The Auspicious Octopus is HERE!

In India there is a blessing, Mangalamaho. May all be auspicious. May all be fulfilling. I learned of this phrase while studying Jyotish in the winter/spring of 2021. Mangalamaho - Are you aware of the auspiciousness that surrounds you? Are you attuned to the auspiciousness of this very moment?

Months before while driving in the car in October 2020, the words Auspicious Octopus came to me. It was as if they came out of the clear blue sky, carried on the wind itself. The windows were down, the sun roof was open and I had the volume turned up loud to Trevor Hall’s Open Doors. Yet these words came from the silent space of my being and I heard them. I heard them.

The Auspicious Octopus, I repeated to myself. The Auspicious Octopus. Hum. Ok, I thought. I had no idea what Auspicious meant and I had no idea as to what I was meant to do with the words Auspicious Octopus.

That was three years ago.  Three years ago, I was gifted these words. This potential was planted as a seed and now, today, she is here. Over the course of these past three years, I have sat with, listened in, explored, pondered, wondered and asked, what am I to do with this? With my life?

Slowly, slowly, in time, with time it has been revealed and now, I am sharing her here with you. She has come into form and is ready to be shared with you and others who are ready to meet her.

Shared, yes this is the intention. To share that which has been generously shared with me, with you.

This site, this offering is a true labor of love, one in which I am amazed, delighted and grateful to offer to you.  Included here, you will find access to techniques and tools that I have used to shift myself, my view of life and my view of the world itself. The practices and invitations offered here are techniques that I use to shift my state, my lens and my energy. They have worked for me; they are working for me and my intention in sharing them with you is that they may work for you too.

This life is magical, mystical and mysterious. It is a gift, one that I cherish and do not take for granted. It has not always been this way and I know this not only from my own experience, I know this because my life, for the past 26 years, has been chronicled. I have left traces of my life, more specifically the innerworkings of my mind in over 100 journals. These words, document the evolution of my relationship to myself and my growth. They speak to the pain, the challenges, the celebrations, the obstacles and the offerings from when I was 19 years old through now at 46.

I know that the gifts that have been offered to me in the form of these techniques and tools paired with my time, dedication, volition, will and commitment have led me here, to type these words for you and radiate them out for others to access, meet and engage with.

My intention in sharing is that something here, something within this space resonates with you and it shifts you in some way. Maybe it is a subtle shift, maybe it is profound. Maybe you realize you are not alone. Maybe you see yourself in a new light. Whatever it may be, may you meet yourself here. May you find aspects of yourself here. May you find ease and comfort in being YOU. The YOU were meant to be. The YOU that is here for a reason. The YOU that only YOU can be.

May the love that flows through me, meet you. At times it is compassionate and soft. Other times it is fierce and strong. All the time it is love, the love that flows and surrounds us.

Which brings me full circle.

Mangalamaho.

May you be in tune with the auspiciousness that surrounds you, that always here and available to you in all the ways.

Thank you for accompanying me on this journey.

With gratitude,

Sara
