A Bear, A Girl, and an Angel

Deciding to move to Vancouver Island was natural, easy, intuitive. Yet, in the process, it's taken tremendous courage along the way dealing with breaking up, moving, and starting a new for the first time - what's taken most of me so far is the 'separation' from my community in Calgary, which isn't really separate at all, but sometimes our minds get in these places. 

However I've found the start of, what could be, and FEELS to be, entering a community filled with people you are longing to call home with. Love from the core. 

Community is everything. Connection is deep and intimate. Love is light and free.

And that is all you need!! (and some organic veggies in the physical world.. obviously)

Here, I chronicle the events + expressions of my journey so far. 


MOVING TO A NATURAL WORLD

It was the morning of my departure from the city - moving day - and I pulled out my phone to check for any last messages. A picture was waiting for me from one of my best friends: she had pulled an angel card for me - it was Yvonne - who came to assure me that my pets were lovingly protected and watched over. Thinking of my cat, who I had to leave behind for a couple of months while I sorted my living situation out, I thanked her, though I sensed there was more to the message.



At my first stop, just about an hour outside of the city, I pulled over to get some spring water. The mountains were strikingly beautiful, the day was sunny and warm, and before I left with my spring water, I ran to my car to get a little jar of honey. I had brought it as an offering to the fairies + nature spirits that I was to encounter along my journey. The honey acts as a token of gratitude symbolically, but the spirits can also harvest energy from the gift; true nourishment has the ability to transcend dimensions.

It had been a few hours of driving, and I needed a longer break, so I asked Archangel Michael to help me find the perfect spot to turn off the highway. After missing a few, he guided me to one, and I quickly signaled and got off the main road. As soon as I did so, I spotted a beautiful black bear, not but 6 meters from my car.

After squealing in delight I flashed back to the card from the morning, as well as my offering to the fairies, and instantly recognized divine flow.

Feeling full of love, I got out of my car and starting chatting to the bear - and by chatting I mean shrieking with glee, telling it how much I loved it. (Keep in mind, I would only advise approaching wild animals like this if you're really in the flow with the fairies and can sense energy extremely well)

The bear checked me out, and kept walking, stopping every so often to look at me. Then, disappearing through the trees, it was gone.

Delighted, I got back in my car, and continued the journey out west, unaware of the further magical fairy encounters that soon awaited me.

When I Say Fairies... I Mean Fairies

You can connect with the fairies through consistent actions to take care of the Earth


In a recent post I got really honest about what I believe in. What my soul remembers at this time in my life. (aka the fact that I was a whale) Rather than being as scary as I thought it would be to convey the ideas that I do, it was actually quite fun. It's liberating + empowering to be in your truth, scary as it may seem.

If you haven't read my last post, please do so now, because I'm about to dive right back into things.


HOW I SEE IT


Since I have such roots in the world of the sea, such close ties to animals, and water, I am quite aligned with the elemental kingdom, as are many people that are intensely drawn to nature. This is the kingdom of the fairies, the devas, the elves, the mermaids, the sprites, the salamanders, and all sorts of other mystical beings that we learned about as children, but were then taught not to believe in. The elementals are care-givers for nature, they oversee natural phenomenon, and the natural world is their home.

I've come to learn that my ties to the elemental kingdom (or shall I saw queendom :D) is the main reason I get so upset about environmental degradation. Because anyone with ties to the world of the elementals feels like the animals and plants are their family. Because they are. Others of us, however, have stronger ties to the 'star people'. Many have lived human lives for a very long time, while others  are well acquainted with many different dimensions + roles.

In essence, where we've lived in the cosmos during our soul's history affects everything from our food preferences to our life purpose, to what type of relationships we'd like to cultivate.

If you'd like to read more, please read Doreen Virtue's book 'Realms of the Earth Angels'.

Fairies are most abundant in areas where flowers abound
One day, while I was still in university, I was looking out my window at the field beside my house. I lived on the edge of town, and had just finished reading a section of a Wayne Dyer book, and was feeling completely relaxed, completely peaceful. And that's when I saw them. Tiny little white sparkles that appeared to be dancing in the sky. I didn't recall ever seeing anything like it before. I knew it meant something, but I didn't know what. I've continued to see these sparks often since that day.

