The Taj Mahal and Ladakh

noreply@blogger.com (Agnes) — Thu, 09 Apr 2020 04:46:00 +0000

It seemed like not so long ago that I visited the Taj Mahal - one of the seven wonders of the world! In a blink of an eye, eight years have passed and I no longer feel as youthful and wide-eyed as I used to be... All it takes is one good shot and it works - a photograph can conjure happiness and momentary bliss - a moment in time captured as a memory. It was a good trip to Delhi, followed by an unforgettable trip to the mountains of Ladakh...

That's where I met Star - an amazing Shaman lady from Mexico - who led us all in a few important rituals and prayers for "World Peace"... I will always remember the amazing shamanic rituals that empowered us as individuals, and gave us a glimpse across the veil - the spiritual side of life that we are all a part of. Thank you Star, for giving us a trip to remember! It was amazing to have met you and the Crystal skull you work with. You helped all of us find the light within, and the memories will forever be etched in our hearts and minds...

There were many temples in Ladakh that we visited, and this was one of them... These three mini temples were part of the ruins left behind on a thousand year old site and the reason for their existence remains mysterious even today. Ladakh is a magical place, full of ancient history and the many sacred sites there add to the mystery of how life came to be on planet Earth and what we are all still doing here today...?

I was naughty and sneaked a photo of one of the Buddha statues inside one of the temples found in Ladakh, so here it is - after eight years of recovery from the trip - it took a long time for me to be able to look at the photographs I took during that trip. Buddha, please forgive me for taking this image. I share it with those who yearn for the spiritual side of life...

Here is another photo I took in a temple - this one is of Kurukulle - the red deity, considered to be one of the most mysterious teachings in Tibetan Buddhism... Kurukulle (Ku-ru-ku-leh) is a fierce mother goddess who protects all relationships, even romantic ones. She is also known as the Dakini of magic and enchantment. She is considered as an emanation of Amitabha Buddha - one of mother Tara's forms.

A big thank you to Seng, who was with me during the trip, and responsible for some of the beautiful photographs and memories...

Family

noreply@blogger.com (Agnes) — Sat, 21 Mar 2020 15:17:00 +0000

Family is important. Although we don't get to choose who our family members are, they are the ones who hold us most dear. They are the safety net and cushion whenever things get too hard to bear... It has often been someone from the family who has pointed out the silver lining just behind that dark cloud. There are also friends who behave like family, and although some lines are necessary here and there, it is obvious when friends with hearts of gold reach out to help in one way or another... Whether it be providing a listening ear, or providing company in person and a sounding board for decisions that need to be made... Family members are always there.

I am blessed to have a good family and numerous friends who insist on behaving like family... I have no complaints about this and welcome all my friends to show themselves as my family. In an age when the internet and mobile applications have taken over, it is very important to have family and friends who are chatting with you on a daily basis... What on earth would we do without our mobile phones these days?! You don't have to answer that because I have already thought about it, and most of us would seriously get withdrawal symptoms if we were not allowed to touch our mobile phones at least three times a day. Try counting how many times a day you touch your mobile phone to check a message or chat or Facebook, and you will understand how addicted we all are...

So, in the end, it is family that counts, and family that gets you through all the ups and downs, come what may. I am forever grateful for the family that I have, and this includes all my friends who behave like they are a part of my family too...

The eternal now

noreply@blogger.com (Agnes) — Thu, 19 Mar 2020 13:35:00 +0000

In the moment now,
Be present, you will know how...
Sun-set and light-bow...

Friendships are true light...
Change comes often in twilight...
Peace, there is no fight...

The eternal love...
White-spotted, pure little dove...
Perfect friends from Perth...

Wheel of fortune spins...
Golden leaves in autumn winds...
Fantasies and hints...

Where is the true North?
Compass shows where to go forth...
Cappuccino froth...

The mind seeks stillness...
Meditate, no more sleepless...
Peace within, Joyous!

