Heart of Gaia

Hello Fellow Travelers, We have made it through another glorious year on this planet. Let us congratulate ourselves for moving forward with as much love and grace as possible. I want to thank you all for being a part of my life. I am in gratitude to you for being you. Thank you for continuing to walk beside me and for continuing to grow and learn and heal and be an inspiration. In gratitude to you, for your courage, to keep opening your heart when grief set in. In gratitude to you for your faith when so much seemed to waiver. In gratitude to you for your continued persistence and devotion to your own unfolding. As we prepare to collectively say goodbye to the year 2018, may you take time to savor the victories. The victories are many. The fact that you woke up each day and did your best to carry on is a victory. When you chose to apply love, that is always a victory. Choosing to grow and learn and heal and pray for the highest good. That is a victory. Choosing self- care, self-love, s...

Dearest Fellow Travelers, Welcome to December 2018. We are all seekers, trying our best to travel the road of life. We need each other as we traverse this realm of Earth life and so let us do our part, by being here for ourselves first, in self love, appreciation, value, honor and respect. This is real live Self Care in action. This month's Self Care focus will be on PEACE. Peace is our guidepost and our light during this most holy time of the year. Whatsoever your spiritual leaning, to make holy your life, is truly a calling of the most high. To make holy, is a celebration of who you are. To make peace a priority is a sacred endeavor that will fuel your holy. December energies can wreak havoc on our systems if we let them. Busy can overcome and overwhelm. Remedy? Gift yourself with Peace. The first and foremost gift for you to receive is a daily dose of peace. Throughout this season, there is nothing that must get done, other than your PEACE. A simple way to receive PEACE, is to...

Love, Mary

Hello Fellow Travelers,  I've been traveling over the last week. I am delighted to be home in my sanctuary and also delighted to have traveled.Traveling to the US Nation's capitol, to a place where I used to make my home, in a suburb that is within 20 miles of Washington DC, is always a bit jolting. The energies are so very different in this place of my past, from the energies of this place of my present,  and yet what I noticed this trip, most of all, was the kindness shown, the hearts trying to be open and the courage and fortitude blasting forth. I noticed the tenacity and the diligence of everyday people, doing everyday things, with great pride and focus.  What I have taken away from my visit to this highly charged, politically activated center of our country is that we do indeed have the power.  The power I witnessed came from the mothers, fathers, grandmothers and grandfather's of the children who waited for the bus each morning alongside my own grandchil...

Dearest Fellow Travelers, Self-Care tip of the week is an important ingredient in making lasting change, getting through this stretch on your path, and ensuring a healthy future. Tenderness. The art of Self-care requires daily doses of tenderness. Tenderness expressed outwards, gives way to the deep and lasting shifts that are occurring within. Tenderness expressed towards Self, in all ways, creates room for the rush of the waters of re-birth, opens stretches of possibility and releases the past like no-other medicine. Tenderness is a most self loving Self-care medicine. Self-care is the art of listening to your soul's voice, and taking action on what you hear. Self-care is caring for all aspects of your life and all aspects of your being. Self-care requires lavish amounts of tenderness in thought and deed. What happens when you turn a tender touch towards another? What happens when the mind stops analyzing and criticizing, judging and condemning for a moment? What happens in tha...

Dearest Fellow Travelers,  Middle of the week energy update for all of you who are devoted to making this world a better place. We always start with ourselves, and Self Care is how we are able to go bravely forward during times like these. For the next two weeks, we are all under the spell of the New Moon in Libra.  Turning inward, during this time was a very brave thing to do, for the Libra Moon cast shadows on whatsoever was greatly out of balance, in need of immediate attention and maybe even some dreaded, but necessary action. Moon casting is an art that has been passed down from generation to generation, through our ancestors, through our blood, bones and dna. It is the ability to use the moon as a guide to the changing tides within us, the ebb and flow and to connect with the subtle rhythms of our bodies, minds and lives. It is a directional tool, that will make our lives into that which we need them to be. Supportive, nourishing and flourishing actions are now ready t...

Dearest Fellow Travelers, Don't give up. Don't give in. Instead look up. Things are about to change. Can you feel it? Change is in the wind, the earth, and your heart. Change is in the trees, the flowers and our gardens. Change is a slow and steady stream of love and it is heading your way. Something really, really good is right in front of you. Take part, take charge and take advantage of the change of total goodness that is arriving for you. Change can be a way to self care. Expecting the best from the changes to come is good self care. Using change as an agent to bring a deeper level of self care is wise.  As the season changes from ever growing summer to the release of fall, how might you use this time to honor the changes occurring in your life? Letting the ripe fruit of your life, fall gently from it's place and nourish you, is a way to honor change and use it for self care. Letting change nurture you and guide you is self care. Following the natural rhythms o...

