PREVIOUS NEXT 23rd November 2025...Welcome back to the blog! It's been a few weeks since my last update and a lot's been happening here at the Mayastar Temple! On a personal note, Spider and I have been taking some time to celebrate his birthday - and there's nothing like celebrating the fact that you're still alive and blessed with greater love and wisdom to help you tune into deep gratitude. So we've both had a lot to be thankful for this month - and much to smile about. The weather turned distinctly frosty this week - very wintry mornings. I've even had to make smashing up the ice in the bird bath part of my morning routine! Some of the trees around my garden are completely bare...and others are well on their way to fully releasing what no longer serves them! Spending time in nature is always a sacred pursuit...but spending time meditating with the trees is so spiritually nourishing. It's the perfect time of year for releasing what no longer serves us too - and reflecting on the way that the dead leaves nourish the soil, creating new life and opportunities in the future, can be a potent reflection. We all want to grow and evolve and bring our lives into alignment with our highest spiritual principles...but what are we willing and ready to let go of in order to create space for that growth? A few days ago I started a new Killing Moon Karmic Reversal 30-Day Ritual Intensive...a powerful ritual of release - that's amplified during the Autumn and Winter months. It's an energetic cleansing that can liberate the spirit from the attachments and negative energy that keep us from progressing our path to wholeness. These attachments are the energetic ties to experiences, people, places and habits of the past, that we haven't let go of, and which create patterns within the energy field that keep us connected with limitations. Essentially it's a deep healing - a way of restoring balance to the energy body so that life-force energy can once again flow freely. Bringing us into a deeper resonance with our higher aspects, helping us to discover new possibilities, and restoring our perspective. As the trees release and renew, so can we. This week's special offers are two of my favourite courses - the Starseed Psychic Activations, and the Universal Rays Attunements. The Starseed Psychic Activations is a series of 10 attunements that cleanse and activate your chakra system, and strengthen your psychic awareness, intuition and channelling abilities. Psychic development isn't only about getting hunches and insights about the future - it's also about tuning into subtle energies, the invisible realms, and our intuition. Working with these energies regularly can help you interpret synchronicities, symbols and dreams; it can also help you strengthen your psychic sensitivity - sensing the different vibrations of energy around you, and during your healing practices. The Universal Rays course connects you with the 7 Chohans (Ascended Masters) connected with different colours and frequencies that also correspond with the chakra system. In other news, I'm switching up my morning and evening meditation routine. The colder weather means spending my morning meditation in the garden isn't always possible, so I've been in consultation with my guides and deciding how I want to focus those sessions - I allocate 10- 20 minutes in the morning for my meditation and about 30 minutes in the evening when i combine it with yoga. With the festive season approaching, I like to make my meditation routine adaptable - something that I can perform within the Temple or in the garden - and something where the time of day doesn't matter rather than those where I’m observing the sunrise or sunset. I'm going to be working with some sacred perfume essences and crystals to amplify the energies I'm choosing to work with. My morning sessions will be centred on the Crystal Rose Attunement - connecting with the loving, soothing, healing energies of Rose Quartz - it's a great balancing energy - heart-centred and gentle; and then for my evening meditation, I'll be balancing that with the Polaris Activation (Peace, Protection & Power) - which I find is a very grounding practice but also one that can help to bring you into alignment with your higher self through dreams if you use it before you go to sleep at night. But other than choosing the essences and energies I'll be using for each practice, I will leave it open ended; so I can complete these meditations in the Temple (at the start and end of my work), in the bath, during my Yin Yoga practice, or while I'm doing my photobiomodulation sessions - which is the last thing I do before bed, and after completing the evening's rituals, spells and attunements. I always check in about a week or two into my new routine to see if I want to make any changes, but I feel a connection with the Crystal Rose and Polaris Activation will create a perfect balance of energies. Always be guided by your intuition when you're defining your own practice - and connect with your higher self for inspiration whenever you feel blocked or unsure. Your higher self will guide you to the most powerful and spiritually nurturing practices for you. And if you want to make energy healing part of your practice, email me and let me know what your goals are - I'll be happy to make personalised recommendations for you from the wide range of energy healing modalities I work with and teach XX Have a magickal week XX Maya XX 1st November 2025...Welcome back to the blog! And I must start by apologising for the quiet spell...well, it wasn't quiet here at the Mayastar Temple - but at this time of year, that's to be expected. Last night was Samhain - and today marks the beginning of the Celtic New Year. It's a truly magickal time and I've been working with a number of clients, supporting them in choosing the magickal rituals, spells and services that will help them in their own journey to wholeness. This time of year, with the veil between the worlds at its most tenuous, we can access the hidden areas of the psyche and the darker corners of the energy field - allowing access for transformation, deep healing and cleansing our lives of negativity, stagnation and blocks. But in other news...the shed is up! Yes - me and Spider put in a long day's work and just as I suspected, we had great fun doing it. I definitely think a lot of what makes a good relationship great is a shared work ethic! And maybe the fact that both of us stay healthy, fit and active helps too. But yes, it was a really brilliant day - we laughed a lot and wound up chilling on the sofa and watching Shrek in the evening - both aglow with satisfaction and smiles. I also had a great time with my mum - she visited recently and it was great to catch up, share some tasty treats and talk about the various rabbit holes we've both been exploring on YouTube! Honestly, sometimes the blessings are flowing so fast you can hardly keep up with your gratitude journaling - and recent weeks have been very much like that for me. On a rather more whimsical note, I treated myself to the new Tamagotchi Paradise! I think I got my first Tamagotchi in the early 2000s - and I had a couple of the newer ones after that, but the Paradise edition is phenomenal in comparison! It has a colour screen and is back lit - that's a great thing for me! Because of my sensory processing issues, I live most of my day in low light conditions, and in those low light conditions, the old LCD Tama screen was hard to see. The new one also has more games within the game - so when I'm winding down and grounding between Temple Work sessions, I can work on my Tama planet, collect my bio-fuel, and progress my Tama lineage! This week, I've been working with Attraction Reiki - which is also on the special offer this week. If you've been reading this blog for a while, you probably know I've been choosing my focus and intentions for the next 12 months. That's something that I tend to do from my birthday in September, up to the beginning of the Celtic New Year; then I have a couple of months where I start making changes, course-correcting, getting organised, and bringing in the energies that will support my goals and ambitions. Attraction Reiki is great for that - for focusing your intentions, and enhancing your manifesting work in general. I've also celebrated the season by getting the slow cooker back out, and preparing some hearty stews and soups! There's nothing like a tasty, nutritious dinner that cooks itself while you're busy doing other things! I often associate cooking in the slow cooker with Bear Medicine - an energy that I connect with during seasonal shifts - as we move into and out of the darker months, Bear can help us to adapt and stay grounded. I also find Bear energy is a great current to connect with for self-care, nourishment, nurturing and comfort - a very healing frequency. Anyway, I'll be back soon, so stay tuned for more mystical musings coming soon! But in the meantime, I wish you peace, prosperity and progress in all you do!