Diffuser and essential oils

noreply@blogger.com (Agnes) — Wed, 18 Mar 2020 06:08:00 +0000

I'm writing this post to inform and educate those who may wish to use essential oils in their daily lives... I recommend Young Living essential oils as a safe and therapeutic way to enhance your life. I am not an active member, but I have joined them in the past as a member and I dare say that the Young Living oils are the best in the market! Of course, there will be some people who are allergic to the potent floral and herbal remedies, but most people take to the oils quite well. There was a period when my skin was hyper-sensitive to the oils, but I recovered from that period by going vegetarian and staying away from alcoholic drinks and synthetic substances (like detergents and soaps). Natural remedies are always the best.

If you have never used essential oils, I would recommend Lavender oil (for relaxation and healing) or Peppermint oil (for digestion and alertness), which are recommended by Young Living too... I am not actively a wholesaler for Young Living, but I would welcome anyone who wants to pursue the Multi-level marketing system employed by Young Living. Feel free to use Frances' member number: 293025 - as a referral code if you are signing up soon as a member: (https://www.youngliving.com/en_SG).

A big thank you to Frances Fuller and Richard Ho (Richard's member number: 1032435) for introducing the Young Living products to me... I do apologize for not becoming a Silver or Gold member. Nevertheless, I still believe in the products and will start using the oils more actively soon...

The Young Living products are really made by people with 'hearts of gold', and they worked very hard to achieve their amazing success today! The Young Living products are genuine therapeutic grade and much purer than other brands in the market... I would love to be promoting the oils full-time, but I prefer to be on a salaried role.

In the meantime, choosing an air diffuser is necessary for my home environment, as the old one I had was given away. The Dew Drop or Dessert mist seem like the most cost effective, and comes with an essential oil package...

I have just received news that my mother is getting The Dew Drop diffuser for free from one of her friends! The Universe does provide for everything you ask for...

Let's make it an affirmation: "I have everything I need and the Universe always provides for me..."

Goldie's birthday

noreply@blogger.com (Agnes) — Mon, 16 Mar 2020 08:01:00 +0000

It would have been little Goldie's birthday today and she would have turned 17! Here's a pretty photo of her with me at Happenstance cafe:

Thanks to Victoria for snapping this photo! I bought her that gold coloured dress with a pretty bow and she really liked it...

It's not the same without you Didi... You will always be the "prettiest chihuahua in the world" to me! That's what I use to say to her occasionally. If you were around today, I would be taking you out to a doggie cafe, where we can order your favourite food - pork liver cooked with carrots and broccoli...

Happy Birthday Didi! We miss you dearly and wish you were still around...

Over the rainbow

noreply@blogger.com (Agnes) — Wed, 11 Mar 2020 12:26:00 +0000

Things somehow get entangled between the past, present and future... Sometimes, catching up with an old friend means having a wonderful day! Alas, friendships are like soothing chamomile tea... calming sips of warmth and floral aroma... Friendships are important. They are the pot of gold at the end of each rainbow... The gift of humanity and heartstrings attached.

A true friend would make you feel better no matter what happens... A friend is someone who cares from the bottom of their heart to yours, and someone who holds on to your heart and mind as a gift... Friends can come in the form of family too... Family relationships are equally important, if not more. Most of the time, it is close family members who turn out to be best friends - the lucky four-leaf clovers in your life, accompanied by solid gold coins for that pot that shows up after the rainbow!

To the Leprechauns, Elves, Pixies and Fairies reading, this post should make you happy! May the rainbow never be over for you and for me... And, may every friendship turn out to be a pot of gold. To all my true friends, you are my pot of gold at the end of every rainbow... Please stay close to my heart and be around me always... I hope that our paths will cross to bring us together again and again...

Happiness now

noreply@blogger.com (Agnes) — Tue, 10 Mar 2020 12:04:00 +0000

I am happy now...
Despite the sadness of how...
The Sun takes a bow...

Twilight dawns in sky...
Desires attract, but why?
Secrets spoken, sigh...

Friendships from yonder...
Another time and a year...
Beautiful dreamer...

Happiness is near...
Present-past is present here...
Gladness with a peer...

My precious Goldie...
I wish you were here to see...
You make us happy...

No happy without sad...

noreply@blogger.com (Agnes) — Sat, 01 Nov 2014 17:47:00 +0000

And so it is that life takes it's toll... For it is not possible to have the happy without the sad, the good without the bad, or the skinny without the fat! It matters not what others think about you in the end, for one cannot control the mind of another. We can only learn to control our own mind. So, be content...

