awaken chakra oils
When I received a “divine nudge”directing me to make a set of chakra oils I thought I had heard wrong. I knew nothing about how to create essential oil blends. But then I heard, “Trust.” And then, “Enjoy.” And that is what I did! I immersed myself in reading and research. I smelled and blended and smelled and blended and smelled. I learned which bottles were the best for preserving the oils integrity and potency and I learned how to design labels and a brochure. And, I created a set of chakra oils! I loved this process and I hope that you will love these oils made with the purest ingredients and lots of reiki love <3
inspiring grace
Creating the Inspiring Grace deck was truly a journey of love for me. The inspiration came from my beautiful mother, Marie. I watched her walk through life embodying strength, kindness and grace. My mother always saw the goodness in people and always encouraged people to trust that they possessed their own abundance of inner wisdom. This is what I wish for you!
These cards can be used in any way that feels right for you. Lightheartedness and playfulness are definitely encouraged!
chakra jewelry
Dear Friends,
I will be making less jewelry moving forward, as I spend more time and focus creating art and blending essential oils. I will do my best to keep my current jewelry offerings posted on this site, instagram, and facebook.
Feeling a deep connection with Mother Earth, I became drawn to the healing properties of crystals & gemstones. Each stone holds and transmits energy at unique vibrational frequencies that correspond to the energy centers or chakras in our being.
reiki
Reiki is a way of life for me, a way of Being. I am dedicated to a daily Reiki practice which cultivates an ever deepening discovery of True Self. My purpose in life is to live in alignment with my highest Self. It is to offer Reiki and myself as an unconditional loving presence to others in support of their unique journeys of self-discovery and healing. I am currently offering reiki sessions at My Backyard Studio in Warren, VT and at Mountain Rose Integrated Wellness in Waitsfield, VT. I also offer Distance Reiki sessions and Animal Reiki sessions. Please email maryellen@awakenvt.com or call 802.793.6135 to schedule.
Women's Spring Beltaine Sharing Circle
Sunday, April 30th 2023 5-7pm
hosted by Ana del Rosal & Mary Ellen Alberti
at Mountain Rose Integrated Wellness Center, Waitsfield
Join us as we honor the spring season and
the celebration of Beltaine 🔥
We are in the season of spring and May 1st is the celebration of Beltaine -
a joyful, festive time for coming together to celebrate life.
Beltaine is a Gaelic Celtic festival that marks the midway point between the spring equinox and summer soltstice in the northern hemisphere. Now, at the peak of Spring. we may notice the difference in the Earth’s energy compared to the beginning of the season. We can see evidence all around us that the Wheel of the Year has shifted. The days are noticeably longer with the sun setting much later than it did at the Spring Equinox. It’s grown considerably warmer outside. At the Spring Equinox new life was just beginning to emerge, but here, at the beginning of May, there is no denying that the Earth has been pushed from its tentative new beginning into full awakening and rebirth.
Beltaine signifies “the return of light” and the casting off of darkness. It is a time for celebrating fertility, both in the context of our biological functions as well as our own creative energies, the fertility of our creative community.
At this time, Earth energies are at their strongest and most active.
All of life is bursting with potent fertility; the potential becomes conception.
Beltaine is a Celtic word meaning “the fires of Bel”, Bel referring to the Celtic sun god Belenus and “tene” being the Old Irish word for fire. Bonfires were lit during this festival’s celebrations with the belief that these fires would purify, protect, and increase fertility of the people, their animals, and their crops.
In ancient communities, all hearth fires would have been extinguished and a new fire lit which would have then been used to relight people’s hearths in their own homes. In this way the community was connected to each other by the sacred fire which was central to all. The festival would also have been a time of courtship rituals and a celebration of our own fertility!
Our time together will include:
We invite you to bring springtime offerings for our altar:
flowers, seeds, acorns, antler or horn, or a small vessel to symbolize sacred feminine energy.
