Below are some poems I wrote back in 2009, 2010, and 2011 for the Spring Equinox - Ostara
|
Ostara 2009
Ostara is here, Spring has sprung A new astrological year has begun The vernal Equinox arrives this morn New hopes, beginnings and relationships born Spring, the solar festival of light Marks the balance of light day and dark night Only two such days turn on the wheel An uncommon balance today we can feel Mabon is half the wheel away A day of great power arises today Thank you Goddess for these that I see The Earth is awakening, for that Blessed Be Ritual Rise to greet the Sun Walk and witness nature’s changes Visit a body of water and watch the light dance on its surface Practice balance |
Ostara 2010
Ostara, Vernal Equinox, Primavera, Astrological New Year, Printemps, Spring The dark cold span from Mabon is done Leo, Virgo and Libra dot the night sky Life, rebirth and joy abound, equilibrium, evenness and balance today Tulips, daffodils and crocuses appear The Earth begins another journey around the Sun Equal day and equal night, the whole world shares the Sun A time of beginning, action and freshness The air is fresh and warm with the smell of melted snow and mud puddles, with the sound of birds singing and water trickling First flowers blooming, first trees budding, the Earth awakens Insects stir in the greening grass, stretching their long still wings and legs Rains wash winter away and its quickly forgotten Wildlife is awake and foraging The grass is spongy, the ground is wet and soft Life is abuzz, the Sun is warm on your face Eyes closed, noses in the air, smiles everywhere Gardeners scour for the first signs of life Earth is peeking through holes in the snow This solar festival, from darkness we shift towards light Prayers to the Goddess for continued fertility There is great power when the Earth is in balance Ritual Do balancing exercises Note position of the Sun in the landscape at sunrise and sunset Tend awakening gardens Walk outside and feel the rousing energies around you Meditate on the imbalances in your life |
Ostara 2011
Ostara, Spring, Primavera, Eostre, Printemps Beginning, Awakening, Warming, Sprouting, Melting Emerging, Opening, Bursting, Growing, Living Moist, Fragrant, Fresh, Fertile, Alive Sprinkling, Trickling, Dripping, Flowing, Running Buds appear, Suns’s warm, Longer days, Increasing light, Flowers bloom Equinox, Equidiem, Evenness, Duality, Balance Thank you Goddess for Spring Ritual Watch sunrise and note its place Decorate with seeds, pastel flowers and balanced stones Meditate on Earth’s position in the Wheel Plant spells for future gain Walk in nature, notice life Note place of mid day Sun Watch sunset and note its position Mark the path of the ecliptic Have a ritual bath to wash away ills of the past |

The power of love is extraordinary.
Most of my spiritual family and energy worker friends and I have been working with 'manifesting through feeling' lately.
Not what we want from life, but how do we want life to feel.
So I started feeling how I wanted this trip to feel.
It was easy the first week. Good vibes all around. I was living my passions and things unfolded so quickly.
The second week I found myself closing because of the vibe around me. Closing my heart. Me and them sort of thing. Really had to work to hold non judgment.
I shifted that back to feeling the joy of each moment. It shows in this picture taken yesterday morning.
Then what I consider as one of those unbelievable moments of energy work happened. They happen all the time, but I'm still in awe every time, like it's the first time.
Back story: (so any skeptics can attribute this experience to something else ;-)
One morning I'm playing violin on the beach. A scary looking dude comes up to me, looking me right in eye. I avoid his gaze entirely. I did not want to engage. He falls asleep nearby.
Mid afternoon, smoking hot out, full sun, he's still laying there in the same position. I thought he was dead actually. He clearly had some struggles (appeared to be affected by drugs and I didn't feel safe getting too close) I called and called and he didn't move. I had the hotel staff come check. Can't be in that heat and sun for that many hours and not move and be OK!
Turns out he's a homeless guy. He had moved positions while I got help. Later I saw him up and about smoking crack from a pop can.
Yesterday on my joyous morning walk, (morning of the photo) I'm exuding love, I saw him across the street.
I sent blasts of love his way. Right to him. I didn't avoid eye contact. I was walking, bobbing my head to music, heart wide open.
He looked right at me, with a huge smile, I saw/heard him say - in English - "Thank You"
Blew my mind!
The power of love is extraordinary.
The power of our feelings is extraordinary.
The power of the energy we give off is extraordinary.
May we be beautifully extraordinary! xoS

A Retrograde is when a planet appears to be moving backward across the sky. Although a retrograde is a visual phenomenon, originating from our vantage point on Earth, retrogrades do tend to have noticeable effects on us...which I find soooo interesting!

