Frustrated with vendors in Sydney who were just trying to cash in on the insane house prices with no sign of them being brought back to reality.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>In the end, I did what any self-respecting light worker\/witchling should do \u2013 I asked the Universe for help.\u00a0 We needed to find a home that the owners were actually keen to sell (yes, I thought that was a given too). To keep things sensible we realised we were looking for somewhere that needed some love so (a) we could afford it and (b) we could put our own mark on it. It didn\u2019t need to have fancy finishes \u2013 just good energy. Oh, and it had to have some surrounding bushland or a rural vibe, maybe even near water \u2013 somewhere like the Hawkesbury River.\u00a0 I left the finer details of our new home up to the Universe.\u00a0 And yes \u2013 I am delighted to say \u2013 the Universe obliged, providing in abundance.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>So Gaia&#8217;s Light packed up its crystals and relocated from the beautiful Bush Shire of Berowra to this wonderful part of NSW, ready to bring love, light, healing and anything else that Gaia\u2019s Light may be called upon to do.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Of course, as any of you who have ever moved home or business will be aware, there is a never-ending list of projects ahead. Some are more urgent than others, and some are just part of a mythical wishlist percolating in the background. I am planning to blog about these projects at some point so I do hope you\u2019ll tune in for that when I get it all going.\u00a0 Until then though I wanted to share an extract on some musings I had on the first morning in our new home.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs I wander around our garden it occurs to me the front looks pleasing to the eye. Though starting to get a bit overgrown, it\u2019s obvious someone has taken care of the part you can see on the approach up the drive. There are exotic fish, fruit trees, exotic palms, plants and flowers. Yes someone wanted this part of the garden to look like a paradise. However, as I walk around the back of the property and look up the sweeping hill covered in trees and ferns, with its reminders of past occupants, I sense a different story. An old chicken coup with rusted wire and dilapidated wood, a bathtub filled with weeds and a rickety shed that seems to be supported purely by willpower \u2013 all reminders of ideas or flashes of inspiration that have long since been abandoned. These are the hidden parts that the previous owners didn\u2019t want anyone to see as they approached up that long windy driveway. The mass of weeds, the lack of care, the dying, the decayed, the neglected.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>It occurs to me this is symbolic of us as people. We project the exotic, pretty side of ourselves to onlookers but we hide so much of ourselves in the background. There is much work to be done. Planning, weeding, watering, digging and general care \u2013 healing work. But it\u2019s important work, to focus on that part of ourselves that we keep hidden from view, to bring love to areas of our life that have been neglected. Yet you will often find some of the most beautiful flowers in amongst those weeds \u2013 some beautiful aspects of ourselves. What a perfect spot for a spiritual consultancy, for healing work to take place. What a perfect spot to see the wonders of transformation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>I hope you come to love Gaia\u2019s Garden as much as I do. Feel the protection and the wisdom of the Gums and the Angophoras, and relax as you listen to the King Parrots and Lorikeets chatter. Over time we\u2019ll welcome chickens and ducks and we know there\u2019s a rescue dog out there looking for their forever home here too. Look out for my posts as Gaia\u2019s Garden develops. It is my hope that once you leave after a visit here, you will feel recharged with the blessings of Gaia\u2019s Light.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Namaste x<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>If you would like to read more about life on the property why not visit our sister website by clicking the link,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/lorielane.com\">Lorikeet Lane \u2013 By Discovering Nature You Discover Yourself<\/a><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gaia\u2019s Light is set on a 2.5-acre property in the beautiful area of Fountaindale on the Central Coast of NSW.\u00a0After a year-long search for the ideal property, I\u2019d been feeling frustrated.
