Some soul journeys take you across the world... and Bhutan isn't just seen — it is felt.

There, perched between the earth and the sky at over 3100m above sea level, Paro Taktshang is more than a destination—it's a reminder that the most extraordinary places require us to rise to meet them.

Hiking to Paro Taktshang felt like travelling inward. Step by step, breath by breath, the trail (to the more commonly known as 'Tiger's Nest') reveals a truth Bhutan knows well: the greatest heights are reached with humility.

What I've experienced thanks to Bhutan is that mountains quiet the mind; and at Paro Taktshang, they open the soul.

"How do you measure something as delicate as joy? How do you count smiles, weigh peace of mind, or chart the curve of a meaningful life?
Most countries wouldn't even try. But Bhutan did. And in doing so, it offered the world a daring question: What if our success was measured not by wealth - but by well-being?" Gross National Happiness - Bhutan's Gift to the World

I'm currently on a pilgrimage in Druk Yul (Land of the Thunder Dragon). It's such a heartfilled place and I'm loving every moment - even when the ground vibrated last night...

I've run head first into a 3 week holiday... phew!
It's been a busy time with loads of travel for my new job & one of the benefits is audio book consumption! This one by Martha has been a highlight & I'd love your recommendations to add to my list! TIA xo

THE ORACLE:
Pine Spirit ~ Purification

A soft layer of snow has shrouded the pines of the sacred forest. You can sense the formidable life force surging through each tree, even in the deepest winter. As you brush up against a branch, the snow is dislodged and softly falls to the floor. With simply the lightest touch of the pine needles, you can feel your entire energy field being purified.

Your energy field is being cleansed of all that it doesn’t need. Traditionally, pine branches have been used in cleansing ceremonies because ancient people revered their purifying qualities. Use this opportunity to release what doesn’t serve, support or empower you. Let go of anything that feels dull and murky in your life. Cleanse your body and environment by cleaning, decluttering and space cleaning. When your auric field is cluttered and energy is dingy, you cant see the world clearly and will have trouble hearing the messages from Spirit.

Let go of the old, discarded, and unused. Take time for a total purification. You’ll feel brighter and also be a clearer channel for the light. The brilliance that pours throughout your life and also help many people… but first the path has to be made clear.

THE OIL:
Thieves ~ see your own untarnished essence

Thieves essential oil blend was inspired by the legend of four fifteenth-century thieves in France who formulated an aromatic blend composed of cloves, rosemary, and other botanicals who rubbed the oils on themselves to avoid contracting the plague while they robbed the bodies of the dead and dying. When captured, they were offered a lesser sentence in exchange for their secret recipe.

Young Living’s one-of-a-kind blend is formulated with pure clove, cinnamon bark, rosemary, lemon, and eucalyptus (E. radiata) essential oils which means it is highly antiviral, antiseptic, antibacterial, and anti-infectious. Not only great for cleaning and purifying properties, but it also boosts immune system, promotes oral health and offers respiratory protection.

With its uplifting and grounding aroma promoting a sense of well-being, whether you're diffusing it for relaxation or incorporating it into your wellness routine, it can help you feel more balanced and prepared for the day ahead. A must have for the winter season.

THE ORACLE:
The Pendulum ~ Patterns, Karma, Conscience

Stop making bargins with life, with yourself, with the divine, and let the pattern unfold and the rhythm emerge. What once was will be. What will be, will be. It has been said that the arc of the universe is long and bends towards justice. Root yourself in an ethic of care. Trust that as the pendulum swings, it will eventually return to partnership, cooperation, and love.

You know you can trust yourself to do what is right. You know you can trust your own conscience and the rhythm of your own heart.

The rune of karma, of patterns, both old and emerging, the pendulum is also about justice and ethics. So trust your insight, trust your ability to navigate the patterns of your life and the world around you. Make ethical decisions rooted in a strong conscience. Let the fates and the muses collaborate to decide.

Feel yourself planted on the earth and ask yourself - what do I know to be true?

Pay attention. She’s talking to you. Are you listening?

THE OIL:
Sacred Frankinsence ~ deepens spiritual connection

Gathered from the distillation of the resin of the Boswellia sacra frankincense tree, this oil is ideal for those who wish to take their spiritual journey and meditation experiences to a higher level. It grows and is distilled in Oman and is regarded the world over as the rarest.