When you are happy, laugh; and when you are sad, cry... It is perfectly fine to express your emotions, as long as we do not self-destruct. It is easy to put yourself down and be your own worst critic when you have been put down and criticized and made to feel like nothing more than an earthworm...

If that is so, well then, love the earthworm. Let the haters go, forgive them for their acts of self-destruction, for whatever goes around comes around. Earthworms are after all, extremely important for the enrichment of soil. So too perhaps, there is no love without a pinch of hate.

Such is this mundane human life, this precious source of creation. I love it. I love everything about my life... From the moments of despair and depression, to the highlights of wonder and co-creation, there is nothing not to love.

There were times when I felt ugly and useless, but that was because someone made me feel that way, or did they? Was it just a part of me from a distant past, another life that was conjured up to make me face the truth... The truths that we bring from the beginning of time.

From what I have learnt, life is fundamentally a lesson about the self... For it is only when we learn to love ourselves that others will learn to love and accept us for who we are. It has been a long winding path for me thus far, and a difficult journey with self-love...

So I say to myself and I say to you... "I love you and you love me and we are free..."

Sea Turtle

noreply@blogger.com (Agnes) — Wed, 09 Jul 2014 08:14:00 +0000

Sometimes, I wish I was a sea turtle... Just swimming about in the great big ocean.

Turtles don't do anything except eat some fish and seaweed or perhaps shell fish when they get a chance...

But then, I could fall prey to big bad sharks or big bad fish... And nobody would care about my opinion!

This precious human life so it seems is a path I constantly seek to enhance...

To become better, wiser, greater... Trying always to make life more meaningful.

Perhaps if I was a turtle life would not be so complex and all I would have to do is swim...

Goodbye Grandma...

noreply@blogger.com (Agnes) — Sat, 14 Apr 2012 10:01:00 +0000

Grandma is gone now from this dimension... and happy is she to see the light!

I'm sorry Grandma... Please forgive me... Thank you... I love you!
To help me cope with her death, I wrote a letter for my Grandma here...

"Dear Grandma,

It is sad that I will not see you in physical form again in this life.

Oh, unless you choose to come back in another form, a different life...

That is up to you of course, and I will not demand it, but it would be nice to see you again...

It was just time for you to go, and I am glad that you are no longer in pain.

Thank you for the love you gave me... Thank you for taking care of me when I was young.

I know you have gone back to the light... Where you are an angel who can take flight...

Enjoy the wonder in heaven, for it is where you belong!

Goodbye for now Grandma, and see you again sometime...

Love,

Agnes"

Goddess...

noreply@blogger.com (Agnes) — Mon, 01 Nov 2010 13:43:00 +0000

Goddess Lemanja

I call upon the goddess Lemanja to assist me in all that I do!

"Let the love in your heart guide you... Do not be afraid of what is to come... All is well."

"Let your heart be light and renewed, for it is time for a new chapter in your life too..."

"Do not fear the truth in your heart for it is real... The path of love is a story to tell..."

Love

noreply@blogger.com (Agnes) — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 03:31:00 +0000

Be the lover of life that you are... Let go of the past and be in the present...
Do not dwell on the future or what is to come and you will always be in love!

Let the love in your heart guide you in every action pleasant or unpleasant...
For love in its myriads of forms teaches you all that you need to learn.

While you are on Earth there is only one mission that you have before you go to heaven...
That is to learn how to love ~ in every way that is humanly possible, learn to love.

Goddess Isis

noreply@blogger.com (Agnes) — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 20:37:00 +0000

Goddess Isis

I call upon Goddess Isis to guide me now...

"What you seek to know is within yourself... Look into your heart."

"All that you are is a reflection of all that surrounds you... Look to the light."

"The sun brings you light in the day, go outside for awhile everyday and you will see the light in your life."

"The moon brings you light in the night, go outside for awhile on some nights and you will see what you need to know..."

Soulmate

noreply@blogger.com (Agnes) — Sun, 06 Sep 2009 07:56:00 +0000

I call to my soul mate... If you are out there hear me now:

"I do not know who you are or when I will meet you, but I know you are there..."

"I do not know what destiny lies before me but I know you will be with me when the time is right..."

