those self same heartbeats of panic and trepidation would echo within my chest as they took me back to the Fear I once felt as a 5 yr as my heart pounded within my ears as I remembered  how I banged on a closed door crying for my Mum and Dad to stop arguing and fighting  one another.

Even in murky waters Life is abundant and rich~ Over coming their differences and difficulties to survive

I became the mediator even then, used to relay messages from one to the other parent, and supposed to take sides… But I couldn’t pick a side for I loved both my parents equally. When I didn’t choose the right side when Divorce was the final outcome, some years after I had married. My mother made it clear even in my adult years she wanted me to still choose a side, and could not stop her bitterness bleeding into my life.

The mediator in me offered to mend the rift with my Mother, but when you are dealing with stubbornness there are only so many doors you can take that get slammed in one’s face. So you give up.. For you wake up to the fact the only person you are hurting is yourself. And we often over look the most important person of all that are in need of healing.. Ourselves!

She is in there somewhere!… If you look you can find her.

I  needed to Look, really LOOK within and find that little girl who got so, so lost and tell her I Loved her so very much..  I needed to go and find my Inner Child and tell her Life is not meant to be so serious and teach her how to Play again.

 I went to find her and sort her out in all of those things which brought me joy.. Be it to sit and be creative within the crafts that I so enjoy doing. Or just sitting within the silence in a Sunny Morning as the Sun filtered through the window as I look at the birds feeding.. I found her by just closing my eyes in the silence as I listen to her heart-beats. And within the silence the Universe was speaking back.. all I had to do was listen.    

Waking up to me has shown me that I need to be gentle with myself. As I learn that ALL that has passed within my life, came to help show me who I really am..

I think sometimes we are given our scars, for without their wounds we would not then dig deeper to heal them, and see how our words and thoughts have wounded others.. We see that there are two sides of every coin and that within our world of duality we have to have both Joy and Pain.. The Good and Bad, Happiness and Sadness. 

H.A.P.P.Y.  Happiness is a state of BEing

I have long learnt to forgive others; this new layer that I peeled away taught me how I needed to forgive myself.

I looked deeper within the Child of ME, and released the sadness she had carried for so long.

 So those quiet days sat with my projects in hand my mind did a lot of stripping back, going back to basics, and discovering all over again why you did the things you did in life as you sort out the one basic need all of us are here to discover.

To Love ourselves..

And to let go of ALL of that which you think is important. You Let go of the past, the hurt, grief, guilt and open your heart to what you have within your grasp right NOW..

 And LOVE your Inner Child. There is nothing like the sound of a child’s laughter..

I have always smiled widely, but once you WAKE up to yourself, you see how easily it is to Laugh! And enjoy all the Joy.

 For it is up to each of us to find and create it in our lives..

And I am once again finding the Music within my soul. 

Love and Blessings to you all upon your own Awakening Journey.

Growing inside and Out

“It’s very important that we re-learn the art of resting and relaxing. Not only does it help prevent the onset of many illnesses that develop through chronic tension and worrying; it allows us to clear our minds, focus, and find creative solutions to problems”

Thich Nhat Hanh 

This winter in the UK although so very mild has been one of the wettest on record and I have been very thankful for living on top of hill for a change, although that has its disadvantages when we get  lots of snow.

 Nature too is just as confused as we are. Winter is a time to rest and sleep…  I needed to retreat within the warmth of my inner shell for a time to replenish and nurture.

Reaching up, to be our best

It seemed that my climbing rose forgot it was winter and I spied this bud peeking its way out of my evergreens  which it had climbed through it and the ivy.  

The day was a rare day, clear skies and sunny which was probably what made me look up as I walked under the arch  of greenery to the green house.

This photo was taken on the 28th January

Reconnecting to my creative self allowed that total absorption to be centred within the moment. Each stitch of Knitting placed with care and attention allowed my thoughts to wander back to the days when my Grandmother would patently sit with me and teach me the basic stitches of knitting.

Each stitch, placed with thought. Each thought forming the shape of our lives.

Something I am now doing with my own little granddaughter, who at the moment just likes winding the wool around the needle as I knit. But I think it important we do not lose these skills and we can produce some wonderful unique garments.. This little set cost me nothing to make, it was using up remnants of wool I had left over. And yes New life within my distant family circle is due in May time..  