Dearest Fellow Travelers, Exploring Truth and Purpose through Self-Care continues.  Self Care rituals help build a strong foundation in which you may return over and over again. The foundation holds that which supports you in your Truth and Purpose. Living in your Truth, and with Purpose, is a day to day process of Self Realization, Self Love, Self Value, Self Appreciation and Self Acceptance. It is the key that unlocks your Light and lifts you up into a more fulfilling moment to moment experience of this sacred journey called life. Truth requires a knowing of who you are. Truth is the opportunity to feel your feelings and let them inform you. Feelings will inform you of what you may need as you walk your path. Feelings can guide and direct you inward for some soul searching and truth telling. In order to honor your feelings, and give them the healthy space they need so they may inform you regarding your greatest good, a base of Self Care is necessary. From this base or foundati...

Dear Fellow Travelers, Self Care to Self Love continues. The need to care for yourself is as important as your breath. The act of caring for your self is as daring as walking into a dark forest without a light. The continuous engagement in self care will wrap you in love and continuously strengthens your light so that when you find yourself in dark forests, whether in your own mind or emotions, of your own making or life circumstances, you will undoubtedly have a way through. Your own inner light thrives in an environment of self care, thus creating more opportunities that will support you in healing, growing, learning, living in love and joy. Acts of Self Care create a force field around you too. The surest way to change that which does not lend itself to joy in your life, or to solve an ongoing issue, or to release and clear old emotional/mental patterns of sabotage and pain, or to heal from trauma, grieve with purpose, be a more brilliant light, live your truth, discover you...

Dearest Fellow Travelers, May you be inspired this week with deep and soul-full rest. May you then be inspired with deep and gentle self care. There is no other way to traverse this realm of life than to take self care to the limits of what you formerly thought of as self care. Go through the doorway and walk into the light of taking gentle, soul-full, care of your self. Others will notice and secretly be inspired. Those are the fellow travelers that get to travel next to you. If others notice and become upset in any way at you for taking care of you, then they are not your fellow travelers. They are not on the same energetic vibrational reality as you are. Treat yourself and them accordingly.  Dance, smile, and walk away, through the doorway and into the light of gentle, soul-full self care. Walking away is self care. Staying away is self care. Tending to your heart and soul in gentle, loving kindness is self care. Praying is self care. Playing is self care. Reading and writi...

Dearest Fellow Travelers, Welcome to post 2018 Summer Eclipse Energy. Are you still spinning? Have you landed yet? Get ready to land in a very different place than you may have ever experienced. This energy that we are currently living in has the potential to assist each of us in creating lasting change. The most important messages from me to you at this time, is that you must know that you are supported, no matter what you may be experiencing. The knowing that you are always loved, beyond measure, supported and cared for is so very important. No matter what your circumstances are, you are always loved unconditionally, held in the arms of the Great Mother Energy of the Divine and guided through the eternal knowing of your Heart. This is not always an easy place to access. The place inside us where we might entertain the fleeting thoughts or feelings that no matter what, we are being guided by divine forces of love, is in need of fast acting healing balm now! We are all in great need o...

Hello Fellow Travelers, You may as well give in! Give in to the expansion of your heart. Give in the clearing of inner space for more love. Give in to the highly charged emotions, for they are taking you to places that need your attention, tending and love. Give in to the giant waves of divine love that are sweeping through your life. Give in to the grief, pain and sorrow and the joy, love and grace. This Full Moon is an opportunity to plunge into the depths of healing love and take a swim in the ocean of your heart's calling. This Full Moon is a mid point between two Eclipses and New Moons. It is calling out to you with clear and concise messages of Inspiration. The heart and soul of life is truly supporting you! It is saying that there is only one path, the one you are on. There is only one you and you came here to shine. Yes, there is a lot going on with many voices and ideas, thoughts and beliefs flying all around, but to stay focused in love, is all that matters. Give in, an...