Letter to the Editor |
|
I wrote this "Letter to the Editor" almost 3 years ago and no newspapers picked it up, so it just sat. I came across it just now, so here it is. Some of the info is out of date, but most of it still applies...
"This letter is for the People of Yarmouth and the Tri Counties,
It must be frustrating or even frightening for you to receive that letter that states you no longer have a doctor. I know. I got one of those letters once. I was very upset. I trusted this person, she cared for me, truly cared, she had my best interest at heart, and I felt that she had saved my life. I understood the reason she gave up her practice as a GP. She wanted to provide care for people who were critically ill. She didn’t want to bandage cuts, or burn off skin tags, or listen to smokers coughing, or watch people's health fail as they continued choosing unhealthy lifestyles - disregarding her advice. She wanted to help people who were truly sick.
And now, I am here, listening to stories from my friends about the doctors who have left, and are still leaving. “I got the letter”, I’ve heard some say. “Did you read what was posted in the hospital about services no longer offered there?”, I’ve heard some say.
I recently moved to Nova Scotia and feel quite fortunate that I've had good care from the health system here. I don't have a doctor, but I have gotten care when I needed it, and I'm very thankful for that.
I moved here from South America, where I lived for five years. I didn't have government paid health care like MSI or OHIP there. If I wanted to see a doctor, I paid for the visit, any tests and all medications. What that made me do was take care of and take responsibility for my own health. In many places there, if you had an accident or injury, you couldn't call an ambulance. There was none to come. You dealt with what happened, where you were, with what you had, and with whomever was there. It made me more careful, attentive and smart. It didn't stop me from doing things, it stopped me from doing foolish things.
How did I and how do I take care of my health? Through simple choices – that you can make too – to maintain or improve your health, such as: Healthy Food, Exercise, Fresh Air, Positive Thoughts, Sunshine, and Clean Water. Incredibly simple, yet we often overlook or discredit how simple it can be to live a healthy lifestyle.
Go to a class. There are plenty of people and places offering things such as Meditation, Tai Chi, Circles, Martial Arts, Hobbies and more. Go to a gym, go to the YMCA, try Yoga. There is an abundance of qualified yoga teachers, from many different styles, accommodating many different levels of experience, right here in Yarmouth!
As a newcomer to the Tri Counties, I am astonished at the number of Holistic Practitioners of Alternative Medicine there are in the area. RMTs (Registered Massage Therapists), RCRTs (Registered, Certified Reflexology Therapists), Osteopaths, Naturopaths, Acupuncturists, Chiropractors, Reiki Practitioners and Teachers, Nutritionalists, Therapeutic Touch Practitioners, Emotional Freedom Technique Practitioners, Aromatherapists, Theta Healers…just to name a few...
With all these natural healing modalities available, and the rapidly shrinking number of doctors, why don't we take our health back into our own hands? As it seems, more a matter of necessity now, than a matter of choice.
Generally, we know the unhealthy choices we make, and we may or may not know the reasons why we make those choices, but please consider that they are choices, and your lifestyle is one of those choices.
Reach out to one or more of the plentiful Holistic Practitioners in the area. (some are even covered by insurance!) Ask for their credentials. Ask what benefits they can provide for you and your health. Ask how they can help YOU take charge of your own health.
A stressful state is the opposite of a healing state. We are in either one or the other state at any given time. Fight and Flight (Sympathetic) or Rest and Repair (Parasympathetic). Stress and Anxiety keep us in Fight and Flight mode - and the body cannot switch to Rest and Repair mode to heal itself, while under stress. Do you have stress and have no doctor? Consult a local Holistic Practitioner. If you have a doctor, ask them about the benefits of reducing your stress through relaxation – which is one of the many benefits you can receive from most all Holistic Therapies.
Holistic means whole. It means looking at the mind, body and spirit as a whole unit - and treating it as such. A relaxing treatment puts the body in the Rest and Repair mode. Relaxation is only a part of most of these Holistic Therapies, but it is an incredibly important part. Your mental and emotional states affect your physical health. Period.
You may think you can't afford to go to any of these services or classes, but honestly ask yourself:
Can you afford not to?
Thank you for reading this letter,
Sherri Sim"

