a journey of self discovery. You just never know what we might see. Is that a fairy ring under that rowan tree? Look! - a hedgewitch, I wonder what she is brewing in her cauldron today. Oh, and look at that poor menopausal soul, she needs our love & understanding. We may take a stop at the creativity school or a wander through the garden. And maybe, we will take the time machine back to the past! But wherever we go, we will always take time to stop for tea.

TRUE BALANCE ~ warning! ~ my base chakra stuff

oh lord! my base chakra is definately unbalanced or not spinning as it should. And it is no wonder that it is totally out of whack, - I do alot of work on my chakras - but I didn't realize that my childhood stuff was connected to this chakra. I need to work on that.
I could go into major detail here, but I won't. It is too hard for me. And like I said, I don't want my blog to become a Mummy dearest because in the main, my childhood was wonderful. We had great family picnics & all the other normal family stuff.
and I wouldn't change a thing, as it has all made me who I am today.
But let's just say - that as a little girl, I had a great fear of being alone, being abandoned. My family foundation wasn't strong. Don't get me wrong - as I said, my childhood was mostly wonderful and so were my parents - they did the best they knew how. But they use to leave us alone, often. at night. I can remember from about age 10 - I would sit out on the front step and cry til they came home. To this day, I do not know what I was afraid of - but as soon as it got dark - I would have to go outside. Past life stuff? who knows.
My dad also drank alot and in my early childhood he was very violent - not towards us kids, but to mum. In his later life he became a tea-totaller and was so sad for what he put us through when we were young.
I also found out that the base chakra governs the immune system and that has made me wonder if my immune system was depleted due to the chakra being unbalanced - my cancer was an immune deficient cancer. If you worry alot about life - your base chakra becomes unbalanced. And I wonder if my strong desire to find 'my roots' of my ancestors is because my base chakra is unbalanced. Lots of thoughts - I write all in my journal, kind of purging my soul.
However blogging has helped me to become alot more grounded & balanced and I think I am finally getting the base chakra to how it is meant to be.
Sometimes if I feel unbalanced - then I go outside and plunge my hands into the dirt or othertimes I just carry a grounding stone around with me. Even wearing a pair of red undies can help! And I am going to start having a pedicure and have my toe nails painted red!
crystals, herbs and essential oils that correspond to the base chakra can help to balance as well :
Gemstones: Agate, Bloodstone, Hematite, Red Coral, Red Garnet, Ruby, Black Obsidian, Black Tourmaline and Black Tourmaline in Clear Quartz
Herbs: Cedar, Clove, Pepper, Vetiver
Essential Oils: Myrrh, Patchouli, Rosewood, Thyme, Vetiver

Hope Sophie and you are doing better; still thinking of you.

Miss Robyn, you will be amazed how a regular manicure and pedicure can make you feel wonderful. Do it as often as you can.

On another subject, I read you were looking for the long neck girl. She is on Violette's blog. Scroll back a couple of days and you will find her outline.

Peace to your soul sweetie.

Hi miss*R
There's a lot of energy in this post, and I really like the red font. How instructive for me to go back to the base chakra with you. It's all very new to me.

Red undies and a pedicure. Wonderful.

The childhood trauma sounds horrific. I can understand how you carried it into your adult life.

This is really interesting. Funny how it's all connected, yet different for each of us.

It's funny. I see you as grounded. When I think of you, I think of a person who knows who she is and is willing to risk a lot to stand up for it. Your abandonment issues from childhood remind me of your bereavement at the loss of friends when you revealed that you're a witch. (by the way, did I ever tell you that Tim calls me HedgeBitch now?) hehehe You're the Hedge Witch and I'm the..well..other. This was something that tumbled out of his teasing me about reading True Balance..he likes to hold crosses up to me to see if I melt and stuff. I know..he's nuts..guess that's why I'm with him. lol

Anyway, i was all serious..what happened? Oh well..this is going to be an interesting ride. I'm so happy that you are reading this book and that I get to witness it. I just love ya woman.

Everything we experience in our lives goes toward making us the person we are. You are a better parent because of what your childhood was like.
We are all works in progress.
Red undies, red toenails...hmmmm?
This sounds like a whole 'nother Robyn !!

If you lived closer to mum and I we would treat you to that pedicure! And I could balance your chakras for you with crystals.
I will send you another axiatonal now, you are due anyways.
Every 4 weeks or so we need them! It is time for yours. It is on it's way...

By the way...drink lots of water.
Go into the "third person" to heal memories that may come up.
