A New Moon experience in nature

This morning I chose to do the Vortex of Energy Meditation practice at the respective time of the New Moon.

As I am creating a line of products with mala-beads aligned with the Five Dharmic Elements, I planned to initiate the japamala of the Ether Element and took white quartz beads for its manifestation.

It is a blessing to be at the sacred space in Costa Rica for practice. After a few minutes of alignment, I picked an essential oil with the feelings (with closed eyes) to see which frequency would support best my meditation today. The Ether Element has been the one. Which has been a confirmation of my previous intention.

I walked within the labyrinth and tuned in a harmonious subtle alignment.

Along the process, some coyotes came along and passed very close to me. They walked by and looked at me for a few seconds. We all staid in peace and they kept going, running up the hill. One of them stood up for some time on the top of the hill, exploring the horizon, feeling the breeze.

A subtle and intense energy moved through my body, clearing mind and bringing me fully to the present.

When I faced the Earth Element cardinal point, I saw another coyote on the other hill. All was in flow, feeling as if their presence was releasing obstacles along the way and clearing the path.

At the completion of the practice I sensed a balanced space of lightness and clarity.

Balancing the energy in your home

Based on the Five Elements

We are strongly influenced by our environment and surrounding. The food we eat, the people we relate with, the activities we engage in, the air we breathe, the path we believe in. All Elements have a great impact on our wellbeing and evolution.

Balancing the energy in your home is the foundation for a balanced lifestyle. In this article, I share with you a few steps on how to organize your space in balance with nature’s wisdom.

The area in nature where there are most abundance and growth is where there is a balance in between all five elements. The earth is healthy and fertile, there is enough water to nurture it, there are some interaction and engagement to support its growth and the movements in temperatures support growth. Other factors that support abundance are the cleanliness of the air as well as the cycles of seasons, the moon and other natural universal principles that influence evolution.

We can bring some abundance in our life and home space by integrating the wisdom of nature’s creation.

All Manifestation is based on Elements.

The Ether Element is reflected in your intention and the integration of all. It is the vibe and frequency you like to experience in the vortex of energy of your home space. This is a subtle field that we can feel when we arrive at a home or near people. When we set up an intention and meditate daily on it. When we integrate this intention into all aspects of our lives. This creates a magnetic field and has a ripple effect in its surrounding.

The presence of the earth element is reflected by a space that is comfortable, with some natural component such as wood, stones, a few plants, bamboo. An area that gives you a sense of grounding where you feel supported. When this space is balanced we can rest well and find comfort. When we cook healthy and organize our space with dedication we nurture the foundation in our space.

The presence of the element of water is with nurturing flow. You can have a water fountain, a bowl of water with some petals of flowers on it. This element is nurtured with healthy relationships and emotional connections into your home. When we share quality time and bonding experiences we nurture and balance the water element in our space. The cleanliness of the water that you use and a clear system for the flow of the water around your space will also have a direct influence on your relationships.

The essence of the fire is manifested with movement, warmth, and interaction. You can have a fire space or light up a candle sometimes. The way we balance the lightening in our space influences this element. Also, the integration of playful creative moments and healthy activities support a healthy fire. The reflection of this element supports the dynamic and inspire to action and leadership within your life.

The air element is represented by the clarity in your space. We can use a natural fan diffuser with selected essential oils to bring a clear influence in the air. The purity of the air you breath and the air that circulates in your space will affect your breath and your mindset. If you choose to be mindful and to take some time daily for studies or reflection it will highly support the balance of this element within your home.

The integration of all elements supports a balanced lifestyle. It is a two-way street between yourself and your environment.

What would be your dream home?

I invite you to take a few minutes to visualize Your Home Your Way.

Sometimes, we can be surprised that the place we live in is quite close to what we dream of. Sometimes we can be surprised that what we think we want may not really be our dream home.

What is your reflection?

For a harmonious flow of energy in your home or professional space, it is best to take into consideration your location, the seasons and the moon cycles. Those principles are in constant movements and support the dynamic, as well as harmony. If the setup is too stagnant in your home, it can bring a heavy sensation making it more difficult to rest, take action and focus with a clear mind.

Our home is a reflection of our foundation and earth element that sustains our lifestyle and relationships. If the earth is too dry and stagnant it doesn’t give space for the creative energy to flow.

We can also integrate the elements of spas, hotels, and resorts. When each space is consciously dedicated to a specific purpose, it will add value to the experience for your hosts as well as for all the people who are working.

I entered a space that impacted me beautifully. At the entrance of the restaurant was a garden, the door was in wood and the walls in real stones. Following the pathway from the door, I found a water fountain and a few fresh flowers were nearby, sharing beautiful subtle welcoming fragrances. In front of me was an extended view of mountains, lakes, and jungle.

On my right was the dining room area while the living room space and pool was on my left. Just in front was one pillar with a crystal in its center. The rounded shape of the pillar brought a graceful sensation of interconnectedness in between the restaurant space and the environment. The crystal brought a feeling of lightness and integration. It adds a sensation of comfort and ease.

May your dream home manifest and reflect your intention with grace and beauty.

1-1-2018 A New Year with Dharmic Intention

After a peaceful completion of 2017, with a light dinner, quality time in friendship, beautiful conversations and making a toast with the traditional grape for the transition… I began with a restful night.

A dear friend woke up early as well. We did a meditation, pranayamas and setup the intention for the Day and for the New Year. Then, we did together the Five Tibetan rites and had a tea prior to my departure.

As I am driving towards the airport, I see the moon shining so bright, so full, so majestic in the dark sky. She is bringing her light and gives me a sense of protection along the way.

