Heart of Gaia

Hello Dear Fellow Travelers, As I turn within and honor the sacredness of the Holy Days, I offer you a blessings of love, peace and joy.  I count my blessings as part of my advent, solstice, holy days ritual. Please take a moment and join me. Counting your blessings is homework to ensure a lighter holiday season!  Counting my blessings is a rebelious act at this time of year. It goes against the need to buy, the urge to obtain. It puts a whole other spin on the sleepy, dull agressive and noisy, shadow of negativity and fear. I am rebelling and counting my blessings. I count my blessings in hopes that it inspires you to count yours, to share our wealth of blessings and to grow the spirit of gratitude so that it takes form as actions that are helpful in a world that is in need of your light, your help, your prayers, your wishes, your action and your blessings! My blessings...I am so grateful for the opportunity to share messages of inspiration and to connect with all ...

The Solstice Gathering was a delightful, informative and magical evening. We could have danced all night...

Dearest Fellow Travelers, New Moon Alert. Have you been feeling a bit out of balance these last few days? Spacey? The pull of the moon is quite intense right now as it shows us its dark side. The moon however is in the highly optimistic and mutable (think adaptable, flexible, changeable), sign of Sagittarius. This new moon feels too important to pass up, thus the write up here. Spend some time meditating over the next few days, allowing  your inner visionary and idealistic self out to play. Take notes on what your meditations bring up for you. Inspiration is heightened, action is taken, solidification of action is for later in December! Sagitarrius helps you to see things as they might be, rather than how they are. A burst of your own inner pioneer or truth telling, honesty seeking self, is wanting out. It is safe to let this mystical self out and it is safe to dream some new realities into being.  Spend some time imagining what it would be like if there was more lov...

Hello Fellow Travelers, It is the end of fall. The last bits of leaves on the trees, the last bits of green and the last bits of light are hanging on. The days are now becoming shorter as we release the fall and enter slowly into winter.  DId you realize that the days will progressively grow darker until December 21. Then the days grow progressively lighter. For now, we are in the time between. The time between seasons, and the time between light and dark. Mostly dark.  This between time is highly useful. The light fades and the darkness is rich and full. Slowly, we enter into the coldest months here, the least colorful and the quietest. The earth is quiet. The plants are sleeping and when the sun shines, it has a misty glow.  The life is still vibrant, yet it is quieter, and if you really listen you will hear the buzz of life going a bit slower and calmer and deeper into the belly of the Earth.   The longer nighttime is calling to you. It is pulling you i...

Hello Fellow Travelers,  Did you know that you are so loved? Did you know that with every love reading and love message I send out, you are receiving actual, real living blessings? Yes, you are. I know that some of you can feel it and some can not. It matters not whether you feel the love messages or not, they are coming your way. Often. I started sending out daily love messages this past summer. I wanted to counteract the heavy energy of fear. I know that love does counter fear, and I also know that it takes action, true grit and patience. It takes clarity and focus and a lot of stamina, especially right now! During this heavy time, I will continue to send love messages. I will continue to hold sacred space for those needing inspiration and hope, via sessions, spiritual direction, classes, gatherings, teaching Reiki, practicing Reiki, and helping you strengthen your light in ways that best suit you. I will continue to send out love through mediums that are clear and eas...

Monday begins a new week. The full moon is rising and big, bold  and amazingly beautiful. Nature always shines. Nature is the medicine in a world that is uncertain. This particular moon comes just in time, to share it's brilliance with you. Rising up in the astrological sign of Taurus, it is telling us to take a moment or two, or the whole darn week, to delve deeper into nourishing self care. In order to take care of others, we must be taking care of ourselves first. This is no ordinary ca ll for self care, it is a demand that we smell the roses, take a soak in a rose petal filled bath and arm ourselves with bliss.  Fill the well, with the powerful wisdom of your physical body. Your body is your vessel. It is the container from which your spirit flows. It is the dense matter with which you experience the pleasure and the pain of life. It is calling for you to step into it, feels its power, feed and nourish it with a slower pace.  Take both the full moon's lig...

