The Journey

Life can lead you to the most amazing places. Follow your dreams. Shine your heart.

Listen to that intuition within. It will show you the way; I promise.

June was the most incredible month of my life.

I met people filled with true Grace. People like that are very rare.

This is a picture of me taken a few weeks ago in the Blue Ridge Mountains.
If you are ever given the opportunity to see those mountains, go.
I was told they are the oldest mountains in the world.

Never forget you are loved.

Love love,

A Daily Sacred Mantra

The Gayatri Mantra is said to be the most sacred of all mantras.

It calls in a protection resonance around you, a sacred healing.

The Words:

Om Bhur Buvaha Suvaha,

Thath Savithur Varenyam,

Bhargo Devasya Dheemahi,

Dhiyo Yonaha Prachodayath

The mantra says:

We contemplate the glory of Light illuminating the three worlds: gross, subtle, and causal.

I am that vivifying power, love, radiant illumination, and divine grace of universal intelligence.

We pray for the divine light to illumine our minds.

The feeling from it is so amazing; I say this mantra many times a day in reverence of this amazing journey.

Love love,

Elecia

Outside My Window

Here's a picture I took today of the double rainbow that appeared right outside my window.

The moment was so fleeting, I wanted it to last so much longer. It was incredibly beautiful.

Okay, I can't help it...in the spirit of this occasion, I have to post this video:

Double Rainbow

More Healing Goodness

Another staple ingredient I use in all my herbal salves along with Calendula is Comfrey.

The leaves are used in salve making and they have amazing healing benefits. Staph infections for instance, which are caused by Staphylococcal bacteria, are quickly killed by simply applying Comfrey salve to the infected area. Open wounds heal extremely fast - usually within 24 hours or less- and usually leave no scars behind as well. Broken bones are known to heal faster when Comfrey is applied to the outside of the affected area, and torn ligaments and tendons also heal quite quickly when a Comfrey salve is applied externally. Not only does Comfrey start the healing process quite fast, it also helps relieve pain as soon as it comes in contact with the injured area. It's also excellent for bringing down swelling and reducing inflammation.

Comfrey also heals hard-to-heal wounds such as bites from brown recluse spiders, diabetic ulcers, and bedsores.

Plants have awesome powers; they never cease to amaze me.
