Echoside: Phoenix Rose

When I say "collective" I am referring to the collective consciousness of this Earth, perhaps even the entire Universe.  I have seen it work through many people that have no awareness of the other person.  Think of it in terms like this, how two people on opposite ends of the earth can come up with very similar ideas and inventions, even before the internet this phenomenon was happening. There was a lot of synchronicity last week for Root / Base chakra energy and healing.  I decided to run a workshop with some close friends.  It turns out many of them had the same thoughts on the chakra work, then it started popping up that others were running similar workshops!  It's really amazing when you think about it. This week we are running Sacral chakra energy and healing.  The theme comes again, running through many different channels.  People working on masculine/feminine energies, someone randomly deciding to paint a wall orange.  People are gettin...

During a channeling session last week, which was not intended, and had quite an interesting outcome, the nursery rhyme of She Sells Sea Shells by the Seashore has been on my mind ever since.  The message, though not intended for me, is still applicable. Yesterday, despite the chilliness of the day, the boys and I went down to the waterfront with the intention of collecting driftwood for some projects my husband is working on.  I didn't expect to collect much for myself, until seeing that all the "rocks" and "sand" were actually shells.  My heart warmed me to the core, and I should have expected as much.  With the weather very similar to the northern shore of Northern Ireland's coast where the Giant's Causeway lays, the shoreline here was eerily similar: shells.  No sand, just shells. Everywhere, all along where the water met land, shells, all sizes, and two distinct shapes on this shoreline of Lake Ontario. The seagulls and other birds, must have a f...

Many things since March have been pointing me towards water.  It's cleansing and healing properties.  As someone who has identified as a Fire sign and element for so long, water and working with it as an elemental is somewhat foreign to me. Summer Solstice is fast approaching and a common theme is making a pilgrimage to sacred water.  However, this can be accomplished at home using a decorative fountain, bowl/basin, bathtub, or shower.  And I will be taking the opportunity to do the following water connection spell. Focus on the water and give yourself time to connect.  Say this spell, written by Deborah Blake, feel free to adapt it or completely create your own.  Her words have resonated for me and I will be using them.  After the words are spoken take a nice refreshing drink of water. "Water to cleanse and wash away fears / The rain like Gaia's gentle tears Ocean's fierce and rumbling roar / As its waves rush to the shore Water flows...
