Spring has sprung here at Heartland! The sun is shining, the birds are singing (the king parrots are back!!) and the frogs are singing into the nights….. our guests are enjoying our morning mantras (and we are all getting our tongues around the Gayatri Mantra!!!) and the NEW TEMPLE!!!!! It is wonderful and the energy in it is truly beautiful. I have painted a gold Om on the altar side of the temple (outside) and finally my big buddha has been put together to sit in the garden in front of the gold Om.
Les was sharing yesterday that the sanskrit Om shape actually means “everything” which means God is everything, everything is God.
Some people come here and wonder why we like the number 3 so much!!! J ha ha
We are enjoying the art space in the afternoons, the inspirational talks (thanks Les!) the wonderful massages and treatments (I am going to have one this week too!) and we are busy bees as per usual. Viv is back in our Heartland kitchen serving up delicious meals for us – and Kelley is on her way home to Heartland after being away for a week. Kim has been helping us along with Vanessa. Both have been such wonderful helpers this week. I couldn’t have done it without you girls! J Bless you.
Its funny but I didn’t think life could get any busier until 2009 came upon us! Phew… Sometimes I really am amazed that we have developed such a beautful place as Heartland – that it is our vision come into fruition! It truly is growing into a special place.
We would love to have a healing yurt in the garden – and a labyrinth to walk – down near the lagoon. We want lots & lots more trees planted – so if ever you feel inspired to come & help (either by donating trees or donating your time to plant them) we would love to hear from you. I have found that the more we give of ourselves, the more we have inside to give! Its amazing really. Les always says “be the love, be the peace, be the giving”. Churchill once said, that “we make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give”.
I have written in the front of my address book – “I myself do nothing- the Holy Spirit accomplishes all through me” by William Blake. I love that! It is a reminder for me that the spirit which I am, is the same spirit in you. We are all one in spirit. And that spirit flows through us (like our breath) and we are always that connection to the Divine energy. There is nothing else. We are a part of that “everything”. Try being that “flow” of life, while meditating (or going about your chores…) Being that Divine expression coming in with the in-breath, and allowing that Divine expression to flow out with our out-breath. Mmmmmmmm thats nice… I might go & practice that while I set the table for lunch!
Bless you all.