New Life was also set to the tune of the Moon, another new project I am starting to do as I hope this year to follow the Luna Biodynamic Gardening methods.. My daughter provided me with a beautiful book for Christmas as I had told her my intentions so this is the result. My Gardening Post explains more here

I planted these onion seeds on the 21^st January and 10 days later they are all growing fine.

Planting seeds to the Moon Rhythms.

Sweetpeas

I also planted my sweet-peas and within 4 days they were starting to show themselves to the light.

I have one more project that will probably be on going now throughout the rest of my Life. Its going slowly, I am not rushing it and I will reveal more on this on a future post.. So keep ‘Tuning’ in.

Life is Miraculous  when you think just how each seed contains within it has the knowledge to grow and mature into the perfect flower or Vegetable or Human Being. 

We are All of us Miraculous Beings. Maybe it is time to plant the seeds of our thoughts back into Good Mother Earth… To grow we need the right environment to nurture our Dreams.. I have come to understand within my silence that no matter how many humans try to taint our world.. We are all of us Gardeners.. Planting our thoughts, cultivating those next generations. And it is up to us to nurture the space we grow in.. 

And as we learn to weed out the excess baggage and plough in the skills and attitudes that help liberate and refine those future generations. To embrace  decisions that consider the consequences of our actions for the well being of our Whole Planet, not just the few upon her. 

For a Great Future awaits us.. It is up to each of us to acknowledge and be mindful of our responsibility within it. My seeds responded to the vibration of the Moon and I am sure my encouraging words of Love are helping them flourish. 

Spending time back within my thoughts reconnected me back to my Inner Child, those of us who are healers know that Love is the greatest healer of all.

That little girl in me reminded me that in our deepest wounds were the remnants of scars of the longings to be loved. She reminded me of the need to create a space in which to embrace the magic of my own creativity as I  learn how  to Play again and become the child I AM and that I always will be.

Me age 5

 Have a Blessed Weekend

~Sue~

Sending Love ~Gaia Meditations

The Woman closed her eyes and breathed in deep. She felt her lungs expand as she took her first breath. She exhaled long and slow as she settled within her skin. The air became pure and fresh, filling up her senses with the scent of the woodland.

She felt the pulse of the tree’s own breath as she leaned into the strength of the old oak. The woman and the tree became one. As she sent down her own roots to merge with that of the tree. She felt and saw them twist and turn as they merged together as one, as they connected to the Mother of All Life.

The woman paused, holding her breath as the surge of returning energy pulsated back up through her tap root up through the woman’s spine sending tingles of electricity through her whole body that made the hairs upon her neck stand on end. She then visualised a luminescent Light cascading out from her crown.

She exhaled to see the Light particles shower around the woodland like flakes of snow as the woodlands own breath scattered them far and wide around the globe. Each perfectly shaped, a unique bubble of light filled with love floated to where it was required. Finding their destination they burst open and showered love and peace to where ever and whomever were willing to embrace their contents. Those tiny atoms of pure love, invisible to the naked eye, found there intended target as they began to work their magic to wipe away sorrow and pain.

The woman and the tree breathed as one, time stood still, until the chill in the air made her shiver where upon she opened her eyes to see fluttering down before her were real flakes of snow.

The Woman smiled, and gave thanks to Mother Gaia.

Much healing had begun today..

I SEE YOU

Chasing away Shadows ~ Is Light

Chasing Away Shadows

Following my sign, along the road

Learning how to shed my load.

I skip with joy through trees of gold

The Sun I’m chasing as my future unfolds

 

Angels close their eyes and breathe

As at last I discover that part in me

The past is gone, the future is Now

At last I’m living, I’m learning how

 

To sing with bird song at morning rise

To look in the mirror, what a surprise

I like what I see for the very first time

And My Angel is with me, giving me a sign.

