Happy Yule! (Yule is midwinter Solstice). Officially Yule is on the 21st June but can be celebrated on any day in June.

What a time to be alive!
As the longest night of the year, Yule is the birth of the ‘sun child’. This begins to make a whole lotta sense then you recall that from this time of the year, the sun’s light begins to strengthen day on day, until the mid summer solstice, the peak of the summer sun.
My family has a dinner planned this year. I’ve already made the baked pumpkin cheesecake for dessert, it being kept frosty until morning of the celebratory dinner. Seasonal foods to be roasted, leafy greens collected, balancing out the cooked food with some raw. Food, laughter and the obligatory teasing of siblings will all be part of the experience. And for those of our family who choose to, a toast and a nod of thanks to the nature spirits (elementals) that nourish and support the seasonal shifts. A family’s shared evening of understanding that there is more to living than just the advertised trudge and toil of so called modern life.
Live big, everyone :-)
Ko au te whenua, ko te whenua, ko au – I am the land and the land is me.

Hokitika Holiday: part 3. Lessons remembered.

Despite my work clearing the land, more was required though this time it was within the mine shaft. I located another individual but they were unable to move from the land. A sign of another layer to be addressed first. Casting my awareness around, I found myself unable to properly focus on an area above and to the right of the tunnel entrance. Ah an attachment of some sort, formed and entrenched by the murky energy of the miners' activities. Once it was identified, a portal opened. I felt a subtle movement and was suddenly able to ‘see’ the tunnel roof clearly, like an unclogged drain, this area was now clear.
Again I felt prompted to move on, this time toward the end of the Wood Creek Walk.
The presence of miners again lingered in the area, but this energy was different. I was unable to move it in the same way as before. I felt a distinct nudge prompting me to broaden my awareness and connect with the overall feeling of Wood Creek. As soon as I did, I found it. Greed and hope. These emotions had become woven into the energetic imprint of the place. Unlike what I had encountered earlier, this was not a specific presence. It was residue, left behind by countless dreams of fortune and the disappointments that followed. This residue I removed at once.
Throughout this entire experience I was increasingly aware that the elemental forces of the forest wished the entire walk to be closed and forgotten. Even now, as I write this, I can feel that sentiment strongly. I have mediated with them and offered another perspective. This place is also part of human history. It stands as a legacy of human folly, a reminder of lessons learned. Such lessons deserve to be remembered rather than erased.
The forest has not yet decided. It is sort of considering my suggestion in its own time. My part however is completed.

Part 2 (of 3). Hokitika holiday - skulduggery from the past..

The forest at Woods Creek Walkway kept popping into my mind during the weeks after we returned from our Hokitika holiday. At times, the forest carried an almost considering feeling, as though it were assessing something. By the second week, I was becoming irritated by the forest constantly popping up in my mind unbidden. I finally gave in and tuned in properly as another unprompted thought from the forest entered my mind during a meditation.
Yes, I was right. As I suspected, I was being asked to do my healing thing by clearing the Woods Creek forest of miner's leftovers. Having been asked to complete land healing on previous occasions, I chided myself for my earlier irritation, a healer works with more than just two-legged folk. So here I found myself once again walking the track, albeit this time mentally, following the memory of the Woods Creek walkway from its beginning.
Almost immediately, as I reached the water race near the start of the track, I felt a heaviness. I knew intuitively that a miner had died here. In that moment I also became aware of a faint group of representatives in that area. By showing themselves, this indicated that my decision to help had been noted but that I would receive no assistance. This was human cleaning up human muck and no heavy lifting assistance was going to be offered. I focused on the water race and again I could sense a man who had died there. I could feel the rush of floodwater moving over him while he struggled, unable to free himself. He had already been weakened and either fell or lacked the strength to pull himself out. I also sensed the callous disregard of miner/s upstream. WorkSafe would have had a field day. Jealousy, frustration and anger lingered in the area, left lingering by the men who had worked there. The energetically ‘stuck’ lost miner was helped through into the light.
My intuition now directed me further along the track, about halfway up the walk. There was another man to clear, more emotions embedded within the land that needed balancing. This man had been pushed or at least nudged on his disastrous path. I saw him hanging from a cliff edge deep within the bush. He had held on for a time. His arms were strong, but his grip had mostly found only lush forest soil, and his assailant uncaring. The forest showed me the land memory with indifference too. Damage had been done, and some nature spirits care little for the affairs of men beyond the messes they had left behind, leaving scars on the land.

Happy (southern hemisphere) Halloween!

Traditionally known as Samhain, this marks the Celtic New Year—a time when the doorway between the living and the dead is open, inviting us to pause and remember those who came before us. Across many ancient cultures death was honored as an essential part of renewal and continuity. This cycle of ending and becoming is woven into the human experience, beyond any single belief system or religion.

To reflect with only fear or sadness is to miss Samhain's deeper meaning. Instead, breathe deeply, reflect with intention, and embrace your place within this vast, ever-turning cycle of existence.

Land ho - Sensitives on a Hokitika holiday

This week I spent a few days in Hokitika, enjoying the autumnal delights of the west coast. Desiring to walk off lunchtime indulgence from sampling local cuisine, we ventured into the west coast rain forest at Woods Creek Walk. Years ago, before I became as sensitive to environments as I am now, I used to adore the feel of west coast forest. The expansive calmness of the raw forest energy was nearly intoxicating to the fledgling Sensitive I was back then. So, on the recommendations of a randomly discovered tourist’s blog of Hokitika, we drove into the bush down a long gravel road away from civilization and cell phone coverage. Halfway on the long drive to the walk, I felt a ‘ping’ in my mind, an acknowledgment from the land. Our intention of our impending visit was clear, no venturing off trail was intended and only a walk was desired - no work. The ‘ping’ on my consciousness were the representatives of the land acknowledging our presence (like a permission but also not), a politeness between the two parties meeting informally.
Woods Creek walk was a revelation to heightened senses. The site of gold miners in the in the late 1800’s, the miners had left their mark with a deep tail race, steep cliffs and tunnels. 100 years or so later the forest had firmly claimed the area back and only a clearly dedicated local Department of Conservation worker had kept the trail clear enough. ‘Virgin forest’ was to our left according to the information signage. Moss and ferns covered the many rocky cliffs, the forest floor was damp though no rain had fallen for days. Birdsong sounded muted and the air was heavy, the feeling of fresh human intrusion and noise seemed to linger only briefly in our wake. My senses were pinging as not all around us felt friendly, and at times foreign even to my experienced senses, but we would not be hindered in our passing. The land had acknowledged our presence and felt our appreciation of the surroundings knowing we had no wish to interfere in our passing through. (It’s these moments that makes me understand a few of the reasons mankind mostly has turned its back to working with land. Humankind’s need to dominate the environment gets challenging when the land has opinions and doesn’t always agree).
Coming out from the deeper forest and certain elements of nature were more receptive, helpful even. My attention directed to an ideal boulder for a parent to rest, hidden tree roots highlighted on the trail etc. Cooperation with the land is how we humans will thrive. Acknowledge the land, see & feel its beauty, the benefit of seasonal changes and you will benefit from this deeper connection. The land is connecting to us constantly. It’s humans who have severed and refused to heal the connection.
