Update~ Past week reflection & Naikan

Hello Universe~
Wow..thanks for the boat load of lessons this last week! I am feeling a little like I have sea legs..as I have rode out another storm! whew! All in all I am feeling pretty blessed. I started my Naikan distance learning program this weekend and the timing to this could never have been better!
This month is a month of self-reflection hence the title of the course!
So as I wallow in all of the things that I Am truly grateful for, I see that no matter how bad things are or seem to be, there is so many more things that I have to be thankful for! This is so hard to do when you are stuck the in 'muck' of the illusion all around you. Much like the lotus flower, as I emerge from the depths of darkness and murkiness I transform into an incredible flower.

I am so thankful for the people in my life that are supporting me and feeling my pain. I am so sorry to reflect my pain on any of you and please know that I am sending you love and sunshine. This last week has been about faith, belief, and so many of you bringing up the word survivor or survival. I even had someone bring up the movie Survivor, with Tom Hanks and the part about the ice skate. Yes the past week was about all these things. I read a lot this weekend and watched the movie "Dragonfly" with Kevin Costner. I bought myself a new stainless steel tea pot and some holiday teas. I burned my pumpkin spice candle all weekend as well as my St. Michael, the Archangel candle. I cooked a free range turkey and I will be making various turkey dishes through out the week! I just love this time of year!!!

I thank our Earth Mother and nature for the beautiful messages I have received. The magical Dragonfly is no doubt my animal totem at this stage of my life. I spent the last three days studying this amazing insect. Besides the fact that it metamorphosed from a water nymph to a winged beauty..it is highly regarded in Japan and amazingly enough Naikan, is a Japanese practice based in Buddhism. The dragonfly has been coming to me for the past six months and I was told he/she was trying to bring me a message. After my dragonfly adventures this past Friday...I have no doubt. The messages have been many and I know that I am on a never ending cycle of transformation. Between my Creator, my Angels, my guides, and Mother Earth I am truly a student of universal understanding that is of divinity and of love and of miracles!

Have a wondeful day..,and until next time be happy, be joyous, and be Blessed~


I thank all my fellow students at the To Do institute and I look forward to this month with all of you. Please feel free to dd comments to my blog!!!!!

Happy November!

Dragonfly medicine please come to me and help me see
through the illusion and reflect the light of higher awareness
Thank you dragonfly for the balance you bring
The element water to soothe my emotions
The element air to clear my mind.
With your appearance
Peace I shall find~