 

His feathers of Love he showers on me

Filling my heart, making me see

That Life on Earth is all about Love

Holding me close hand in glove

 

Knowing you’ll always be beside me

Between us I know we’ll always be

Perfect words with perfect tunes

Soaring Hearts with mended wounds

 

Calling me from afar

Joining my heart to the heart of a Star

You whisper your Song of us long ago

It melts my heart like the falling snow

 

So Angel of mine, My Spirit Moon

I come to you, you’ll hold me soon

Mirrors in the Sun we brightly shine

Together, forever, for all time.

~The Road to Happiness comes through

Discovery of Oneself.~

xx  Sue Dreamwalker xx

I am taking some time out this week to Paint on canvas..

I need some quiet time to restore my balance.

So if I am quite you will know what I am about..

but you never know, I may drop by your door to say hello…

This poem I wrote some time ago now,  I chose it as its words resonated with how I have been feeling..  

When we do take time out to truly discover who we are,

we may all of us be surprised at what is reflected back at us in the Mirror 🙂  

Much Love to you All.. 

~Sue~  

Teach them Peace.

Happiness .. A painting by my Granddaughter who was 5 when she painted this. 

…I see so much, yet dare not tell

Shaking away dreams, I must not dwell.

So for now I freeze this moment in space

Sending out prayers for the Human Race.

 

These children whose laughter echoes in my ears

Are our future and hopes for all we hold dear.

So teach them to live, to love, and be free

We each play our part, meaning you and me.

 

Teach them to follow what lies in their heart

For material possessions we shall soon part

The values of life are not kept in the bank

For soon they will know, to the depth man has sank.

 

Disarm them with kindness, make them aware

That the future is in their hands, we need to share.

Let them know this Earth needs to heal

That All things Are possible, where nothing is real.

 

Help heal our world, Let our children grow

With knowledge of Love.. Let hatred go.

Tomorrow comes around, to those who wait

Help Our Children, Let’s not leave till too late.

 Sue Dreamwalker

The above is part of a poem I wrote, you can read the original  version here

Everyone is Looking Outside themselves..

 

Below is part of a post I wrote in 2012, I was searching through my archives today as I re-read the words I had written.  The original  Full post and it’s theme is HERE with more interesting comments ..Below is an edited version of my thoughts as I picked out a few paragraphs..

Wishing you all a Peaceful Beautiful week as I send you all of my Love and Gratitude … Sue x 

We are all of us right now looking for something, whether it is peace or our fortunes, we are all of us searching for something,………….

We have all seen events around our world, where anger and bloodshed has spilled out onto the streets in various conflicts which now affect different parts of the world. And we have seen how quickly this can spread…

So those who have been following my blog will also know how much importance I have put into thinking Positive thoughts and putting Positive energy out there, for like a pebble in a pool of water it will spread out through our Collective Consciousness  just the same.. An example of that is how suddenly an event can cause an emotional response within us. Causing Anger, Sadness, Happiness, Elation, etc.

“We have to understand we are all one family.. When one member of one’s family is ill, it has an effect upon the rest of the family..In turn each person’s health is affected by the environment, community, society the whole world.. We all of us get to use our feelings and emotions as we use them to either feel strongly about global issues such as climate changes, famine, poverty and so on..adding our energy of greed, anger, hatred, guilt, sorrow or joy… it all adds to the mix.. Our family is sick, as we see many Nations now falling ill… So too our World is Sick.. she is being poisoned.

If we can change , the world can change..

 

“When we get a virus within our bodies our immune system kicks in to defend it.. We have to understand that we have become the Virus upon this planet.. WE are the ones destroying our environment.. We are the Cancer that is eating away at her..

When we can change our own values of living. And learn that we are ALL of us connected… The more we start and live in love and from our hearts instead of in Fear and anger, we will then start to see a world that works towards harmony and Peace..

It all starts with Self, as we begin to heal ourselves from within.. letting go of those emotions which affect our health and affect our world. We need to let go of Greed, Hate, Power and Control. 

To heal the world we have to see we are the community, we are the society we are the nation.. Once we change the way we think and perceive and behave.. We change the World…”

Everyone is looking outside of themselves for solutions!

May we all find LOVE in our hearts and begin to share it.

All Things Connect!

I have been busy over the last few days…

Misty Morning on the Allotment Plot

And I will show you what I have been up too at a later date.

In the mean time others on the plot have been very busy weaving. 