A few months after the incident, I was staying with a beautiful young family in a magical green forested valley in BC. I was playing with the oldest child, a 5 year old girl, in the garden. Somehow, the conversation turned magical - She told me about the fairies she could see. "What do they look like?" I asked. "Little white sparks" she said - "Sometimes there's so many in my drawer I can't even see my underwear", letting a little giggle out.

And that's when it clicked. Fairies. I could see fairies.

They didn't look like how I'd expected, but I was beginning to realize, most things don't work like you think they will in the Spirit world.

Mysteries abound at every corner. It felt as though my life was taking yet another turn - magic was real, and I could see and feel it. The little girl inside of me was shouting "I knew it!", while the more experienced part of my being wanted to keep this all a secret. After all, people would think I was crazy, wouldn't they?

It's been over a year and a half since the conversation that introduced me to the truth of those little white sparkles. And now I've learned to talk to them (it's actually quite easy). You see, fairies are actually Nature Angels, and they're here to help us, but especially, to help the environment. Animals have guardian angels like humans do, but from what I understand - most of the time, they're fairies. I've seen my cat's guardian 'fairy' a few times as a strong blue light that sits over her shoulder. What a beautiful world we live in.

I'll continue to post more 'How I See It' posts as the weeks go on. To learn more about fairies, again, I reference you to Doreen Virtue, this time, a book called "Healing with the Fairies"

A Peek Inside my Makeup Bag - The Products I Love!

Wearing my favourite eco makeup brands after showering with the best shampoo ever!






It took me a while to transition all of my makeup products to organic + natural, but I'm so glad I did. 

For years I've recognized the importance of what we put into our bodies - chemicals are foreign and extremely harsh to the body, throwing it out of balance, and creating all sorts of disorders, from depression, to acne, to wrinkles and cancer.

However I never realized the incredible absorption qualities that our skin has. I've learned, over the last few years, that what we put ON our bodies, is just as important as what we put IN our bodies. Our skin drinks up the lotions, makeup, and other body products we use, and this has profound effects on our moods, our appearance, and our overall health.

The average brand of makeup, shampoo, etc is LOADED with chemicals - carcinogenic ingredients dyes, and a whole whack of other synthetic shit (pardon my language, but that's what it is - shit) that I don't want in my body.

When this realization set in, I started using natural body care products. 

My rule now? If I wouldn't eat it, I don't put it on my body. Since then, my teeth have become whiter, my skin, clearer, and I get WAY happier when entering the bathroom, because I know I have luxurious organic products to use, from my shampoo, to my soap, to my foundation and mascara. Yay!

I also know that none of the products I buy have been tested on animals - animal testing is rampant in the makeup + body care industry, with brands like Johnson & Johnson being some of the worst offenders. I won't go into too much detail here, the finer points of animal testing are pretty gruesome, but you can learn more about it in a blog post I wrote back in 2011 here.

I challenge you to start transitioning your medicine cabinet + makeup bag to a green, earth loving, soul nurturing, care station. Remember - It's about progress, not perfection!

So this week, choose one, just one product to substitute out for an organic one. Perhaps you'll want to swap your Colgate for a nature loving brand, or maybe even make your own! Maybe your Herbal Essences could do with a boot in favour of my favourite shampoo - Sea Wench Naturals Botanical Shampoo.

To get you inspired, I've taken photos of some of my favourite brands! Have fun treating yourself loves!

100% Pure is pigmented with cacao + coffee beans - how cool is that?

This AMAZING shampoo is made on Vancouver Island

It's important to read the ingredients - remember, the 'natural' label means nothing! If you recognize the ingredients, that's a good start, if they're organic, even better!


I just got this great foundation which is based in organic jojoba oil - previously to that I was using Nvey, which I really liked as well
I love this bronzer - my mom got it for me for Christmas!

Hawaii Ends - Yet The Bigger Adventure Begins

Hawaii was an incredible journey - from breaking up with my partner to detoxing my liver to jumping into foreign and deep, dark cave water, I learned so much about myself, but most importantly, I got a chance to start over and begin to create the life I wanted, on my terms.

