Focus for the Planet right now...

There is a lot of fear around right now on our earth, with reports from Japan, Christchurch, Libya - it seems as though everytime we turn on the TV there is something else wrong. Let's all work together to pray/meditate/focus on good things for the earth, the plants, the animals, and the people. I just read the following quote from Louise Hay on facebook, and it reminded me to keep focussed...

"There is so much good I can do for the planet. At times, I may work for causes.

At other times, I may use the power of my thoughts to help heal the planet.

If I hear news of a world disaster or acts of senseless violence, I immediately surround the whole situation with love.

I send positive energy and do visualizations, seeing the incident working out with a solution that is best for everyone." - Louise L. Hay

How to Massage



Lovely technique don't you think? Not sure about the nail length tho.
You can bury a lot of troubles digging in the dirt. - Author Unknown

I can't think of a better therapy to prescribe - for any of us really - than to go and create a garden, to tend it each day, and water it, weed it, and share it with someone else, whether it is someone that happens to walk by, or someone to help you in it. Dig that dirt, tell it your troubles, plant your seeds, and wait for spring, mourn over the plants that die, and watch as leaves fall. Watch as the years turn and marvel over your garden. Plant trees and flowers and vegetables to remind you of friends or relatives no longer with you. Pick the flowers when they bloom and remember them tenderly. Cook the recipes that loved ones nurtured you with. Create a wonderful - marvellous soul place for yourself... over the years.
