PREVIOUS NEXT 14th April 2026…Welcome back to the blog. This week I'm progressing my spring cleaning with some changes to my self care rituals. I've been listening to my Gaia Frequency meditations while I do my saunas and I'm doing 3 saunas a week for a bit of a detox boost! I've always loved heat therapy as part of my routine. I do a lot of dancing and barefoot walking so routines that help my muscles relax and recover (sauna, red light therapy and yoga) really help! I do have a tendency to try to be productive though - ending up listening to audio books (like the entire "Ra Material"!) and doing research for rituals I'm working on. It's not good to be too productive. If you don't allow time for integration and grounding, you don't really gain anything. So for the rest of this month, I'm going to stick to music during my saunas to make sure I'm leaving space in my life for inspiration, healing and balance. Although, I need to be careful not to choose music I'll start choreographing to in my head for my down time or I'll defeat the object! The garden is looking gorgeous. I know Spider has plans for tidying up the harrow, and the bird garden soon - but I'm expecting those to take effect towards the end of summer. But in the meantime, I'm starting the regular watering and feeding protocols for my beloved Star Jasmine and Roses. I'll share some pictures as the garden blooms. The sparrows are out in force and it's fun to see how they don't mind me or my dogs now. They don't pipe out warnings or fly away when we're out there - and when they land on the grass and Alf or Toffee runs towards them to chase them, they hop into a bush only inches away - they're not bothered at all! It's very cute. In other news, I've scheduled some rituals for a family member who's currently going through grief after the unexpected and sudden loss of a very dear friend and band mate. Life is so short and so precious. Appreciate everything! It's so easy to get distracted by stress and the general business of daily living; but life happens and our consciousness and energy can become completely tied up with the details if we don't mindfully take those moments out to deeply ground and reconnect with our higher spiritual aspects. I used to (as a young witchy child) meditate on being on my deathbed as a way to remind myself what was important. Some people focus on negativity, judgment and cynicism habitually and never realise that when they're on their deathbed, they won't be thinking their petty grudges and all the wrongs people have done them; they won't be mulling over the things that stressed them out in general! No one's last words are "Tell the inland revenue their complicated online forms made my life a misery" or "Tell my next door neighbour their loud music on Sunday ruined my entire existence and I won't forgive them". No one does. So I stand by my "deathbed thinking" meditation - if it won't matter then, it shouldn't take over my life now. It might seem kinda depressing for some people and maybe in the midst of depression or an existential crisis, it wouldn't be a good way to explore your priorities for some people. But it's a round about way of counting your blessings and working out what really matters to you. Those are my musings for the week. Stay tuned and come back soon. Make sure you're following my social media (links at the bottom of the page) for daily inspiration. Oh yes, you can also follow me on Substack now - I'm posting the daily energy updates there too. Bright blessings x Maya 5th April 2026…Welcome back to the blog. It's been a busy week here - setting up attunements for my students, working some tailored rituals, and starting a Luring Moon Cycle at the Full Moon to manifest healing, abundance and blessings. It doesn't feel like work when you love what you do! But I notice I haven't updated my blog for a while. Yesterday was a day of celebration for one of my familiar spirits - Tipsy the cat passed from old age this time last year. She has definitely been making her presence felt around my home since then - and recently, we actually caught her as a light orb on the camera we have in the dogs' bedroom. I wrote about her in a previous update - check it out here The orb event was compelling…I only noticed it because I was awake late (doing a ritual!), and afterwards, I went to the kitchen. I suspected it might have disturbed one of my dogs who will sit there awake, unless I tell him to go to sleep. So I looked in on the camera to see if he settled back down or if I'd need to go out there and say goodnight. He was sitting there looking around though...so for 5 minutes I watched the camera to see if he would settle. Then, a light appeared above his head, and moved in a fast arc, down his back and towards the door. He looked towards it, and then laid down, put his head down, and went to sleep. I think