Blissful Surrender: Meditation To Become

2012-01-08T07:11:00.000-08:00

Blissful Surrender...

are you ready to Become?

Let go

so that you may be free

so that you may fly

so that you can Allow Creation

Change is Creativity in motion

Surrender can be Blissful

when we let go of the old world

and embrace the new

Usually when we resist

it is because

the change is "already here" we sense it's power

and feel fear in the 'foreign"space

but this space is YOU..so there is nothing to fear

So understand...that the energy you use

to hang on and hold on, to reject and resist

is stopping the flow of new life and energy

you are altering the Life-Force in you

you are holding your Bliss back

Bliss is Radiant Energy

Bliss is peace and beauty

Your Bliss is a joy-seeker

a pendulum that seeks Flowing LIGHT

Creating With Harmony

and only wants Happiness for you..

Be Blissful

be Free

Trust in the spirit of life

trust in the spirit of your path

the Natural Harmony

of your Life.

The moment that you allow yourself

to bloom

you have set your world free

and this World

can now

newly create on your behalf

in a way that truly honors you

and sets your Path to Light

and Ignites you to Life.

Don't be afraid of your Own Journey Unfolding

It is Perfect for you

It carries all the gifts you need

each step of the way

Begin your BLiss

TRUST

FLOW

and Become

A BLissful Surrender

is waiting for you.

Honor your Unique Version of Life: The Holiday Season

2011-12-22T07:58:00.000-08:00

Honor your Inner Harmony
Follow your own unique version of Life and what that means to you. Express your Version of life to the fullest!

The Holiday season is here..
For some this is welcomed.. for others... it may feel stressful and full of different pressures.

For some it is simple, for others it is complicated.
For some it is full of Joy, for others compromise!
Everyone has a different life situation and how they may view this time of year.

In this sea of many expectations..there are some who feel swept away into a current.
For some this current is a positive experience for others not so fun..and for some who may not be into the holidays it can feel uncomfortable and they can feel invisible.

Wherever you fall...be true to YOU..and what makes you happy and comfortable and connect IN to the Harmony of YOUR LIFE.

First of all..

If ...you Celebrate the holidays...
~Enjoy
~Celebrate the way that feels perfect for you.
~Find your own balance in all areas and keep aligned with what feels like Harmony to you.
~Be healthy, be well, be safe, be appreciative of all that you have and all that is around you.
~Be loving, kind, sensitive and understanding if others are different
or do not celebrate the same way as you!
~ Be true to what brings you joy and share your treasures/your love-friendship/your time/ with those who may not have all that you do.
~Do not wait for the holidays to appreciate life, those you love or to be generous and giving..appreciate it every moment...give to those in need all year round!

What if I don't celebrate the holidays?
or don't want to?
or feel pressured by others/gatherings/gifts/...
~Same thing..honor what feels right to you.
~Honor what your version of life is and feel joyful about that!
~Everyone is unique, different and meant to be exactly as they are
~Not everyone observes the same events, festivals, religions, spiritual traditions etc
~Be exactly who you are and shine
~Not everyone follows a mainstream calender....if you are outside the box...celebrate that unique journey too!

What if I celebrate differently or have other Traditions /different forms of spirituality
~Celebrate them.....enjoy
~Don't be afraid to share you own unique traditions too..they are part of you!
~ The world is full of many kinds of beautiful ingredients..all valuable and purposeful and meaningful!
~Everyone ..whether you follow a mainstream calender..an ancient one, new age..or all of the abve..all are beautiful in their own way!

Money/Gifts..pressure...or balance?

~Gifts given fron the heart are best. Whether home- made, hand made..store-bought or a simple gesture of time spent listening and sharing and talking..all are valuable in thier own way!

~What's your style when it comes to that gesture..what kind of gift giving Honors you?
Seek your heart and decide what feels healthy to you, and how you would like to represent that gesture..and if you to wish to at all!

~You should never feel pressured to participate in things that you are not in harmony with.
~If it is something you don't mind doing or absolutely love doing.....simply enjoy!
~If it is something you have decided to do ..do it in your own way and be in Harmony with the way that truly Honors you!

~ Be healthy with spending money, never feel presssured to buy or give.
~The best gifts are ones that are simple..sharing our time, giving our love freely and being together!

FOOD and Pressure
Food can be an isssue for those not well or those who have food issues.
Always honor your Health and Wellbeing!
Do not feel prressured by others.
Do what is healthiest for you , stick with it...and be well!
Feeling well is more important that anything!

~If you have strict diet, follow it.
~If you have to bring your own food to certain events because you have alot of food issues..do so..honor your health. Simple as that! Enjoy your self...

~If you simply prefer a different way of eating or have different beliefs about food..a different lifestyle..be true to it.~Celebrate it!

~If you are hosting a dinner and have guests with different diets...be respectful of that.
For some, every thing they eat is vital in staying well. Respect they may have special dietary needs.

~For others who have major food allergies, they need to be in a situation that is safe and free from harm. Be mindful and aware of that!

~If your guests have different beliefs about food..Be open and accepting to that..let them enjoy their food choices the way that honors them.

Eating together should be Joyful and there is often too much pressure, criticism and judgement about those who live a different lifeystyle or have different needs when it comes to food.
~ Let everyone do what is best for them!

STRESS and GRIEF

This time of year can be very hard for some.
It can feel overpowering and full of pressure depending on what your Life Situation is!
If you feel stressed.....take yourself off the hook...be Kind and Loving to yourself, Find your balance in the ways that feel naturally calming to you.

Surround yourself with positive and loving friends and support.
Whatever is burdening you..release it as best you can. Let it out...let it go.

Stress is an invisible toxin that depletes us on all levels.
Understand how important it is to regain Your Balance,
let go of what you feel is pressuring you and press the re-set button.

Be well...your health is much MORE important than whatever you feel is burdening you.
If you feel the holidays are too much for you..do what is healthiest and most balancing for you at this time..and take care of you!

~Grief and Triggers~
This time of year can be very emotional for some.
It may be a time of loss and the holidays in general can be a Trigger for those dealing with heartache or still wounded by the past. It may also be a sad time of the year for those who have lost loved ones or going through a rough time.
~If you are sad or down reach out and let others be there for you!

If you are aware of someone who is grieving or is triggered in some way..Be there for them...reach out and offer support, love, connection. This gesture could be the most powerful thing you can do for those in a time of grief, sadness or depression.

~Also be Understanding of others who may not feel in tune with the Holidays..respect them and what they feel up to or not up to...do not add more pressure. Support means being there for others in the way most helpful to them!

~ If you know of those who are alone...reach out and share your generous spirit, and welcome them.

Universal Connection and Oneness

Energy, Connection and Universal Consciousness

~ At this time of year..people can feel sensitive and In tune to a Universal Essence.
For some this Connection is Empowering and Full of positive energy and often called the Christmas or Holiday Spirit.
~For some this light-love and energy feels wonderfully vibrant and alive and positive..they feel deep joy and connection..their hearts feel generous and it is a joyful time of giving and thanks and love.

Many people are Connected In to this energy at a universal level "all at the same time".....and this is also what "amplifies" it's power and experience of it as well.
~If you feel full of the spirit...enjoy and shine.

~For others this may not be so joyful and they may be at the opposite end of this spectrum..and feel Stress and lack of energy and anxiety even.
~For others this can be a draining time, again..this universal or collective connection amplifies what we are experiencing. For some this is a time of sadness or grief or pressure...so this experience is heightened..and some can feel very sensitive to this energy!