Woven Web beneath the raspberries

 The  many hundreds of spiders webs stand out on this misty morning.  

“Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it.”

  “Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves”.

“ All Things are Bound Together”

and as Chief Seattle so wisely understood, he knew that what we do to  others will  ultimately affect ourselves.

How beautiful is this giant web strung across the flower bed

 The mist allowed me to see the many hundreds of webs within our plot. What we see and do not see may just be a matter of perspective.

To the Caterpillar who crawls about the cabbage patch all day, his world is a maze of Cabbage leaves, he sees nothing much beyond.. It isn’t until he transforms and becomes the Butterfly that he then sees a whole new world from another perspective. So too as we transform and alter our way of perception we will see many new things and possibilities unfolding before our eyes. As we begin to understand our Reality is not what we perceive it to be.

We need to see the Web of Life we are building, and we need to start to understand that we are each of us connected to one another.

We need to see what we are doing to our World and ourselves.

This one stretched right across the path to our neighbours plot..

All things are bound together..such is the Matrix of life,I am often speaking about Energies, and how we are all of us connected within that Energy Grid.. Just like the Spiders Web, so too is our Earth connected via various Energy Grids, the Megaliths and Pyramids, Energy spots such as the Bermuda Triangle along with various other places are all now known scientifically to be connected via Grid ley lines around our Globe to specific points that are in line..

You have got to love the ingenuity of Spiders, they know flies love fruit what better place to have your home hiding under curled Raspberry leaves

We need to see what we are doing to our World and ourselves.

Each of us is responsible for our thoughts and actions, for each thought along with our actions ripple out and affect the web of all those around us.  We are seeing the ripple effects now as we see the tide of people fleeing their homelands which are torn apart by war.. 

I hope as leaders gather together and unite in their bid to find solutions to the problems which ultimately were created some years ago to the refugee crisis they learn that we are all of us are held together in one web.. That each thread connects to another and that we all of us are part of the whole, as hearts open and affect the Mass Consciousness of the whole 

“Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves”.

“ All Things are Bound Together”

“All things connect”

Blanket Web

We can all of us bury our heads under a blanket hoping that problems will sort themselves out..

Some spiders spin tunnels, and others weave their blanket webs.

But our Earth is a living planet, we have seen how our disrespect and callous behaviours have polluted and caused extinction of species.. In our Animal and Insect Kingdoms and in our own Human species.

All life is sacred. 

No wonder I was bitten the other week by one, I must have destroyed lots of their webs I didn’t see when picking raspberries

I often try to avoid destroying Spiders Webs in the garden.. sometimes its impossible, but I send a thought in their direction as I am mindful of the effort taken to build such an intricate web.

We should be mindful of how Nature evolves, And we too are evolving,  we need to work in harmony with each other.

Each spiders construction a wonderful engineering feat. built to withstand the rain, allowing the wind to blow through it. We too have come along way in technology, but it means nothing without our Earth Mother to sustain us.

Spiders have been popping up both in my home, hanging on threads from my hair as I garden, and even have been appearing within my dreams, over several months now.. And you may be interested in reading  their properties in the Spider Totem meaning..

• “Patience
• Receptivity
• Feminine energy
• Creativity
• Weaver of life’s fate
• Shadow self, dark aspects of life or personality

The spider as a spirit animal offers many interpretations. Its symbolism has both a dark and a light side, reflecting its connection with life’s many facets. More to be found HERE “

Maybe we now need to extent our own feminine energies by showing the world Love and Compassion, We need to show patience and tolerance, as we see played out the Dark and Light aspects of Human Nature throughout the world.

We are the weavers of our own Fate..

This web reached out about a foot. and its extending thread lines ran almost across a half of the plot securing it in position between the fruit shrubs.

Each Web has a strong central point.. We too have within us a strong central point.. Its our Hearts.. When we learn to centre our hearts and join in love along the threads now being shown to us, we too can reach out further than we ever thought possible.. Joining together different creeds, numerous colours, various nationalities..

Our common Thread is LOVE 

May we All learn to Connect once again to our hearts..

And hold Love at our core for All on Mother Earth.

New Earth

 All spiders web photo’s taken on our Allotment plot…

Love and Light