Sacred Dance is an individual expression in dance. There is no choreography, no steps, and it’s not guided. It’s free movement. Its called Sacred Dance because the practice is sacred, the music and the lyrics are high vibrational, the space we create is safe, our bodies are respected, and our spirits are honoured. We are Sacred.
Whether done in a group setting or alone, we respect each other as if we are alone. We don’t talk to, dance with, or watch each other. We leave lots of physical and energetic space around ourselves and each other.
The music is carefully chosen to take us through a gentle start, build to a climax and wane back to a gentle finish. It incorporates music from around the world, some instrumental and some in different languages, to let you lose your self and find yourself all at the same time.
Sacred Dance brings physical, mental, and emotional healing, if you allow it to take you there. You control your level of participation.
You are in a sacred space where you are free from judgment, from yourself or others, free from competition - you will be in your own world. Dance like no one is watching because in Sacred Dance, no one IS watching. It is a personal and private dance. It’s a place to let go and be free.
You may want to have a mat or blanket available for the quieter moments when you go still. Start from a seated position and let your body guide you on what movements it wants to make. Lay, sit, contemplate, stretch, exercise, rock, writhe, tap, sway, dance, jump, leap, rejoice or anything in between. Let your body express itself in a safe, sacred way, in a safe, sacred space.
Create Sacred Space with any favourite items, tools, decorations, special clothing or jewellery, scents, candles, etc. - whatever makes the space feel special and designated.
Now we’ll set Sacred Space for our Sacred Dance.
Have a seat, get comfortable and relax. Start to notice your breath. Notice your heart. Notice your body.
Be aware of the space around you. Bring images of love, joy or gratitude to mind, then let those feelings fill your heart, let them fill your body, then let them fill the room, setting your sacred space.
Welcome your dance, and dance for you.
This is a part of you. It is an expression of you.
Zen Shiatsu Massage
Zen is a state of meditative calm, Shiatsu means finger pressure, and Massage signifies manipulation of the body’s soft tissues.
Zen Shiatsu Massage is a type of bodywork, where you stay fully clothed and lie on a comfortable table or floor mat. You experience a methodic series of flat hand pressing, squeezing, specific point pressure and stretching. It is a profoundly relaxing and clinically therapeutic musculoskeletal massage targeting head, face, neck, shoulders, back, arms and legs, hands and feet.
Shiatsu was developed in Japan. It is based on a number of different types of body work, all derived from Chinese Medicine. It focuses more on energy flow than physical manipulation. It directly treats the meridian pathways within the body. These pathways channel Ki, or life force energy, throughout the body. A blockage or stagnation in the meridians can result in physical, psychological and emotional disease.
Shiatsu treats: Insomnia, Anxiety, Depression, Muscular Tension, Backache, Headaches, Neck and Shoulder Stiffness, Sinus congestion, fluid retention, aids digestion and improves circulation.
$60 per hour
A mixture of treatments is available in one 2 hour session - $120

Reiki is spiritually guided life energy, an energy medicine that channels divine energy. It is divine love and light. It is primarily a meditative process where the practitioner creates an energetic space and invites the highest vibration of love, light, compassion and wisdom to come and deliver whatever the recipient needs and is open to receiving at that moment in time. It is a gentle, non-invasive healing modality. Reiki reduces stress, relieves pain and deepens relaxation. It increases energy, vitality and stimulates the body’s own healing capacity. Reiki guides itself with its own wisdom. It is a source of profound knowledge and understanding. It is limitless and can heal throughout time and space.
Reiki as a word: means spiritual energy.
Reiki as a system: is a meditative, compassionate, spiritual practice.
Reiki as a practice: is a way of life working towards enlightenment.

