Heart of Gaia

Hello Fellow Travelers, What is your philosophy about life?  What are the beliefs and ideas that guide your every thought, deed and action? What do you use as your inner compass as you traverse your days? Our Journaling to the Heart participants have been delving into this subject over the last several weeks. We have been connecting with and writing about our personal philosophy regarding health, well being and spirituality. I invite you to do so also. This is a good way to end out the season of springtime and enter into the summer months. Open, new, refreshed~connected! I am sure things have changed for you over the course of the last year, months, weeks and days. Subtle and not so subtle changes are occurring everywhere and for everyone. Are you in the same job or career? Do you have the same friends or partner,  attend the same gatherings, watch the same shows, go to the same places? Have you noticed the subtle and not so subtle changes that ha...

"Move~But don't move the way fear makes you move." -Rumi Put your ear to the ground. Do you hear the movement? Put your belly to the Mother Earth. Do you feel her dancing? Sit in silence for a moment. Do you sense the stirring deep within you? There is an excitement brewing, a new sense of home being brought to your doorstep and it's time to make a move. Any movement will do as long as it is movement based on love. Love for self, love for the other, love for the earth, love for her creatures. Simple, plain and infinitely potent Love! It is the fuel that will make the movement so much more beneficial to you and all others. Right action is based not in fear, but in love. Notice how it feels in your body when you move from love. Next time you need to make a decision or choice, big or small take a moment to connect with the vibration, energy and frequency of love. Then move. If you can not connect with love, don't make a move! Until you can...and i...

Hello Fellow Travelers, Did you take time to plant the seeds of love? I planted my intentions for more love and along with the intentions I planted marigold and sunflower seeds. I then watered the seeds and intentions with rose oil infused water.  The wind was whipping and the air was cold. We will see if the flowers come up, but I am assured my intentions for "more love" will bloom into the most fragrant flowers I could ever imagine. I liken this experience of planting my intentions to the experience of how it is feeling to be alive on this planet at this time. The day was so windy- I mean gusts of some of the worse Northern Colorado wind ever! (and I am a SF Bay Area gal too, so I know wind). It was uncomfortable just being in my own skin, safely tucked inside my home, Heart of Gaia with all that air element whipping around. I could have easily skipped the whole going outside and planting my intentions ritual. Yet something inside of me persisted and ins...

Dear Fellow Travelers, We are traversing an amazing time. We are awakening to the truth of our real selves. We are beings of love and light and that is who we all are at our core. How do we live with this truth amidst the seeming chaos of the outer world? Well that is a loaded question with lots of different answers and insights. For now, what if we all used the energy of this season to fuel us. This is the season of the returning "Light".  This theme is the basis of many of our celebrations at this time of year. The "Light" is the life force energy, the source that fuels all life. It is the "sun" in all of us and the power behind and within each living being. Let this time of year be a reminder to each of us that we are the "Light" too. We make a difference in the world, just by being ourselves. In order to shine really bright this season, we could all use some "light strengthening". I share this with you now so you ma...

Time to Plant It's time! Time to plant seeds of love. This Monday we will be experiencing the New Moon and a solar eclipse and it is the perfect time to do some ritual work to honor the deepest core of who you are. To plant the seeds of your heart and watch them GROW! The ritual work involves taking time to reflect on the desires and dreams of your heart. Write them down in the form of intentions and be sure that these intentions are based in love. When love is the root of an intention an energy flow is created that expands down into the earth for strong stable roots and then up toward heaven to be touched and nourished by divine love. M ake your intentions whatever you like, as long as they are based in love. To have more love, see love, be immersed in love, give love, receive love and most especially to uncover the love that is already there and to witness this love expand. It is time, perfect time to finally live as the open hearted being that you are, with ...