With a rich, earthy aroma which creates a grounding and calming impression, allow it to support you during yoga, meditation, prayer or mindfulness practices to deepen your experience and feel a connection to ancient traditions.

Also valued for its physical benefits such as anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties, which may help reduce symptoms of arthritis, joint pain, and muscle discomfort when used topically or as a supplement. It also supports immune and respiratory health, potentially easing asthma symptoms and promoting overall wellness when diffused or applied in diluted form. Some studies suggest it may have anticancer properties, though more research is needed to confirm these effects.

Diffusing the oil or inhaling its scent may promote mental clarity, emotional balance, and stress reduction, supporting relaxation and focus. It is also used in journaling rituals and daily grounding routines to enhance emotional wellness.

Historically, frankincense has been used in spiritual ceremonies for thousands of years. Burning the resin or using it as incense is believed to purify spaces, clear negative energy, and elevate spiritual awareness. Its smoke is considered a powerful tool for meditation, prayer, and connecting with higher consciousness.

DID YOU KNOW… The swinging resin burner, also known as a thurible, is a metal incense burner suspended from chains, used in Christian churches during worship services. The motion of the thurible is more significant than the smoke itself, as it symbolizes the movement of divine grace through space, blessing congregants, altars, relics, and even the Gospel book before proclamation.

Wishing all you beautiful, phenomenal priestess women Happy Mother's Day - regardless of our reproductive status, we all nurture and encourage the development of a "We" society.

And I couldn't have planned two better guiding energies for today's wisdom!

THE ORACLE:
The Moon ~ a reminder of balance
The moon spends equal time in darkness as it does in the light. A steady progression through the faces and back again. Offering us the certainty that after periods of emptiness and darkness, there is a light waiting as we birth into a new phase.

Have you been too focused on outer achievements, productivity, or social engagements? Or have you spent too much time hidden from the outer world, not wanting to interact or show your face? Let the moon’s cycle gently guide you out of your bottomless depths. Head back to the world of outer expression and connection. Let it help you make time for yourself, your feelings, and your essential human and spiritual needs.

Go on a journey of renewal just like the moon - get unstuck. For this you need to make time to be with yourself without distraction and have the courage to look at the unwanted or unembraced parts of your being until you arrive at a place of resolution.

In honour of the moon: May our lives be renewed as yours is.

THE OIL:
Gathering ~ connection, healing, and feminine empowerment

Gathering essential oil symbolizes the intentional collection of healing energies, emotional balance, and spiritual support from nature. Each plant carries its own vibrational essence— for peace and purification, for spiritual awareness, for clarity and vitality, for love and compassion.

Gatherings create a sacred space where people can share wisdom, nurture one another, and reconnect with their intuition and inner strength. Essential oils are often used to enhance the energetic atmosphere, with each scent symbolizing qualities like grounding, self-love, emotional healing, creativity, and spiritual awakening. Metaphysically, the gathering represents unity and collective energy—a circle of support where people can release stress, set intentions, and embrace personal growth while honoring the natural rhythms of mind, body, and spirit.

THE ORACLE:
2 of Cups ~ energetic harmony of two-ness

The Two of Cups encourages honest communication, emotional openness, and nurturing of meaningful connections. It reminds you that relationships thrive when both parties are willing to give and receive equally, fostering mutual respect, trust, and shared growth.

Whether in love, friendship, or professional settings, this card signals the potential for deep, balanced, and fulfilling partnerships.

Questions for the Seer
• Are you open to making new soul connections?
• People often say “When I find love I will be happy.” (Or... when I have a house, I will be happy.... when I have that job, I will be happy...etc.) Please remember that when you are happy, you will attract all of those things into your life. Said in another way: Are you waiting on external things to feel fulfilled and whole?

MANTRA - I thrive in partnerships and I revel in this sacred magic of connection.

THE OIL:
Joy ~ feeling great pleasure and happiness

Known for its uplifting and mood-enhancing properties, promoting emotional balance, happiness, and overall well-being, Joy being dumped into the atmosphere would be extremely beneficial for earth and her inhabitants at this time. It possesses calming properties which help promote relaxing calmness, and reduce feelings of anxiety and stress.