I arrived at the airport on time, feeling blessed that my body is not hurting today. After a few weeks of regular intense pains, I began to feel better again. It looks like a profound nerve and inflammation healed after one of the sharpest intense evening and a few sweat. As if a fever wanted to take some dark toxins out of my body at that time.

Waiting at the airport, I feel peace and so inspired to fly to Costa Rica, where I plan to pursue and to nurture the connections from these last few months.

The flight was delayed which gave more space for everyone before the departure. Once in the plane, I heard the captain voice informing us that we will have to wait a little longer for security checks that they had to do in the plane.

His voice was so familiar to me, it brought a smile to my face.

I switched on my phone again and sent a text to him, asking if he was flying today. It has been a few years that we haven’t seen each others. We were kitesurfing together and sharing quality times regularly. I wrote that I was in the plane flying to SJO.

Surprisingly enough he answered to me right away telling me that he was flying. Indeed, it was his voice. I felt so happy to be in the plane he was flying.

Just 2 minutes after the flight attendant came to me confirming my name and asked me if I wanted to move into first class. She said that the captain did upgrade me.

We could share a few words before the plane took off.

After the breakfast of my choice, seated comfortable with plenty of space for my laptop to do some writing and planning. The flight attendant came to me with a bag telling me that it was a gift from the captain. All those gifts bring so much warmth in my heart.

My first flight of the year has been in first class, filled with gifts and beautiful energy all around me. I feel so humbled and grateful.

This is a first reflection of the intention that I did set for this year. I feel cared and supported.

At the arrival, we enjoyed sharing a few words and a big hug filled with love and gratitude.

My decision to be in Miami to complete cycles and to initiate the New Year in Costa Rica has been very clear. I am inspired to focus my attention and my energy towards communities where they focus on caring and nurturing our planet, our people.

The Full Moon was shining bright in the sky in the jungle this evening. I did a profound Vortex of Energy Meditation for peace, compassion, abundance – a harmonious alignment in this first day of the new year.

In my eyes the greatest priorities at the moment are to cultivate a healthy nurturing relationship between us and the earth. We are here to care and to support our beautiful planet. Nature is our guide and our main source of inspiration, of creation, of manifestation.

My mission is to bring the message and guidance for people to integrate the principles of nature within their lives, their relationships, their businesses and their wellbeing. It is a two way street. When we learn from nature’s five elements and laws of manifestation we become more attentive and sensitive to our environment.

I am dedicating attention today to the Kokopeli foundation, to the people who supports the cause and production of natural resources for organic production and preservation of so many variety of plants and natural medicines that are disappearing due to the abuse coming from human greed and ignorance.

I am dedicating attention today to indigenous wisdom and communities for whom the main priorities are to care for our planet and create a harmonious relationship between us. I have done vision quests for five consecutive years between 1998 and 2003. We focus on 365 prayers for peace, protection, love, abundance, health, for ourselves, our loved ones, our community, planet, plants, environment. Whenever we feel hungry or tired. Whenever we pass through a difficult or through an epiphany, we channel the energy towards the prayers reenforcing them with positive intention and compassion.

This path continue its tradition with some communities in different countries. Some people are initiating the year with this ceremony here in Costa Rica.

I am dedicating attention today to a beautiful group of people who choose a dharmic way to manifest their intention and visions in 2018. We have a class online just 2 hours before the peak of energy of the Super Full Moon. We take a moment to clarify our intention, to setup a space and a map for visualization and meditation.

This one-hour guidance provide clear tools for everyone to clarify their personal map for the new year.

Every month we have online webinars to clarify our priorities, our intention and our directions on our own personal ways. We are all in tune, connecting in the “here and now” from wherever we are. It is a dharmic and mindful support system that respects the law of nature’s cycles along the journey.

The theme of next month’s class is: “Key Elements to Navigate with Love” on 5 February at 7:00PM EST

I am dedicating attention today to meditate at the Full Moon with a purposeful vortex of energy Meditation practice. This practice brings a profound alignment between the universal consciousness and the down to earth reality. When we channel a frequency of light, we create a vortex which radiates some energy all around us. These rituals influence our environment and community in a subtle yet profound way.

I am dedicating attention today to write and to share with YOU! 🙂

What is your intention for 2018?

Have you set a clear vision on how you can bring your intention into manifestation in all main aspects of your life?

Free Flow in Florida

It is a blessing to be in Florida for a few weeks with the opportunity to reflect in a beautiful peaceful space.

After 14 years based in Miami, my wings are reopening inspiring me to fly. The headquarter of the DHARMI® Institute is staying here. It is the opportunity to come back regularly and to continue to nurture positive healthy relationships that are very meaningful to me.

Surprisingly it doesn’t feel like home anymore. I remember when I arrived. It was after almost ten years traveling and teaching worldwide, like a gypsie, without any official home residence. It has been quite a journey to reintegrate myself in the society. As a free spirit, the only way has been to open my own business and to create a service, profession, that have a meaning and clear purpose in the community. That way I could stay aligned with my mission while dealing with the karmic side as incarnated human being.

I remember my intention when I arrived. It was so pure and authentic. I am appreciating every moment. It is a blessing to have the opportunity to walk along the beach, to feel the breeze clearing the mind. It is delicious to feel the sand below my feet and the water clearing, opening to infinite possibilities.

The foundation is strong and the connections are in flow. It is with leadership and a clear vision that we can grow. Balancing all the Elements with positive intention becomes an attraction.

Peace and inspiration,

Christelle