Coming back to Canada came at the right time. I felt like I needed to see my partner, now best friend, in order to get the closure I needed. I had my first ever workshop scheduled, and had my sights set on moving to Vancouver Island after that. Life was not letting me rest, and that was OK.

I'm now on the other side of that, on the west coast , and have had so many incredible adventures and miracles. The next part of my journey will soon be chronicled in blog posts, much like my Hawaiian adventures, but with of course, all new material!

Lots of love to you on your respective journey, friends. May you always know the light of your own being.

Introducing My New Custom Product Line - Flower Child!

Flower Child is a line of custom body + healing products, made just for you from wildcrafted herbs.


Imagine feeling totally welcomed by the forest. The air, so sweet, speaks to you, whispering ancient secrets whose time has come again. The soil, beneath your bare feet, caresses you, sensually bringing you closer to the ground. The trees, the forest around you, stand tall and strong, yet their spirits surround you, guiding you to your courage. The wildflowers beneath you, sing, a sweet and playful melody that brings you closer to your femininity, your goddess essence.

I've been guided to create a sacred contract with the forest, the ocean, the flowers and the soil. To make from them, create from their essence. To bring their very nature into this world to heal and soothe, to empower the young women of today to reconnect to this place - the place where wild things roam.

This summer, I move to nature. And with that comes a whole new product line from Waves of Fire. 


It's called 'Flower Child', and it's a line of custom lotions, tinctures, flower essences, teas, body oils, and chakra opening remedies, that are designed to reconnect young women to the forest, to the ocean, to the flowers - and ultimately, to themselves.

Imagine feeling this connected to the ocean + animals
All products will be crafted from wild harvested herbs (meaning they're better than organic - they're completely wild + in tune with Mother Nature's cycles), as well as organic oils and local beeswax. Wild herbs have potent medicinal and spiritual powers, much like crystals. Each product will be created first and foremost with the healing properties of the herbs in mind, and will be woven together by prayers of intention and gratitude.
The freedom that comes from knowing you're in tune with the magic of earth

This is how it works:

When you sign up for the program, we'll sit down (via skype) for a chat, just like I did for my crystal necklaces. In this way, I'll feel out your energy, and get a sense of what potions may be good for you. Perhaps a heart charka salve? Maybe a total body exfoliant that is both grounding and will make your skin glow?

After that, you'll receive a box every month in the mail - containing 2 products I've made JUST for you. You can either be totally surprised, or put in an order for a certain product, like an organic face lotion, or an aura cleansing mist. 

You'll also receive a photograph of the plant, as well as an invocation to the plant spirit's essence. Before you use the products, you are asked to connect with the plant, by invoking it's spirit through the prayer I've sent you. This ensures that you'll receive all of the medicinal potency of the product you're about to use. It also serves to reconnect you with the forest, the ocean, and the flowers, as well as the plant spirits and fairies that come along with your products. :)

This is what the results will be:

  • You'll experience clearer skin and a glowing complexion (I noticed the difference after only a few days of using my first rose face lotion)
  • You'll feel more connected to the elements, the moon's cycles and rhythms, and the fairies. You'll feel more comfortable meditating with them and asking them for help in your daily life. 
  • You'll be able to replace all of your old body products that may contain chemicals with organic, high vibrational ones, that come directly from the forest. 
  • You'll have more energy, and feel more grounded. Connecting with plants, while intaking their physical properties does that :)
  • Every morning and evening, you'll be able to indulge in luxury organic products to take care of your skin and body with. Talk about self-love! Yummmmm :)
  • You'll simply have a deeper connection with nature.


Sounds like something you'd LOVE? 


Then please e-mail me at igniteyourtruth@gmail.com to get started! There are a maximum of 15 spots available. Flower Child is a 4 month long custom program, super affordable, and payment plans are available.

The first orders go out in June!

Happy Earth Questing!

You are at complete balance with the world around you. You are a natural beauty inside and out. You are a true daughter of Gaia, and she has blessed you.

My Most Intense Post.. Ever (Ps. I was a Whale)

Vulnerability. Standing in my power. How do those ideas interplay? More than that, how do these ideas turn into reality, concepts we live and breathe every day of our lives?

