Between the dark and the light
Many years ago I did a course where we were asked each day 'how are you?' We were encouraged not to respond with 'fine' and to include even contradictory emotions, because we can feel sad and happy or frustrated and indifferent at the same time.
Back then this was a revelation - that we can contain a wide range of emotions at the same time. Now, it's a cornerstone of my work. In a Bach remedy consultation, for example, someone often needs a remedy for apathy in the same blend as one for over-enthusiasm, for example. It's a flip that many of us do - rushing eagerly at something only to collapse inwardly with disappointment when our expectations aren't met. Each emotion contains its polar opposite that's why the yin yang symbol has a dot of the opposite colour within it.
As one reader remarked recently we're all having to hold onto polarities at the moment. We may worry that our liberties are being removed but rejoice that nature is beginning to recover. We may have financial worries but be appreciating more quality time with those we love. We may be feeling isolated as well as experiencing the benefits of time to rest, meditate and reflect. We may be engulfed in fear yet touched by unexpected kindness from people we've never met or rarely have contact with.
That's why this time can feel like a rollercoaster ride. One minute you're loving the amazingly clear skies and beautiful birdsong no longer drowned out by traffic and the next you turn on the TV or radio and are hit by a barrage of depressing images and catastrophic narratives. Choosing what you focus on and what you're exposed to in terms of media and people is more important than ever.
The fact is we can only see the darkness of the social inequality, the unsustainable nature of the economy, the skewed priorities in education and the lack of compassion in our welfare system because the light has been turned up. We can see more darkness because more light is available to us.
So let's make the most of it. This month brings us one of the greatest portals of the year - the Wesak moon on May 7. It's a time when an extraordinary amount of light bathes the earth. Now is the time for all of us to anchor as much light as we can.
Below you'll find details of the Wesak full moon and other ways you can amplify your light. Let's keep shining and grounding it.

Postage Rise: essence prices have not gone up but the postage element now reflects the recent rise in postage rates.
Deliverability: If you want to order bottled essences please check your country's postal situation. In the meantime I'm sending first class or air mail as usual, but orders may take longer to arrive due to post office staffing levels.

Hathors - The Heart Portal Sound Meditation |
As some of you know, I have three Hathor Guides and I always share with you when sound healer Tom Kenyon brings through a new Hathor message, often accompanied by an encoded sound meditation.
For years the Hathors have been talking about the arrival of a time called the Chaotic Nodes. I'd hoped they were exaggerating but looking at the world now, it seems not.
You can see their most recent message and download the Heart Portal Sound Meditation that goes with it, on Tom's website. He recommends you listen to it with headphones or ear buds rather than via speakers, as this has the greatest impact and won't effect those around you or your pets, quite so much.
If you're sensitive you may find this meditation opens up doorways into other realms, so ensure you're grounded and set a pure and clear intention before you begin to listen - keep your focus in your heart. Once you've got used to it, there's also an extended version at the bottom of the page linked to below, if you'd like longer sessions.

Inspiration, Guidance & Meditations |
Many of you enjoyed the insightful essay Charles Eisenstein wrote about the virus and this time on the planet called The Coronation which I featured in April.
Here's the audio version to listen to at your leisure. It's currently available in English and German and they're adding new languages.
Charles appears in the film which features many spiritual leaders, indigenous elders and transformational thinkers, called Time of the Sixth Sun - well worth watching for a small investment of 3.96 GBP or 4.95 USD. It's available as a gift and has subtitles in 14 languages.
Wesak Meditation - Thursday May 7: Each year a powerful full moon marks the opening of a powerful light portal. It's an opportunity for us to meditate as one, creating a channel for the downpouring of divine energies. This has a profoundly purifying effect both on the individual meditating and on humanity as a whole. If you meditate on this month, please do so with the intention of anchoring light. Read more
HeartMath Institute has shown that our heart generates an electromagnetic field that's larger even than the one produced by our brain. Our heart's our balancing energy centre, where yin and yang, heaven and earth meet. It's where we process thoughts and emotions. The Earth also has an electromagnetic field around her body and the HeartMath Institute is working with the hypothesis that this links all living things.The more aligned we are with our heart the greater our capacity to find compassionate solutions to the problems facing us now.

20% Off Personal Attunements
This month's reader offer is a discount on personal attunements. These are a blend of five-seven flower and crystal essences brought through especially for you under Kuthumi's guidance.
Each has a message and insight for you and they all work together to increase the overall power of the bottle or transmission - however you choose to receive them.
If you'd like your own blend of vibrations from nature, there's 20% off standard attunements until May 30. Please note this does not apply to De Luxe Attunements.
‘These attunement essences really are helping, thanks so much, it really feels like support.’ Lisetta, Administrator, Gloucestershire
What's the difference between standard and de luxe attunements? A De Luxe Attunement includes an interpretation of the essence blend, your soul lesson, your totem animal, your guardian angel, a personal affirmation and suggested next steps. These are very time-consuming so they're rarely, if ever, reduced. If you've never had one before, however, you can use your introductory discount. Read more here

