As always, the templates can be purchased as artwork to beautify and energize your home. However, it is also possible to become a ‘Keeper of their story’. In doing so, you have the added opportunity to actively participate with the blessings and focus they each provide; meditating with them, pondering the gems of wisdom each carries within, and allowing the template to influence your life in loving empowering ways. The choice is yours.

‘Detail’ of THE WATERS OF COMPASSION created by Aliana Alani 2016

AS MANY OF YOU KNOW, I don’t normally post images of these templates online for many reasons. I prefer to send them in PDF format for those truly interested. However, I am going to break tradition today and include a ‘detail’ image of The Waters of Compassion, a truly potent template, whose focus is much needed in our world today.

This image is but a snippet of the template but it will give a wee sense of it all. I hope it intrigues you enough to want to look deeper and ultimately become its Keeper.

For additional information, to view the PDF of images, for pricing and to purchase, contact me at: aliana@22shangrila.com. Please mark ‘templates’ in the subject section.

As always, I wish you much joy.

For Your Consideration…

There is a new sacred geometry template available from the Templates from The Garden Series.

BALANCE

Done on high quality watercolour paper in gold, silver, dark mulberry, and violet colours. It’s size is 15″ x 22 1/4″

Focus: BALANCE within The Garden is a space of centeredness wherein resides a calm knowing, for nothing is too much of this nor too much of that. There is an equality of being, a middle way if you like, that not only encourages an expression of wholeness but also provides a door, if desired, for a deeper level of being.

To be a Keeper of this template is to welcome the opportunity of Balance into your life, and hence, your world.

To view a pdf of the image of this template, for pricing, and to purchase, email me, aliana, at 22shangrila.com or leave a message below. Do mark ‘templates’ in the subject matter.

As always, I wish you much joy.

This is for you…

I’ve had 22shangrila up and running for awhile now. Some of you have been following here since the beginning; others are new, or at least newer. Some click ‘like’ having found something in that moment that speaks to you and then you are gone into the internet mist, never to be heard from again. Some come back. Some choose to hang around.

To all of you, I want to say – THANK YOU!

Thank you for being touched by something in this site, whether that be poetry, an article, or some of the other work I do. Thank you for letting me know. And thank you for choosing to follow to see what else might show up here.

The purpose of 22shangrila has always been to communicate – to speak to the language of the heart in us all, no matter the form or moment – but especially through the power of word, image, and story. And of course to let you know what I’m doing.

I’m not the best at answering, or for that matter at clicking ‘follow’ to your sites when you come to mine. Apologies. The intention is often there. I do take a look at what you’re doing if you click ‘like’ on mine, and I often say to myself, ‘I must make a comment, a thank you, an I-like-your-work-too’. But then the moment goes, the phone rings, the muse calls, and my best intentions fly off into the winds. I’ll try to get better at that.

After all, we are a community of world storytellers, are we not? Mystics in the making, perhaps. Poets abounding. Weaving new visions and thoughts that, yes, could quite possibly change our world for the better. And we all matter.

So here’s to you – all of you – may every day in your life flourish with harmony, balance, and love. May you weave the most scrumptious tales ever, whether they be in word, image, or sound! And may they dance in our world like magic calling us home.

I hope you’ll hang around. If it feels right, send a comment note or an email (I will answer those) and tell me what you’re doing to help this world be a kinder happier place.

And again – THANK YOU!