~You can harness your own power back and regain balance!
~If you feel you are sensitive..try to find a way to balance and rejuvenate your energy and clear your mind, heart and spirit to feel lighter and refreshed.
~Sometimes simpy becoming "aware" is what can "instantly transform" your energy back into Balance and harmony!
~ If you are feeling stressed , find a way to help alleviate it and feel better.
~ If you feel you are Sensitive to energy in some way..find a way to come back into your Own Energy, Find Balance and calm and anything negative you are feeling...Release it with Love.

In closing...

Living an Empowered Life means honoring your version of truth ..your path..and the way you wish to celebrate your Life and how you wish to Live it and experience it. If you have felt pressured to live your life through a filter that does not belong to you..begin to find your own Vision of what you want your life to look like and how you wish to experience it! Allow your True Version of Life to shine through!

Whatever the Holiday season means to you...enjoy it in the way that feels Most Joyful to you.
If you do not celebrate or participate in the season..Honor that too....and enjoy!
Finding you Own Unique version of Life and honoring that ...is how you Create Personal Harmony in your life. Celebrate YOUR life...your way...your path..whatever that is!
Fall in Love with your own Unique Version of Life...let it Be and let it Bloom.
Be you!
Victoria Pettella~
I dedicate this article to those I have spoken with recently having these issues and those I have worked with over the years that are trying to find harmony in their Own Version of life...and to encourage them to embrace thier life as they wish!Be true to you!

Wishing Everyone Beautiful Blessings
in 2012 and A Very Magical New Year ahead!

Your Truest Self and Letting your True Nature Guide you.

2011-12-17T12:47:00.000-08:00

Your Truest Self
does not hide from the Light
for its Knows
it's Worth,
and it Knows only Love
It is like Light ...seeking light.

Your True self will
unveil itself to you
with open arms
when you stop hiding from it.

Know Your Light
And Honor that it's purpose
is to be Revealed
and to pierce open like the powerful rays
of the Stars and of the Sun.
Your true nature is meant
to Grow, Bloom and Become.
Victoria Pettella

Your True Nature
Having a healthy sense of self is vital for your life to be fueled with harmony. Liking and loving who you are, letting your true self come to the surface is your gift to yourself and to those in your life.. Don't hide who you are or stop the natural flow of the Light within you! It is perfect light and meant to be revealed and to shine as is!

When we stop the natural flow of who we are, we suppress that inner light.
Honor your true self, find out who that is..and let it come out.
Honor your true nature and how it is guiding you from within.

Self-trust and self -love will awaken your heart-mind and spirit to new levels. Your life will feel lighter, healthier and happier. And in turn you become more loving and understanding to those around you and more conscious of the world around you and how you can grow to be even more loving/ giving/understanding of those around you.

Once you acknowledge your Own Inner Light and Give it a purpose...you are here to Create and Grow even more light...letting it's essence spread.
Self-love is important ...it is a potent seed that once Nourished..then blooms and moves you Beyond the Self and into the Space of Others and the World.

Your True Nature..is N A T U R A L...
it knows exactly who it is , how to BE itself...and how it wishes to flow, grow and create.
It's higher-nature is here to pursue that Inner Current to Be All that it can be.

This Inner Current is Awake and Alive...
It has it's own inner magic , it's own evolution and this inner current guides us
to follow the truest path Towards Harmony and Flow with Harmony for your life,
personal growth and well-being.
It is also what will make your most Empowered Nature come to Life!
Don't stop the flow...let it roll!
Be your True Self and the rest will follow.

Thankyou for visiting..

Release your Tears so that you may heal: Open up and Let go

2011-11-19T05:32:00.000-08:00

Release

your hurts

your pain

let go

Open your heart

to those hurt and in pain

Listen to them

comfort them

Be there

Understand it is an Honor to be there

for those when they need you

Even without words

silence and connection brings peace

Open your Self

and share your heart

If you are hurting

let yourself be heard

let your feelings be known

someone will hear you

someone will comfort you

Let your fear go that

you will not be understood

let someone IN

share your heartache so that you can begin to heal

Releasing what is burdening you

will lighten your heart

letting your feelings fall out instead of carrying them

will lift your mind with light and peace

Know how to let go and release

set your self free

Being there for Others

You may never know

what is truly happening in someone's life

be there for those you care for

those you love

friends, family

You may be..all that someone has

Be awake..Listen

be there

Make time for others..

When someone feels heard

they begin to heal

when you listen

you help them heal

A tear falls

so that it can nourish new beginnings

and so that you can become strong again

with hope, life and love

I dedicate this post..

to those who need healing

to those hurting and need to know they are loved

just as they are

and not to let go of hope

talking is a beginning

sharing and releasing pain

is healing

Be there for those in your life.

be there!

Creating Empowered Choices:Letting go of what Others Think

2011-11-07T17:46:00.000-08:00

Only you know
what is healthy for you
Body, Mind, Heart and Spirit
Be true to what feels TRUE... for you

When in a place where you need to make a change and feel confused
all you need to ask yourself..
is ...

What is healthy for Me!

we often judge our choices
we often can also.. feel the impact
of others and what they may judge "about" our choices

Creating Empowering Choices
simply means..
That you "sense what your truth is" on some level
and you are creating the best choice you can make in that moment
being true to the TRUTH that "Now represents you"

That Truth may shift and change
especially if you are moving through many changes
but ...Be and Become your strongest ally along the way
and support your choices..
feel the Arrow of Truth flying forward
and "align" yourself and All that you Are
in that direction!

It does not matter if others agree with you
approve of your choices
or have something to say
Connect In, feel your strength and hear only
what YOUR Inner Spirit is saying
It is what you are meant to do.... to honor you!

No one else has a say in what empowers you..
Only you can Recognize it!!

Try not to pay too much attention
to what others say or project or judge
We are all meant to look after our Own Path and life
in the Way that feels Best and True and Empowering for you!!
Celebrate that !!
Victoria Pettella

Over the years I have met and connected with many who were in the Midst of great changes in their life or on their Path. They knew or sensed what they needed to do..but felt blocked by others judgements or the slight anticipation of that.

Sometimes we need to make changes and create new choices and
can feel 'Overly Conscious"of the outside world and how others view us,
those we know, how they may react or being judged etc!

If this has troubled you...Press the reset button..and Tune in to YOU.
Spend time within, honor your truth.
Try to connect MORE with your "Own Awareness"
and what is healthy and joyful for you( instead of connecting To what others think)..
So..Connect IN, stay in this space... find your balance and create harmony!

By following your truth....more and more.. you will Begin to know what "that feels like and looks like" for you....and don't worry what it looks like to others or what they think !! As long as you follow your own path ....you will always find home! No one else knows what your path is...but you!
You are your Own Greatest Guide, Teacher and Ally on your journey..
celebrate that..and honor that!~ Victoria Pettella~

Meditations: Set Peace free...

2011-11-03T15:16:00.000-07:00

Peacefulness exists ...already... within you
step out of the way..

Peace ...in the world
already exists
step out of it's way

when we channel LOVE's potent power
this is how peace ............is set free

If you set your Own Heart ...Free
Free to be Fully "Awake"
and let that "Inner Peace"... fly out into the Universe
surely then...
the Universal Heart can begin to do the same

Peace Exists
it has always been there
it will always be

But it cannot Come to Life
on the outside realm
and into world
Until we Fully Realise
it's Power.. living inside of ourselves..

