The new moon is a few days old now and is in the phase, known to certain American Indian Tribes, as the Strawberry Moon. I returned home to Galway, briefly this weekend, and the ripening strawberries along my garden path reminded me of this old Indian custom. I have worked with Indian tribes in the American west quite a few times and they are deeply spiritual people who I am very close to and who I still have contact with. When time permits, I intend to take up one of the many standing invitations I have to return there. I particularly appreciate their respect and awe of animals as spirit guides, a psychic phenomenon very close to my own heart.

The Strawberry Moon becomes full on 7th June when the fruit is ripe and ready for harvest.

We are what we think.
All that we are arises with our thoughts.
With our thoughts we make the world.
Speak or act with a pure mind,
and happiness will follow you
as your shadow, unshakeable.

How can a troubled mind understand the way?
Your worst enemy cannot harm you as much
as your own thoughts unguarded.
But once mastered,
no one can help you as much,
not even your father or your mother.

Buddha (from the Dhammapada, translated by Thomas Byron)

I have missed the moon over the last few days. Often at night I will, regardless of the weather, go out and sit and look at the moon. When she is on the wane, and not visible, as now, I tend to feel a little miserable and down. That’s why I chose one of my favourite buddhist texts (above) to read, and shake me out of my depression.

 The new moon, however, will be in the sky, and hopefully visible, on Sunday 24th May. This moon, rising in Gemini, I have a good feeling about. A new moon, a new month, and a new start to try and put all those negative thoughts out of our heads – for as the Buddah says, “Our worst enemy can’t harm us as much”. How true that is.

For those of you in need of a Reading, now (the time of the new moon) is a great time………

To paraphrase Bob Dylan rather badly. The times are changing. I’ve noticed this a lot recently. So many things are in flux. The economy, the weather systems, politicians no one can trust. It occurred to me that the one constant we do have is our spirituality. This is something we can always fall back on when everyhing else around us seems to be in turmoil. It so important that we nurture and develop this gift, for we all possess it to some degree. Like any other gift though, this vital attribute to our well-being is apt to get overlooked. With bills to pay, children to tend to, and a million other things to cope with, it’s no wonder sometimes that we lose touch with our spiritual self. This is truly sad because when all else fails our spiritual self is the ONLY thing that will pull us through. Trust me on this – I know I’m right. Give some thought then, even if for a few moments every day, to your spiritual self and how lost and adrift we truly would be without this gift to fall back on in times of trouble.

Take note of what your heart says. We all have dreams. Some of us follow them, others do not. For many, just when they are on the brink of realizing their dream, the head overrules the heart and the dream is dashed, sometimes forever. What then follows is a lifetime of regret and resentment for those who we see as having prevented us from realizing our dreams. But anyone who truly loves someone would do anything to help that person towards realizing their dream and therefore their true destiny.
So beware of those who actively stand in the way of our dreams, they may think they love us, but truly they may only fear for themselves.

Just a few thoughts from Lianne on a bright sunny May morning!

Good Omens

Are you taking note of the omens around you?
Believe me, they are all around us. To me they are like another language – one that is there for everyone to read if only they cared to.
Something as simple as a Robin sitting on a branch as we pass by can mean a great deal. This happened to me yesterday as I was walking through the woods near my home. The robin fluttered close by, but when I stopped to observe him, the Robin didn’t fly away, as these normally shy birds do, but hopped even closer, cocking his head to one side and fixing me with a glittering black jewel of an eye.
He held my gaze for a short time then in a heartbeat he was off. So what? You might say. But I know there is a message there somewhere. I will let you know in the coming days – something will definitely occur that is connected to that Robin.
