Blessed Ostara 
March  20, 2009

Spring solstice usually brings thoughts of warm weather & sunlight. The weather today, however, is decidedly un-springlike with cold & snow showers on our horizon. Green shoots, though, are pushing up out of the moist earth. This is one of my favorite times of the year -the days are longer than the nights, it's getting warmer, & summer is on the horizon.
   Awakening from the long cold winter season, we all seek a fresh start, a cleansing if you like.  This is a time of balance, day & night, sun & moon & also balance in our lives & bodies. All in perfect harmony.
We renew our spirit & celebrate the spring goddess Ostara, whose name means "shining or rising towards the Sun."  Ostara was honored with celebrations on Spring  Equinox, around March 20th. Fertility & abundance return because above all, Ostara is a goddess of fertility. Must be the reason she is surrounded by all those rabbits & eggs!

WHAT TO DO ON OSTARA
After winters gloom let the sunshine in. Clutter-out!! Some lovely lemon oil, orange or a crisp grapefruit will not only scent your home but purify as well. This is a good time to re-do your altar & dedicate it to the goddess Ostara. Decorate with fresh flowers, yellow candles, light pastel cloths & crystals.  Easter eggs? You bet, though mine will be of the chcolate variety. This year when you plant those seeds plant some new ideas. As the flowers & fruits grow & bloom so shall you. Be fearless. Soar to new heights.
   Have A SPECIAL way of celebrating the Spring Equinox? Please share. Time to head out & play-May Spring "bust out all over" in your life!

Things That Make You Go OMMM
 
I always knew our mysts were powerful, but some of your stories blow me away. The Dalai Lama often speeks of  the magic of Kauai. The essences gifted from this sacred space are indeed enchanted. Hawaii is considered by many to be more than a power source on our planet's energy grid. Those who work with energy, consider the entire chain one of Earth's Chakras. I am truly honored to be working with these unique essences. Our mysts are ritual offerings to the gods
 
Joining our new myst,  INNER OM, I would like to introduce  NAMASTE.
  The term is a Sanskrit greeting  that literally interprets as "I bow to You."  It represents the Oneness of all, perfect wholeness. This oil blend is a serene, soothing Indian blend, created to bring calm & joy to the heart & peace to the spirit-oils, essences, herbs,crystals & copal. This one  reminds us we are all equal & we are all one
 

Schedule for our spring & summer classes will be out Sunday. This said, I hope everyone has a wonderful day. Blessings to you and yours

Shanti, Namast�, Peace & Love,