Hello Fellow Travelers, I will be sending more messages for awhile. I want you to know that you are not alone. You have a place of love, peace and healing here. You are heard, you are listened to and you are held in the loving arms of the divine, here at Heart of Gaia. You matter. Many of you are highly sensitive, sacredly inspired beings of love and light and may be feeling highly charged emotions right now. Know you are not alone. Feeling is healing. Feeling your emotions, letting them run through you, write, walk, exercise, cry, and take very good self care, are all in order. You may also be feeling the charged fear of others. Be sure to clear yourself often by taking deep breaths. Inhaling peace, exhaling fear.  You are safe. Find the safe places within and stay in the safe places. Find the safe places without and stay there.  We have experienced a great shift collectively and personally. The enrergy around us is also highly charged. All that I teach about clearin...

Hello Fellow Travelers, Remember who you are. You are sacredly inspired beings of divine love and light! Remember your true power and your true inheritance. Remember all of this and more, for it is what will get you through this time and pave the way for tomorrow and the day after... What does it mean to be sacredly inspired? It means that you live with love and respect for self and others. It means that you are heart driven, heart centered and that is your purpose and mission. It means that you remember your source is within. No one out there will save you or be your good. You are ever so gently guided to look within and build yourself from the inside out. WIth great love, compassion and respect for yourself.  You are needed, more than ever. To be the solution. Starting with your own life, your own heart, your own mind.  You are needed to hold love wherever you are, for self, for others, for family, clan and community. You are needed to take really good care of you. ...

Hello Fellow Travelers, Spur of the moment Love Message. Monday morning love message! The movement that is occuring is necessary and good. Chaos always proceeds birth.  You are fully prepared.

So much energy is shifting, and be assured all end up exactly where it is meant to.  Don't forget to breathe!

Hello Fellow Travelers, Have you been practicing radical compassion? Last week's message was all about compassion. If you missed it, you can read it  here. This weeks Words of Wisdom are here to help you find your inner strength and continue on. Tensions are high as we await the completion of a long and quite unfathomable election time here in the U.S. For my readers who are US citizens, I say, hold tight to your own inner Source and continue to practice the art of radical compassion. To my readers who are living in other countries, I say hold tight to your own inner Source and continue to practice the art of radical compassion, and send us some extra love and keep us in your prayers! It is truly a time of great shift and change. And it is uncomfortable.  I have found that in times like these, we are best served by practicing radical compassion and connecting with, and staying connected to Source. This is where your strength lives. Find and strengthen your conne...

To help navigate this week, I offer you the practice of radical compassion. Great saints and sages throughout time have spoken highly of the value of compassion. To practice radical compassion is to add warmth, love, tenderness, care, concern, solicitude, tolerance and kindness to your thoughts, words and deeds. Often. Daily. Moment to moment.  When practicing radical compassion is it wise to first apply it to yourself. What situations or life experiences have weighed heavily on you? What suffering and misfortunes have you experienced? What situations or life experiences have you changed, made different, healed through or come through? Give yourself ample credit by offering yourself compassion. Practice radical compassion when you would tend to turn in on yourself, judge, complain or negate. Instead, offer the soothing balm of kindness. A smile will do.  During this time of great change, it is a wise person indeed who chooses to radically practice compassion. The simple a...

"The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quite alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature. As long as this exists, and it certainly always will, I know that then there will always be comfort for every sorrow, whatever the circumstances may be. And I firmly believe that nature brings solace in all troubles." Anne Frank form Diary of a Young Girl. Hello Fellow Travelers, The best remedy for us at this time, no matter what is occuring in life is to open to the wisdom offered through Nature. After all, you are Nature. You have a beautiful physical vessel. Your physical vessel was made to hold your Spirit, and your Spirit also holds your physical vessel. It matters not what shape you are in, what your age, or your state of health. You are a perfect Body holding a perfect Spiri...

