~Oils for use in incense and in Aromatherapy ~
The uses of incense and oils date back to biblical times and have been used by many enhancing magical essences and healing properties.
Incense and aroma oils have an effect on our atmosphere and moods; they promote healing and have many purposes.
The Indians make natural incense in the holy mountains of the Himalayas these are handmade and recommended as they are the most natural form of incense available still today. Be careful not to buy cheap artificial incense and always best to know the Source of where they are derived and created.
When purchasing aroma oils take note: True ESSENTIAL OILS are plant derived & entirely natural, and are believed to possess numerous healing qualities. Look for Essential Oil on the label as there is no therapeutic benefit from synthetic versions.

~**Age of Aquarius **~

The Aquarian alignment 14th February 2009
We measure our global sense of both space (latitude and longitude) and time (universal time - UT or GMT) from the prime meridian located at Greenwich, England. So we can perceive the collective influence of this momentous astrological event by looking at the alignment from this globally ‘centered' perspective.
When we do something extraordinary and exquisite emerges
At dawn on 14th February the day dedicated to St Valentine, the patron saint of Love, the Moon in Libra enters the seventh house of relationships. And Jupiter and Mars are aligned in Aquarius in the twelfth house of spiritual transformation.
Forty years ago, the intuitive words of a song called Aquarius, brought the dawning of the new age into our collective awareness:
When the Moon is in the seventh house
and Jupiter aligns with Mars.
Then peace will guide the planets
and love will steer the stars
At dawn on 14th February the Cosmos actually embodies this perfect alignment to support our collective manifestation of love and peace and dawning of the Age of Aquarius.
The Aquarian chart of 14th February reveals an incredible concentration of cosmic influences blending with the energies of Aquarius in the twelfth house. Expansive Jupiter and energetic Mars are aligned with the higher purpose of the North Node. The presence of Chiron the wounded healer offers us the opportunity to heal the schisms that have separated us for so long. Neptune emphasizes collective humanitarian movements and the co-creation of social justice. And the presence of the radiant Sun enlightens the entire alignment.
Mercury also in the twelfth house but just beyond the cusp in Capricorn, allies with transformational Pluto to communicate and anchor the Shift throughout our global structures and institutions.
The Moon in Libra in the seventh house emphasizes harmonious real -ationships.
Venus in Aries in the first house energizes and empowers dynamic co-creativity.
And whilst Saturn the great task master in opposition to Uranus the unexpected awakener is suggesting an ongoing confrontation as the dregs of the unsustainable old paradigm reluctantly give way to the untested hope of the new, their placements in Virgo and Pisces brings practical altruism and visionary inspiration to the transition.
At 7.25am on 14th February - and for the 18 minutes of the alignment, I invite you, in the universal heart, to add your own intention for love and peace and to co-create the dawning of the Age of Aquarius to that of the Cosmos. In whatever way feels appropriate for you, you may choose to align with7.25am (UT) or 7.25am your own local time energizing a wave of intention that will surge around the Earth.
Please feel free to circulate this information, the Aquarian chart and its cosmic invitation to birth the Age of Aquarius.

*~Valentines Day~*

~*Valentines Day *~

I was just reflecting on this day and wanted to share some thoughts.
Everyone will have different beliefs and feelings about this day~

Some will feel alone and lost.
Some will be thinking of a past love they still have feelings for.
Some will have no partner and no love in their life.
Some will be grieving the loss of a dear loved one.
Some will share it with a loved one.
Some will be wondering whether the new person they met is the one.
Some will spend it with their children or grandchildren.
A loved one is away from home.
The list goes on and on ~

So really when you think about the World as ONE and ALL people are deserving of love and happiness. Try to change your viewpoint and look at this day in a new light.

If you feel lost and alone find some thing to do which will bring you joy and laughter. Look back on the love relationship/s you have had and write a list of what you learnt from the connection. Find some positives about the journey you have travelled and the growth you experienced. There is always a positive in a negative if you are prepared to look within and change your viewpoint.

If there is no one in your life and maybe you wish you had that some one special to share your dreams and desires with.
Write a letter to your angels and within this letter request what you are looking for in a love relationship. Go over it and change it as many times you want until it feels right. Then seal it in an envelope and physically post it you can address it this way or create your own ~

The Divine Creator of the Universe
Attention: My angels and guides
Address: Love and happiness

So you are actually sending a message to your celestial helpers to bring into your life the love you are seeking and searching for.


Your loved one passed away and life hasn’t been the same without them. The grief is still there and these times are hard to endure. Grab a journal or a writing pad and write down all the happy cherished memories you shared together in love. Yes you may cry and laugh or feel their presence in Spirit. You will realise the memories you shared are forever with you in your heart. Just revisiting those times is precious and will never end or leave you; they are imprinted within you forever eternally.

So you have a loved one whom you are currently with, this day is a perfect day to show them gratitude and thank them for being there for you. Kind gestures and reuniting the soul spark of the love union. Discussing special memories and enjoying each other .Imagine your lives without them for 2 minutes and remember that no retail expense can change the love you feel. But always remember love isn’t measured with material possessions it is measured by unconditional acceptance.

If you have new person in your life, plan a romantic evening together and begin to create some memories and experiences. Or just have some fun and get to know each other … Remember … The Angels Way is frolic and play ….Create the magic you want in your life ….

If you are spending the day with your children or grandchildren make it a fun day teach them about love. Have some fun together and thank God for the blessings you have in your life. For without the union of love and togetherness there would be no children to love.

**Your life is a gift, your choices are your own, and you create your own destiny **

**May this Valentines Day open the door to seeing love in a new way **

Love and light Samantha :)

~*Angel message to share *~

~Some inspiration ~

Wanted to share with you some quotes I came across very powerful and inspiring enjoy~

Anthony Robbins quotes~

“You are now at a crossroad.This is your opportunity to make the most important decision you will ever make. Forget your past. Who are you now? Who have you decided you really are now? Don't think about who you have been. Who are you now? Who have you decided to become? Make this decision consciously. Make it carefully. Make it powerfully.”


“I believe life is constantly testing us for our level of commitment, and life’s greatest rewards are reserved for those who demonstrate a never-ending commitment to act until they achieve. This level of resolve can move mountains, but it must be constant and consistent. As simplistic as this may sound, it is still the common denominator separating those who live their dreams from those who live in regret.”


“More than anything else, I believe it's our decisions, not the conditions of our lives that determine our destiny.”

“A real decision is measured by the fact that you've taken a new action. If there's no action, you haven't truly decided.”

“All personal breakthroughs begin with a change in beliefs. So how do we change? The most effective way is to get your brain to associate massive pain to the old belief. You must feel deep in your gut that not only has this belief cost you pain in the past, but it's costing you in the present and, ultimately, can only bring you pain in the future. Then you must associate tremendous pleasure to the idea of adopting a new, empowering belief.”

Nothing has any power over me other than that which I give it through my conscious thoughts.”
