Animal Totem of the Month
~ Hummingbird ~
Joy, Infinity, Taking in the Sweetness of Life, Persistence in the Pursuit of your Dreams

It is not commonly known that the fluttering wings of the hummingbird move in the pattern of an infinity symbol - further solidifying their symbolism of eternity, continuity, and infinity.

By observing the Hummingbird, we see they are seemingly tireless. Always actively seeking the sweetest nectar, they remind us to forever seek out the good in life and the beauty in each day.

Amazing migrators, some Hummingbirds are known to wing their way as far as 2000 miles to reach their destination. This quality reminds us to be persistent in the persuit of our dreams, and adopt the tenacity of the Hummingbird in our lives.

The most profound questions the Hummingbird asks is:

• 
  
   "Where is your joy?"
• 
  
  "Is your happiness found within, or do you seek it externally?"
• 
  
  "What is the source of your joy?"
• 
  
  "What must you do to increase your joy?"
  

Sorrow and worry have no place in your life today, as Hummingbird's message is one of absolute joy. Hummer's darting movements, flashes of brilliant reds and greens, and unmistakable whirr are all guaranteed to bring a smile to the face of even the most dour among us. If live has been difficult of late, know that joy is whirring your way.

Hummingbird – the tiniest of all birds – brings special messages to us. It is the only creature that can stop dead while traveling at full speed. It can hover, or can go forward, backward, up or down. It lives on nectar and searches for the sweetness of life. Its long tongue lets it bypass the often tough and bitter outer layer to find the hidden treasures underneath. Hummingbird is loved by the flowers and plants, for as it sucks the nectar from the flower, the plant reproduces and more of its’ kind are created. In many traditions, Hummingbird feathers have been prized for their almost magical qualities. It is said that Hummingbird brings love as no other medicine can, and its presence brings joy to the observer.

Hummingbird medicine teaches you adapt easily to whatever situation you may find yourself in, and make the most of your new circumstances. Don’t waste time looking back and wishing for “what was” for you are concerned with making the most of “what is.” Hummingbird can help you with addictions to any artificial stimulants, as she helps you find joy in your own heart. She can also teach us to take pleasure in spreading joy and love and beauty to all around us,  and take that inner joy into new and different surroundings.

She also teaches us to find the good in people, and not be put off by a gruff or abrupt exterior. It’s about learning to get beyond that tough outside layer, and finding goodness and beauty inside.

Those who have Hummingbird as totem (or those who she has crossed paths with) may have a gift for working with flowers, maybe growing them to share with others, or using flower essences for healing. Aromatherapy may be your calling. You can also think about adopting these therapies into your own healing process.

Hummingbird medicine is about letting go of the things that weigh you do to bring in high energy so your spirit can be free. To restrict that wonderful, free, loving energy is to suffer great depressions and feelings of uselessness. Hummingbird must fly free in search of beauty, spreading joy and love to all it touches.

Thanks for visiting us at the Body, Soul and Spirit Expo!

It was another great spring run of shows, thanks to everyone who came out to the show and visited our booth. Danard and I were kept really busy, particularly me with doing a ton of Angel readings. Wow, I was rather blown away at the pace, I was barely able to keep up. Had to leave the booth to get a break!

All those who expressed interest in signing up for any of our upcoming workshops, here's an update. The next level 1 class in Calgary is filling up really fast. To get your space booked, better get signed up soon, or you'll miss the boat. The next Calgary level 1 won't be until September, unless some time opens up in July. The AngelSong class scheduled for June is starting to get full, so get your registration in soon as well.

Danard and I were also interviewed live on Global TV on Saturday morning for the Calgary show. Hopefully lots of you saw the show. If anyone happened to record that, I'd love to get a copy of it for posterity. It was way cool to be asked to be showcased on  Global, and I wasn't as nervous as I thought I would be!

I'll posting some photos soon from the show that a friend of ours took, as soon as I get copies of those, so stay tuned.

Anyone interested in hosting / organizing any courses, remember that if you sign up 6 other students (besides yourself) you get your tuition for free.

Angel of the Month

This month, I've drawn a card from Doreen Virtue's, Messages from the Angels Oracle deck. 

 

"Spend time alone in nature, meditating about your desires and intentions. Ask the angels to help you gain a positive perspective."