Tipsy might have been settling him back to sleep for me! Either that, or it was some kind of bionic fly - we didn't think it could be though because it moved super fast and in a very straight line kind of thing. Plus, it appeared out of nowhere in an enclosed space. Also, it was very small - very, very small. If it had been a fly it could only have been a fruit fly type - and they don't fly in straight lines. So, we both decided it was most likely Tipsy. She may have been more energised because I'd been working a ritual just before that happened, and my familiars remain within my temple - some are concerned mostly with protection during times they’re not assisting me with a spell or attunement - but Tipsy (not her magickal name), has her own ordinances to attend to. Plus she's new to the astral and will still be finding her wings! Other than that, I've been feeling really creative and energised by the season. I know many people experience depression due to the absence of sunlight in the winter months - I think I kind of pine for the greenery during the winter months! So now that everything blooming into life, I'm blooming too! It's always a pleasant surprise when I take the dogs into the garden for a bathroom break, but find the sun is shining, and the birds are singing, and my 5 minute excursion becomes a 20 minute matcha tea break - soaking up the healing light, abundance and blessings of the season! Green is the colour of the heart chakra centre...sitting in nature, absorbing that green frequency can be a powerful practice! Energy wise, I've been continuing my work with Quan Yin and working on a new composition of the Mani Mantra (Om Mani Padme Hum). I think I'll be continuing to with that connection primarily until I've completed the channelling. It will be released for Soul Tribe members first - but keep an eye out for that later this year. Anyway...hoping you all have a brilliant Easter and spend some time connecting with the energy of the Ascended Master Jesus in whatever way resonates best with you. If you would like to try some energy healing to channel those higher heart centred loving frequencies, here are a few ideas: The Healing Touch of Jesus Attunements, Sacred Heart of Jesus Empowerment, Ascended Masters Attunements, and the Christ Consciousness Flush Empowerment. Wishing you peace, prosperity and progress in all you do this week! XX Maya 21st March 2026...My Equinox rituals went brilliantly - and I got this lovely photo of some morning sunlight as I enjoyed a well earned cup of matcha before the midday ritual. There's blossom in the garden...you can't really see it in the picture - but the blackthorn is in bloom, and one of the hawthorn trees is too. It really feels like the earth is waking up - every day is a little greener and brighter. The perfect time to connect with Mama Gaia with some Gaia Frequency sound meditations (I've been listening to the Forest Bathing ones that I channelled last year - available to stream on all the music platforms), while connecting with the Earth Energy Boost (Ascension Gateway Upgrade) energies. Grounding is so essential for your natural protection and health on the healing journey - and this time of year, when you're watching everything come to life and bloom - it can help you to appreciate the importance of maintaining your roots. We derive nourishment on a spiritual level by maintaining our roots. Our connection to family and friends...to our planet...to our ancestors...to the light-beings and deities that encourage and inspire us. Whenever you're going through a turbulent time and feeling unsettled, remember your roots! You're never alone XXX Wishing you all a blessed and beautiful weekend XX Maya 10th March 2026…Welcome back to the blog! This week's been a bit of a flurry of blessings here. I don't know how many times I've had to take a pause in my day to express my gratitude - but I'm certainly not complaining! The magpies have returned after wintering somewhere further afield - so the garden activity is picking up! I can see they're nesting close by so I reckon there'll be some babies soon. Spider got me a new guitar! That was a surprise! And I'm so picky with my musical instruments I was even more surprised that I love it! It's a Yamaha 3/4 size electro acoustic - just my jam! So I've been messing around with some new chord progressions in the evenings. And that wasn't the only unexpected gift I received this week - I was also given a beautiful silver necklace with heart motifs around it. A gift from a good friend who deals in antiques and has great taste! So all in all, the beginning of March has had a kind of celebratory vibe here at Mayastar! Energetically, I've been drawn to work with Lotus Fountain Healing and Usui Reiki this week - connecting with Quan Yin during my healing sessions. She is the goddess of compassion, love