Happy All Hallows-Eve! As you light your candles and eat your candy this year, keep in mind the true potency of this time: A time of welcoming in the new cycle of darkness, a time of magical connections to the other side, and a time to remember those who have passed before us. A time to send our love and gratitude to their souls to light their way back home.... Originating from the ancient Gaelic festival of Samhain (Summer’s End), the Celts believed that the normal laws of space and time were held in abeyance during this time, allowing a special window where the spirit world could intermingle with the living because the "veil between the worlds" is at its thinnest. The great burial mounds of Ireland were lit up with torches lining the walls, so the souls of the dead could find their way. Samhain was known by the Druids and ancient Celtic tribes as the "Lord of Darkness and with the hours of nighttime growing greater than the hours of sunlight, Lord Samhain would reign throughout the winter months as he roamed the earth in search of these souls to capture and take to his world of darkness. The use of pumpkins comes from Irish folklore, the Jack-o-lantern was used as a light for the lost soul of Jack, a notorious trickster, trapped between worlds after tricking the devil! Originally, in Ireland turnips were carved out and candles placed inside as lanterns lit to help guide Jack’s lost spirit back home. Hence the term: Jack-o-lanterns. Later, when Irish immigrants came to the new world, pumpkins were more readily available than turnips! The Celts divided the year in half, having just two seasons and November 1 was their New Year! This became Halloween when the Church took hold in Europe. Ancient Pagan rituals became festivals of the Church but they wouldn’t support it as a day to honour all the dead in general, only all those hallowed so it became All Hallow's Day/All Saints Day and Oct. 31 was All Hallows-eve Halloween! #originsofhalloween #celtic #pagan #irish #scottish #welsh #gaelic #roots #samhain #pronouncedsowin #celticnewyearseve #allhallowseve #halloween #irishincanada #traditionorsuperstition #anamcharaholistic

Give yourself a half hour on a Thursday eve, your mind and body will thank you! Also, Kerri is an amazing teacher/counsellor and one of my favorite people!

If you haven't got back to basics for a while, I highly recommend it! No internet, no TV, no radio, no "news", no masks, no hand sanitizer, no social distancing markers, no running water, and no fear....just a whole bunch of happy campers! Freedom lingers in the air, the calmness of the lake gives a feeling of space in the mind, and the only thing you're bombarded with is the beauty all around you! . #camping #tentcamping #backtobasics #breathefreely #justbe #beautifulbc #eastharrison #happycamper #dogmom #adventureswithmydog #lakelife #anamcharaholistic

Errrrry damn day! but you can still be a shining positive ball of loving energy/light/vibration AND be pissed at the injustices, insanity, and general messiness that surrounds you... We don't have to be one thing or the other, I feel like it's healthier to allow both the light and the dark to exist... We're whole beings! ... You can be a heavily meditated yogi and still enjoy watching 2 people kick the crap outta each other in UFC, You can be into natural remedies & plant based eating and still enjoy getting drunk with your mates and feeding your hangover with junk food, You can be non-judgemental of people and their choices and still spread awareness and be a voice for the voiceless, You can be a love n light, holistic therapy loving, reiki energy being and still love (and know almost every word to) gansgta rap songs There seems to be a misconception that if you're one thing you can't be the other pfffft feck that, most days I'm a lil bit of everything! #holisticmeanswhole #alittlebitofeverything #beyoutheworldwilladjust #thisisreallife #darkandlight #balance #heavilymeditated #yogi #holistictherapist #vegan #irish #human #aballofenergy #partoftheuniverse #anamcharaholistic #Repost @yogalifememes (@get_repost)
