ORGANIC BODY AND MIND + FINNISH CHRONICLE FROM 1620'S

I would like to talk about recent changes in my attitudes, thoughts and actions towards the moral and soul consciouness of Nature and our home Planet. And little about a recent find of books. :)

I was walking back from meeting my mom after work thinking I really wanted organic shampoo and conditioner. I have been using Loréal and Herbina before, and wanted to change because I wanted organic clean products plus I wanted to stop using Loréal because of their evil agenda in using animals in testing their products.
So I walk into Grass Roots Ecological Market/Ruohonjuuri Ekomarket in Itäkeskus, end up buying finnish organic honey, organic potatoes and seed n' grain veggies patty materials, as well as Cranberry-Rooibos-Ginger Shampoo and Aloe Vera and Xylitol Conditioner. Best thing about the hair products is that you can go and re-fill the bottles instead of cause more plastic trash. :) Plus they smell heavenly! And I feel I am doing my part for the environment and keeping my body chemical free. Also I'm using the Lumene Natural Code for make-up these days. :)

It feels great to give in to my soul and eat and use products that are the current best for the earth and for the body. :)

Earlier that day I went to get a drink with mom, now that bar terrace season is on full power, but as I was there early I decided to visit the Minä Olen Store right next to the Restaurant, I was happy to find they had a book sale! I found the first finnish chronicle written in 1620's by a priest who was doing time in Kajaani fortress, "Finnish Chronicle" by Johannes Messenius, and it was only 1€ ( check these entries to know why I was so excited to find the chronicle ) . Then I found "Starlight Elixirs & Cosmic Vibrational Healing" by Smulkis & Rubenfield for 5€.
As I was about to pay I saw Maria Zavou walk in to do a angel course upstrais I saw her lecture in Minä Olen-Fair in beginning 2011, I recall leaving the lecture quite early.

Anyway I met my mother on the terrace next, as you know by my intro I don't drink alcohol, so I had some Cranberry & Ginger Ale. The funny thing about this hour was that while we were talking about Reiki, Past lives and Channeling the neighbouring tables were afwul quiet and listening, sometimes you can tell when people listen, and they had their ears wiggling our way.

That was my day yesterday, today on the other hand has been all about my 6th ( Iron ) Wedding Anniversary with my husband. :) Might post a picture entry of it after I finish watching Juno.

Love, Light and Joy!

I AM FAIR TODAY + BOOK FINDS AND HISTORY

Like I blogged before, today is the day. The Minä Olen Fair, the I Am Fair in Espoo!
It's only 5:40 am so I still slightly sleepy but I should be awake nicely by ten.

Doors open at 10, but I'll head for 11 so I have few things I get to see before the first lecture I'm going to starts at noon, the "Healing Powers of Light and Vibration" by Cosme Castanieto, followed by "Healing Energies of Angels" by Maria Zavou, and then  "Introduction to Astrology for Enlightenment" by Michelle Karén.
 
I love the energy of this place, and the people, I mostly go just to see the lectures but I usually end up spending about fifty euros there everytime, small amount, but then again I don't need that much.

I do need some real Sandalwood Incense as it is hard to find the shops near me. As well as the new book on the Forgotten Kingdom of Finland. :) I hope there is copies of that left!
 
I have been obsessing over this book series lately, unable to set the books down, The Oulander Series. All seven books are luckily over thousand page bricks. I read book three of the series first and am now over haldway through book one. I would not get them if I were you unless you like romance and medieval history, and well-- time travel.
If I have vices it might be historical novels, I absolutely love them, I miss the period somehow I imagine, the simplicity of it, not so much the grimy parts - bit romantic view isn't it. ;) Taking into consideration I know very well how hard the other side of the time was, well we all have our little escapes, mine is reading.

Now having picked up the next book on the series from the library I also picked up three other items.
The Keys to the Universe which I haven't even had a change to skim through yet but by few exceprt my husband read to me when he picked it up it seem the Cooper standars. "Isn't Megatron a Transformer?" He quizzed me. "What?" "I'm sure of it Megatrons a Transformer!" He repeated. "Gimme that." I read sentance. "It says Metatron... not Megatron." "Oh." "That's the voice of god not a transformer...."

I also picked up 2010 collection of Rumi's poems... now these I really enjoyed my husband quoting me, I told him to finds a love poem and read that one.

"Intellectuals try not to drown,

while the whole purpose of love is drowning."

His poems are something else, I've only read them online so it'll be a pleasure to read them from a book without squinting at the bright computer screen.
Perhaps it will inspire me to write a poem again.
I very rarely write poems but perhaps there will be an occasion now.

And the last but not the least a DVD of Deepak Chopra's called Happiness Perscription - I watched the first chapter, What is Happiness? and I really liked it. I haven't seen him lecture, speak before so it was a nice suprise to see him walk about instead of just sitting put.
I'm sure when I have a moment I'll watch all of them in a row but as mentioned above I am all booked for today with Fair!

I'll hope to see you there!

Love, Light and Joy!

I AM FAIR ON 12TH AND 13TH - THIS WEEKEND

 Minä Olen (I AM) Fair is this weekend! It's my start up for a year of Spiritual Fairs.

More information can be found here in Finnish ➢ http://www.minaolen.com/messut2011/

And the PDF. of the program  here ➢ http://www.minaolen.com/messut2011/Messuliite.pdf

I really enjoyed last year, but as it was before April I couldn't quite reap all the benefits. But I'm sure it will be an experience to enjoy as well this year.

I will have to see what purchases I will get this year, but I am tempted to buy another Tarot deck to compliment my Aleisteir Crowley's Thoth Tarot, I have to say if they have Ciro Marchetti's The Legacy of Divine Tarot I will have to get it.
But I will probably walk out with a book of some sort, a gem necklace, CD and incense.

The lectures I plan on seeing, ( this year mom is coming with me! She has missed the past 3 years ) :  
"Healing Powers of Light and Vibration" by Cosme Castanieto  
"Healing Energies of Angels" by Maria Zavou
"Introduction to Astrology for Enlightenment" by Michelle Karén
And perhaps if we have time Jonette Crowley's "Awakening Kindness is the Flow of Life".

I hope to see you there! Saturday 12th and Sunday 13th!

Love, Light and Joy!
