Yellow Point Country Christmas

This weekend, I was part of a Christmas Artisan Tour.
Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, folks followed a map in my area to all the little home-based businesses.
This year we had the most participants ever.
25 artisans took part.
I was very happy with the all the wonderful friendly customers that came to my door. I drummed on my djembe as they browsed my "store".
Loads of fun.

Happiness and Self-Love

On Tuesday evening, the moderator chose the card:

"You are responsible for your own happiness.

Happiness never comes from outside of you. If you put your happiness in someone else's hands, they can always take it away.

Happiness can only come from inside of you and is the result of your love."

~Don Miguel Ruiz from The Mastery of Love

On Wednesday afternoon,

the topic will be the quote:

"Emotional pain is a symptom of being abused.

Every time we lie to ourselves, judge ourselves, or reject ourselves, our emotional reaction isn't pleasant. The pain is letting us know that we have to do something to stop the abuse."

~Don Miguel Ruiz from The Voice of Knowledge

ASSumptions

On Tuesday evening the 4 Agreement Wisdom Group will discuss the thought:
"All of the drama humans suffer is the result of believing in lies, mainly about ourselves.
The first lie we believe is "I am not the way I should be; I am not perfect." It's just a story, but we believe it, and we stop being ourselves and start searching for an image of perfection."
~ don Miguel Ruiz from The Voice of Knowledge

On Wednesday afternoon at 3:30, the support group will ponder the Agreement. "Don't make assumptions."

"Assume nothing. In any kind of relationship, we can make the assumption that others know what we think and we don't have to say what we want.
We assume they are going to do what we want because they know us so well. If they don't do what we want, we feel hurt and think, how could you do that? You should know."
~ don Miguel Riuz from The Four Agreements

Shine Edgar Shines with the Didgeridoo

We had a small but very keen turn out for Shine Edgar's Didge lessons.
We were treated to some amazing didging that dug into my soul.
Shine explains how he uses his didge-playing as a channel for the divine, and his upraised hand is like an antenna to assist in tuning in.

I thoroughly enjoyed myself.

Thank you Shine and Edysha!

Dream Pipe, Yirdaki, Didjeridu

Shine Edgar is returning for another round of lessons on Monday.
Last time we were treated to a private heartfelt concert as well as some fine instruction.
I encourage anyone to come and experience this primal portal into the Self.
So what is the difference between a Yirdaki and a Dream Pipe or a Didge?
Here is a great article about that. It is also very informative about
Australia.

Miracles, Forgiveness and Action

On Tuesday evening, the Wisdom Group will contemplate the suggestion:
"Always do your best.
Take action on your ideas. Doing your best means to take action. You can have many great ideas in your head. But without action upon an idea, there will be no manifestation, no results, and no reward."
~Don Miguel Ruiz from The Four Agreements

On Wednesday afternoon, a participant volunteered the subject:
"Miracles happen when you forgive.
You are born with the capacity to forgive, but you learn the opposite behaviour.
You learn not to forgive, you practice not to forgive, and you master not to forgive. When you learn to let go of your pride and ask for forgiveness, miracles start to happen in your life."
~Dom Miguel Ruiz, quotes from The Four Agreements

Taking Risks

On Tuesday evening we will be contemplating the imagining: "Imagine living your life without being afraid to take a risk and explore life."

On Wednesday, we will see if the group comes up with a topic on that day.