and mercy; she can help us to restore our inner peace, get in touch with our emotions, release the past and heal the heart. But she can also help us to develop our spiritual gifts of intuition, healing and creativity. My focus with my meditations with Quan Yin this week is creativity - as I work on new dance rituals and invocations. So when a new guitar and a necklace with heart-stations around it suddenly appear in my life, I feel like the Goddess is offering me guidance and support in practical ways too. I've no doubt the necklace is intended for use in a ritual! I didn't know it at the time, but the High Priestess of my first coven (back in the early 90s) had a special devotion to Quan Yin; at that time I worked predominantly with Celtic and Norse deities...so even if Quan Yin had been mentioned, it wouldn't have meant very much to me. I connected with Quan Yin maybe 15 years later - and it was through energy healing practices that our relationship developed. And later, I did some channelling through her and a number of attunement courses manifested through those channellings...Quan Yin's Compassionate Heart, Lotus Fountain Healing, Light Sanctuary Activation, Ocean of Intuition 3rd Eye Activation, Centre of Stillness, Constellation of Bliss...all of these modalities were communicated through Quan Yin. Quan Yin is also approached in the New Age as a Chohan of the 8th or 11th Ray - symbolised by pearlescent white light. If you would like to learn more about her or connect with her energy, I recommend Quan Yin's Compassionate Heart Healing as a great place to start; but the Lotus Fountain Healing course is one that can really help you to get into a flow state creatively and energetically. Whatever you're doing this week, I hope you'll stay tuned to your higher light - follow your soul - and find much to be grateful for! XXX With blessings, Maya XXX 4th March 2026…Welcome back to the blog! This update is accompanied by a photograph of the Full Crow Moon which coincided with the 3/3 Portal this year. The 3/3 portal resonates with energetic frequencies that express celebration, abundance, stability, cooperation and healing. As such, I was inspired by my familiar spirits to work a special Blessing Ritual Intensive that included the Lakshmi Dance of Prosperity Ritual, the Goddess Aradia Dance of Desire & Abundance, and Melusine Dance of Mystery & Magick. This working was for a select group as I could only accommodate a few people for this ritual as I working all 3 of the ceremonies within a day! It was very powerful - and at the time of writing, I've just woken up from a LOOOONG sleep to catch up on the sleep I missed by getting up so early for the first ritual of the day! But my workings didn't stop there because last night was the opening ceremony for the Luring Moon Abundance Alignment 30-Day Ritual Intensive - which harnesses the power of the full moon, but which was massively amplified in energy, frequency and scope, by the 3/3 Portal, as well as the lunar eclipse. It's been such a powerful start to the month - and with the Equinox approaching, I'm feeling my own vitality and creativity grow. The photograph of the moon was taken around 9pm - shining through the branches of a majestic oak tree (me and Spider affectionately call "King Oak") - so I was between rituals at that time and feeling very energised. I spent a little time moon gazing in the garden, absorbing the light, and connecting with the Great Mother. The rituals we work throughout our lives become more powerful over time as we build experience and deeper connection to them. And for me, those rituals that connect with the lunar phases are the most potent. Coming back to the moon throughout the month, feeling the shifts in energy, and connecting with those tides to support my spell- casting and rituals means that time spent sitting in the moonlight, feels like time with my ancestors or family; it's like checking in, touching base, and regaining perspective - all in one simple act. If you would like to learn to connect with those currents, I recommend the Ocean Mother Full Moon Initiation attunement course as well as the Solar & Lunar Light Empowerments. But any connection with divine feminine/yin energy can help you to connect more deeply with the moon and develop your own rituals. So you could also check out Quan Yin's Compassionate Heart Healing, Wheel of Light Starseed Activation: Lemurian Goddess Amara Attunement, Whispers of the Goddess Series: Aradia of the Silver Star, and Goddess Isis Unveiled Radiance Healing. I hope the 3/3 Full Moon Portal energy was as powerful and healing for you as it was for me and my clients this year! Wishing you all peace, prosperity and progress in all you do XX With blessings, Maya XXX If this energy update sparked something in your soul, you can show your appreciation by buying me a coffee.
