all that is….Energy

I bought some books on shamanism a few months ago and tried to read them and just could not get into them for some reason. However, now a few months on I have picked up these books and am reading them more intently. Perhaps I am ready for the message that is in these books, or at least for the parts that I am reading. They both seem to be talking about some of the basic principles of Shamanic practice, but I seem to be reading alot about the energy that surrounds us and how it alters. It would seem that I need to learn more about how to sense my own, how to become more aware of it and how to manipulate it more. Well it should be fun at least!

A picture of my little dragon

Here is a picture of my little dragon tattoo, as promised.

I saw this wonderful tattoo on the internet after doing a search on tattoos and dragons, in fact I thought it was so wonderful I decided that it was the perfect first tattoo for me. So a friend of mine, who happens to be a tattooist, redrew the tattoo slightly, adding his flavour and style to it and now I have something that I am so pleased with I am thinking whether to have it mirrored on my right hand too.

And here is the other tattoo, all credit must be given too its creator though, and here is a link to his site here toco_tattoo

A bit of a weird month

Well what can I say, the last month has been an interesting month. First I was all set to have my chest waxed for charity and then it was postponed until September (which annoyed me). For some reason I was actually looking forward to the event, perhaps because it was just after my birthday, the two sort of melded into each other. So I was left high and dry with nothing to do, so guess what I did? I looked for something to do instead of it, and now, as of yesterday I am the proud owner of a tattoo. I think its great too. So much so I am thinking about having it again. The tattoo in question is on my left hand between my thumb and first finger. It is a small image of a dragon, highly stylised. I will have to upload a pic of it when it calms down a bit. The tattoo means so many things to me now, it is difficult to categorise them all. Yes, perhaps a few of you are thinking midlife crisis and you might be right, but on and off I have been wanting a tattoo for some years now, just never quite plucked up the courage to take the plunge. And this one is quite discreet (yet highly visable). What else is happening in my life at the moment? Well I am slowly going back on my diet (although you are not suppose to use that term). Last week I started eating more fruit and changed to having musli for breakfast instead of 3 toast and 2 eggs. This week I have incorporated more elements of the diet that I found to work best for me (Slimmers world). So hopefully over the summer months the weight will start to drop off and I can start to look at those other clothes in my wardrobe. I am not looking for miracles, but if I can be on the right side of 20 stone then it will be great. I am wearing my jewellry today, which if you ask my friends, is a sign that I am feeling good at present, maybe a bit knacked, but good.
