‘The Sanskrit word Namaste means “I bow to the divine in you”.

It is the divine spark in one person recognising the divine spark in another.

The life in me sees & honors the life in You.’

‘A single human intent combined is worth more than the sum of its parts,

Alone, in the light you emit is a wonderful healing tool, but when you join with others who share your intent to shine compassion and positive energy over the world,

Together a powerful force is created.

A group of people focusing their energy on sending out light to the world can set the stage for positive transformation.’

Music - ‘Only Time’ by Enya

To bless means to wish, unconditionally and from the deepest chamber of your heart unrestricted good for others.

To bless is to acknowledge the omnipresent, universal beauty hidden from material eyes

This adaptation of Pierre Pradervand’s the ‘Gentle Art of Blessing’ is still one of my favorite inspirational videos.

Music - “The Sleepsong” by Secret Garden

“Om” - The sacred and mystical Sanskrit word is the sound of all creation and is a prayer in itself.

Original music from Isabelle Rajotte - Pregnant Soul

“Being afraid of our own power is choosing to live in fear & a state of paralysis.”
Carmen Harra

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.”
Marianne Williamson

“We are each gifted in a unique & important way. It is our privilege and our adventure to discover our own special light .”
Mary Dunbar

“The practice of forgiveness is our most important contribution to the healing of our world”

Marianne Williamson

“We achieve inner health only through forgiveness,the forgiveness not only of others but also of ourselves“

Joshua Loth Liebman

Do you know what products are actually being absorbed through your skin?

In many countries “Major gaps in public health laws allow cosmetics companies to use almost any ingredient they choose — even lead, mercury, and placenta.

Ingredients in any kind of product — from sunscreen and mascara to deodorant and baby shampoo — are sold to consumers with no restrictions and no requirement for safety testing.” (sourced - Environmental Working Group)

As a practitioner of energetic healing modalities I have become more & more aware of the insidious ways aluminium, lead & mercury can be absorbed into our body & the detrimental effects heavy metals can have on our systems. Alzheimers can be associated with aluminium, whilst heavy metals such as mercury & lead can contribute to neurolgical diseases.

If you suffer from allergies or simply want to be able to make informed choices about the products that you buy & are putting on your skin then you may find the Environmental’s Working Group Skin Deep: Cosmetic Database useful.

This site gives comprehensive in depth product reports covering make up, skin care, hair care, eye care, nail care, baby care, oral care & fragrances. For a quick search you can enter the brand of a particular item eg Revlon superlustre lipstick & see the rating for that item from 0-10. All products are listed with a hazard rating within this scale. By clicking on the link to the product you are interested in you will find every ingredient listed with its own hazard rating & additional information highlighting possible detrimental side effects.

Love & Blessings,
