Don’t Feed What Isn’t True

Posted on April 25, 2013 by Fiona Stolze

I’m loving all the conversations I have been having recently with friends who are as dedicated to digging deeper as I am. It’s so refreshing and liberating to suddenly be able to see something with eyes of truth instead of it being hidden behind a veil of self-denial. So lovely to recognise what is true and to open my heart and lovingly and gently let it all in. And all the while those ‘lies’ and stories I uphold….no, they’re not … Continue reading →

Gaining Deeper Insights – Loving the Truth

Posted on March 22, 2013 by Fiona Stolze

Being completely honest. I find it’s a truly sweet moment when I gain deeper insight into what I had been blind to before. Suddenly being able to see something I just couldn’t see and realising the implications of it. Realising that it was there right in front of my face but invisible to me because of the veil of denial I had pulled across it. Obscuring it conveniently from view. And such a bitter-sweet moment to realise that my projection … Continue reading →

A Responsibility to be Pureness of Heart

Posted on March 20, 2013 by Fiona Stolze

Just take a moment to pause and realise that every single thought you have, every single thing you say, every single thing you do has an effect on the universe, on your world. No exception. What a responsibility. A responsibility to be that pureness of heart, that pure awareness that you know you are and sometimes forget you are. Now that I know what I am, I have the responsibility to be that regardless of how chaotic my life sometimes … Continue reading →

A Touch of Frost on the Cosmic Web

Posted on January 26, 2013 by Fiona Stolze

A few weeks ago I was inspired to start up a new spiritually based group for artisans on the Etsy website. Together with Star Breiter, my Silk and Stars partner, we opened the group and started to put out the call for other like-minded people. – as you read through this post, click on the photos to be taken to the artists’ pages. The group has a team presence on Etsy but also a day-to-day support on Facebook and the … Continue reading →

Bristol Covered in Snow

Posted on January 19, 2013 by Fiona Stolze

We seldom get snow in the South West of England so when it does come, there is always great rejoicing. I’m talking about when it really falls…and stays. When we all woke up yesterday morning, there had been a huge delivery of snow overnight and when we pulled back the curtains, I truly jumped for joy. I got all dressed up for the cold, with layer after layer and then grabbed my camera before heading off down to the park … Continue reading →

Vibrant, Fabulous Colour- Playing with Silk, Dyes and Salt

Posted on January 11, 2013 by Fiona Stolze

I had just taken my latest silks out of the vinegar solution I normally soak them in before starting my work on them and started to stretch them on my frames. I began to tune in to which colours I would be mixing together…. the first one was going to be a real earthy mix as it was for a client who had ordered a SilkandStars package. Intuitively it felt right for them to be having some purple blended in … Continue reading →

Total Surrender – Let in All Your Experiences

Posted on January 8, 2013 by Fiona Stolze

Don’t pretend that it’s okay to just focus on the ‘good things’ that are happening in your life. Surrendering is about letting it all in. Just exactly as it is. Without trying to change anything. So you have a ‘bad day’. Let it in. And then there’s a ‘good day’. No difference. Let it in. Keep letting it all in. Your life is just unfolding. So let it get on with things. You don’t need to try and change anything. … Continue reading →

Being Happy at Heart No Matter What

Posted on December 25, 2012 by Fiona Stolze

I’ve come to realise that this is my 24/7 job so to speak. Remembering who or rather what I am. In every moment. Bringing my awareness to it again and again and again. Bringing my awareness within, deep within. Connecting with the tiny spark within. Or the tiniest little bit you know the truth of in your heart as John de Ruiter says. And not only knowing it is there but completely giving myself to it. Relating to it. Dancing … Continue reading →

Don’t Trust Your 5 Senses – You Just Can’t Rely on Them

Posted on November 28, 2012 by Fiona Stolze

I was reminded yesterday once again of how little I can really rely on my 5 senses. A couple of weeks ago I met a friend for a cup of tea and we got chatting about all things spiritual – as one does. And the topic came round to how our physical senses can delude us and that we actually create false memories. And on the basis of those false memories we build up stories and an imaginery truth. The … Continue reading →

Sitting Here in the Silence – Touching Absolute Reality

Posted on November 19, 2012 by Fiona Stolze

Sitting here I just remembered that I wasn’t present to the moment. Now I am. Sitting here I just remembered that it doesn’t matter if my life seems chaotic. It actually has nothing to do with me. Sitting here I just remembered to allow everything to unfold naturally in my life today and not to ‘react’ to anything. Just flow with it without judgment or thoughts about anything being good or bad. That let’s me move through it all easily … Continue reading →