Let that part of you out..
let it come to life...
send it... on it's way..

Don't hold back your heart..
For ..it is the Carrier of Peace
Open your Heart..and let Peacefulness fly out...
When you do..
it will carry itself
to all ends of the earth
and set the World to Light
And this Sacred Translation ....will Ignite the Universe.

Inner Power: Meditations of your Radiant Glow

2011-10-12T11:09:00.000-07:00

Your Inner Power
makes you......"exactly you"
It is like your own "Personal Fuel" that uniquely respresents YOU
its makes your energy "vibe" and shine with Life-Force
it makes your spirit contagious with a Radiant Glow..
it's what makes people love being around you

we often can recognize instantly
those that carry a Strong Sense of Inner Power
and exude this beautiful energy
they are strong, confident and anchored in Who they Are

Knowing who you are
and who you are constantly Becoming
and Embracing it all.. is Key

Exude your inner radiance
Shine with your Inner power
Tap into this resource within

It is the personal fuel that flows towards all that is good on your journey
and carries you like a current of inspiration.. leading the way
All it asks...is for you to enjoy the ride..trust and shine and smile along the way
Let all that Inner Power within you embody the Magnificent Freedom
to express and flow where it needs to go...however it wishes to do so...shine shine shine!
Victoria Pettella

If you don't feel connected to your
Inner Power....Begin!
Your Inner Power resides in you..if you haven't yet been able to connect
with this natural space..
Let who you are within ...the power to shine
give it freedom..
give it full permission..
set afire it's expression..
get out and exercise it..
let it out in the open space.. till it feels effortless and enjoyable.

Find out what your Inner Power means to you..and begin to let that out!

You see.......our inner power aleady "knows itself" and "believes in itself powerfully ".. it needs no convincing...so one must begin to align with that Knowing too....
let the magic begin and get ready to shine!
It is a natural energy that instantly accompanies you when you feel a sense of Harmony about who you are and when you feel that excitement about your life journey! It just becomes part of you...and part of the flow...and it will continue to carry you through.. in every part of your journey.

Autumn Spotlight

Sweet Dumpling Squash

Autumn brings many gorgeous

treasures to try..

I love squash..so many out there..

This Sweet Dumpling Squash is new to me..

Spectacular and fabulous!

Just taken out from the oven...

beautiful caramel amber skin..

A friend of mine recommended

to roast it whole

in the oven at 325

for an hour and 1/2 ..or less

Turn it every once and awhile and pierce holes

as it softens

when done..let it cool

cut through however you like..

scoop out seeds.

enjoy as is

or do what you please!

The Smell of this beauty.. is wonderfully sweet..

And the inside...

....just as pretty

Bright yellow-golden orange goodness..

YUM

This tasted amazing.....as is....

there is a natural sweetness to it..

I simply ate it with a spoon!

and I used the rest for

a beautiful Autumn Soup!

with fresh herbs..

What new treasures have you tried

or opened this Autumn?

* Do you have a Favorite Squash Variety

or recipe?

Happy October Friends..

thanks for visiting

Wishing you Autumn's Embrace

in all colors

in the beauty of Nature

all around you

and the Magic of this Transformative Season!

Finding Harmony

Meditation: Embrace those who Color outside the lines..

2011-09-12T10:58:00.000-07:00

Sometimes along life's journey you are not accepted, or you may feel different. Sometimes others just cannot think in a new way..or are unable to accept you just as you are. You may not fit their picture. If you do not fit their Ideals or beliefs you may feel rejected and insignificant.

I have met many people along the way of life waiting for someone to accept them ..waiting forever at times. Sometimes people cannot open thier mind or heart to what is different. Sometimes people think in a very linear conditioned way.. and they maybe cannot help it. But don't let that stop you...be you! If you pay too close attention to how others percieve you or what others think....it will take a toll.

I have met many who are Beautfully Unique and they hide who they are because they feel devalued by what others think. They begin to feel who they are is unworthy or invisible or meant to be hidden away. Not so! Value yourself..and your Unique essence!

Think instead..what a gift it is..to Be able to SEE the world the way you do..and Feel and Know the things you do....to celebrate the way you experience life....to be able to color outside the lines in life..is a gift..celebrate that you are one of those unique ingredients floating through the universe!

Here are some thoughts to keep in mind..

An Open Mind

Embraces you

A trained mind

Thinks in boxes

And makes things fit

Leaving out anything else it does not understand

casting it out into the abyss

An Awake mind

Sees beyond form

And accepts an ever-changing landscape

Of magical ingredients

and an ever-flowing stream of awareness

that moves beyond time and space

beyond the senses

beyond labels and definitions

a Space of Harmony

where the Heart can celebrate everything different

seeing it instead….as Unique

seeing it as Relevant

Valuable

Purposeful

Meaningful

And even Beautiful

How does your mind work?

Is it closed

Open

Awake…asleep?

Full of judgement or full of Love’s embrace?

We are all important and valuable just as we are!

Do You Color Outside the Lines in life?

If you do...embrace this special magic!

Beyond the lines..and outside the frames..exists all that is possible..all the potentials..all that is new. It is the Creative Essence still arriving..and waiting to be discovered.

Those who color outside the lines in life..are usually here to bring in New Ingredients..and they create changes..awaken consciousness..open the heart and spirit and help shift others to think in a new way..and even experience life in a new way!

So don't wait to fit in..you are not supposed to..how can you possibly fit in a frame..when you truly belong outside of it in the open- creational-space......
it is where all the magic is!

Embrace this...

Share your colors..your unique You..it is why you are here!

This is for those out there…especially… if you feel different and have never been accepted or fit into perfect boxes..

Know there is a divine reason for this..and this is perfect.

You do not have to belong anywhere…

or wait to belong….

for you already Belong to yourself!

Celebrate that!

Meditations of the Inner Voice: Speak the Song of your life

2011-09-08T09:06:00.000-07:00

The Power of your Inner Voice

Speak through your Pure Heart
speak from your Awakened Mind
speak from your Beautiful Spirit
Speak with wisdom
love, peacefulness

Shape your words into wings
let them fall gently
never sharpen your words like a fierce blade
or like a shard of glass
you may wound and hurt another
in a way you can never repair

our voice has power
how you use that voice
can enlighten and heal
inspire and awaken
our inner voice is empowered with Truth
how you wield it's power is up to you

Imagine...Words being....
a sword of light ...piercing open the veil
to a path of beauty and illuminating the sky with the sun...
or as a sword of hate , a weapon destroying the flow of goodness

Sometime we must speak our truth and stand up for ourselves..
this also must come from a place of balance that honors you and your truth

your voice can carry love, compassion, patience and gentleness
it can carry qualities of Strength and Empowerment when needed as well
Carry your OWN Voice, find out what that voice IS within you
and allow it's light to flow through you
Find your voice...build a connection with it
know it well
know How to use it
When to use it
how BEST to use it and how to wield it's beautiful power
in a way that honors your life, your needs, your truth
and also can respect the truth of those around you.

no matter how different we may all be
we are all one in the same
we each have the right to claim our inner voice
and speak it's truth

use this power daily..try your best to allow that inner voice
to speak for you when you need
and honor the natural flow
of that empowered place shining within you.

your inner voice
is Wisdom and light..
it is love..
it is the dialogue of your life..

how will you use it?..

and will you allow it to show you the ways
of an empowered awareness?
...this empowered awareness..can shine through
your voice, your words and your truth
if you allow it..
it will show you many things
your inner voice is a gift.
Create with it.
Speak the Song of your life.
~Victoria Pettella~

If you have found the power of your voice..celebrate that!
If others around you have not..be patient with them.
If someone you know struggles with allowing their truth to speak..
help them...nurture this..help set them free.