"I allow my path to lead me to you wherever it may take me..."

"I let go of all my ideals and fantasies and see only what is real."

Dream

noreply@blogger.com (Agnes) — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 09:22:00 +0000

I dreamt last night that I was in a masquerade...

It was a ballroom party and we were all in elaborate costume.

I was wearing a mask, one of those you would find in the Victorian age...

There was a big crowd both inside and outside of the palace and I was accompanied by two friends...

Where was this, in England perhaps, when all was luxury and I lead a life so mysterious...

Take the sad with the happy...

noreply@blogger.com (Agnes) — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 09:35:00 +0000

So there will always be some sadness in life, but hey, what's a little pain in the rain...

Let it not get you down whether you feel you have lost or gained, the pain of chilli is better than plain.

Take the good with the bad and you should be fine, without the ups and downs it would be a straight line!

Gratitude

noreply@blogger.com (Agnes) — Sun, 02 Aug 2009 11:17:00 +0000

I am grateful for everything that I have...

I am grateful for all the good things that happen to me...

I am grateful for the heavenly angels who guide me on my way...

Money!

noreply@blogger.com (Agnes) — Sun, 26 Jul 2009 12:34:00 +0000

I got to thinking about money, and it's funny how people worship it...
Whatever happened to the morals and values we once held?
Everything seems less important when you have money on your mind.
Should this be our way of life?

I often wonder if money is really the most important thing in human life...
After all, you cannot live without it... but you can certainly live with too much of it!
So, if money has become our God... where does that leave love?
Is there a place for love and money to exist in harmony?

Are we compromising our morals and values by putting money first before all else?
Is it not true that we all grow up to learn that we need an income to survive...
So, while in the past, hunting and farming were ways of life, and some people still live that way,
those of us in the so called civilised world preoccupy ourselves with nothing but consumption!

What do you want to buy next? I bet you've already planned it in your mind...
How much to spend, how much to save, how long do you need to save up for that whats-it?
So, consumption actually distracts us from our true purpose... and what might that be you ask?
Well, I really want to know, if we had a billion dollars in the bank, what would we do next?

Save up more? Keep it as security? Make more money? What do billionaires think?
It's never enough is it? We just want more all the time... that's the human challenge...
To understand when enough is enough... Will we ever learn?
I wonder...

Heaven on Earth

noreply@blogger.com (Agnes) — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 12:16:00 +0000

Another ten days have whizzed by... where did it all go...
Why do we spend most of our days working for money when we should really be letting money work for us?

When will my financial freedom come? I am sure I am not the only one thinking this...

Perhaps there is a service I could sell, or package, to be known for... Any ideas?

I am certain there is something I will find just round the corner that will make me a million bucks! And didn't they say that you would just have to believe it?

Well, with all my heart and soul, I believe that I will earn a million bucks overnight! Do you?

Imagine a world where everyone had all the basic necessities of life... enough water, enough food, enough clothing and enough work! I really think we can do it... we just have to believe it.

Here's tonight's exercise... Close your eyes and meditate on freedom and prosperity.

That every person on this planet has a right to be free...
take a deep breathe and believe it.
That every man and woman can be wealthy, healthy and happy...
take a deep breathe and believe it.
That there is plenty of everything to go around... including land and sea for the creatures of this earth...
take a deep breathe and believe it.

We can make this a better place with just our thoughts... because, thoughts become words and words become actions... all you need to do is visualize good things and make them real with your breath.

Remember... only positive thoughts of love, light and peace.

Bringing heaven to earth is what we're meant to do here!

Heal the world

noreply@blogger.com (Agnes) — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 13:12:00 +0000

Dear Universe, please bless us with rain in areas that have drought, sunshine in areas that are gloomy... Forrests where there is barren land, water springs and water falls in the forrests and mountains... give us back our memory of eden... when the air was clean and fresh, and the fruits were juicy and sweet... help us create the technology we need to clean up the earth and restore her back to health and glory... This is my prayer tonight, for eternity... Amen.

Remember, that we could have wings to fly... and where would we go with wings? Ask yourself that... If you had wings, where would you go, what would you do, how would you view the world?

