Staying grounded and connected

The question of today is...how to embrace the challenge(s) I face today. I must get focused, grounded and connected to the energies of the earth while being creative in the process?

I have many crafting items to complete; many sculptures waiting to be uploaded. Woodboxes, crafts and many other things of the sort. Staying focused and grounded is a challenge I'm facing today. Not getting things done is making me the ultimate procrastinator today.

Today the weather is clear and warming...I need to walk upon the earth. Yet, my body sits still. My feet walk upon the wooden planks of my floor....and sit still at my computer desk.
My fingers tingle upon the keys of my keyboard. My mind wanders, listless and lacking motivation to get anything done....Today, I'm feeling challenged, I want not to think, but I must follow my to do list....my body aches and feels tortured...I've allowed my client to invade my spirit and have to recollect the energy I've given to my job.

Eventually, I will learn the art of shaking, and work with its energies that allows my soul to be free of the mundane challenges, especially how I'm feeling today, it will certainly be of assistance for the challenges I face in this late afternoon. Constant planning, constant thinking, constant living.

As it is part of my plan in this late time of the day, I shall Breathe in the fresh air and awaken my soul. I know that life will always be a challenge, and know that it's how one embraces that challenge is something one does, but not master. I my opinion, I believe one should not master challenge(s), because challenge(s) are portals of creativity, the outlets of expressions to be.

Today, in hesitation, I'll let go and embrace my challenges, free my soul and experience life within and life around me.

As a process of creating my earths' energy....I walk upon the earth, let the goddess/muses' energy seep through the souls of my feet...listen to the words of the gods and thank them for guiding me further on my path.

And in facing my challenges today, I will chant a ditty I've written at a spiritual retreat in 2001...it's titled By my Word. This chant helps me when faced with spiritual, creative and thought provoking challenges.....It's a rhythmic and repetitive chant.

Enjoy it and I invite you to use this chant when in search of guidance and motivation from the gods.

By my word I will my craft
Guide me further on my path
God and Goddess hear my call
By earth, air, fire and water
I call to you
I call to you

The coming season

Hail and Welcome to all. Whether you're a solitary or with a coven....Blessings to all for this coming season.

During the Yuletide season, I'm usually overwhelmed with the stresses of shopping, packing, travelling to visit family and friends, and with the coming of January 1st. The new year of January 1st never felt to be a new year for me.

I find myself shaking off the drosses of the Yuletide hustle and bustle,and intuitively around Imbolc I begin to bud, anticipate the coming of the season, give offerings and welcome the land to awaken; and with the arrival of spring, it's like a breath of fresh air...I began to blossom, grow, heal with the coming light, the breeze of warmth is all around me, healing me, motivating me to go, do, be in the presence of life around me. As with each new year we are re-born of wisdom and with the continual blessings of life. And within three days of the Spring Equinox, I celebrate my arrival in the universe.

In Persia No Ruz /Spring Equinox marks the beginning of the year as the Spring Equinox/Ostara does for many that follow the pagan path.

The Spring Equinox is such a powerful time of year. The wheel has turned, Light overcomes dark. The land becomes fertile, it's time to create that wish, make manifest that dream, grow with the land, get rid of the old, make room for the new. Let the healing light and warmth of the season be the spark of light that guides you. Be in the here and now, live in the present and BREATHE....it's all about balance.

Never really knowing what the stars or the universe have in store for me, I thank the Gods that they hear my calls and bestow my wishes that I will, harming none.

This year I have a greater wish for growth and I ask of the Gods for their aid to help make manifest.

I'm seeking to create Earthsenergies to be a physical shop. Yes, a shop in which many that live in the NYC area can journey to. A shop that will have an online site to continue hosting to my many consumers and those alike.

So as the newness of spring awakens, so do I. I'm excited and anticipate what's in store for myself, my creation and the with the assistance of the Gods.

Awaken, Transform, let your spirits be reborn...Spring has sprung and it's about growth and renewal, reconnecting with the land.

As I grow, so does Earthsenergies.
Visit my site www.earthsenergies.etsy.com for updates and new product.

I will keep you all updated on the process to the creation of my store, Sacred Energies.

Blessings,
Athena

The Start of something New

Happy New Year Everybody!!!! I know, it's been a while since I've been on my blog. I'm so lost when it comes to passwords and remembering all the websites...yeesh....I'm not the computer geek I thought.

Well, the wheel definitely does turn and it's been turning and I'm hanging on figuring out what I'm up to. So far, I've had a psychic tell me that I'll have opportunity in April...if I don't take advantage of the opportunity, the door will be shut! How anxious did this make me....VERY! Okay, how will I know I'm being challenged by an opportunity....? I'm thinking, will it be something I'm doing now....? Taking a Fast Trac business course for entreperneurs.....I'd love to Open a New Age Store and add all the lovely works on my etsy site? Hmmm, well, my business course is challenging and intense. I must say, it's a motivation, although, I find myself hesitant in the financial sector....anyway....I'm loving that I have Earthsenergies on Etsy and making it work with the support of you all.
Thank you for shopping at my online store and I'm very humble and grateful for the support.

Until the near future,
All be blessed and enjoy the year....it's full of opportunity.

Cheers,
Athena
