"Your intuitive mind is a gift!"

-
Hello Fellow Travelers,
This week begins a course of study offered here at Heart of Gaia Creative Healing Arts that will assist in delving into a deeper connection with " true self ". Some of you will be here in person and for those of you unable to join, this writing will keep you delving, right along with us!
"The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind it's faithful servant." This quote is attributed to the great scientist Albert Einstein
What is our intuitive mind and what makes it sacred? 
Our intuitive mind is often referred to as our "right brain" or our receptive aspect. This part of us is greatly enhanced by the qualities of being still, quiet, and turning our attention inward. It takes it's cues from feelings. The information comes as a knowing or a wisdom. The intuitive mind requires peace and also instills peace. The intuitive mind is connected with the timeless aspect of ourselves, our center and our core. That is what makes it sacred. It does not need an explanation or a reason to know what it knows. This is the part of our minds that is able to access creative flashes of inspiration, make music, bring forth a new idea, connect with others via thoughts or feelings, tap into the collective whole, and simply BE.
In today's fast pace world we can easily override our intuitive mind, as it's way is less demanding or outer directed than our rational mind.
"We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift." This is the second part to the above quote attributed to Albert Einstein
How can we get back to honoring the gift of our intuitive mind? I suggest using it. Try it out. Be still and quiet. Take yourself on an imagination journey, daydream, meditate, pray, feel, listen and just let your intuition flow. Intuition likes to be listened to and as you do so, it becomes stronger. Like a muscle that is used often, your intuition will fourish and support you, when you give it the honor and sacred seat it deserves. 
I wish you all a sacredly inspired, intuitive week.  
Mary

Full Moon in Sagittarius! The Big Ask

  Hello Fellow Travelers, Time to gather round the fires of late spring and chat up what your plans are for this coming summer. And beyond. The full moon in Sagittarius occurs this coming Saturday brings so very much positivity and optimism to everything and everyone. This week leading up to the full moon may be either incredibly inspirational or incredibly annoying. That depends on how well you meet your inner optimist. You would fare well by listening to that optimist and taking action. If you take action on one small goal this week it will benefit you tenfold. If you hesitate or talk yourself out of it, or in anyway buy into your inner critic, that too will multiply tenfold. Whatever you focus on grows. You have heard that adage, well it is especially true this week. Use it to your advantage. Check your inner critic. Take a risk, take a leap. The smallest risk, as long as it has to do with your own inner faith and trust in Self, will bring an abundance of reward. Be very clear t...

Boundaries, Bamboo and Birth

Hello Fellow Travelers,  We have entered into a cycle of retrograde and this is always a good time to recharge and re-group. Giving ourselves time to replenish creates better flow, healing, clarity and awareness. We all know this, yet sometimes we forget.  The energy leading up to the Mercury Retrograde in the cosmos asks us to better understand the archetype of Mercury. Who is this god and why does he get so much air time lately? How can we use this energy to benefit our lives? In retrograde, Mercury is standing still for a short spell, it is our cue to think before we speak, step back, or stand firm like bamboo. Think twice and then three times before acting or choosing. Be discerning. Mercury loves to pick things apart and put them back together again. Rumination? Perhaps, but necessary rumination. Rumination that leads you to a deeper understanding of what is important to you now. What was important last year may not be important to you now, or ever again.  W...

Life is Messy I and II

Last week's message was about the messiness of life, the ups, downs, ins and outs. The minute you think you got it figured out, life will indeed give you something else. There is a lot going on out in the world and we are inundated with it on a moment to moment basis. It seems messier this week than last. What to do? I suggest you delve in and see where it takes you. First of all, what is messy to you?  You all have your own definition and I would encourage you to find yours and work with it. Messy to me is the opposite of harmony and peace. It is feelings as well as experiences of unrest, unease, discord, disharmony, etc. It's when I or someone I love or care about is hurt, upset or in trouble. Messy is witnessing or being on the receiving end of cruelty in words or deeds. I have experienced my share of messy situations, as has everyone alive today. I have been cleaning up messes since childhood. Not only cleaning up messes, but then striving to keep order of ...