Joy essential oil also offers physical benefits with antiseptic and anti-inflammatory qualities, which can help soothe muscle tension and promote relaxation. And with its alluring scent enhancing feelings of love and connection, this is a go-to perfume when you want to get your sexy on.

"The joy of life consists in the exercise of one's energies, continuous and dauntless; in one’s extended observation of the world, in one’s exploration of the world, in one’s search for the truth." Thomas Wolfe

Looks like it's time to communicate with the trees today!

🫶🙏💫🪄

THE ORACLE:
Willow Spirit ~ flexibility

At the edge of the forest pond grows a large willow. Her branches dip lightly into the waters. As the wind rises, her elegant boughs sway to and fro like a mystic dancer.

Like the tree, be willing to bend, flex and even to yield. There is power in doing this as a choice, rather than as a forfeit of your will. Even though there are times to stand strong, sometimes the greater valor is to go around a situation, rather than face it head-on. By being adaptable you can succeed, whereas someone who is more rigid may not.

In rough winds, a strong oak may break, while the willow can bend without snapping. Adjust to life rather than fight it. Surrender to the process. As the willow can weather storms, so you too can weather life challenges.

Be flexible in your life. Be willing to bend, rather than break. Be amenable to change, and you will flourish in wondrous ways.

THE OIL:
Hinoki ~ ‘tree of the sun’

Hinoki (Japanese cypress) essential oil’s scent brings about feelings of peace and tranquillity and is deeply rooted in Japanese culture and spirituality, symbolizing the presence of divine spirits (kami) within nature. Hinoki is revered in Shinto rituals for its ability to purify spaces and create a serene atmosphere for worship. With a long history as one of the ‘five sacred trees of Kiso’, its aroma blends between the familiar, woody smells of evergreen trees and a bright burst of citrus fruits.

Termed the ‘fire tree’ is a reference to a historical practice, as its wood was traditionally used to create fire by friction in Shinto religious ceremonies. As you begin incorporating Hinoki into your wellness routine, remember that you’re participating in a living tradition that spans over thirteen centuries. Each drop carries within it the essence of sacred groves, the wisdom of traditional Japanese medicine.

Hinoki demonstrates remarkable versatility (and a gentle nod and wink to the flexibility oracle it’s supporting here today) — it’s gentle enough for sensitive skin yet potent enough to inhibit antibiotic-resistant bacteria, calming enough to reduce anxiety and stress markers yet supportive enough to enhance cognitive function and memory.

In our increasingly disconnected world, this sacred oil serves as a bridge — connecting us to the healing wisdom of ancient forests and a range of benefits for modern health challenges. Hinoki works more intelligently than manmade antibiotics — it disrupts bacterial communication systems, prevents biofilm formation, and actually turns off the genetic switches that make bacteria virulent. This reminds us that some of nature’s most powerful medicines have been growing quietly in forests for millennia, waiting for us to rediscover their gifts.

Start slowly, listen to your body, and allow the gentle power of this sacred tree to work its ancient magic in your modern life. In a world that often feels chaotic and overwhelming, Hinoki offers something increasingly rare — the profound peace and healing power of the forest, available in your own home, one sacred drop at a time.

I've just completed another training, and it's intriguing how the paths open up when you follow the breadcrumbs.

A death doula/midwife, is a person who assists in the dying process, much like a midwife or doula does with the birthing process.

Sometimes known as an end-of-life doula, it's a non-medical accompaniment to health care or hospice care, providing the dying and their family with support, guidance and companionship as they move from diagnosis and end of life care, through to death. Focused on holistic emotional, physical, and spiritual support to the individual and their families before, during, and after death.

They don't compete with Palliative Care, but we all know how limited healthcare services are with the available time they can spend with patients. So the doula has more capacity to fill this gap.

As the one constant, doulas act as guides and advocates, helping with care planning, legacy projects, and creating a peaceful, personalized environment, ensuring dignity in the final stages of life.

I envision many life stages needing support - think of a doula not only for birth and death, but also the transitions of divorce, career paths, empty nesters, menopause etc...

As a nurse, I've participated in the VAD process now offered in every state in Australia (NT are not quite there yet). But I love the non-medical focus of doula support, although I realise my nursing knowledge gives me a good foundation to help others navigate this natural and normal part of the human experience.
