  • Nature

    Many amazing correspondences and interconnections within and between the animal, vegetable and mineral kingdoms have been discovered, especially by those gifted with clairvoyant abilities. For example, crystalline mineral deposits deep in the earth energize the planet, and gemstones, when worn channel healing rays of life force into the human aura. A seemingly endless variety of healing energies, pleasant fragrances, and beautiful color, patterns, shapes, and sounds in nature bless humankind and contribute to our physical, emotional and spiritual well-being.

  • Meditative Moment

    Ah blessed, meditative moment,
    Reveal yourself before you are spent.

    Broaden the view,
    Heighten the day,
    Gather the stars
    To glitter the way;

    Smile the flowers,
    Bouquet the trees,
    Shine the raindrop,
    Warm the breeze;

    Fragrance the soil,
    Grow the grass:
    All in the moment
    Before you pass.

    Nature's Wintry Song
    Taken from Messages from Jesus, p.247.

    Nature has a wintry song.
    It’s whispers come in little winds,
    which blow the snow from trees
    and make a glittery, misty fall
    in all the shivering breeze.

    The whispers whistle a tune for me
    as, lightly, snow swirls round,
    and comes upon my lashes still,
    and the top of me on down.

    Its showy sounds show much more strength,
    and whirling snow dances all around.
    It’s all blown up and back and forth,
    and sometimes even down.

    Windless now, no tune sings,
    yet memories still hum my ear,
    as, soundlessly, the music rings,
    within the silence I hold dear.
