1. Transformation and Renewal: Even in the darkest times, new beginnings are possible, and healing is always within reach.

Dear Beloved,

The owl is a symbol of wisdom, intuition, and spiritual insight. It offers you several positive messages:

1. Embrace Wisdom: Owls remind us to seek knowledge and grow wiser through life’s challenges. There is always more to learn.
2. Trust Intuition: The owl teaches us to trust our inner voice, even when logic doesn’t provide answers. Your intuition is often wiser than external opinions.
3. Find Clarity in Darkness: Even in tough times, the owl shows that there is always a way forward with patience and focus. The truth will reveal itself, even in the darkest times.
4. Embrace Change: The owl symbolizes life’s cycles, encouraging you to see change as a path to growth. Change leads to new beginnings.
5. Observe Before Acting: Owls teach mindfulness and careful decision-making through patient observation. Reflect before you act—silence speaks volumes.
6. Balance Light and Dark: The owl reminds you to accept both your light and shadow selves as necessary for growth. Embrace both your light and your shadow.
7. Seek Truth: The owl encourages a continuous search for deeper truths in life. Never stop seeking the truth.
8. Quiet Strength: The owl’s silent strength teaches resilience through calm and patience. Strength comes from stillness.
9. Embody Courage: Owls inspire you to face challenges with courage, even when you are alone. Face fears with courage to discover your potential.

May Owl remind you to trust your inner wisdom, seek clarity, and embrace life’s changes in 2025 with courage and patience.

Dear Beloved,

Buddha’s teachings offer you timeless wisdom for modern life. Key principles include:

1. Impermanence: Everything is transient, and recognizing this will help you reduce attachment and increase resilience.
2. Suffering: Suffering comes from attachment and craving; understanding this can reduce stress and dissatisfaction.
3. Mindfulness: Being present and aware of your thoughts and actions promotes clarity and well-being.
4. Compassion: Practicing kindness and empathy fosters harmony and healing.
5. The Middle Way: Avoid extremes and embrace balance for inner peace.
6. The Four Noble Truths & Eightfold Path: These guide you to understand suffering and follow a path to wisdom, ethical living, and mental discipline. Learn more here.
7. Non-Self: Letting go of rigid self-concepts leads to freedom and reduces suffering.
8. Equanimity: Cultivating inner balance helps us face challenges with calm and clarity.

Buddha’s teachings inspire a life of mindfulness, compassion, and balance, with relevance to modern psychology and social harmony. May they inspire you in 2025.

Hold on to and nurture your dreams. It may take years for them to come to fruition, or just a few weeks. Trust in Divine Timing. The key is not to doubt them. Dive into your bliss and keep moving forward, one inspired action at a time.

May your dreams come true.

Years ago, I was approached by Dean Roger Whalen, newly appointed rector of the Anglican Cathedral of St John the Baptist here in St. John’s Newfoundland, to chat about labyrinths. He and Sue Cummings, lay minister, formed a committee to explore the possibilities of creating a permanent indoor labyrinth inside the church.

At that point, I’d walked several labyrinths and painted quite a few more – on canvas that is. These had mostly been inspired by the various feelings / experiences of walking the labyrinth in the chapel of the Waterford Hospital during their public-hour on Wednesdays. Sue Cummings led these walks and sharing circles.

Last Spring, while I was doing karma yoga (volunteering) in California, I was thrilled to hear from Sue that the cathedral’s labyrinth had finally come into being. She was contacting me to explore how I might be involved in the dedication ceremony in late September.

Upon my return to the island, I found out that the labyrinth was connected to the theme of Ocean Health. It’s now # 9 in an international network of labyrinths called the Legacy Labyrinth Project (LLP)

The project’s aim is to “integrate the impact of the labyrinth experience with global peace and healing, bringing together labyrinth builders, supporters, and communities around the globe.”

The dedication of the labyrinth will be held on the weekend of September 28th 2024. People are coming from across the world for a set program of workshops (see itinerary here).  There will also be public elements to the program, including the Sunday ceremony. Keep your eye on the cathedral website here for more details.

After my chats with Sue, I was inspired to create the painting “Into the Sea of Infinity”.

It had been 5 months since I’d played with paint in the studio. Between my travels, exhibitions, videography projects, workshops and retreats, I simply hadn’t created any new paintings.

To start, I used sacred waters from Glastonbury & Lourdes and a Palo Santo smudge to bless the canvas and to get the flow going.

Then came a few layers of liquid acrylic washes in various ocean colours for the base.

After that, for the first time, I decided to use a collection of over 80 small stencils of sea creatures for layers and layers of play & prayers for ocean health.

I usually create my own stencils, as I did for the large whale. I used that one with both paint and a layer of tiny glass beads that cover the whale and reflects light in fantastic ways from some angles.

At first, using the small commercial stencils, albeit legal in terms of copyright for professional art purposes, felt a little like cheating. It’s interesting what limiting beliefs we hold that come up asking to be examined and released. This is all part of the process of going inwards to find peace and bringing that peace back out in the world – the very process of walking the labyrinth.

In the end, returning to this childlike play with an art tool that isn’t customary in my practice was part of what unblocked the creative flow after so many months outside of the studio.

It also unleashed the vision of what it was that wanted to be born on the canvas.

From days of layering sea creatures on the canvas emerged the vision of the large whale whose tail curved around the 7-circuit Chartres-styled labyrinth from the local Anglican Cathedral. That one was painted by Lisa Gidlow Moriarty.

