The upcoming Fall Equinox is a lovely time to settle into the heart of Creator, to access the voice of the Divine Feminine, to commune deeply with her and to bring her forth within us.
As the Divine Feminine rises, there are those who, mired in old paradigms, succumb to fear and lash out at her. We can support her in the face of this seeming onslaught, not by lashing back, but by nourishing her wholeheartedly – thus bringing her forth in ourselves, in each other, in humanity, on the planet.
Outward action on behalf of the feminine energy is beneficial but will not bring in true transformation. Connecting deeply with the Divine Feminine within... allowing her to come forth, to speak, to express, to bring love...this is the action which will bring transformation.
Fall Equinox is September 22. Let's make it a time to commune with the Divine in the form of the Sacred Feminine within. This is a perfect time to call on her to speak.

Close your eyes. Take in 3 deep, cleansing breaths and release 3 soft and slow exhales. Silently or aloud, ask the Sacred Feminine within to speak to you. Ask her to share with you how you personally can nourish, strengthen and bring forth the Sacred Feminine Energy, for yourself and for the planet.

Pick up a pen with your non dominant hand. Make it a pen you really enjoy using.

Start writing. Bypass your mind. Let the Sacred speak. Let her words flow onto the page. Write for as long as the words flow. Put the pen down. Take a few deep, cleansing breaths and slow, releasing exhales. Give thanks. Wait a few hours before reading what's been written.

​Planting by the Moon
Gardening brings us closer to the wonder and beauty of Nature. Co-creating with Nature, with the Divine, brings a special kind of fulfillment. Gardening within the rhythms of Grandmother Moon is especially fulfilling and, corroborated by the Farmers Almanac and other age old sources, will lead to healthier, heartier plants.
There are many ins and outs of gardening with the moon. Many gardeners suggest taking it a step at a time as you build relationship with the moon and it's cycles.
Start with the simple.
The simplest way to garden with the moon is to plant when the moon is waxing or full AND in a water or earth sign (Pisces,Cancer, Scorpio and Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn) and weed, till and harvest when the moon is waning AND in a fire or air sign (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius and Gemini, Libra, Aquarius).
Yes, there is a reason for this. The gravitational pull of the moon affects the tides – the water on Earth. The short of it is that during the waxing and full moon, there is more moisture in the soil which creates a better climate for planting.
….Just one more way of bonding with Nature!

by Rev. Sunemaura O'Brien

I am loved and cherished by the Divine Mother
I am complete
She restores me in my tumult
She brings me to serenity
She guides me in right living and right thought
Though this world in which I walk 
Sometimes seems dark or chaotic
She helps illuminate love wherever I go
She protects me - She never leaves me
She provides me with everything I need and then some
She fills me with abundance of every kind
She anoints me and calls me her own
Goodness and compassion shall come toward me
And from me
Everyday
I will rest in the womb of the Mother 
Into eternity
​And I live and breathe in gratitude.

How does Distance Healing Work???
How can we do a healing over Skype or phone? The question is often posed.
The nature of spiritual healing is that it is is not located in time and space. Consider the source of the healing. The Source. The source of spiritual healing is not the healer. The source of spiritual healing is the Divine. The love of God is beyond all space – it is not necessary for healer and receiver to be in the same location for God's love to be channeled for healing purposes. The healer's gift is the ability to convey the ultimate healing power – the love of God – to the receiver's body and soul.
So what takes place – what are the logistics? I meet with the receiver face to face on Skype or voice to voice on phone. It really is not necessary for the healing for us to meet at the same time, but it is helpful to both of us to have human communication. Also, the element of prayer is present when we are together “where two or more are gathered, I am there”.
We talk a bit about the issue to be brought before spirit. The receiver puts down the phone or computer, settles down into a comfortable place. There is no need for the receiver to concentrate or meditate. The receiver's job is to relax and receive - to allow.
We begin with a prayer. Then the healing takes place. I channel healing energy directly from Source. My work is grounded in the surrender to Holy Spirit that is Reiki. I am trained in Shamanic methods and rely on Spirit to direct me when to use these methods. The receiver usually feels deeply relaxed. He/she often feels sensations in her body – waves of energy, tingling, temperature changes, She may feel releases – twitches, emotions, rumbling belly. I often channel energy into specific parts of the body or energy field – the receiver can often feel places where I am working.
The healing is concluded with a wrapping of love around the receiver and a giving of thanks for this great gift.
The receiver and I then spend a few moments discussing the healing and any impressions and illuminations we received.
What results can be expected? Physically, we can expect pain or symptom relief. We can expect the body's natural healing response to be boosted. We can expect the life force, or chi, to be boosted.
Mentally, faulty belief systems can be supported to change. Obsessive patterns can be interrupted. Addictive patterns can be interrupted. Emotionally, comfort can be achieved. Emotional healing can take place – trauma and adverse experiences can be released. Spiritually, meditation, prayer, creative practices are supported. Relationship with the Divine (whatever that may be to the individual) is enhanced,
Spiritual healing is supportive when life transitions and/or challenges are being experienced. It is supportive when trauma has occurred, recently or in the distant past. It is helpful when one is feeling “stuck” or trapped, emotionally or in life itself.
The ultimate healing power is the love of the Divine, however the Divine presents itself to the individual. It is important to note that the individual's personal experience of the Divine must be respected as the way that Source reveals itself to each of us is part of our personal healing path. The healer's experience of God should never be imposed on the receiver. Divine revelation occurs for each of us in a way specific to each of us. Spiritual healing facilitates this revelation.
It is my great joy and honor to offer this work. It is my great joy to offer it in the comfort and safety of your own home. I live and breathe in gratitude.