Children especially are wonderful at using their truth and inner voice..they are to be admired!
And there are also some children who struggle with this....help give them the courage to bloom and to know the Worth of their inner voice and that this power is theirs to use!
Set your inner voice free...

Finding the Power of your Inner voice..
begins a Powerful Dialogue
in finding the perfect harmony for your life.
As your words begin to flow
and honor your truth..you empower your path...
and begin to align all things in that direction..
celebrating your sacred truth
and what makes your life special to you
is part of your journey.
Shining your truth and finding the voice
to express that and carry it outward
will bring peacefulness to your life.

Victoria's Color Harmony: Meditations and Insights

2011-07-28T10:48:00.000-07:00

~Color Harmony~

Victoria Pettella

Color is Powerful
Color is Vibrational
Color is Sound and Movement...

Color is a Potent Language...full of meaning, energy, essence and symbology.
It is flowing with Creativity and Life Force.

Color is Beautiful, Radiant and Magical..Color is Everywhere!

Colors can Heal, Uplift and Inspire

Color can create Harmony within.. on all levels..Body-Mind and Spirit
Colors are Expressive..
Colors are Creative and Multidimensional

Color can change our energy, our thinking..our behaviours
Colors can invoke feelings..memories
Colors can energize you ..invigorate you

Colors make us feel positive or even negative...we all interpret colors uniquely, we even have an opinion about them..and associate them with our own inner-symbology. We may feel influenced by our experiences with them...good, bad and neutral. Some colors create an overall sense of well-being and harmony..like music to the soul.

Color can bring one into balance and also take one OUT of balance.
Color can alter our mood, stimulate our thoughts, even hunger and also make us feel well or even unwell. We are all unique and our color harmonies and our color- needs are unique too.

Color Frequencies impact our lives...it is all very amazing, magical and intriguing. If you have ever studied in the area of Color Therapy, you will learn that the Skin is aware of light and vibration..it is sensitive to the colors it is recieving, the colors it is absorbing..and soaking up..and even the colors that we wear....our skin is very aware of them. To the skin( the largest organ of the body)..color is a language full of light and life and flowing with information.

How connected are you to your Own Personal Color Expression?
..in the home, in surroundings, in foods, in what you wear..in the kinds of colors that you are drawn to visually..intuitively and even emotionally..have you ever taken notice..?

Color is like music..like notes on a scale..like codes that have thier own unique signature, sound and speed and vibration..colors are frequencies..they carry sound...they are healing and transformative and communicate with us on many levels!

Keep a Color Journal
A Color Journal can be agreat way to get in touch with color and help you feel more intune with how color communicates with you personally and also to Explore your own unique insights and your relationship with color energies! You will be amazed what you will find out..
Take notice of your reactions to colors...
your likes and dislikes..

Explore Color Context....where do you find the Colors

that you Love?

I love Nature as a Source!

A great topic in your journal is to explore ....Which "Context" do you prefer colors in..for instance..you may not like to wear "Red" but you love red flowers in nature ?
We often prefer colors and experience them differently in different contexts..home, decor..outside in nature's natural settings..

Do you have preferences..what context do you enjoy colors in?
What colors do you dislike?
Have there been colors you once felt a block towards and now have healed that color barrier?
What patterns come up in colors and the way you use them?

Which colors do you feel help calm you..heal you...stimulate you..balance you?
Do colors make you feel sad, happy..introverted, extroverted ?

What Colors invoke confidence for you..creativity, spiritual essence..wholeness?

What are your Colors of Empowerment?
What colors are your helpers, allies?
What are your Power Colors?

What colors represent you right now?

Ask yourself some creative questions..you will know all the answers!

If you feel especially sensitive to Colors, a journal is a great way to record your experiences and take note of what colors are most helpful to you...and also to see how you have changed color-wise!

If you even can "see color energies" that is fun too..observe how they make you feel intuitively and what they mean to you!

I am very color sensitive and stimulated by colors on all levels.. ..so using colors in any form is a wonderful way to work with color energy when you feel called! Writing about your creative ways to use color is fun too.

Color-Care-Package
Create a colorful-array of what inspires you! Have a special box that you keep all your color-healing treasures in. Collecting fabrics, papers, objects, crystals and photos/pictures embodying your Color-Harmonies is fun. Make a Color-care-package and use when you need it most! This package and the contents will change as your color-needs change..also great to add to your journal to track your colors shifting!

COLOR SHAPE-SHIFTING

There will be times when color seems VERY important to you..or you feel strongly drawn to a certain Color Palette or even repel certain colors. You may have outgrown some colors...or are even merging with new colors that you have never liked before!

Something is changing vibrationally in you..you are going through a frequency change...I call this Color Shape-shifting....color is literally creating with you and speaking to you and connecting with you..aligning you and attuning you with new ingredients. Like a rainbow and all of it's color rays...you are shifting along that scale and transforming with new frequencies!

For some, this is about healing..or for others it is about integrating new wonderful changes. Your own energy field is transforming... colors are stimulating you to new ingredients they are moving towards.
Color Balancing is occuring..or like a re-balance and reformulation..seeking Color Harmony.

We sometimes shift and change vibrationally..meaning..our color harmonies and what "we require" color-wise shifts and changes. You may suddenly LOVE orange..and never liked it before...you may suddenly need to have blue walls..or wear red...or paint in green...or be in nature and see it visually..........these are usually indicative of major color changes and "color needs" that are presently expressing in you.

You may be going through changes..physical or even spiritual......and colors can help acknowledge that journey..or even bring in Healing ingredients or stimulators to move that along..body mind and spirit. Colors can help us mentally and emotionally...nourish us and carry us to the next level...colors are pretty potent allies.

Your whole energy field is made of color harmonies that uniquely express you...and embody your energy. That can change and shift and alter throughout your life.

Color as Meditation

Color can help Align your energy and Attune you to Balance
It can help re-focus energy and create harmony
Color can help you with internal shifts.. and bring through new knowledge.
Color-Breathing is also a wonderful way to work with colors and connect with colors..simply visualize and breathe in that color for nourishment.

Color Meditations can expand awareness and expand Consciousness.

Create Visual Meditations by gathering a few objects you are drawn to, choose colors you want to focus on..and simply reflect and enjoy!

Color can be calming, soothing, reflective ad deeply meditative.
Color can be Energizing and make us feel wonderfully alive and radiant!

Color Meditations can help to bring harmony..neutralize the mind, calm emotions, stimulate creativity , activate new ideas, release grief and emotions and old thinking patterns.

Painting~ Meditation Orb~ Victoria Pettella

Color can also bring us to Wholeness and ONEness...a Rainbow is the perfect symbol or vision to think of to represent that Ultimate Color Balance and Pure Harmony!

Catch a rainbow now and then..and absorb it's beautiful energy...

I love catching rainbows..don't you?

