September's Song

Along this Pacific California coast,
beauty captures the piqued eye,
striking sweetly the heart,
inviting the deepest essence.
Tat Tvam Asi...I am that.
A recognition of earth's rhythms
internal yet ringing full
in Autumnal shift...
The refreshing force
of this eternal gift
sharing its flow
in this now...

June Blooming Full Moon

2011-06-15T16:40:00.000-07:00

A simply gorgeous day here on the Monterey Coast with so much in bloom! Amazingly, I find myself this Full Moon having just moved approximately 30 minutes from one of THE strawberry capitals of the States - the Salinas Valley in Central California. Though unable to photograph them in their glory, I was shown their harvesting fields on a quick driving tour last weekend. What a juicy time this season initiates!

When you are inspired, take a moment to visualize a full, ripe strawberry, noticing its resemblance to the human heart... Then allow yourself to explore the ways this full ripened berry and the warm open heart both gives us pleasure: the juicy flow of nectar speaking love with each bite, the bright red (earth) stabilizing and supporting our health, the centering white (light) providing a contrasting balance and texture to the sweet velvety strawberry flesh.

At this near Solstice time, with the longest day coming soon, you are invited to replenish your soul with the bounties Father Sun has nurtured with vibrant warmth and light. Enjoy your favorite bloom -- be it vegetable or violet, lavender or lettuce, fruit or foxtail -- reveling in the gifts of even the most fragile yet resilient garden... Perhaps see it completely anew...under this June Blooming / Strawberry Full Moon!

You are also invited to attend in spirit / body our monthly Full Moon Gratitude and Fire Ceremony in Los Gatos, CA this Thursday, June 16th. See this Facebook link for details.

Peace and may you flow with the flowers' wind...

May's Full Flower Moon

2011-05-17T13:04:00.000-07:00

As the rains are cleansing and transforming our sacred Moon ceremony space this month, I still must share what is on my heart about this magical day:

~ This Full Flower Moon asks us to "stop and smell the roses", to be in gratitude for the newness of Life, and to notice the blossoming of what is bursting forth from the seeds of our own intentions and essence. This powerful moon calls for balancing the masculine (lancing old wounds to create...) and the feminine (...harmony, reawakening our intuition), having a foot in both of those worlds, to examine our environments and past emotions surrounding them, for releasing into magnificent endings and embracing new beginnings! Mmmm, sounds yummy...

   * EXAMPLE: As we are relentlessly supported by our Mother offering to us our highest good, this month's postponement could be viewed by "yours truly" for instance, as a gift of FULL focus on a physical move -- scheduled for tomorrow!?! -- to the coast for clarity and transformation. A truly MAGICAL ending to an existence and location for me that is no longer of mighty use. Again, fully supported and exquisitely timed by Essence / Source. Wow.

  ~ More endings and beginnings feel eminent here on this beautiful Earth. Celebrate, dear Ones, this time of Allowing... Allowing more Love to flow. Allowing our senses to be honored through Nature's unadorned, exquisite gifts. Allowing the Light to shine between the cracks of our imperfections. As the flowers allow the water to rinse away the dust and moisten the earth for growth, I invite us to allow that which is no longer brilliantly useful to and powerfully present for our Life's growth to gently flow / walk / run away.... Yes, if there is running involved, it is a NEEDED release.

   * EXAMPLE: However someone may "leave" our life, at their core they may be feeling compelled at various levels (whether aware or not) to change direction and focus on their newest "higher good" plan for all involved on their current journey. I invite us each to trust this (left brain / masculine) and see the brilliance in (right brain / feminine) their choice. For THE highest good...

Enough for now as I must resume the releasing project the Universe beautifully set in motion for me! When I get settled, there will be more shared here about journeying in this unbounded, evolutionary time on our sweet Earth.

Blessings, love, hugs, light and sweet flower awareness to each of you on this powerful day and we will gather next month! Excited! :-)

Namaste, L'aura / Lala

What Is Your Truest Treasure?

2011-03-14T08:00:00.000-07:00

Resting comfortably within my blessed home surrounded by beautiful decor, I watch 6 minutes of horrendous Tsunami waters destroy and move literally tons of possessions and structures, transforming all sense of belonging(s) to a whispered memory... My heart remains astonished, in anguish, in awe. There are no words. So I will borrow Osho's. In honor of our Japanese brothers and sisters who have lost much from this Tsunami:

The Buddha is your intrinsic nature. It need not be created.

It has not to develop either, it is already there, it is already the case.

It has only to be unfolded, it has to be [re-]discovered.

The treasure is there; you have to find the key to unlock the door.

The treasure is not to be created, the treasure is not to be developed;

you have only to find the right key. You have forgotten about the key,

the key is within you.

- Osho from "Be Still And Know"

May you be clear on your truest treasure or essence within. May you share that awareness with each other at this tragic time. And may know you are held up in light and love by many across this world...

Ayurvedic lunch today

2011-02-23T14:22:00.000-08:00

Sitting in a cafe, considering my late lunch options, thoughts swirl around the closest Indian fare here in downtown Campbell... Desiring mild curry fire, veggies and quinoa for maximum metabolic results. I think I'm making it myself...