What is Reflexology?
Reflexology is a natural healing art based on the principle that there are reflexes in the hands and feet, which correspond to every organ, gland and part of the body.
Through application of pressure on these reflexes, Reflexology reduces stress and tension, improves circulation and helps to promote the natural function of the related areas of the body.
In reflexology we do not treat one element. We treat the entire body/system, not just the symptom or issue you may be having. The body is a whole unit and every system is linked to another. By working on the whole body, it will help the symptom or issue you are having.
Reflexology is ideal if there is pain or tenderness in other parts of your body that can’t be worked directly on (such as open wounds, bone breaks, sprains, or any kind of damage or chronic pain) A session on the hands or feet is a whole body session, therefore the whole body will get the benefit from a hand or foot session, without touching a specific part of the body.
Reflexology stimulates and positively affects all the major organ systems in the body – The Nervous System, Endocrine System, Digestive System, Lymphatic System, Respiratory System, Circulatory System, Muscular, /Skeletal System, Integumentary System, Urinary System and the Reproductive System.
What are the Benefits?
A reflexology session is very relaxing. It reduces stress. It enhances the body's own natural healing functions and it puts the client in the parasympathetic state - where we rest, digest and repair - where the body heals itself. Reflexology promotes that relaxed state, and the stimulus that enhances the body's own natural healing functions.
Most recipients of a Reflexology treatment experience reduced pain, a good night’s sleep, and often relief from constipation within the first 24 hours. The process continues working well after the session on deeper levels.
What does a session look like?
For the first reflexology treatment with a client, I have the client complete a detailed medical history form, and then before the initial session, we talk in deeper detail about the medical history.
The client will come in with freshly clean hands or feet, free from any skin or nail infections or conditions, and they will sit in a reclining chair or lay face up on a massage table, with only the hands or feet exposed.
A session begins with some warm-ups and stretching of the hand/foot done by the reflexologist, while the client relaxes and enjoys the treatment. Then pressure is applied to numerous and very specific points on the hands or feet. Expect to notice some sensitive places, that is normal. At the end of the session the reflexologist will let the client relax for a few minutes, will go wash up, and return to discuss the session further.

What is Reiki?
Reiki is Subtle Energy.
The word Reiki is 2 Japanese words put together.
Rei meaning: Spirit, Source, and Divine Wisdom
Ki meaning: Life Force Energy.
When I work with Reiki in a session, I am holding space for Love, Light, Life Force Energy and Divine Wisdom.
What does Reiki do?
Reiki reduces stress, relieves pain and enhances the body’s own natural healing functions.
Reiki is very relaxing and puts the body in the para-sympathetic state - the rest and repair state – the only state our food digests and the body heals itself.
It can clear physical, mental and emotional pathways, if you allow it to go that deep.
Is it safe?
As it is Divine Wisdom, it will never go against your free will. You are never open to anything you don’t want, or believe in.
In a session you are in complete control. You are fully clothed and can move, talk, ask questions, wiggle, or whatever you need, to feel comfortable.
I usually touch the head, shoulders, arms, legs and feet in a session. I hover over the rest of the body. In cases of pain or fear, I do not have to touch the body at all.

Reiki is very relaxing and puts the body in the para-sympathetic state - the rest and repair state – the only state our food digests and the body heals itself.
It can clear physical, mental and emotional pathways, if you allow it to go that deep.
Is it safe?
As it is Divine Wisdom, it will never go against your free will. You are never open to anything you don’t want, or believe in.
In a session you are in complete control. You are fully clothed and can move, talk, ask questions, wiggle, or whatever you need, to feel comfortable.
I usually touch the head, shoulders, arms, legs and feet in a session. I hover over the rest of the body. In cases of pain or fear, I do not have to touch the body at all.

I'd like to inform everyone that I have decided to cancel my annual membership with the Reflexology Association of Canada. By stopping my annual payments, I am no longer allowed to use their designation, RCRT, after my name. I am still a Reflexologist, however I am no longer paying an association to say so. Thank you RAC for your high quality education, and support over the years, Sherri
In December 2020, I launched a Free 10 Video Series:
Create the World you want to live in
based on the power of the exact moment of the Great Conjunction.
Portions of the videos do refer to the moment of the conjunction,
which happened on Dec. 21st, 2020, but
all the other information and exercises in the videos are still very pertinent,
and will always be useful!
I invite you to check them out if you haven’t already, and revisit them if you have!
How do you want your world to feel? How do you want your world to be?
This is a way YOU can shift YOUR world in the direction YOU wish it to take.
Check out the video series in the posts below or on my
YouTube Chanel: Elemental Gifts/Regalos Elementales
Create the World You Want to live in!

It is officially official. The last bit of my business in Peru is done. I have let my website "Regalos Elementales" expire.
What a wonderful and difficult experience it was to start up my business in Peru, get my residency, be part of the health care, pension and tax system. It was hard to let the business go 2 years ago, after working so hard to get it - but it was time to go. There are times I ask myself - 'What have you done?????' But I know it was the right choice for me. Photos of Peru, my beloved friends and sacred places still make my heart yearn - but Peru, my beloved friends and the sacred places are all still there for me to visit and love without the obligation of owning a business that didn't allow for travel, and hang out with beloved friends at sacred places! Oh how much richer my life is for the experience, that I dreamed of since I was a kid: To live in South America! Done - check...and nothing is forever ;-) Thank you Peru - Te amo, my heart-breaking roller coaster of joy - xoS Check out some of the things I did there in my BLOG! |
