Finger Labyrinths

The finger labyrinth is a wonderful way to experience the healing and spiritual benefits of the labyrinth.

The portability and accessibility of these smaller versions of the labyrinth allow us to carry them wherever we go. Regardless of location, weather conditions, health or mobility issues.

I have used mine when traveling, waiting to see my doctor, and during those long stopovers between flights. They are wonderful, easy to carry and ready for use 24 hours a day.

Finger labyrinths have been around for centuries and some of these were said to be carved on rock walls and small stones. They were used to lead one to a deeper understanding of the self and a closer relationship with the divine.

Labyrinths can be used by everyone, regardless of their religious beliefs, traditions or background. They are a universal spiritual tool.

The three stages of the Labyrinth;

• Releasing -Letting go of the details of your life. This is the act of releasing thoughts and distractions. A time to open the heart and quiet the mind.
• Receiving – When you reach the center, stay there as long as you like. It is a place of meditation and prayer. Receive what is there for you to receive.
• Returning – As you leave, following the same path out of the center as you came in, you enter the third stage, which is joining with the Divine, your Higher Power, or the healing forces at work in the world. Each time you walk the labyrinth you become more empowered to find and do the work you feel your soul reaching for.

I received my finger labyrinth as a gift several years ago and use it for relaxation and meditation. It was purchased from The Shop at Grace Cathedral in San Francisco.

I am also very fortunate to have a seven circuit labyrinth within walking distance of my home. I love it!

” The great need of our time is for people to be connected to spirit; for people to be connected to a core of feeling in themselves that makes their lives vital and full of meaning, that makes life a mystery evermore to be uncovered.” – Harold Stone – Sandplay

Pendulums

Pendulums are often used as tools for spiritual healing and inner growth, and also used for measuring levels of energy and detecting imbalances in the chakras and human energy fields.

Personally, I use a pendulum when doing energy work on myself and others, to read energy fields and Chakras. I also use it to determine what herbal preparations, supplements, vitamins, homeopathics or flower essences are best for me to use.

Pendulums can also be extremely effective for distant healing, and for clearing houses of unwanted energies.

To use a pendulum, all you need to do is simply hold the intention that the pendulum is a healing tool, and understand on a very deep level that we are all one, there’s no separation. We are divine and we are all infinitely powerful.

Daily Spiritual Practice

Why is our daily personal spiritual practice important?
From my own perspective a daily personal practice keeps us grounded in our work, less stressed out, and more connected with the Divine. Yet, life happens and there are those days when even the best of intentions go awry.

Friends have said that “not practicing seems to make a critical difference in their lives, they begin to notice feeling out of sorts, drained, disjointed, stressed out, a disconnect, edgy, and that something is lacking.”

Due to our very busy lives, it may seem difficult to cultivate a daily practice, yet the very act of lighting a candle, opening and listening for guidance can have a profound effect on the rest of your day. These simple acts can open doors that once seemed closed.

“Whatever I am offered in devotion with a pure heart – a leaf, a flower, fruit, or water – I accept with joy.” – Bhagavad Gita

Everyday Goddessing  is about sharing magical techniques and sacred wisdom with other beautiful Goddess women. I believe that within every woman there is a goddess, a wise woman, beautiful, creative, powerful, with a deep soul, and that everything we need and are looking for is already inside  each of us. – Rose Arizmendi
