On Being Spiritual

5 Aug 2014 12:00:00 | Author: Caryl | Full article...

 
  People often ask me to teach them how to be more spiritual.  I don't believe this is something that can be taught, it is more something that happens when you live your life as a sharing, caring and loving being to everyone and everything around you.  It happens when you are honouring yourself, others and the earth, and by showing no judgements or prejudices.  It happens with every breath and in every step we take - in everything we do! Being a spiritual being

My 3 Litre Water Challenge!

9 Jul 2014 12:00:00 | Author: Caryl | Full article...

 
Last month I read an article about a woman who drank 3 litres of water per day for 4 weeks and how much of a change it made to her life.  I realised how guilty I can be of not keeping myself fully hydrated during the day and thought I would give this a go for 4 weeks, to see if I notice any difference in myself. Whilst my own experience with this, wasn't quite as noticeable - or remarkable - as the woman in the article, I certainly did notice a vast difference in overall energy

Yin Yang Symbol

13 May 2014 18:00:00 | Author: Caryl | Full article...

 
  The Yin and Yang symbol represents a balanced interplay of pairs of essential, but opposing forces, each containing some component of its opposite. This generates a cyclical, eternal ebb and flow of the activities and qualities of each member of the pair.   Example of Yin and Yang pairings: push / pull hard / soft light / dark in / out up / down salty / sweet control / chaos loud / quiet white / black heavy / light give /

Did you know that the Gregorian calendar has a poem matching each month with its birthstone?  These poems were apparently published by "an unknown author" in 1870.     Gregorian Birthstone Poems   By her who in this month (January) is born No gem save garnets should be worn; They will ensure her constancy, True friendship, and fidelity.   The February-born shall find Sincerity and peace of mind, Freedom from passion and

We Are One

13 Sep 2013 10:00:00 | Author: Caryl | Full article...

 
  This may or may not upset some people, but it's something I need to say - to put "out there"! I am always reading articles, on the internet and in papers etc, about bettering the environment and/or people's health, etc etc etc.....  While I am definitely all for this, it really does bother me that most things I read begin with, "Countless numbers of Americans ....", or "Stress in America ....", "??% of Americans ....".

Industry or Me?

12 Jul 2013 19:00:00 | Author: Caryl | Full article...

 
The Thinking Man in my garden - where I like to do readings and attunements from! {© 2013 Caryl Haxworth}   Someone mentioned the word "industry" to me the other day, in relation to what I do.  It took me aback a bit, because I had never thought of what I do as being an industry.  In fact, "industry", makes me think about hard marketing, advertising and sales.  It makes me think about the push for more customers, clients, students etc,

The Energy of Words

1 Jul 2013 15:00:00 | Author: Caryl | Full article...

 
What words do you use when you have something to do, or think about, in the future?  You know, when something happens and you think, "Oh, I'll ????? about that in the morning / next week / when the time comes." Think about this, very carefully, because it is the very words and the power behind them that can change a great deal about the way you feel about that thing you are going to do, when the time comes to do it. Most people say, or think,

I Am Who I Am, Not Where I Live

18 Mar 2013 15:00:00 | Author: Caryl | Full article...

 
I was going through some old clothes, clearing out my wardrobe the other day.  It was lovely finding some favourites from when I lived in other countries.  It also got me thinking about how we so easily fall into the practice of wearing things that "fit in" with our whereabouts.  I used to joke about wearing a particular "uniform" whenever we moved, because of the different customs and/or weather conditions of the places we have lived, but now I realise that

Follow Your Instincts

21 Jan 2013 14:00:00 | Author: Caryl | Full article...

 
How often do you simply follow your instincts and have things work out for you? Last week I had to go and get my eyes examined.  I knew that my eyesight had been getting a little worse, so when the results showed that I needed to wear glasses for VERY long distances - e.g.: for driving etc - it didn't surprise me.  I also need to wear glasses for close-up too - e.g.: when I am jewellery making and for those times when I want to read labels! Well, at the time of my eye exam,

The Friendship Cake

1 Jan 2013 14:00:00 | Author: Caryl | Full article...

 
Those who know me well, know that I really enjoy cooking - especially baking.  On Boxing Day, last week, my sister-in-law introduced me to "Herman the German", a friendship cake that basically starts off as a sourdough starter mix, accompanied by instructions on how to look after it.  I took my sourdough mix home and happily followed the instructions which required stirring a few times, feeding a couple of times, stirring again, then splitting and baking. Yesterday, I
