Undervaluing versus Love

Undervaluing versus Love

We should never undervalue ourselves, others, the planet etc
It is through love that we grow, self love, love for others, love for the planet and beyond.

To undervalue yourself brings hurt, emotional unhappiness,  it keeps you locked in a cycle of pain and there is then no room for growth. These people that will sabotage their own well being, continually bringing about pain & suffering to themselves.

To undervalue someone else brings hurt too, there are some people that will boost their own feelings of superiority by belittling and undervaluing others - this is an insecurity, to which their ego feeds off.  To inflict any form of pain or suffering on another, is detrimental to your own well being.

To undervalue the earth, is to take for granted the very foundation that supports us. Another way to look at this, is recognising our link/connection with the earth. We are tied to this planet, it enables us to thrive, therefore we are connected, so to undervalue the earth is to undervalue an aspect of ourselves - the same can be said of our relationships with others. "What we do unto others, we do to ourselves".

So if this is Undervaluation - the negative aspect....
then what of the positive.....Love.

The definition of Love is, an emotion of strong affection and personal attachment.   Love is also a virtue representing all of human kindness, compassion, and affection; and "the unselfish loyal and benevolent concern for the good of another.

I know it sounds very 60's hippy to say "love and peace", but it's true!!! Through love we grow, we support one another, we respect each other and all that surrounds us. A loving environment is one that is happy, one that all can prosper in, one in which we can all learn and grow in, and one which we support and respect one another.  Which makes.....a happy you, happy people and a happy planet!!!

We all have choices presented to us in which we can choose the undervaluing, taking for granted, 'every man for himself', unloving, egotistical option. Or we can choose the loving, happy, nurturing, caring, selfless, for 'the greater good' option.
Don't get me wrong, I'm far from perfect and I can hold my hand up to picking the wrong options, many, many times. Knowing and recognising my mistakes has given me the chance to look at myself and the effect I can have on myself, the people I meet and communicate with and this planet.....

this my reflection. X

It could be time for making a decision, of a choice, but not out of reaction.  Act with the honesty and integrity demanded by Justice.  You maybe called on to be true to yourself - to your own nature.  Being called to account for your actions.  Litigation.  Making decisions which involve weighing up arguments and exercising discrimination.  Is now a time for severity and discipline, or for mercy and acceptance.

Dowsing for Energy

Dowsing for Energy

So ok, I've just bought myself a pair of dowsing rods, as I promised myself, and I'm trying them out!  My main focus initially is to dowse for pockets or lines of earth energy.  I'm hoping that this will take me on a journey, one that will bring me closer still to the earth....this bountiful planet that supports us all.  I love all kinds of nature, and the earth is nature......the magic and science behind it all, is nature too!  I want to feel the earth energy, to be part of it and also to help heal the earth, where man has depleted it of all it's goodness.

So with this in mind, a pair of rods and no book (lots of help on the internet though), I'm setting off on a journey with no expectations and plenty of enthusiam.

This is where I started with a little info on ley lines......


The current definition of a Ley-line according to http//:Wikipedia.en.org/ is as follows:

'Ley lines are hypothetical alignments of a number of places of geographical interest, such as ancient monuments and megaliths. Their existence was suggested in 1921 by the amateur archaeologist Alfred Watkins, whose book 'The Old Straight Track' brought the alignments to the attention of the wider public'.

Ley lines are often marked along the way by markers (ley markers), these could be ancient earthworks (mounds, long-barrows, cairns,  Dolmens, standing stones, mark-stones, stone circles, henges), or water-markers (moats, ponds, springs, fords, wells), castle, beacon-hills, bhurches, bross-roads, notches in hills, and camps (Hill-forts).

There are many theories on their purpose, from funeral path (transporting the dead), spirit paths and fairy paths. 
The art of Feng Shui is the study of the earth's electro magnetic field, practitioners determined the current - 'Lung-mei' or Dragon currents, then the placements of buildings, furniture, plants were carefully considered to enable this current to flow freely.
We know that often ley lines make astronomical alignments, one of the largest Leys in England, the so-called St. Michaels Ley, is aligned along the path of the sun on the 8th of May (The spring festival of St. Michael) and can therefore be considered astronomical.  Geometric lines and shapes have also been discovered and documented.  Other cultures knew of ley lines too, the Mayans had the'Sache', the Incas had the 'Ceques', and the Aborigines had the 'Turginas'.

Some roads seem to follow leys, or rather the roads were built over or next to the leylines. It seems that many of these long straight roads and tracks, that we had previously thought of as Roman are actually older than that, and are possibly running along leys.

Obviously all these fact are about the known lines and the energy points along them.....but I'm sure that the UK is covered with lots of lesser lines, ones that haven't been found, ones that aren't giving out the scale of energy that St. Michaels Ley is perhaps, but are there all the same.....waiting to be discovered.....waiting to be honoured, cherished and cared for.  So thats my journey....I hope I discover lots of interesting things....and I hope I can find some energy points and lines, to be able to respect, learn and heal the earth. 
Whatever I find I'm sure it will be amazing  X

An awakening......non conformity

Whatever has caused the shift, I'm grateful!

I did my rebellious bit as a teenager, as often we do.....after many years of doing as I was told, by parent, by teacher, by society.
I then settled down and conformed as is expected of us, but bubbling under the surface is the true me....who never left - the one who dares to be different, who ask questions that make some people feel a little awkward.....who likes the alternate view on the world.

The world is changing.....waking up and I'm all for it!

I am passionate about looking after our planet, it's environments, it's flora & fauna and it's humans. I struggle with accepting information handed out by government officials and the like, who expect complete submission from us - a 'no questions please' policy. They live in a world completely disconnecting from the majority of us, away from nature, and completely wrapped up in figures, statistics and power. It's a world so sterile, without love and happiness, without beauty and wonder.....where exploitation, abuse and lies are commonplace.

I am glad that we are waking up, deciding that it's time to be heard.....unifying for common causes.....loving and caring voices, cutting through the corrupt bleakness. Joining together and pooling our resources, sharing our skills for the well being of all. X

Go deeper now, let go of your striving. True freedom and independence are found through surrender.
Peace, understanding and patience.
The seeds of inspiration may soon be harvested in a period of successful creative activity. You could experience deep feelings that seem to have little to do with your everyday circumstances, as your inner awareness and sensitivities develop. Letting go of your expectations in order to discover more about a particular situation. A radical reversal of values or attitudes.

Live......in Love

'Live .....in Love', I woke with these words in my mind this morning; what a nice way to start the day!

It makes me wonder what kind of world we'd be in if we lived in love? I don't mean just the love that you express for a partner, family, your children or pets, but love in all our relationships.  Loving ourselves unconditionally and all people, the planet, our work, our dreams and ideas.

We get caught up in our egos, all to often, tending our wounds and believing that 'we' or 'they' are not worth it. We can make ourselves miserable with such attitudes as 'poor me', and we will make those around us unhappy too.
If you imagine two plants one planted in nutrient rich soil and another in soil devoid of any goodness, then the plant that is living in poor soil will wither and grow poorly and weak, but the plant that is grown in good soil will thrive.  This is the case for us too, we should care, love and nurture all that is around us, for in doing so we love ourselves.


All things thrive on love, our environment, animals and the Earth and we all deserve love......unconditional love.

 The saying is 'Love Conquers All' and I believe it true!