Vulnerability.

Power.

When I started Waves of Fire, it was my intention to be vulnerable and transparent with my audience, with the world. I had been through so many times of intense crying, anger, and sorrow - waking up to the world. But I wasn't seeing that turbulence being honoured in the writing and work of so many life coaches, authors, and teachers. Where was the honesty? The vulnerability  Did these people not cry too? Not feel pain at all the abuse happening on this planet? In the beginning, I often felt like I was doing something wrong. Shouldn't I be happy all the time on this new path? Am I not controlling my thoughts well enough?


When I began blogging about my personal life, I decided - as hard as it may be to come out about the challenges I was facing, it was needed. The world didn't need more people projecting an image of perfection. The world needed warriors who would show the bumps and bruises they got along the way.

When we're fully in our truth, fully engaged with Spirit, life is a miracle. It's amazing. And peaceful. But we fall out of that. We get influenced by other's energy. We fall into our pain bodies. We overeat to numb the pain of animal abuse we can feel in our bones. We watch TV shows to avoid the pain of remembering that last news article we saw, of yet another oil spill. And at times, we let it all hang out and cry, cry, cry, for all of those in pain. For the earth, for the animals, for the people, the living dead, who sit there, doing nothing. Pretending. Ignoring the call.

I've learned that standing in my power means to honour these things. These realities of 'pain'. To honour that a part of my being is extremely heartbroken to witness forests falling, factory farms, and war torn states.

But along this path, I've come to know why I care so much. I've come to learn why I am so affected by news of environmental and animal abuse. I've come to believe in things, remember things, that I would once have deemed impossible - crazy even. And it all started to make sense.

As I continue onward - I'm learning to be even more vulnerable. Last week I pulled a card that said - "What would you do if you had one week to live?" - Among the thoughts were the understandable 'Call everyone and tell them you love them' - but something else came up.

I realized, I would write. I would write about what I believe. What I remember. What I'm unsure of but am starting to understand. I would tell the world what I believe in, when all the doors are closed. When I'm on my own. And it's no small thing.

But it's important. It's important for me to acknowledge what I'm about to write to you. It's important because my honesty has a chance of setting someone free. Of helping someone to believe in magic again. Of helping those beautiful light workers to remember why they came here, and just how important they are.

Listen as I take you into the depths of my soul.

Please, come with me.

HOW I SEE IT

At this time in my life, with the experiences, psychic + intuitive, physical + emotional, mental + indescribable that I've had.

I was a whale in a past life. In many past lives. An orca to be exact. I have dreams about them often, sometimes a few times a week, sometimes not for months. When they show up, I know to pay attention. Recently I had a dream about moving to Vancouver Island, and orcas were in it, guiding me, encouraging me, confirming what I already knew to be true.

When I was 11, I was in a gift shop - and they were playing music. Suddenly, some whale sounds came on. Something happened to me, and I fell into a trance. I said to myself "I feel like they're calling me" - but my rational mind kicked in just a second later and said "Don't be ridiculous".

I felt embarrassed, even in the confines of my own mind, for feeling that deeply about something my logic deemed silly.

Later on, I came to know, the sounds they were playing were those of the orca.

I've had moments of intense sadness and grief. Missing my family of the sea. I remember leaving. For this world of the humans. Knowing that the work that needed to be done would be most effective on land. Knowing that, as my fellow brothers and sisters were dying because of what was happening on earth, I needed to transition. I couldn't do anything more from the ocean, I had to take the body of a human.

I remember, deep within my being, asking them never to leave me. Agreeing to these lifetimes as a human only if the spirit of the orca was with me at all times. They agreed.

Yes, I realize how this sounds to the average human being. But to be honest, this is what is real. This is the truth. Life really is this magical and bizarre and wonderful and extraordinary. Allow yourself to believe it.

In posts to come I will keep going. What else do I remember? And more importantly, what do you remember? What can you allow yourself to recall? What depths of your soul have you closed off, because the outside world says it's too deep, too dangerous to explore?


Where do you come from? Who are you?

Til next time,
xo Beth