Self-Compassion - Reader Offers |
Are you wondering what on earth's going on? Whose advice should you follow?
Change is stressful and can show us both our darkest shadow as well as wonderful qualities we didn't know we had. We may respond by numbing out, sleeping, eating, web-surfing, exercising, cleaning or drinking excessively or we may step up to care for the vulnerable, achieve deeper intimacy in relationships, or finally take our own health, emotional fulfilment or environment in hand and make long-needed changes.
Most of us cycle constantly through the light and dark within us. In the morning we may tick all our self-imposed boxes, then fall apart in the afternoon or vice versa. It's all fine, we're human and we all deserve our compassion. Everyone's doing the best they can with the resources that they have and the particular challenges they face.
One shift that would help us all is to be able to see our situation from a higher, spiritual perspective and that's what Passion flower essence helps us do. It's named after Christ's passion, or suffering, as it's the perfect companion at a time when your faith is being deeply tested.
As you take it you're able to see the current situation as temporary and if you take it before sleep or meditation you'll be shown the higher purpose of this time. It's known to ease bad dreams and help you get a refreshing night's sleep. Emotionally it inspires compassion for yourself and others, as it stimulates a small chakra point on the foot where Christ was nailed to the cross.
Order passion flower essence on its own using the link below or you'll find it in the Feet Chakra blend
Reader offer: This issue I've negotiated 20% off for readers on Passion flower and the other essences and sprays below, which felt particularly helpful at this time:
-
Passion Flower essence - this opens the heart chakra and attunes you to Christ consciousness. As it's a single essence, it can be used alongside the spray or Bach remedies below.
-
Earth Connection spray - it's easy to become ungrounded during times of change. We can be triggered by fear and lose ourselves in our heads, imagining difficult futures or retreat into a rose-tinted past. Spray this blend to become fully embodied in the now - it's the only place where you can be effective and make your highest choices.
-
Bach Remedy Self Select Sets - I recommend Bach remedies for immediate help with any emotional release - including those you experience from using the essence blends. Bach remedies are superb for bringing you back to a calm state and can be blended using up to eight remedies at a time. If you've ever had a De Luxe Attunement, you'll see I often suggest a personal Bach blend to accompany it. This offer is a chance to get 20% off your own set of ten remedies, Just choose those you use most often. Shop 10 ml Bach Self Select Set or Shop 25ml Self Bach Select Set Self-select allows for one of each essence except revival remedy - you can choose two bottles of that, if you wish.
-
Revival Remedy - this is the go-to blend for fear, stress or anxiety, whether that's arising from external circumstances or because you're clearing with other essences or therapy. Take it as often as you need until you feel calm. It can be used alongside the essences above, as it's a blend of five Bach remedies - just take it 20 minutes apart from the sprays or blends above.
NB Sprays are available with no scent or with a delicate rose-water fragrance. They can be taken under the tongue as essences or used to mist a space or your own energy field.
Reader Offer:
This issue readers get 20% off each of the above sprays and essences. Simply use the following code at checkout: spirit2020 (it's not case-sensitive).You can also add other items to your basket.

This lovely video is a reminder that animals also have an instinct to help each other - even between species. Parrots appear to be 'feeders':)
If Parrot appears as your totem in your De Luxe Attunement it's a master of communication. It supports you in finding your own voice and in checking the quality and impact of your self-talk. Parrot reflects the energy of the sun and often indicates a need to bring more light and colour into your life.

Findhorn - inner climate change documentary & free resources |
If you care deeply about what's happening to Mother Earth - this film is for you:
Findhorn's international community hosted a global climate change summit last year that included 350 influential speakers, thinkers and activists such as Charles Eisenstein, Polly Higgins, Vandana Shiva, Jonathon Porritt and indigenous elders from 45 countries.
Film maker Lorenz Gramann took the opportunity to ask them about their personal experiences and responses to the climate emergency. The result is the film Inner Climate Change which they have just released to watch free of charge or by donation.
Free Resources: Findhorn has opened up its video library of previous events which you can watch free of charge or by donation. This includes an excellent workshop I attended called Guts and God led by Caroline Myss - highly recommended.

20% Off Filter Water Bottles ends May 15 |
|
Biogreen Filter bottles - 20% Off
Did you know that switching from single use 500 ml plastic bottles to a biodegradable Nikken bottle, saves 1,000 bottles from going into landfill every year? And it represents a major financial saving. A litre of largely unregulated bottled water costs an average of 65p - Nikken's pure alkaline bottled water costs 10p.
Commercial plastic bottles take between 450 -1,000 years to degrade. The patented Biogreen technology in a Nikken bottle means it doesn't simply degrade within 60 days, it actually nourishes the soil as it does so.
Not only that, but the upgraded nano filter means the tap water you put in comes out free from a whole range of contaminants, from heavy metals to micro-plastics
Filter Water Bottle Offer: Nikken's offering 20% off the filter water bottles from now until May 15.
The price on the website includes the discount. It is normally 42 GBP.
Spare Filter The bottle comes with a filter already but, given shipping costs, many customers like to order a spare filter twin-pack with their bottle. Filters need changing every 3 months of average use.