Additional Message: Your life has been noisy lately, and you need to escape into a place of natural tranquility. It is time for you to be alone in nature, even if it is for just a brief while. You don't need others' permission to take care of your soul in this way. Simply plan your sojourn, and then follow through on those plans.

Once you are alone in nature, allow your mind to wander wherever it wants to go. Notice your thoughts and feelings, and perhaps write them down. After a time, speak (aloud or silently) to the nature angels that surround you. Ask them to clear your body and aura of any stress that you may have absorbed. Then, meditate and pray about your desires and intentions. Prayers are amplified by the power of nature, and you will feel very refreshed when you return home.

Stay Tuned for Some Wee Changes in the Format of our Classes

After the last few classes that we held, it's come quite apparent that adding some extra time to the courses is very much needed. For the past 2 years, we've been teaching the level 2 and Advanced Reiki courses each as a 1 day course. The level 1 has just been a 2 day (Sat/Sun) course. And for that time, that was working quite nicely, but I've noticed that there have been more novices into energy work taking the courses these days.

The format that we've had so far was working because the folks that came to our classes were more advanced in energy healing and we were able to get through the material very quickly. This doesn't work quite as well when teaching novices. Therefore, we have decided to go back to a 2 day format for level 2 Reiki course. We will also be adding a Friday evening for the level 1 course, which will double as an intro for those who are interested, but not sure if Reiki is for them. The Advanced Reiki class will also be spread out into a 2 day format for the same reason. And finally, the Master Practitioner class (now a 2 day, Sat/Sun format) will have an additional Friday evening added, for the same reasons as the for the level 1.

After teaching a newly revise and much more in-depth AngelSong Intensive workshop in February, I've also realized that there's a LOT of info to cover, requiring the addition of a Friday evening as well. And as with the other courses that will have the same format, the Friday will be set up as an intro.

In the next few days, I will be updating the course schedules listed in our events page to reflect these changes. So, if you have been thinking about taking any of our courses, check to the website, and here for these updates. For the time being, the tuition fees will remain the same as they are now.

The only change will be that for the classes that will have the Friday night "intro", there will be a $44 tuition fee for that evening. Should anyone decide to take the whole weekend at that point, the $44 will be applied to full tuition fee for that course.

Stay Tuned!

Love, Light & Blessings,

Candice

Angel of the Month ~ Archangel Michael

Most, if not all of us, have been feeling the weight of the massive amount of transformation that has been taking place on Earth at this time.

From earth changes, resulting in devastation, to the global economy, to politics and the ecosystem, to our own inner jouries. It seems as though "All hell is breaking loose", and in some ways, it is.

Change and growth is not always an easy thing, and no one on this planet, including the planet herself. This means that we are all experiencing great transformation simultaneously. I keep being told by the Angel that the level of change that we are facing at this time has never happened to this extent before.

Up to this point, for a very long time, there has been a veil of power and control that has been placed over us, which is now being lifted so that we all may walk in the light. Anything that no longer serves the highest good for all is now being cleansed away. Those who resist, are being faced with their issues being mirrored back to them in a powerful way.

Archangel Michael asks us to have faith and courage to face all that no longer serves us. He also reminds us that the less we resist these changes, the easier they will be. We do have the power to bring the Earth and all who live here, back into balance, but it is up to each and every one of us to play our p arts.

Every person on this planet chose to come here at this time for a reason - even those who are choosing to leave, for even in their leaving, they help to lift the vibration and consciousness of all.

Archangel Michael asks us to also have courage and know that there is always a light at the end of the tunnel, if we choose to see it. As with the great Law of Attraction, that which we focus on becomes manifest. If we choose to see this time as an opportunity rather than the end, we will - together - bring about a new vision for the Earth.

He tells me that if we didn't have the power to re-create Eden right here and now, we wouldn't be here to do this work. Believe and know this to be true! As with the Raven totem, remember that you are all Creator!

By working out your own "stuff' you cleanse those issues for others around you, and the density is gradually lifted, along with the veil.

Michael says, "Keep up the amazing work you are all doing here!" We believe in you more than you can imagine. Call on all of us regularly when you want clarity, courage, peace, and most importantly, Love. Call on us often. We are here to serve you and love you, always. No task is too small for us to assist you with!"
