Whispering…

WHISPERING

tall grass (3)

I walk along a hilltop at night,
whispering…

I whisper to the earth and stars,
the waters and the forests.

I whisper to grasses, long and short,
and to the many flowers
that dance in winds both gentle and strong.

I whisper to critters, large and small,
who wander through mountains and deep valleys.
And to the ones that fly,
I whisper. I whisper.

This is what I say when I whisper.
I say:
I love you. I love you.
Be well now. Be well.

All night I walk along the hilltop, whispering.
All night, whispering,
I love you. I love you.
Be well now. Be well.

Can you hear me?
Are you listening?

I love you. Be well now.
Be well.

Life is like a garden…

LIFE IS LIKE A GARDEN…

by Aliana Alani ©2018

LIFE IS LIKE A GARDEN. Granted we don’t always see it that way but if you think about it, really think about it – it is. So look around you. What do you see?

If it’s a garden in your yard, you might see blooming flowers, unless of course it’s the beginning of Spring in which case you may be looking at dead grass and last year’s we’ve-lost-all-our-glow autumn leaves. However, you might also see a fledgling little popup of green here or there, which is good news, because those would be the bulbs you planted last fall now getting ready to burst upon the scene with much desired vibrant colour. The thought of which makes a person smile. It’s got to. Who doesn’t love colour after a long white winter?

And if it’s the garden of your yard, you know that all there is to do is get out there with that rake, scoop up all those dead leaves, turn over the soil in those flower beds, and yup, plant a few flowers. And then, voilà, you have yourself a beauteous landscape of a backyard, guaranteed to touch your heart, and garner admiration from your neighbours all summer long.

Now – If it’s the garden of your life and all you see around you is dead grass, then you have a bit of work to do. Dead grass in your personal garden is a wakeup call. For just like your backyard garden needs a little TLC now and then (that’s tender loving care for those of you who might not remember), so does the garden of your life.

Dead grass brings with it questions. The obvious one being – where is the life? That’s a question bordering on the existential which could take you forever to answer if you’re not careful so give yourself permission to hear the sound bite version! And then we have – how long has it been since you’ve seeded it with dreams of possibility? Those are the Yes I Can dreams you’ve held close to your heart for so long. How long since you’ve watered your life with love? If you’re having trouble locating the watering can then you’ve got your answer to that one. If there’s a lot of dead grass then chances are you’ve either ignored your garden, perhaps completely, or fed it consciously or not with thoughts of anguish, doubt, or despair. Oh dear.

Your opportunity, should you choose to accept it, is to cast an eye (two if you’re feeling really brave) around the garden of your life and see what you find. If it’s an endless field of dead stuff, then ask yourself why. The next course of action is obviously the rake, the shovel, or the rototiller. But before you go using the rototiller, we should probably talk.

More Life is a Garden thoughts to come, so tune in again!

HAPPY GARDENING!

Springtime!

Posted on April 6, 2017 by AlianaAlani

For those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, Spring has either sprung (depending on where you are) or is just around the corner. Birds are chirping their way back into our awareness, and buds are teasing forth on trees for all to see. It is time for jackets instead of coats and runners instead of boots, if we’re lucky. April can be a fickle month in the North so it’s always up for grabs. All of which means, don’t put those shovels away just yet, cuz ya just never know.

Traditionally Spring is a time of beginnings. So let’s begin to envision the positive. Let’s envision a peaceful world, a happy one, and let’s dare to open even more to serenity and kindness in ourselves and in our lives, no matter how crazy things might appear to be. And yes, they do appear to be incredibly crazy. But…

The old is slipping away. The new is being born.

Because it’s the start of APRIL, I’ve changed things on the WHAT’S NEW page. Check it out by clicking here. WHAT’S NEW And the Poetry page has a different entry as well. Poetry If any of it speaks to you, if you want more info or want to buy, just email me at 22shangrila.com.

So here’s to Spring! Let’s plant seeds of loving wherever we can. Then let’s help them prosper, flourish, and grow. Loving. Believe it or not, it’s what we do best.

Namaste, & may happy moments be yours.

There’s another new page…

Posted on February 3, 2017 by AlianaAlani

Yes, there is another new page just added to 22shangrila. It’s called – WHAT’S NEW.

As you might guess, it’s about things that are new, current, or about to happen. Mostly (but not totally) it will be about things that you can buy. And it’s there to make it easier for you to check out what’s available without having to scroll through the main section of postings. The plan is to update, hence change, it every month.

There are two new ‘bits’ of information on the page now, with more to be added as the month goes along. I hope you enjoy it and find things there that are right for you to have in your life. Everything in this work is there to help you be a better you.

Remember – You are the shining light. You are the love.

They’re here!

THAT’S RIGHT. THE FIRST PRINTING OF THE FIRST ‘WAVE’ OF

THE NEW MEDITATION TEMPLATES IS NOW AVAILABLE.

wave-energy_nice-wave

Which ones are in that ‘wave’ that you can work with via meditation to bring yourself into a deeper resonance with The Garden of Love & Life? Funny you should ask. Here’s the list:

LOVE HARMONY RADIANT HEALTH INNER WEALTH INNER PEACE

Remember, INNER PEACE is a gift to you from the Universe and from me. It comes free-of-charge with any order of one or more of the others. You can glimpse it by going to the Meditation page. (Click on the title listed in the headings above.)