Whether you work with colors consciously, directly, intuitively...through healing work, meditation....or simply appreciate them and their nautral beauty all on their own..it is a powerful part of our life.....enjoy your color journeys!

You don't have to know a single thing about color or the reason why you like a certain color...just enjoy it...and just trust what you are drawn to...and enjoy it's magical energy! It embodies exactly what you need at that time!

Everyone NATURALLY already knows what colors will help them and can sense what they need...some feel very sensitive to colors intuitively and also know what will bring harmony to them...go and explore and find your own Color Magic!
Allow the Gift of COLORS to help you in Finding Harmony.

Meditations with Victoria: Breath; a Powerful Ally for Well-being, Be Nourished

2011-06-22T11:24:00.000-07:00

The Breath is Powerful
INbreath
Outbreath
Both beautiful doorways
of Unity and Connection and Wholeness

When we take time to be calm, quiet and still
and to focus on the breath..breathing can instantly shift us on all levels.

Breath is a Powerful Nourisher,
it can invoke beautiful ingredients in the body, mind and spirit
and make us feel fantastic, rejuvenate us and bring clarity to our mind!

Breath is a natural healer..
When we align with our breath...
focus on the breath..
And Become Nourished by the Breath
we can find our Natural Harmony....

Think of Breath
as a Powerful Ally
of Transformation,
Healing
and Creativity:

this ally can transform stress into calm
it can take a burden and make it lighter
it can mold a problem into a solution
it can slow down a racing state of anxiety
and bring gentleness and peacefulness and a coccoon of safety

Breath is Wisdom
it can open the eyes to deeper perception
it can make a bud fully Bloom
it can awaken all of the senses
it can carry us into a new world within
it can make what ails us .....heal

Breath is Transformative
it can take tears and find paths to joy
it can take us deep within... to hear the answers
it can bring us out of pain ....and into bliss
it can shift what is negative... into a positive space
it can shapeshift the mind and ignite new wisdom
it can transform anything.... and bring us into balance
it can help the mind and body heal, restore and rejuvenate
It can strengthen us on all levels
reduce stress and re-align what is out of balance
It can bring your whole being into Harmony

The Breath is alive with life-force,
essence and energy
it can reawaken the body, mind and spirit
into a space of well-being

Take a moment each day
to Honor the Breath
To flow with it
to be still
to listen to it
to allow it to Guide you
to heal your whole body
and enhance your well-being
into a State of Harmony

Breathwork..breathing...IS Harmony...
the circuit of unity , wholeness and balance.

When we breathe...we become awake, in focus,
we become intune and aware and creatively abundant.

The breath is sacred
and greets us with our first breath of life,
it carries us all throughout... till the end of our journey,
until our final and last breath.
It is a sacred gateway..to the beginning, the inbetween and the end.

Tune into Breath,
Tap inot this Resource...
it can bring your whole Being into a Creative-Awake Space
and a healthy mind and body.

The breath is your powerful ally...create with it's powers!
Victoria Pettella~

What are your favorite ways to Create with Breath?
I love yoga and breathwork
I also love being in Nature and walking and flowing with my natural rythym of breath. I love to be still and meditative and focus on the abundant resource of our natural breathing...

Honor the Breath...breathe...be nourished by this powerful ally!

Meditations with Victoria:You are Instrumental in all that you Create; You are Divine Fuel

2011-05-25T06:49:00.000-07:00

You are Instrumental in all that you Create
you are Divine Fuel

when we speak with positivity and love
words heal and enlighten and awaken...

when we express with creativity and joy
inspiration comes to life and spreads beauty
into the heart of the world

when we take the time to truly listen
others feel heard and valued

when we reach out to help someone in great need
we have answered a prayer and created a miracle

when we bring new perspective into a situation
we have become an arrow of transformation

when we flow with change and allow it to guide the way
we ignite the flow of life even more
and become one with the current of harmony

when we make choices that bring balance and well-being
we empower ourselves

when we encourage children to be exactly who they are
we give them the freedom to know their path and to walk it proudly

when we believe in ourselves, validate ourselves, respect ourselves
we make it impossible for anyone to belittle our worth

when we communicate with clarity and with light
there is no room for misunderstanding
and instead, there is infinite space to awaken one another

when we say what we really mean and feel
we empower our truth

when we think creatively
we free up time , we create space
we shift energy and reduce burdens

when we are patient and compassionate
we allow others to grow at the divine pace of their soul

when we allow ourselves and others to be free
we remove the cages we created

when we allow our emotions to be felt
then released when divine
we honor our human nature and create healing on all levels

when we take notice of our world
and see where we can offer ourselves in some way
we embrace our power at a world level
and the world can feel supported and empowered

when we make choices that feel good
and use our discernment
we no longer judge ourselves

when we assume things about others
we diminsh who they are and alter the truth

when we change our beliefs
about the world
it has the Fuel to become New

when we hold ourselves, others and the World
with an Empowered Vision....
it can become exactly that!
Empowered, Free and Peaceful.

Release the fuel needed to set that into motion..
It resides in you...and can ignite the new.
You are an Instrumental Force in all that you Create.
Victoria Pettella~

What are you creating today? what are you building onto? a positive empowered vision, a space of compassion and love ?
Honor yourself, the world, those in your life..the planet..
create with change..ignite new energy..
you are the fuel to make that happen.

Meditations with Victoria: Show Up and Shine in All Directions, The World needs your LIGHT

2011-05-05T07:02:00.000-07:00

Come out..
Shine
Show up!
Be All that you ARE

The Journey to be you..is a GIFT
you do not have to wait
for others to approve or value you

Value yourself
Value your Spirit
Honor and Celebrate your unique self and who you are

If you already Shine..keep shining
if you find it hard..start somewhere...
Don't hold back your light..
it is why you are here!

Don't hide..you are here to be you.
Don't be afraid to be you..
that was not an accident at all..
it is perfectly divine..
show up just as you are

Come to life fully
and express your spirit fully
shine in all directions..
let yourself go..

The energy you use
to hold yourself back...
is holding LIGHT back
from the World
and those in your life

s h i n e
S h i n e
S H I N E

Part of finding harmony..
is Honoring the person you are Within..
and allowing that to flourish and to bloom
without hesitation or apology..
Have Courage to be YOU

Feel JOYFUL and EXCITED
about All that you Are
Fly With that EMPOWERED -KNOWING
that you are Valuable and Divine
Perfect
just as you are

and CELEBRATE that this is an absolutely perfect opportunity
to SHOW UP in LIFE just as you are
...and who you are ...is beautiful, wonderful and worthy
and POWERFUL

If you find it hard to show up..and to shine..
begin in small steps..
Love yourself Unconditionally
and With a passion..share your light

Ask youself....
if there are any pieces of you
that you are holding back
Ask yourself if there are any parts
that you have not allowed
to fly out in the open space..

if there are any parts of you
that need freedom,
healing, expression,
acceptance..or ever BIRTH
..begin that journey...
and set these parts of yourself FREE!

Eveything about you is relevant, purposeful
valuable and it is all a unique gift.

Don't hold that light back..
don't keep the world in the dark
While you are on the Earth..
you only have one thing to do..with all your heart and might..
It is
to Be you.....
and Harmony will bloom.

And the Magnificent thing is
that it Blooms..
not only in YOU....

but it Blooms
" Infinite Harmony"
into the World.

The world needs every single
Ingredient of Harmony..

