I had grown out my dyed-brown hair colour. I became (gasp!!) grey. Soft slate grey, with some silver, to be precise. I had no idea what was under the dye, to be honest. Everyone loved it. I felt so down each time someone said that. Because I didn't like it. I had started out with very, very black hair as my natural colour.
With the grey, I felt as though I had become invisible. And I knew that I was doing less and less beneficial things for myself.
Plus, I associated grey/white with my beloved Mum. She always said: "never go grey". I took this to heart for many years. Even more when she stopped dyeing her hair, then soon passed over. Well, that was the association in my mind, but of course that really wasn't the complete way that it all was.
I didn't go blonde for the Global Unity Festival. I had in mind to start dyeing my hair again, anyway. After many years of giving out on many levels, I had forgotten about me, in regards to giving to myself. I don't mean in an indulgent way. I mean in an upkeep, feel okay about oneself, sort of way.
In so many ways, it feels so selfish and indulgent to even think about hair and such, at such a time as this. With a global pandemic, and war.
I vividly remember, just over 32 years ago, standing by the side of a road, with my wee toddler in her pushchair. Feeling the stillness and concern in the air. It felt as though the world was waiting. Which it was doing. Waiting to see if there would be a world war. The Gulf War was about to start. It was such a scary time. And it's happening again. So sad. So unbelievably, indescribably sad.
I learnt all of those years ago, standing there so worried about my family, that we still have to keep going from day to day. We still need to make our life matter. Because it does. It really does matter. Each and every person's.
Global Unity Festival (online) is on again Sunday 6th March, NZ time
Despite the world situation, we shall keep going.
This time it's about balance. A big subject. I'm not yet sure about the direction that I shall take with this. I am always 100% into practical aspects. These are Life Foundations, really. I find being too "spiritual" gets really unreal after a while. Unreal as in "get your feet back on the ground!!" However, being me, I actually can't resist the mystical side of life. So it could be both practical, and also mystical.
Chakra power
I'm thinking of doing it in regards to chakras, but in a 100% different way. How to use the chakras in the aura to achieve balance in your life. Mmmm..... I like that. Decision made!
But I promise you, it will be very, very different to any ideas that you may have about chakras.
Just saying. And, being me, I shall also delve into the chakras proper, to do with the spiritual spine. What I have to tell you is quite, quite different from anything that you may have heard or read.
But mostly, I want this talk to empower people and bring balance into their life. In a very different way.
Why not join me?
So, if you go into Earth Elders on facebook, and click "join", you will be able to see and listen to it.
Sunday 6th March, at 4.30-5.30pm. New Zealand time. Of course, you can choose to see/listen afterwards.
So exciting!!!
