Living Lighter Alternative Healing

"What stories would we tell if we considered our purpose to be neither destroying nor saving the world but learning to live more beautifully in the world that we have?" - Geoff Mead

Amanda Moser is an intuitive life coach based in Moose Jaw. She periodically does these free sessions where you can submit a question. I'm sharing this one because she includes a message for everyone near the end, beginning around the 43-minute mark. It's a beautiful message and something I think everyone needs to hear, particularly now as Covid ramps up again. Please do give it a listen. It's less than 15 minutes and is totally worth the time.

A message from Southland Safeway. How can you bring a bit of happiness into someone’s life these days? It often doesn’t take much... a phone call, a card in the mail, a little surprise gift on the doorstep. You never know when your small action will make a huge difference

If you are an artist - either an established one or an aspiring one - you may want to check out art.bundlesforgood.com. Once a year they put together a huge bundle of online classes from a variety of artists. There are 75 classes in this year's bundle, and the price is $97 USD which is an amazing value. Even in Canadian dollars it's less than $2 per class. They also donate 25% of the proceeds to charity. This year's charity is Courageous Kitchen, a group helping refugees in Thailand. Sale ends tonight though, so sign up today if it's something you're interested in! And no, I am not getting a commission for this - it's just something I believe is a win-win for everybody

Hello everyone. I know I've been terribly quiet for months. Like many people I've been adjusting - and readjusting, as things change - to this new normal. I have to say, despite the challenges lockdown has also had its advantages: I have spent a lot of time reading and meditating and searching for whatever it is I'm meant to be doing. I believe I have a purpose I'm not yet fulfilling. I do think that healing is a part of it, and yes I'm still doing sessions, but I've been fee...ling for a long time that there's still something missing. All the advice says to "follow what lights you up", but it's been a struggle for me to figure out exactly what that is. Partly, I think, because I like so many things. How do you choose one over another? I won't bore you with the entire story, because it's longer than it should be (guess I'm a slow learner ), but it's become clear to me that all my favorite things have one element in common: beauty. And not just visual beauty, but all the things that a human can enjoy with any one or more of their senses: a delicious meal; a warm, handmade blanket; a summer breeze on your skin; the smell of rain. And so, in order to follow what lights me up, I'm now going to be posting regularly about all the beautiful things I discover as I move through my life. I don't know where this will lead, but that's alright. I'll figure it out as I go. I hope you'll all stick around for the journey