You are One of these
Powerful Ingredients!

Now that you know..
How can you ever hold back
your Light and Empowered-Harmony from the World?
the World needs your LIGHT!

Meditations with Victoria: Carry Only Joy upon your back, Let your Burdens wash away

2011-02-27T07:15:00.000-08:00

Begin to see the Beauty all around you
Find a small moment inside each day...
and let it bloom into a Garden

As you walk through life
Carry only Joy upon your back
Jewels in your Heart and Mind
And surround yourself
with an appreciation
for the Blessings you have
and the beauty all around you each and every day

Walk your journey
with balance, with love, with gratitude
Understand that..what you align your path with
will powerfully influence the way
you feel and think .....about life the world , your relationships
and how you experience your every day awareness and choices

Your "walk " can feel heavy, long, painful
it can can also feel..... light and flowing and healing
Your life can be Blissful and Beautiful
as you participate in this Awareness more and more
like a beautiful ripple ...it continues to emanate
through all layers of your life
What you build onto grows..and grows and grows
Joy comes to life.

Not all days are like these.. not all moments are bliss
there are days of sadness and challenge
but to empower your spirit and heart
with Beauty, Calm, and Peacefulness
Can Enhance your Ability
to Become more Susceptible to Joy instead of pain
to be Open to Life and Positive Energy and Healing
to always seek new potential
and enhance your ability
to grow and adapt and shift with Joy
Be Susceptible to Joy...........

Take a moment each day.. to Encounter Beauty
to know it's relevance and build in it
Add your Beauty to the World
It creates the potential for your world to change

Carry only joy upon your back
walk steady, strong and in balance and harmony
It can ignite new pathways for you to explore
and help you to experience even more Joy.

Today's Meditative Thoughts

*Carry only Joy upon your back..it feels light as a feather

*Become Attached to your Joy.. and less attached to what may burden you..

*Become Susceptible to Symptoms of Joy!

*Make Space for Joy.
It cannot make a home within you..if you do not let it in.

*When you remember How to carry only Joy upon your back
your burdens wash away ...for there is no place for them to stay

*Make a conscious effort each day to Create Joy
and Embody the Spirit of Beauty and Love
For these Seeds are far more powerful than any burden you may have.

*Seeing life through the eyes of joy and love and being able to find the Beauty,
especiallty when it is hard....
can transform your burdens and create powerful change.

Every burden holds Powerful Ingredients..
instead of carrying them upon your back....Open this Gift up..
and allow it to Transform you into new life.
It may be hard to think of burdens in this way..
but become less attached to them..
For this is the only way
that you can Become
A Vessel for Joy.

Meditations with Victoria: The World has been waiting for your Love

2011-02-20T08:56:00.000-08:00

The World has been waiting for your Love

and Someone

in the world...

is waiting for your

Light

Share your Light

so the World can Shine

Lend a hand
to the world
to those in need
to those you know
to mere strangers

lend an ear
to those who may feel forgotten
to those who feel their voice is unheard
to those who may need a friend

Lend a heart
to those who are lonely
to those who need compassion
to those who feel lost and without love

lend comfort
to those who struggle
to those grieving
those who feel without hope
those with heartache
and those seeking peace

lend healing
to those who suffer
those with challenges
to those who need their spirits lifted
and those who need reconnection with Life

Share your gifts, your talents
to those who need to remember Beauty and Joy
to those who need the courage to Shine
Your Gifts may brighten someone's world
and Inspire someone to follow the dream in their heart

Give to those in need
and share your blessings
wherever you are..whenever you can
A small gesture can change someone's life

Lend a Helping Hand and Heart
without expecting anything in return
Send Arrows of Peace to the wars of the world
Set the spark of Light
to Shine powerfully in the dark
Ignite the Universe
You are one person...
but you are Immeasurably Powerful.
Lend your Light to the World
It has been Waiting for your Love.

Meditations with Victoria: Ignite New Vision and Perspective

2011-02-12T08:59:00.000-08:00

To Ignite New Vision

you must Open your Mind

tilt your head

Feel the sun

be willing to shift Within

be willing to change direction

be willing to recieve new ingredients

and to percieve "Light" coming from New Angles..

IGNITE

To be nourished by new perspectives

will bring you into a New Empowered Alignment

for your Life..

Shifting into new areas....enriches your life

enhances a healthy connection to the world around you

heightens your awareness

and brings balance to the vision of your own life

and the world.

What happens when you ignite new vision?

The ability to seek new perspective

brings you to a balanced space of awareness

where you are able to recieve

New Light-Knowledge-Insights

from

New sources and directions

and most importantly From Within

To be nourished

with a fresh outlook

you must open to a New Way

of thinking..feeling being and creating

Even in everyday life..approach it in a renewed way

Re-ignite your Attitude

In places where there is challenge..

Creative Solutions can come to the forefront

new ideas come to life

new adventures open up

new acceptance and respect for others, your self

and the world also flourishes and shines

Share your vision..Recieve the vision of others

Celebrate your perspective and the perspectives of others

Internal Shifts

If you are feeling stuck or immobile

in some way

it may be time for a New Internal Shift

a beautiful shake within..

something new to stir the spirit

and open your path up in new ways

Open your mind..listen to your heart and spirit

and EXPLORE

Begin to wonder...

what new worlds you may need to discover

to bring you

to an Authentic space within..

find "you"

shift

and

fly

Recieve the nourishment of the Sun and Bloom

You always have the Power to Shine.

You just must be willing

to allow your heart

to guide you there

open your mind ..give it The Empowered Wings

of New Vision and let it do the rest!

*Oils can be used in salad dressings,

spreads, dips., butters..or taken as is with a spoon!

you name it

There are many different preferences out there

how one wishes to use it best..for it's powerful nourishing properties and oils

Tell me your fave way!

It makes a wonderful Natural Hair Gel

Simple to make.. and must be stored in a jar in the fridge

and used within a week!

**For a nice scent**

( as the gel doesn't have much smell appeal..

add an essential/aromatherapy oil you like and stir in)

Natural Flaxseed Hair Gel

To create a small batch

*Take a few handfuls of raw whole flaxseeds

*place in a cheesecloth tie with band

*boil in a small pot with some water

Just so the cheesecloth mixture is sitting in a shallow bath

(you can add more water if needed..)

*Boil till goey gel begins to form

(Keep watch and you can agitate with a wooden spoon if you like)

More comes as you squeeze/press the cheesecloth

*You can let it cool down alittle afterwards when it is safe to handle

*(Take off the stove and out of the pot once it looks like the seeds have been fully activated)

*Then squeeze more goey gel out when cool, push with a wooden spoon and into a bowl..

*Transfer it to a clean bowl and mix to desired thickness, or leave as is..

*Once you are happy put it in a jar.

*add some esseintail oils/aromatherapy scents..

*Leave in fridge

*It may thicken up more

*and you will have to take it out earlier before using it.

*Alittle goes a long way...you don't need much, I am usually giving it away!

*Don't be fooled /even if gel comes out thinly..it is still super sticky and works great to run through hair!

****It take practice to find your secret formula! and what works for you

*It is very ooey gooey..and sticky...but also fun to make!

Try experimenting with your own blend and your own way to make it.

Try it out!

Flaxseed is a

super-nourishing

Healing Sounds; What is your Inner Soundtrack to Harmony?

