The Zen of Cupcakes

What is the allure of cupcakes? Have you ever pondered upon this? Have you ever asked yourself, “Why do I like cupcakes?” Neither did I, until I was immersed into this cupcake batter when I was asked to do tarot card readings at a ‘Cupcake Wellness Night’ event.

That was several months ago. Since then, there has been two very successful Cupcake Wellness Nights at The Bead Gallery here in Honolulu. Jamie, a student of mine who owns the store, concocted this whimsical idea and mixed all the necessary ingredients together into a successful recipe.

Here’s the recipe:

1) A store that offers everyone beautiful products and wonderful customer service. The Bead Gallery has everything under the sun for aficionados like you who love all things having to do with beads and beadwork.

2) Tarot card reader (me, in this recipe). I am offering my services as a spiritual healer, in addition to being a tarot card reader. Because the primary intention agreed upon between Jamie and I, is to give everyone a ’spiritual hello’. In a 5 minute reading using my Osho Zen tarot deck, I choose a special ‘word’ for you. The word I select is related to something on the soul level that you are seeking… To remind you as to who you are… To help you on your spiritual journey… I like to look at it as planting seeds (beads) of inspiration… Seeds of hope, love, peace, joy, prosperity, forgiveness, beingness, etc…

3) Instant gratification. After receiving ‘the word’, it will be stamped onto a sterling silver charm. You then have the opportunity to select a gemstone that perfectly matches your inspirational word. Jamie and her assistant will guide you through selecting a gemstone that resonates with your soul. You also get to select how you would like to wear your new work of art, whether it be as a necklace or a bracelet. Be creative. Once you make your selection, ‘elves’ (two upcoming events are planned for the Christmas giving season) in Santa’s (Jason — Jamie’s husband) workshop will assemble your gift. It can be a gift to yourself or for a special someone.

Combine the aforementioned ingredients and stir gently… Place in the warm nurturing hands of Spirit. Set the timer to “Perfection’. Let go, and see what comes out of the oven. (This is the fun part!)

Mmmmmm. The cupcakes we have had the honor of having so far have been quite good…

So good in fact, there has been an overwhelming demand for more. Yes, there are more Cupcake Wellness Nights in store for you!

The November date is already booked. Which prompted Jamie to schedule two events for December. Here are the dates and times:

December 11, (Friday) from 4 – 8 p.m.

December 19, (Saturday) from 4 – 8 p.m.

Both events will be at The Bead Gallery. Please email Jamie to reserve your time slot, as there are only a set amount of readings that will be available for each event. Thank you.

One final word of wisdom:

The main ingredient for a delightful cupcake is you! We look forward to seeing you there. Just be open to knowing and being you. And love the zen of cupcakes… Enjoy!

In Spirit,

Stephen