Just for a moment, imagine how the angels feel... because they are right there beside you... watching over, guiding, whispering and trying to get you to listen. Feel them, talk to them, and ask them for help... They will appear to you if you are ready, in dream form or as a visual apparition. Feel them with your heart, and we can begin to heal the world together...

In memory of Michael Jackson... heal the world we live in, save it for our children...

Life & Death

noreply@blogger.com (Agnes) — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 13:13:00 +0000

Let death not get you down or make you frown...

Hard as it may be, it is not the end but a new beginning...

For most who walk this Earth, the soil is hard and brown...

But for those who walk in Spirit, the ground is moist and the path is clear.

In one part of the world, a baby is born, young and fresh to this world...

In another part of the world, a man is dead, with a death brought forward by something unclear.

One moment a joy, another moment a sorrow... Such is the sweet irony that life may unfurl.

Rainbows...

noreply@blogger.com (Agnes) — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 14:05:00 +0000

I saw a rainbow in the sky, and it gave me hope...

There is something special about rainbows, they open your heart and bring you joy!

When climbing up a mountain we all need some rope...

Somewhere over that rainbow, one fine day, a new song we will enjoy!

Rainbows are always part of a vision, a sign for good times to follow...

They are visions of a heavenly world that merges with ours from time to time...

Like the springs that travel into streams and rivers, creating a current and flow...

It is nature that provides for us the rhythm, and it is up to us to create the rhyme...

New Life

noreply@blogger.com (Agnes) — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 02:35:00 +0000

To my cousin-in-law who has passed on, follow the signs to your new life...

It is sad that you are gone, but carry on we must in stillness and in strife.

Take the good memories and keep them safe in your heart...

Take care of yourself and we'll see you some other time.

It was a shock for everyone that now is the time for you to depart...

But I guess it must be fate, part of the ways of rhythm and rhyme.

Wherever you go from now I wish you the very best of the pure lands you will see...

May you enjoy all the delicious foods you love, like kaya toast, eggs and coffee.

New Moon

noreply@blogger.com (Agnes) — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 04:20:00 +0000

The new moon awakens in us parts of ourselves that were asleep before...

With every new moon comes a chance for us to awaken a part of our soul...

That part of us that wants to be released, the eagle that wants to soar...

Like the waves that are washed up to shore, the future beckons but cannot be foretold.

This new moon brought death to the family, a sudden twist of fate...

Again I escaped it by being far away, a distant story waiting to unfold.

To the ones who grief most I am sorry, for it was not my time to be there...

From a distance I can only pray for the soul who chose to leave his body...

I wish you peace and offer you light wherever you may go...

May you enter the pearly gates of heaven, where the waters of life freely flow.

To be forgiven...

noreply@blogger.com (Agnes) — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 16:57:00 +0000

Green waves of democracy sweep the world...

In a movement of solidarity, the people unite,

drums roll, the march begins, and flags unfurl,

power of the people, strength and peaceful fight.

East and West are merging, fusion and collision,

cultures collaborate, in conspicuous consensus,

the experiment for peace, a political vision,

on blood-spilled lands, where is our Lord Jesus?

It is in our hearts that we must find the Christ,

a message, a mission that will illumine others,

for we are all waiting, anticipating, in angst,

peace is arriving, the dream of our forefathers.

It is Friday now, and I know I skipped Thursday,

but I had to somehow, for the Goddess of Love...

We are at the heart chakra, in our center today,

in harmony with spirit, in communion, the dove.

Follow your heart, it is the only way, for the children,

the promise of eternal life, the ultimate reunion...

Each prophet beckons, each saint speaks his name,

in five different languages, but we are all the same.

Why do we fight, for dignity, for peace, or just respite?

There is evil on this earth, the demons have spite.

How long will it take, before the bloodshed stops?
Mother, father, child, a tear of blood drops...

Christian, Jew and Arab, what do we have in common?

Do you not see, it is simple, for we are only human?

Put down your swords, lay down your guns, make peace,

share the land, Gods and Goddesses of ancient Greece.

Do you know, we have to learn, or we will have to return?

Again and again, wheel of fortune spins, eternal fires burn,

there is no hell, we have Mother Earth, this is our heaven,

the time is now, return to love, and we will be forgiven...