2011-01-19T08:00:00.000-08:00

Healing Sounds

are every where

and

Every Thing

Connecting with the Power and Beauty of Sound

is not new

we listen to music

we enjoy the sounds of Nature..

water flowing, the rain falling..

birds singing,

trees swaying in the breeze

Sound Healing is ancient

We all have " certain sounds"

that we feel drawn to

and this connection can

create Harmony Within

Singing is another Powerful way

to ignite healing and balance and harmonize

with your body mind and spirit

For those who create with or work with

the Throat Chakra Center,

this is the beautiful energy center

of Sound, Expression, and Creative energies.

Sounds are created through speaking..singing..

it is a direct way of creating with

the Power of Sound

and Sound healing.

Singing or even Humming a single note..

or even a scale can change our energy instantly!

Sounds are Powerful!

Singing is very powerful and Uplifting.

Singing Bowls

are a wonderful way

to connect with

a single perfect tone

H a r m o n y

Uplifting and Peaceful

They can be enjoyed in many ways

..to energize the Body Mind and Spirit,

to align the energy centers

to cleanse space,

to clear energy,

to attune to

new wonderful nourishing vibrations

to simply enjoy,

or to meditate with

Healing sounds can help our energy shift,

and move and flourish and flow more freely

Everything is a sound..

even we are sounds..

everything in our body also hums to a certain sound

All of our organs and cells dance

to a certain tone and frequency

It really is not strange..it is powerfully beautiful!

Music is so nourishing..is there any wonder

Everything in the Universe has a sound..

a vibration..

a magical note that dances

within Creation

Notice what sounds you feel drawn to..

which ones are healing for you..

uplifting

energizing

soothing, calming, relaxing

How does your body respond to different sounds?

What is your Inner Soundtrack to Harmony

This soundtrack may change often or remain!

The Body Mind and Spirit

is like Music...

To find your own

Inner Rhythm

is another Key

to Finding

Your Perfect Harmony

and in Creating

Balance on all levels.

Find your Natural Harmony,

the Music within.

This will Nourish you

and strengthen your Personal Energy

and

Vibration

Sounds can uplift us

amplify our moods

make us feel calm

or even stressed

Using music or sound is

A Great De-stressing tool

What sounds are most healing for you?

I Love this small mini singing bowl..

it fits in the palm of my hand

and it is easy to bring anywhere..

it is beautiful to play outside in nature

It is wonderful to use when you have a small moment..

it can help you reconnect with

your inner space instantly

If you are feeling Mind-Clutter,

it can instantly Take you OUT

of that clutter and brings you Back into FOCUS

I'd say it is like having a peaceful cup of tea..

it is a quick energy balancer..

clears the mind and

is like a "Re-set Button".

Singings Bowl are One way of connecting with sounds..

there are many tools out there..like tuning forks as well etc..

or even playing any instrument..

But you don't need a bowl or anything at all

..it is a wonderful to play

with beautiful tools

but ....

Our most Powerful

Instrument

is an Open Heart

and the Beauty of Nature

Being in Nature

is a Naturally Attuned Environment

that contains Natural Healing

and Natural Energy

we can harmonize with the power of nature

at any time.

It is no secret

and not new

yet it is so powerful..

Even Silence and Stillness

is the most powerful Vibration of Sound

Sitting in Nature can bring us to that inner space

The Natural sound of our Breathing..

flowing in and out is also soothing

Finding that Inner Stillness,

especially in Nature

and Breathing IN

that Power of Nature

and Natural Energy is wonderfully Meditative

Every Flower, leaf and rock that you see..

every star, snowflake and grain of sand

every creature

and every bird flying in the beautiful sky

...carries an Invisible Sound..

The

Magical Sounds

of the Universe.

Music is in All Things

Listen Closely

and you will hear the Voices of Nature

singing to you..

Sounds nourish us

Nurture us

From the time of being inside the womb...

to being a little baby being sung to

by a mother or father,

or falling asleep and feeling safe next to

the sound of a Heart gently beating

sounds are powerful energies..t

they conjure emotions, feelings, connection

We naturally connect to sound

it is how we communicate

sound touches our lives...

Can you imagine a world without music?

Pretty hard to imagine!

Music is the Poetry of life

it is filled with immeasurable tones,

notes and harmonies

and it is a Universal Language

that everyone understands,

responds to..and is touched by!

Sound is healing..Music is Creational

and whatever Inner Music you feel uplifts you

will be another Key ingredient

to Bringing

Harmony to your Life.

Celebrate the Power of Sound.

Luscious Hummus..and variations

2011-01-13T11:34:00.000-08:00

Beneath a Royal Cape

a beautiful secret is waiting

Oh that Luscious Hummus

You may not think it is super-sexy on sight...

but it taste divine..

and there are many creative ways to amplify

this Favorite...

especially if you have an adventurous palate!

The basics of Hummus are well known

Chickpeas aka Garbanzo beans

soaked/softened/cooked

mashed or pureed

with Tahini

Lemon Juice

Garlic

salt/pepper

The Basics

Different variations exist

Find what you like! and build from that recipe!

Enjoy Hummus... simple... as is

add your zing or flare...

if you'd like to change it to your tastes

or take into a new level of flavor!

Hummus is

pure music to me

In this series...

Hummus is the Main Base flavor...

but also has given over to a mixture of tastes..

I have added Red Roasted Peppers

a splash of Olive Oil

To enhance the roasted red pepper taste

( if thats what you want to come on top)

..add a table spoon of Tomato Paste

Italian seasoning..

If you like heat..

Hot sauce or/Mango chili sauce( for some heat)

Roasted garlic is beautiful too..

I have added Greens

such ingredients as

Curly Endive..

you could use any Greens you like..

spinach..rapini ..fresh basil etc

Raw as is..

or Wilt them...with a touch of Olive oil..

beautiful!

IN my verison I have

also added few Sundried Tomates

and one Fresh Tomatoe

just to lift the flavor

sea salt and pepper

blend them all down together

Keep tasting and see what it needs!

If you need a sweetness..

add a teaspoon of agave nectar..

if you enjoy as is..leave it!

use what you like...simple as that!

IF it were summer..

Id be throwing in all my fresh Garden Herbs..

wow..that would be awesome!

I alway create with what I have...

If you cook just for yourself or others or a whole family..

tastes vary...so it can be fun experimenting

with flavors and ingredients that suit everyone!

If you know your own palate well...

then creating flavor-combos will be easy!

I often find it hard giving recipes out..

for my style is intuitive and "in the moment"..

I trust my instincts , use what I have

and depending on the amount

also always changes the ratio of flavors

If you know the basics of ANY recipe..

taking it into Your Realm and re-interpreting it is fun!

I love to encourage intuitive creating..

so try out some flavors you adore

and it makes

such simple sense..

if you know what you like

and understand the

language of flavors

then creating a recipe for yourself is easy!

For others? not always so easy!

Our taste buds can literally exist on different planets!

so this is also another reason

that I often kick up some traditional recipes

in a new way..

like a Hummus..

those I am cooking for

begin to embrace and even enjoy

what I eat...

and it is nice to share a meal.

I tend to know their palates too..

so I can bring a recipe into a flavor-space

they are drawn to...

I love eating hummus as is.....

simply on a bed of lettuce

or greens!

I find this nourishing, grounding

and energy-uplifting..

My food approach is pretty plain and simple

but always flavor-rich!

