The Power of the World always works in circles

 

Have you noticed that everything an Indian does is in a circle, and that is because the Power of the World always works in circles, and everything tries to be round..... The Sky is round, and I have heard that the earth is round like a ball, and so are all the stars. The wind, in its greatest power, whirls. Birds make their nest in circles, for theirs is the same religion as   ours... Even the seasons form a great circle in their changing, and always come back again to where they were. The life of a man is a circle from childhood to childhood, and so it is in everything where power moves.

~Black Elk, Oglala 

This cycle of living is something I know very well as I was forced by circumstance to follow my very own cycle so closely for a number of years and resorting to all sorts of magical and mystical things to try and right my energy balance with the world.  Funny all it took was to get madly pissed.  Something I had  purposefully stayed away from to help my chances of falling pregnant.  When I finished up with the IVF Program I went out and finally I got wasted and then I got pregnant.  Phenomenal. I actually went round in a complete circle and experienced the full gamut of it all from start to finish and finally I fell naturally and I delivered naturally as well.

The Biblical name for angel, מלאך mal'ach, which translates simply as "messenger,"

May the angel who redeems me from all evil, bless the children, and let my name be named in them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac, and let them flourish like fish for multitude in the midst of the land. 

(Genesis 48:16)

 In Zoroastrianism there are different angel-like figures. For example, each person has one guardian angel, called Fravashi. They patronise human beings and other creatures, and also manifest God’s energy.

I often make things from virtually nothing creating something useful from what others may term as rubbish or view with little or no esteem.  It is within these things that I try to find the original beauty from the pieces elements as presented to me.
I have all of my beads out on the table and I have been waiting for that wave to overcome me as it does and when it does is when I create these decals.  I love them and I love to make them from various materials.

Pictured above is part of the base of one of these and the beads seemingly took on a persona of an angel.  As soon as it was hung in the window I saw her and I felt compelled to say hello.
We all know angels hang out in strange places.  This angel seems to want to hang out in my back window and I love her and think she is quite lovely.  I think she likes the sun like I do and that is why she has chosen to hang out here with me in this spot.

I will get this wave I talk about and it is a creative wave.  I tend to call it the zone.  It isn't something I can manipulate though.  It comes and when it comes I do not have much control as I will create the most amazing things no matter where I am or whatever is at my disposal.

If you are never scared, embarrassed or hurt it means you never take any chances.

Making a mistake is not indicative to failure.   If you learned from your failure this is indicative of your success in life.  It is attitude that counts.  Being grateful for what you do have and not what you don't have.   At times in my life it hurts and I have been scared to death.  Really scared to death.  This is the reason for my pension.  I have P.T.S.D. from being held hostage in the bush at knife point and then living with my ex husband who was going to shoot me.  I have been to the 'fear wall' and its not pleasant and it isn't comfortable.  

If these places were places of comfort, we would not adjust our behavior.  We would stay unchanged and never grow.    Grow today and give yourself a little scare.  Feel that you are still alive.

State in your mind and Chant with your mouth...

Today we have been learning more about ancient practices and today we were learning about the beginnings of the five Reiki Principals


The secret art of inviting happiness, The miraculous medicine for all diseases.  At least for today:

Do not be angry, Do not worry,

Be grateful, Work with diligence,

Be kind to people.

Every morning and evening, join your hands in meditation and pray with your heart.  State in your mind and chant with your mouth.

I learned about the heart chakra first because I was told by a Reiki master that my heart chakra was so large it was taking up my entire chest area.  This was an interesting statement to me as I knew nothing much about Reiki.  I steered away from it in the years past as people were charging people money for this practice.  When anyone charges money for the gifts from God I get worried and its a big problem in my book.  So I never really embraced it when I was younger in my teens and early twenties etc. because of this.

I head out in the early mornings to do this sort of thing before the sun.  I go with an expectant heart and I go with a desire to see the best in the world today.  I can only concern myself with the now as I practice this because now is all I have is that moment.  The last moment is already gone and the next is waiting for the now to die before it steps onto the stage of existence.

We didn't get to go today as the day is very grey in colour and it is looking very much like rain. But there is always tomorrow and so today must be a day for other things and a starting off from a different perspective today.

Lets start with lots of dancing this morning!  .Dancing is something I do for health and happiness as it makes me happy and raises my heart rate at the same time.  I wasn't lucky enough to ever attend a dance class in my entire life.  Many of my peers attended such when we were children.  I watched on as they performed and I learned as a small child that these things were not for me.

 

 Formal training in any direction was above all held away from me and classed as a total waste to spend any money like this on such a human being as myself.  Harsh thinking and it was even harsher living under it believe me!

This could be the reason I struggle with strange thoughts as I do a lot.  It isn't easy when you have to bolster yourself against manipulative psychopathic people who are intent on breaking your very spirit!  All consciences missing from their very makeup of being and a hate for my mother like no other on this earth.  Strange living under this guise I can assure you.  The stuff I was forced to believe is unbelievable.
