THE MOON

I would like to share an inspirational story dedicated to my dearest mom who passed away on the 27th January, 2013.

My mom was a firm believer in the energies of the full moon and used to do a full moon meditation each month.  The time of her passing was one could say by co-incidence, but I believe planned by her.  She passed at the full moon as it was shining brightly in the sky.  On Thursday the 25th April would have been her 80th birthday and it also happened to be full moon!

We gathered as a family at the cliff paths in our gorgeous little town to lay her ashes, her favourite place to walk.  The moon was so full and shining so brightly over the sea and there wasn't a breath of wind.  We wrote on floating lanterns and set them off into the sky.  Ending with the OM sound and saying her favourite prayer - The Great Invocation.  Truly the most incredible ceremony, which left me feeling on a high for a while.

What a wonderful reminder each month of my beautiful mom.

Hamba kakuhle mama wam, siyathanda kakuhle!............go well on your journey my mother, we love you!

Now a Member - Reflexology Association of America

This is exciting! This week I've officially joined the Reflexology Association of America. Membership in a professional organization like this seemed like someone else's dream. In fact, taking the bold step out of my comfort zone and onto the path of learning and education to become a Registered Certified Reflexologist (RCR) must have been someone else's dream, as well. In fact, in all reality, I believe my personal dreams were to0 deeply buried for too many years to even know they existed. Growing up with little encouragement from the home front to consider anything else than secretary or teacher as a future, I pretty much just made good grades because that seemed like the right thing to do, and received my B.A. just because it seemed like the right thing to do. That was in Journalism. Well, I didn't wish to teach or be a secretary, and it seemed like the next most right thing to do. . . . whatever the right thing is or was. RCR, like many other endeavors in my life, ...

Migraines Helped Through Reflexology -- Study from Denmark

Please click the headline above for the complete story from Sylvia Carlson. The results from this Danish research indicate that an astounding 81% of those in the study reported being helped by this therapy. Many even believed it was their cure. Migraine sufferers, that's worth checking out!!!! Was I one of those unfortunate enough to suffer the debilitating pain of migraines and even if I didn't know much about reflexology, after reading this article I feel rather certain I would give reflexology a chance. Also, I love visitors. Stop by my reflexology site, too.

Destress With These Suggestions

”Tranquility is life to the body, and contention is rottenness to the bones.” These incredibly wise words of King Solomon (at least in part) are seen at the top of this blog every time you visit. They also ring so true. Last week was not a tranquil one in the life of our family, and my body has felt it . . . particularily in exhaustion and what appeared to me as diminished mental capabilities at times. Anyone else been there?!? The events our family faced last week – some blissful and some quite sorrowful – were all ones we are unable to avoid. While we welcomed a beautiful new granddaughter into our lives, bringing us much joy, demands on our time and energy were truly stretched. Last week we also lost a beloved uncle, and readmitted my mother-in-law to the hospital once again as we watch her life diminishing. Stress is all around us. Sometimes, as in the situations above, it takes all that we have to make it through. Then our bodies let us know they are exhausted and in need of rest...
