Autumn is a second spring where every leaf is a flower.
There
are so many wonderful things happening this month of May, so, grab a cuppa' and read all the way to the end :)
Firstly, I take this opportunity to wish all mothers a wonderful, loving and nurturing Mother's day on Sunday 9th May.
Know how important you are -- how valuable you are to society. Know that your children need you to be as solid an individual as you can be. Therein lies your strength as a mother, whether you spend all day at home or in an office. We are all exceptional women in our motherhood.
Nurturing yourself is what enables you to be at your best for your children.
1. Nurturing yourself is the absolute foundation of caring for your children.
2. Do small things throughout the day to keep your stress meter out of the "red zone."
3. More fundamentally, systematically focus on letting go of stress in your body, mental images, emotions, desires, and thoughts.
4. In particular, try to let go of unrealistic expectations about the sort of mother you are "supposed" to be.
5. Even more deeply, reflect on how your childhood is increasing your stress today (like intensifying your emotional reactions); bring compassion to the young parts of yourself; try to sort apart the intensified "young" reactions from the more moderate, here-and-now ones; try to let go of the deepest level of your distress, like making sure you get the tip of the dandelion's root to prevent it from growing back.
6. Try to accept your inner experience for what it is, so you don't add further stress to whatever your experience might be. There is nothing shameful about whatever arises.
7. Let positive experiences sink deeply into your emotional memory banks, soothing and even dislodging negative ones.
8. Overall, be active in your own mind, ultimately in charge of it, like the skillful rider of a high-spirited horse.

9. Commit to daily practices - like journaling, meditation, walks, being in nature, music, or art - that nurture you and deepen your capacity to stand apart from the inevitable, endless ups and downs of your inner and outer worlds.
10. If it's meaningful for you to do so, nourish within yourself and draw on a spiritual awareness.
And, as we watch leaves fluttering to the ground in Autumn, we are reminded that nature's cycles are mirrored in our lives. Autumn is a time for letting go and releasing things that no longer serve us.
Autumn reminds us of the impermanence of everything. We have experienced the budding of life in spring and the flowerings and profusions of summer. Now the leaves fall and bare branches remind us of the fleeting nature of all things.
When you are struggling say to yourself... this too shall pass -- because it surely will. Each moment is a precious gift.
With love and gratitude for you,
Rayeleen

Aura Photography
This is such a fun thing to do. Aura Photography day is an interactive and fun day of sharing. Receive your aura photograph and an interpretation of that photograph by a clairvoyant!
An Aura is the electromagnetic energy field that surrounds, encompasses and permeates the body as well as all living things. The colours and patters within this energy field constitute a blueprint (the results of the energy we radiate from our feelings, thoughts and physical being). Until recently, Aura's were only seen by the special few who had a gift to see the rainbow of colours. Now with the help of Aura Photography we can all see. Read More.

HOT STONE MASSAGE
by Eugene McGrath

As the
weather cools, we are entering the time of year when many of us will experience
some adverse effects in our bodies due to the cold and damp of winter. During
the colder months our muscles contract in order to create and preserve heat,
and so already tight muscles will feel tighter, which further restricts the
flow of circulation and energy in the body.
An effective antidote to this is Hot Stone massage, which uses heated
volcanic ( basalt ) rocks to transfer heat into the body, thereby relaxing
muscles and increasing overall circulation.
Hot Stone massage is deeply relaxing and has many therapeutic effects
including :
improved
circulation
boosted
immune system
detoxifying
relieves
muscular pain
reduced
stress levels
increased
energy
better
sleep
A hot stone treatment will be of benefit to most people, but
particularly to those who feel the chill and get cold feet and hands. It is good
for a variety of health conditions including poor circulation, arthritis, anxiety, insomnia and
depression.
This
hot stone treatment is combined with massage (deep tissue or relaxation) to enhance
the therapeutic effects. It is a perfectly natural and nurturing
way to counter the constricting impact of the coming winter.