Note: If you haven’t seen my video of the original 11-circuit labyrinth from the 1200s in the Chartres Cathedral in France, I recommend you watch it here.

Once I’d created the whale and labyrinth, the idea of the infinity symbol and the title of the painting came to me. I immediately saw it as a recreation of the motion of my hands in the initial application of holy water. But as I painted it, layers of meaning emerged as it related to our soul’s journey, the labyrinth walk, and ocean health.

I found out a week later, when Sue came to see the finished piece, that her online group had just been discussing the concept of infinity in relation to the labyrinth.

There truly are no coincidences in the intuitive painting or living process!

Last but not least came the circular waves filled with yet another few layers of sea creatures and days of what I love to call dot therapy. So meditative!

By the time it felt complete, I was completely enamoured with what Spirit had created through me – so grateful this painting had come into being.

I was also thrilled I’d followed inspiration to help bring it into being as a print twice the size of the original will soon be gracing the wooden wall at the far end of the labyrinth in the cathedral, enhancing visitors’ labyrinth experience. What an honour!

What does the infinity symbol in this painting mean to you?

How about the whale, one of our ancient wisdom keepers?

I invite you to contemplate and reflect on the symbology and energy of this painting as it relates to a question in your life. Then, if you can, walk a labyrinth or trace the journey with your fingers. That’s equally effective!

You can order a print of “Into the Sea of Infinity” on paper or stretched canvas in your choice of size. These can be delivered to you anywhere in the world.  Order yours here today.

Here’s the information on the original painting with its many iridescent highlights and glass bead reflections:

Guidance is always there for you. Unfortunately, if the communication lines are blocked, messages simply aren’t coming through.

Think of intuition as your communication channel between you and your Team of Divine Helpers – including your Higher Self.

So what blocks your ability to tune into your intuition? Stress, anxiety, fear, depression, perfectionism, and mind-altering substance are all like static on the line.

Your questions and requests may have made it through to your Team, but their replies through the various intuitive channels aren’t being picked up.

If your usual clairsentience channel (clear feeling) is numbed because of substance abuse or medication, your Team will try again through other channels, including the 6 Clairs (clear seeing, hearing, knowing, tasting, smelling and feeling) as well as synchronicity.

But if that doesn’t work, you’ll miss out on important Guidance.

Your Team of Divine Helpers are here to help guide you and protect you. Their messages can be life-enhancing or life-saving. Whatever the case, wouldn’t you want to access those messages?

So what can you do to clear the communication lines? That’s what this week’s Love Oracle Messages are here to help you with.

Ask your Team of Divine Helpers “How can I better access my intuition?”. Then pick the painting that speaks to you the most. Scroll down to read its message.

Dear Beloved,

Working  on opening and balancing your chakras is a great way for clearing the communication lines.

You have many chakras, but let’s focus on the 7 main ones. These are the energy centres along your spine, starting at the root located at your tailbone.

Each chakra is associated with a purpose, aspects of your health, etc.

When it comes to energy, you want it to be able to flow freely through your root (#1) up to and through the crown (#7).

Imagine it flowing from Mother Earth into your feet and through your subtle energy body up to the Heavens and back through you down to the core of the planet.

If there’s a block, your body won’t be able to act as the antenna it’s meant to be. Your intuitive channels won’t be optimized. 

For example, if your throat chakra (#5) is blocked, there is no communication between your heart chakra (#4) and your third eye (#6). If that happens, you’re walking around like a head without a body. Many do.

There’s much more to say than I can fit in this Oracle Message. But if this resonates with you, do more research on how to balance your chakras. Yoga and energy healing modalities are great! Also consider my Chakra Balance Meditation Bundle.

What’s really wonderful to remember is that the more you do to open and balance the lower 6 chakras, the more your crown chakra will naturally open.

A fully opened crown chakra means enlightenment. Then you become one with Source and fully intuitive. This can take lifetimes, but why not start now?

Enjoy the many benefits of clearing your communication lines by championing your chakras.

Dear Beloved,

Your Team of Divine Helper is like a Guiding Light showing you the way that’s aligned with your Highest Good.

But if your space is so cluttered, inside and out, you will have a hard time spotting the light that’s right outside the door or deep within your core.

So if you picked this painting, you’re being asked to make space

•  in your environment for the energy to flow,
• in your body to become more sensitive to the messages
• in your mind to better discern between fear and love
• in your schedule to develop a regular intuition-development practice.
• in your heart to trust your intuition – start with baby steps and one day you’ll take those leaps of faith

Clearing your communication lines requires focus and practice. 

You might:

• do breath work to increase the flow of Life Force, that bridge between you and Spirit
• walk in nature to get fresh air, reduce the stimulus and busyness of the city and try an intuitive walkabout
• journal to process your thoughts and help your mind calm down
• declutter your house and work with the Elements (Feng Shui) to ensure better energy flow
• avoid overindulging in food, alcohol or drugs to keep your senses sharp
• eat fresh and prioritize rest
• meditate to open your third eye
• join a meditation class or yoga class

There’s so much you can do to clear the communication lines. Your Team is there with you. With all the noise and distractions, however, it’s just hard to notice.

Please don’t get overwhelmed by this list. Pick 1 that appeals to you and follow your bliss. For when you’re relaxed and joyful, you’re vibrating at a higher frequency and better able to receive those oh so important messages.