Hello Fellow Travelers,  Happy October! A new month has begun.  Life is a series of beginnings and endings and lately it seems as if nothing is staying the same. This gives me the inspiration for this weeks message.  In this fast paced, ever changing - upgrades at every turn- world, how often do we pay homage, or even notice that which remains constant? This week is a perfect time to reflect on that question and take notice of the long standing, steady and guaranteed.  In a fast paced, charged, anxious, loud, driven, bigger, better, winner/loser based world, we often are cast into a false reality that praises the new, upgraded and furiously quick. We get sucked into wanting the new, upgraded and furiously quick, quickly, quicker or quickest newest new now! And then its old. In a matter of hours. This week is a perfect time to step out of the reality of quick fact checking, new upgrade, order in moments, mind boggling faster than the speed of the inte...

Hello Fellow Travelers, The upcoming weeks will be the shift point for many of us.  Full Moon, New Season and Change is upon us. The energy is ripe for supportive and deep change. You are ready to embark on the next heart and soul expansion that you have been planning for. (whether you realized it or not) Astrologically we are entering into Eclipse season which speeds up the process and also asks us to be acutely aware and discerning in order to take advantage of our potential.  The potential in which I speak is the potential for love, to love and  to be in love with life. The potential is the inner yearnings of your heart and soul and the myriad of ways that it may wish to be expressed at this time.  Your potential is the song of your soul and it wishes to be heard, played and taken out for further use. Have you heard the song of your soul lately? It sings to you in soft waves and in glorious upbeat tempos. It brings you messages of delight, and dee...

Sending out a quick message of inspiration and love to all of you!  I am still on a wild and crazy, fun filled vacation with my family and I wanted to extend a short message to all of you.  Keep the faith. Continue to walk the path that is infused with Spirit and Heart. Let love guide you. We are always on the correct path. It sometimes gets cluttered and may seem to be unrecognizable in spots. If you are in one of those spots right now, take heart, keep the faith and take one step forward. in love. and the rest of the story is... This time of year is a good time to de-clutter. We are getting ready for a change of season. An ending and a new beginning requires we clear some clutter off of our path. If your path is unrecognizable, take a seat, under your wisdom tree and ask for clarity. Wait and rest. Journal and ask yourself, what would love do here? If your path is cluttered, take one action step and clear some clutter. Physically clean out a drawer or clos...

Hello Fellow Travelers,  Being inspired to live a life true to your heart and soul is not an easy task. It requires many, many NO's. It requires, the Holy NO. Now, I don't like no's. A'fterall no's are negative and I love the positive in life. Don't we all?  And, yes, we need the negative as well as the positive. Balance, yin/yang, in-put, out-put, positive and negative ions...Life is full of yes/no, positive, negative. Yet, it occured to me that many of the the No's, I have painstakenly uttered are truly Holy.  Holy No's are different. There is not necessarily a balance with Holy No's.  It is a direct and constant NO. Holy No's are sometimes easy to say and sometimes not. They are the No's we must utter or shout out to ourselves, others and the world.  The Holy No, is found in the deepest recesses of our being.  It is the cultivated No. Cultivated by our Spirit and Essence in communion with our human self.  The Holy No, ...

Hello Fellow Travelers, or Sacredly Inspired Beings of Love and Light, as I so fondly call you! T he Summer of Love and Blessings continues. We do need both. Love and blessings. Medicine for the body, mind and soul. We are all traveling at a rapid speed right now. Energy is moving, space is opening, issues are clearing, our bodies and minds are aligning with our hearts and souls. This is an intensely emotional, and heart rendering evolutionary, revolutionary time.  It is the summer of love 2.  We are to render our hearts open, yet protected in the golden sheen of grace. Surrender into them, soften and open, in the most loving way possible.  And we all need a little help from friends.  This being of light came to visit me today. I never, ever take for granted the potent power, magic, love and connection that mother nature shares with us.  Long ago as I was on a rather tumultuous part of my path, filled with dangerous bolders, rocks and other form...
