For those of you who celebrate this time of year – may the true spirit of Christmas fill your hearts and grace your days during this special time. May laughter, joy, and magic ring throughout each moment. And whether your Christmas is ringed with winter white or island palms, may love and harmony prevail.
To all in this beautiful often fragile world – I wish you great joy, unending peace, and a life filled with kindness and love.
May your Christmas be merry. May your Holiday be bright.

And so it is that friendships
come and go.
And memories that seemed etched in time
begin to fade.
The imports of a life no longer
weave their spells.
Their words and thoughts no longer
holding sway.
And what is left is to the
alchemist pure gold.
A plot of heaven midst a field
of fertile light.
One solitary note. One single chord.
Echoing throughout the endless
chambers of the
Eternal heart.
For those of you who celebrate Christmas and are looking for something meaningful and different to give, may I suggest the MEDITATION TEMPLATES.
As you may remember, these are geared to help you, via meditation and the power of sacred geometry, to contemplate and ultimately become one with the energy & focus of that particular template – that it might enhance your life and bring you closer to living in The Garden of Love – a garden of a world many feel lately that we so deeply need to be a part of. *to read more about these; please click on the Meditation Templates page above.
Each print of the Meditation Templates is $20 + shipping/packaging (Canadian funds) and includes the INNER PEACE Meditation Template free-of-charge.
You can order one, or the full package. Normally purchasing the four templates currently available costs $80 +shipping/packaging.
Here’s the CHRISTMAS SPECIAL
BETWEEN NOW AND DECEMBER 21, 2016:
If you purchase the full package of four templates (that’s LOVE, HARMONY, INNER WEALTH, and RADIANT HEALTH) the cost to you is only $65.95 +shipping/packaging (Canadian funds) – and yes, that includes a print of the INNER PEACE meditation template free-of-charge.
It’s a great deal. It benefits you. It benefits our world.
So whether you’re buying it for yourself or for another, do take advantage of this offer now. To purchase, simply email me – aliana at 22shangrila.com. Remember – the offer is only good until DECEMBER 21, 2016.

I wish you much joy.
A quick posting to let you all know that there are TWO NEW TEMPLATES available – WINDOWS INTO LIGHT and WINDOWS INTO LOVE.
12″ x 22″ and 11″ x 22″, they are long, slender, and beautiful – done mostly in gold and silver, one with electric blue, another with aqua blue, with a bit of black in each, and of course, they are looking for their new homes.
I don’t have any pics yet, but given how much we can all use light and love in these times, I wanted you to know straight away that they are available in case one resonates for you.
If you want to order or see a pic, email me at 22shangrila.com
Many blessings.

This article (and its added poem, which I posted here years ago) is long, so I hope you will hang in and continue reading. And if it strikes a chord in your heart, please share. It is my feeling that New Zealand could use your prayers today.
I AWOKE THIS MORNING to learn of the latest earthquake in New Zealand, a country that, as many know, is prone to such things. Some report it as a 7.5, others as a 7.8. Either way you look at it, it was large. Unlike the Christchurch earthquake, this one was inland and deeper. It was also bigger. The subsequent aftershocks have been large, shallow, and some have migrated northward. And there have been beginning tsunamis and casualties.
BACKTRACK, IF YOU WILL, to 2011. This time I wasn’t on the other side of the ocean. I was landing in Auckland – two hours after the Christchurch earthquake hit. As I watched the story unfold day after day for the next two weeks with all its aftershocks and increasingly bleak coverage, and as I personally walked small forest trails and ocean’s black sands, stared at calm sunsets and wild cloudy skies, I found myself touched beyond measure.
THIS WRITING BELOW feels as important to me now as it did then. As I read it again, I couldn’t help but feel that tucked within, there is perhaps a message for us all. It is a small homage to the spirit and heart of the Land of the Long White Cloud and of its people. New Zealanders, in my experience, are a strong kind people. That doesn’t mean your prayers and caring aren’t needed. So again, if this writing touches you, feel free to pass it on. Perhaps in the telling its heart song will help ease the way a little.

LAND OF THE LONG WHITE CLOUD – AOTEAROA – Where stories linger like slender strings of tiny ocean pearls within your billowy sleeves of cloudlike memory. Where sky and sea walk hand in hand and in their mirage-like mist worlds both old and new appear to hover, and on their very edges ethereal doors stand ready to be entered, to share gifts perhaps waiting to be given. Is it but a dream to feel this way? And yet somehow, I think not.
Kia Ora, you say.
Aloha, I answer. For that is what I know in my heart.
Heart – the door you offer, at least to me – the chance to enter a land of ancient openness and be at peace, to walk with ease again along the corridors of time. As if a jewel had been here patiently waiting to be retrieved and lived anew. Strange to find you now, for I have landed on your shores when the earth is rumbling mightily and the ring of shifting sands and olden fissures is making itself known. Breaking through the seeming solidness of life and coughing up its innards for the entire world to see.
Kia Kaha, you say, for you have been through this before and know no fear.
Is that the opportunity, when all else falls away, to know no fear? To know that life always begins anew, that if we open our hearts and trust the birth, it can perhaps be even better than before, that we are strong in spirit no matter what?
I am touched by the hearts of people on this land of yours, Oh Long White Cloud. Touched by their generosity and kindness in the midst of devastation – their willingness to reach out and help another. It is the humaneness within humanity, is it not – to offer aid without question or condition? Too often we forget this as we stride our world of ever-increasing gadgets and sound bites. Your people are helping us to remember.
Ke Aloha Aotearoa, your beauty is astounding. Gods have walked upon your earth and fished in your waters. Songs have been sung in your honour and winds have dashed your shores. Mountains high and long have risen dressed in snowy garments. And films have told stories of Middle Earths and Hobbit kingdoms. You are part of a realm we now call, The Pacific. But somehow you are part of something else as well. It lives within the very fabric of your air, and hence within the fabric of your people. Amongst all else, it is a strength of heart and the never-ending ability to dare to weave new story into life, no matter what. A wondrous gift this is for the world to see and feel. Thank you for bringing it to our table.
Kia Kaha, Aotearoa, Land of the Long White Cloud. Kia Kaha New Zealand.
You are loved.

Today I pray for miracles.
Miracles for this world, for you, and me. Miracles that can turn the tide of being, here and now.
Whether for good health or well-being, for money midst dire or stressful situations, or for a caring voice during the passing of what has been or who has been with you. I pray for miracles.
I pray for the miracle of a shining light – the light that comes from that deep space within, the Eternal flame of who we truly are. I pray for this light to miraculously illuminate the path we now walk, no matter who we are or where we are, that we may see beyond the confusion and the folly that spins like a tempest upon the seas of our world, and find the courage to walk a path of love and understanding instead.
I pray for the miracle of love – divine and everlasting – to attend us all today; to unblock a frightened heart, heal a wounded soul, and mend a fractured mind.
I pray for miracles – that we may have eyes to see and ears to hear – that, miraculously, we might turn and realize what many who seldom walk this world have always known – that here sits a bit of heaven – a garden of love – a world of plenty and of light. I pray for the miracle of that knowing, and the audacity to live its truth.
I pray for miracles. I pray for love.
