May 1, 2026 Starting Summer and Sparkling Beings

May 1st in many places is seen as the beginning of summer because in the old ways, this is Beltane Day. Celebrations abound in parts of Europe.  Drum festivals, fire festivals, summer markets, and bonfires and dances.  In my part of the world, we can still get snow so May 1 is the hope for summer.  

The feeling of change is prevalent at this time.  Some of us are lucky enough to se e the Sparkling Beings – those made of pure energy – are coming to visit because the light frequencies are so high. Many see them as flashes or brief orbs.  They are here to watch and learn and assist, if called to assist.  We must remember to ask for help.

This is the time that the concept of “selfie” has dangers associated with it.  To be so into the selfishness of me, to be in that isolation, is to move away from Oneness and all that comes with Oneness.  It is, however, a choice.  Each choice is perfect for each person.

So it is.

A Blue Jay Moment

We were sitting on the deck this afternoon when Blue Jay popped onto a branch of the fir tree next to us, and leaned over to chat.

He was telling us to get prepared for an early winter.  He reminded me that I should buy more bird seed.  He said that he was grateful for the food that I put out.  And, he was grateful for all that we did for the birds and small animals.

Blue Jay went on to say that he and his kind were not always the kindest to their feathered kin.  He offered that we were always kind.

I thanked him. 

Blessings,

Healing Is A Slow Process

 The poster says:  Healing takes time, and asking for help is a courageous step. —-Unknown

********************************

Like many people, over my lifetime, I have had to deal with different illnesses or physical situations that required some lengthy healing time.  Yes, our bodies do regenerate.  Yes, western medicine fixes many things that are broken, however, ultimately it is our own bodies that finish the healing.  We must allow the body the time and the energy to heal.  Many of us interfere with healing by eating or drinking the foods that interfere with the healing, or interfere by exercising too early or not getting enough sleep.  There are many factors that help and hinder healing.

Early on in my life, I learned that I did not need to do all the work and research by myself.  I asked for help.  It seemed that as I asked for help with whatever issue I was facing, the healing happened easier, if not quicker.  

Do I have any suggestions about asking for help?  Yes.  Here are some things that I found helpful.

1.  Specialists are great but even they can get it wrong.  Trust your body to tell you what is wrong and do not let anyone tell you that you are wrong if your body sends different messages than what a doctor is saying.  If I had listened to a doctor who kept telling me I was suffering from stress, I would not have found out that I had an inherited condition that could be controlled with a prescription.

2.  Use western medicine and support it with a great naturopath or shaman or medicine woman who can help with natural solutions if they are an alternative to a drug that causes side effects.  There are times when acupuncture, acupressure, reiki, BodyTalk, and all other holistic practices will help speed the healing process.

3.  Listen to your body, especially in recovery.  There is a saying in Qi Gong - No pain is no pain.  In the west, we often think that we need to push into pain and that pain is a badge.  Pain is pain and stops the healing process.  Pain is a blockage. Energy - healing energy does not flow through a blockage.

4.  Learn to stop to rest and/or sleep easily and as often as you can.  If you watch animals that are injured or are ill, they sleep much of the time.  When the body is at rest, the best healing happens because there are not any roadblocks to stop the healing.

5.  Go outside and be in Nature, especially be in a woods or forest or along water.  Healing happens by trees and by rivers.

If you are healing from something, I wish you strength and grace in dealing with your situation.  If you are strong and well, I wish you good fortune to stay healthy and to concentrate on continual healing support for your body.

Blessings,

Judy
