The Golden Picture Frame Contest #2

alfalfa_pictureframe3
Welcome to the second ever Golden Picture Frame Contest!
Put on your herbal thinking caps! What herb is this (this contest is now over so the picture links to the answer)? I know its hard because this cut and sifted herb looks like a lot of different cut and sifted herbs. Hint: Its one of the photoestrogenics. And you might want to browse our herbal section as it is listed there.

I invite you to take a guess by making your comment below. The winner receives their free choice of tumbled stone from our lovely store!

Flower Essences – Addressing Those Emotions We Like to Deny

What would you say if I told you your left foot keeps cramping because of an emotional issue with your mother? Or that the pain in your neck is because you have a “pain in the neck” person in your life? Or even that the hard cysts in your breasts are from a hardness in your life?

If we consider that the aspects of our emotional lives can manifest in our physical body as dis-ease, how do we address it?

Emotional healing plays a large part in the path to wholeness. Our emotions deserve attention! So many people don’t like to look at them because they hurt. This is where the flower essences come in, they help to heal in a vibrational way when emotional damage is part of the dis-ease. It is my theory that an emotional element usually exists in a dis-ease situation in the body.

I welcome you to learn more about flower essences or becoming a flower essence practitioner yourself by visiting our complete compilation of all 38 Bach Original Flower Essences as well as over 100 North American Organic Flower Essences.

Do You Want to Meet Your Celestial Parents?

While doing shamanic work with Amethyst Wyldfyre, a local Shaman trained in the Peruvian Tradition (who follows Alberto’s work, author of this book), I was able to contact my true Celestial Parents, the beings who had messages for me. This book walked me through a meditation explaining exactly how to contact these parents. After the meditation, I made a digital drawing of these Celestial Parents. A week after I made this digital drawing, these parents could be seen in a photo of me. It was an incredible confirmation! This book has triggered a new chapter in my spiritual journey.

I learned about two additional chakras, the 8th Chakra and the Soul Chakra. I also learned how our chakras are effected when a soul fracture occurs within a certain chakra, effecting our personalities. I was fascinated by the Chamber of Wounds, the Chamber of Treasure, and the Chamber of Soul Contracts (some contracts not even from my lifetime). This book is a true exploration of our spiritual anatomy, I highly recommend “Soul Retrieval” as a part of one’s spiritual journey on the path to wholeness.

Give the Gift of a Life Long Tool for a Child

I just finished reading this children’s book by Eckhart Tolle. Imagine if we had been taught to be “in the now” as children! Instead of being hurt about the past, or worrying about the future, we can teach our children to enjoy being in the present.

This story is about Milton, a happy young boy who is bullied by a 6th grader on the playground at school. Through the wise advice of his grandfather, and through his own intuition in the dreamtime, Milton learns a whole new way to look at life.

You can teach “The Now” to a child with this hearttouching bedtime story. Imagine! The ideal time to teach this wisdom to a person is when their minds are young, open and unhurt. A precious, precious gift.

Introducing The Golden Picture Frame Contest

issue1
In light of well, light, I have decided to begin a fun and free contest called The Golden Picture Frame Contest. I will be posting images of items in Golden Picture Frames, and the person who can tell me what it is first and what it is for, will win a free tumbled stone of their choice. (Tumbled Stones can be viewed here).

So our First Golden Picture Frame is a picture of a project I have just barely completed today. It is a very fun and useful project that I have done. My big lefty is a pretty gigantous hint! For those of you that are familiar with my herbal practice, you can easily guess what this is and what it is for! (OOH another big hint!)

Write your comments as far as what you think this is, and what it is for, and have fun guessing! (Click the picture to view a bigger version).

p.s. Annie you are disqualified due to inside knowledge! Love ya!