If you cannot eat breads and such..

it can still be enjoyed..it is wonderful to make.

I prefer to make it all from scratch..

and buy the dried beans, cleaning then soaking them,

cooking them

and then blending them down in a food processor.

From there..any ingredients, spices, seasonings

or flavors you wish to add

or any cooked additions you wish to add..

throw in..blend down..puree...and voila!

If you make a huge batch..

you can set different portions aside..

and even flavor them all differently!

They are wonderful as a dip-spread

for a festive event..

adorn them with some bling to enhance appearance.

Others ... enjoy it with Pita breads, Crackers, Nachos

Garlic bread and Brushettas etc

Hope you enjoyed this spotlight

Do you like Hummus?

Do you ever make variations?

Morning Meditations with Victoria: Reflecting on Forgiveness

2010-11-04T11:04:00.000-07:00

Forgiveness releases you
breaks apart chains
breaks down walls
frees you from captivity
opens windows, bringing the presence of Healing Light

Forgiveness sets you free

Forgiveness creates the Miracle of Peace
it fuels the Power of Love
it allows the Breath of Life to flow in harmony
Forgiveness opens the world to a New Interval of Love
it gives Wings to what burdens you and carries it Away

Forgiveness is like an Angel of Release
standing with you, holding your burden
so that grief can find joy and renewal
Let go
it was never yours to hold

letting go
releases you from the dark,
warms you from a cold cave of sorrow and anger
and transforms you slowly,
gently and divinely
inside a New Space where you can breathe again,
Believe again
and find Joy once again

Forgiveness frees you from the Old World
and ignites you with the Lantern of Life ..
Guiding you into a New World

Forgiveness is a Beautiful Doorway
with music you have never heard before
A Doorway, that will give you the Power to move on
to the other side,
to create in the Wisdom that you have been given
and to Transform everything
into Love once again.

Find love in yourself , forgive others, those who have hurt you and especially.. forgive yourself.
Forgive again and again...and you will be given
an Empowered World
that Shines only in Love
and Creates always in Peace
and heals and restores all that is broken
into Joy, Wholeness, Beauty and New Life.

Return to your Self
Return to Love
Restore your heart, mind and spirit
Give yourself the gift of Peace.

Morning Meditations with Victoria: Return to Center: The Empowered Space

2010-10-20T13:28:00.000-07:00

Staying Centered
Brings you into an Empowered space of Awareness
The Space of being fully "Awake"
The space where you are inside the Stillness
*
Staying Centered
Keeps you at ONE with the Universe Within
Keeps you grounded in the Wisdom of NOW
Keeps your mind in alignment with the Truth, just as it is
Keeps you in the Beautiful Calm amidst movement and ripple
Keeps you Balanced, instead of swaying
Keeps you ignited in clarity
and keeps your Focus attuned
to a greater good that serves your wellbeing always.

To be Fully Centered is to be Empowered in the Presence of Harmony
And inside that Harmonic Space you become renewed and nourished
you become grounded in Substance and in Truth
And in that truth,
you will always grow ....directly towards the path of the shining sun
Your unique path guides you, is perfect for you
and is always in alignment with your True Self.
Any other road or direction..takes longer...is unclear and leads you away from your path

Whenever you feel lost....Return to Center..
re-align
re-ignite..
wait..
and when you are ready .....your wings will grow
and in that Centered Space of Awareness
you will receive True Knowing
It will show you the most divine and perfect way meant for you.
The Centered Space embodies balance and freedom
and it is only there
that you are offered the keys to Flying in Truth
and Finding Harmony for your life.

Morning Meditations with Victoria: The Spirit of Abundance

2010-09-29T13:06:00.000-07:00

The Spirit of Abundance
is a Secret Dream unfolding it's Treasures to you
*
The Spirit of Abundance
brings light and beauty and joy
to those with arms open wide
*
Abundance
comes in many Forms
It is quiet yet powerful
*
It is only Invisible to those
who close their eyes and heart
*
Open your eyes to all that is Within
and all that is around you
Abundance is a Gift
It blesses us
Nourishes the soul
expands life
Brings gratitude into peaceful focus
*
Look at all the Gifts in your life
Shine in Gratitude

When Abundance blesses your life
Share it
When someone offers Abundance to you..
Recieve it
Honor the Spirit of Abundance
keep the current flowing
*
Be abundant and generous
with your Kindness and Love
*

Be Thankful
for the Abundance
in Nature, the Bounty of the Earth
In your Life,
your Health
in opportunities you recieve
in your freedoms
In the dreams you are creating
in the blessings of friendship
and family, community
*
Feel the gratitude
for your Life's Beautiful Unfolding Journey
and Revisit the Meaningful Treasures
of wisdom
that you have been given along the way
*
Thank those who have been generous to you in some way
and Appreciate those Souls who richly embody
the Spirit of Abundance
*
Abundance may not always come
in the form you expect
Honor the offering.... however it is given
Appreciate the Creative Expression
of Abundance
and how it shows up in your life
to bless you

When you truly feel Abundant Peacefulnesss within
..you will no longer be able to count all your blessings..
for they become Immeasurable and Infinite
and Ever-expanding Treasures.

Morning Meditations with Victoria: Simplicity's Peaceful Destiny

2010-09-05T06:42:00.000-07:00

Simplicity
Sings in Light
and Joy
Simplicity Creates Clarity and Focus
It is a powerful force that
Restores the Soul
it Lightens the Heart
Lessens Pain
Heals what is Broken
Clears the Path
Opens the Space
Carries only what is Divine
Lets go of All that Burdens
Heals and transforms
the rough edges of the dark
and makes them into smooth energies of light
*
Simplicity is a feather
Carrying only itself
Carrying the True Purpose it is intended for
and nothing else that does not belong to it.
IT knows it is boundless and limitless
in it's Natural State
and limited when attached
to what it does not truly need
*
Simplicity
adorns the Spirit with Only what it needs
It teaches you to remember ..that in this Space of Being
You can Only and always FLY
*
Simplicity gives you Wings
It cuts away the dark, the deadened parts
the jagged rocks
and brings you into the Arms of the Sky
where you are
Empowered and Free
and you could never ever be caged again.
*
When you Embrace Simplicity
You embrace your True Power to Be
all that you Are and all that you came here to Be.
There is nothing in the way to clutter you
your path, your mind or your heart
..you can finally see and become.
You are at One with your Truest Self
and the Peaceful Destiny that calls you.

Mornings Meditations with Victoria~ A Jewel inside the Soul

2010-08-31T21:06:00.000-07:00

There is a Jewel
inside the Soul
that carries healing.
It sweeps away the sadness
to reveal
lightness and joy
*
It finds it's way through
the deepest dark
Empowering the Presence of Light
And teaches you that the Power of your Strength
Has always been there
and it is an Unbreakable Spirit.
This Spirit Is Love
This Spirit Moves and Grows and Guides you
with the Power of Love always
In this space
you are never alone.
~Victoria Pettella~

*

A Single Tear Falls
so that The Heart
May Finally Open
...Open itself
to Heal
to Accept
and Begin anew
*
Allow each tear to fall gently
upon the Heart
And Like a Flower's petals
closed in prayer...
It will Awaken
to know..
that it has been Answered
Opening like Wings
with Renewed Purpose.
The Sun will remain..warming a Peaceful Awareness around your Soul
and Illuminating all things within the Heart.