Again, these are prints, not originals, 9″ x 12″ in size, on Classic Crest Card weight in natural white and are done in black ink. A 5″ x 7″ Info card comes with each template describing its focus, and a bit about The Garden and sacred geometry.

They’re wonderful. They’re powerful. And this is just the beginning. So go on now, catch the wave and be a part of it.

To order: email me – aliana at 22shangrila.com. Mark ‘meditation templates’ on it. (pricing is here on the Meditation page.)

Remember

Love is the answer.

Always has been. Always will be.

Autumn Discounts Coming

Posted on August 25, 2016 by AlianaAlani

Once a year I pick a time to provide discounts on some of the work I do. This year that time is autumn.

For those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, autumn is literally around the corner, which of course means that winter is not far behind. The thought of which makes me wee bones shiver in the noon day heat. Fast forward four months and we are at the end of another year! How fast it seems to go.

All of which makes Autumn a perfect time to hone our skills, clear the inner cobwebs, set intentions and open portals that can help bring those visions and dreams into reality. With that in mind, here are the discounts available.

FOR SEPTEMBER, OCTOBER, & NOVEMBER ONLY
A 20% DISCOUNT is available

ON ALL PRIVATE SESSION WORK – These are 1 – 1 ½ hr sessions in which we do powerful work together. They can be one-off sessions or done in a series. Discounts are per session.

ON PERSONAL COMMISSIONED SACRED GEOMETRY ORDERS – Whether for commissioned logos to rep your work or templates created for your personal evolution or for your center, business, or retreat space, a 20% Discount is available off the full price for both Logos and/or Personal Gates during the above time.

*The personal commissioned work is expensive for many reasons, so if you’ve been pondering a commissioned template and are keen to open that portal, this is a good time to take advantage of the discount on offer. As you may remember in one of my earlier postings, some of the commission work will be ending in the near future. Another reason to act on this offer now.

IF THIS RESONATES WITH YOU and you want to take advantage of this offer, you are welcome to email me – aliana@22shangrila.com – mark which offer interests you in the subject section, include your contact details in your email, and I’ll get back to you regarding pricing, scheduling, and to discuss the purpose/focus of your commission order.

*Please remember that commissioned templates, especially the large ones, take time to create, so if you know in your heart what you want, do act on that knowing quickly. Don’t wait till the last minute to order only to find I have no time left to offer you.

Remember

Love is the answer.

Always has been. Always will be.

Remembering…

Posted on April 25, 2016 by AlianaAlani

Five years ago yesterday, April 24th, a beautiful light transcended this world, moving into a different level of being. His name was Sathya Sai Baba.

baba
Baba was many things to many people. For millions, he was a guiding light. For others, a challenge, even a threat. For me, strange as it might sound to some, he was like family – the spirit of a being you have known for so long but haven’t seen in eons. The universe brought me to his door, he opened it, I came through, and life was never the same.

His was a universal message. Though he spoke of many things over many years, there were two constants that wove like a gentle wave of energy through everything – Know that you are Divine, and be the Love you truly are. These are messages I too felt called to share when I became a spiritual facilitator.

As the years passed and I walked what sometimes seemed like different roads (that rabbit hole being one of them), Baba still wafted through the ethers of my world, usually popping up when I needed it most, a wee reminder that I was loved and protected.

Yesterday, as tears surprisingly flowed, I found myself remembering, and in the remembering, slowly coming home to a heightened level of purpose – one of those ‘Remember why you came here’ moments. And so once again, I find myself in deep love and gratitude to the man with eyes that could take you straight to the heart of the Eternal – Sathya Sai Baba.

I woke this morning with these words – they are for you – each and every one of you. I hope you will take them to heart.

You are the love you seek,
The peace you crave,
The abundance you desire.
You – infinite glorious radiance of the Eternal,
You are the one you have been waiting for.

For your consideration … The Greening

A new Template from The Garden Series created by Aliana

THE GREENING IS TRADITIONALLY KNOWN as a time when things begin to flourish – when that which has been seeded, births and comes into its own voice of expression. It is a special time, full of manifesting possibility and the song of life.

NOWHERE IS THIS MORE PREVALENT than in The Garden. This stage in The Garden’s evolution (and in a sense within our own) is both celebrated and enhanced by this new template, THE GREENING.

THERE IS JOY AND DELIGHT HERE, a touch of magic and wonder. The air is clear. The sun is soft and warm. And all around, life is smiling. Everything feels like it is dancing into a delicious fruition. It is, after all, the time of THE GREENING.

Done on high quality watercolour paper – In gold, three beautiful shades of green, and a breath of a touch of silver – Size is 15” x 22 ¼”

If you feel a call to this new template, THE GREENING, either as artwork for your home or as a Keeper of its energy and focus, email me, aliana at 22shangrila.com.

Remember – until the end of December, there is a 15% discount off all templates purchased, and yes, a payment plan is possible.
