The Path of the Heart Will Emerge by Camilla Downs

Wild Child Nature Session 6.8.17 #1

Heart Message

“Allowing one self
to be pulled in
many directions, you are.

From task to task you move,
As confusion, anxiety,
and worry enter the thoughts.

Let go, you must.
Be aware.
Listen to the
heart message.

Know this.
When riddled with questions,
plagued by confusion,
and held hostage by anxiety,
This is not of the heart.

Distractions, these are,
to cover the message
of the heart,
to prevent one
Following the
Path of the heart.

As distractions enter
Consciousness,
Always come back
to the knowing
of this message.

Let go, you must.
Listen to the now,
Listen not to the past.

The path of
the heart will emerge.
While distractions
to Mother Earth purge.”

Do You See by Camilla Downs

Pink Flower with Poem

Do you see?

Slipped into the shadows
of your being, you have.
when sadness and lack
have settled within.
When comparison of
oneself with others
is the theme
of the day.

When appreciation
has faded and the
heart tightly closed,
you can be sure
the shadows have appeared.

When the light has
dimmed and you feel
smothered by the shadows.
Welcome the light back,
you can.

Remember all the times
Of living in the light
All the times of
joy and freedom.
All the times of
abundance and peace.
They are there too.
Do not forget them.

Remember those times
not with longing,
for this causes the
distance greater.
Remember those times
knowing they are
still there
simply awaiting
your return.

These thoughts are
the bridge that
connect the light
and darkness.

Comfortable you
are in the suffering
of the darkness.
So the first
step onto the bridge
out of darkness
is the most
difficult step.

My gift to you
if you choose to see … Life is a dance
with the light
and the shadows.
The dance of shadows cannot
be a dance sat out
if true freedom and peace
is the destination you seek.

For when you take the time
to dance with the shadows
with curiosity and patience
You will see that all of
life is a dance of contrast.

Have patience when
dancing with the shadows
of your being.

Love both the light and shadows
for one cannot
exist without the other.

Allow yourself to be free
and dance with me.” ~2017, Camilla Downs, Lessons from Nature

Come, Be With Me by Camilla Downs

(I wrote this in December 2016. Just now read it again and it BLOWS my mind …. as I wrote a blog post about a week ago that will post soon where I sort of mention this but didn’t know I was mentioning this. And this poem sort of talks about what I wrote in the blog post about a week ago … WOW!) xoxo

Swirl Shell Washoe Lake 2017 #1

Come, Be with me.

You are drawn
to me for a reason.

There is a time
and a season
for all that you
will remember.

You will experience
a pivotal life shift,
That opens the portal
to divine knowing.

The place you
finally allow
your self to rest.

To prepare for
the sharing of
divine love
in a way
only you can share.

The mind is quieted,
Let what must fall away.
Removing your self
from the many
directions you
have strayed.

All to come forth
as you came here
to come forth,
Sharing divine love.

Come. Be with me. ~2016 Camilla Downs, Lessons from Nature

Stardust and Moonbeams by Camilla Downs

San Antonio Tree with Stardust and Moonbeams Poem 2016

Stardust and Moonbeams

At times when I look at you,
I’m instantly taken to the
Heart of knowing
That we are friends.
You and I, oh yes,
Friends for an eternity.
Friends, lovers, siblings,
Parents, cousins, and
Everything in between.
We are all of these
And stardust and
Moonbeams too. Oh yes.
An eternity, oh yes.

Skeleton Key Wind Chimes with Crystal Beads and Tigers Eye Beads

April 9 2017:

Finally finished! Skeleton key wind chimes. Hung from an awesome stick with a snug little pocket that was perfect for a small chunk of tigers eye.

Tigers eye beads and crystal beads to correspond with each of the seven main chakra colors. Anchored with a seahorse key for strength and power and infused with Reiki. Just need to snip the excess lines.

This one is heading to its new home in Oregon, yet I am creating more. No two will be exactly alike as I’m letting myself be intuitively guided and the treasures being used are upcycled items and gifts from nature (sticks and bark etc).

You can choose from further creations or we can discuss a custom creation that is specifically for you and your present moment journey.

I’m not sure how long I’ll be creating these and have orders for two more. If you’d like one, comment here or email to Camilla Downs @ gmail.com . xoxo

Handmade Wind Chimes with Hematite Beads and Skeleton Keys

April 19 2017:

Thomas and I are excited for the Alchemist Theatre presents “Earth” tonight. We’ll have a table with our books and handmade wind chimes. Thomas designed one yesterday and it’s powerful!

Half of the proceeds go towards our trip to the Chromosome 18 family conference this year. Here’s another I created.

Hematite beads to support protection and staying grounded.

Three strands with each color of the seven chakras represented with a crystal bead or freshwater pearl. Anchored with three beautiful golden skeleton keys to open the door for working with the Root Chakra and transforming negative energies into positive. Rounded out with an infusion of Reiki during the entire creation process.

I am winding down this nature inspired project so if you are interested in having one let me know. I’ve got two custom creations to complete and will be moving on as inspired. No two will be exactly alike as I’m letting myself be intuitively guided and the treasures being used are upcycled items and gifts from nature (sticks and bark etc).

A Sense of Wonder by Camilla Downs

Hot Pink Flower Rose 2016

“A sense of wonder
Within is awakened
As I admire your beauty.

Imparting your beauty
To you, and mine to me.

To live with wonder
To live with beauty
To live with knowing

This is our divine gift
To one another. -2016 Camilla Downs – Author, Lessons from Nature

Nature Invites You by Camilla Downs

**THROWBACK POST**

February 24 2016:

Nature’s Invitation –

Your grace beckons

The invisible touch of your embrace soothes the soul

The quiet of your peace welcomes all

You are the healer that encourages one to shed what no longer serves

Your beauty encourages renewal with every step in your glory

Show Me With Pure Eyes by Camilla Downs

IMG_5542

“Great Spirit,
With Your
Grace and guidance
Show me with pure eyes
Let me hear with clarity.

Guide me in the knowing
Of the Way I am
To share Divine Love.

Gently open my heart
To reveal the fire of
Passion that burns within.

For every day is a chance
To begin again,
A chance to live and love.”