Hello Fellow Travelers,  Welcome to the Eclipse season in the Vortex. Last weeks New Moon in Cancer, came and went with much shifting energy available for all. We are in the Vortex of July energies still. We are in the Vortex of miracles of the Heart. The Divine Feminine Energy is here for us, holding, nurturing and nourishing our bodies, minds and spirits.  We are in the Vortex of consistent, persistent change. We are in the Vortex of clearing away, releasing the old and filling up on a divine love of the most compassionate kind.  Each moment is an opportunity to sink deeper into the gift of compassion, grace and divine love. This weeks suggestion for moving through these times of upheaval and change is to surrender into the energy of compassion, grace and divine love.  Surrender is a word  To surrender is to make way for joy. Surrender is to soften. Surrender is the opposite of forcing. Surrendering to the life force that is moving through each of our ...

Hello Fellow Travelers,  You will be receiving more messages from the Heart of Gaia during the month of July. As the last message was expressed, we have collectively moved into a Vortex of Love- July 2018. This is an expanded consciousness of deeper heart felt, connection and expression of Soul Essence. The energies are intense, as our collective consciousness purges the blocks to Love. The experience of a Love of this enormity can also overwhelm, especially with so very much heart opening going on!  May you be comforted by these messages of relief. Anything that has been masquerading as love will, or already has been, de-masked. This allows for a clearing, sweeping, healing and release of tightly held,traumas. Both the process of revealing and releasing is accomplished in the Vortex of Love. As our last message stated, love expressed is Compassion, Joy, Empathy, Affection, Mercy, Kindness, Grace, Caring.  These energies are the transformers, the transmuters...

Hello Fellow Travelers, Was the full moon just a few days ago? If time seems to be doing a dance of it's own right now, then let it! It seems we've entered a Vortex and it is called July 2018. There is no going backwards in this vortex of July energy. The portal to a new way of living is opening for so very many. It is inviting and tantalizing, it is also ferocious and relenting. It is the invitation to experience LOVE in it's most potent and raw forms. Within this vortex, we are awakening to a new way of living that allows us a never before experienced experience of an expanded knowing and understanding of our essence, our spirits and what fuels our essence and spirits.  Love, in it's varied forms fuels our essence, our spirits and our human experience. The July vortex is full of it. It can be overwhelming, so read on for assistance to hold yourself steady in this new energy.  Love is the most potent form of energy and when it is expressed, it's frequency is t...

Hello Fellow Travelers, What can I say about this Full Moon and it's energies that are blasting forth in our collective and personal lives? Sitting within the Heart of Gaia and taking a moment to connect with all of you and the energies in order to formulate a timely message, I hear this: Keep on going! Whatever is up in your life right now, keep on going, moving, taking one step forward and doing your best to be your best within the container of your own precious and most perfectly orchestrated life. Keep on going up the mountain top and don't forget to partake of the scenery and to stop and accept the refreshments on offer as you ascend the mountain of your most sacred and holy life. Keep on going, and remember that as you go, you need to be practical and wise about how you are fueling the vehicle that keeps you going. Your body needs fuel, refreshment, rest, recuperation and relaxation. Give all those to yourself as you ascend. That is part of the going. The full Moon is i...

Dear Fellow Travelers, The Solstice is upon us. How can we use this change as a marker for our own internal and external change? If you have been around the sun as many times as I, you may agree that life is an ever changing, ever challenging, ever widening, experience of change. Today the change is from one season to another, from one zodiac sign to another and if you so choose, you may use this day as a marker for change and a deeper awareness in your own personal life and in the global community as well. First we take time to celebrate both the possibilities that lay in waiting for you and the blessings that already grace your life. Being in gratitude for all that you are and all that you have. Being in ceremony, gathering with others, or with your own lovely self, take some time to pay homage to the light that you are, the love that you have, the physical comforts, and all things big and small. Gratitude is the attitude that will spin you in the direction of your truest self and...

Dearest Fellow Travelers, Energies are swirling. Second week into June. The in-between time is still upon us. Many have come to their limits of what is and have chosen change. Life is movement and change. Movement and change cycles high and low, wide and varied. Change that is unexpected, occurs daily. One such reaction when unexpected change is occurring is to fight against the uncomfortable and presume. Presume to know.  Presumptions run high when human's are faced with tragedy and crisis and change. Presuming to know how another felt, or dealt, is the real tragedy. Presuming that you know what is true for another, or the presumption that another knows best for you, is servitude to fear and a breeding ground for ignorance. Presumptions are a distraction from the healing medicine that can be extracted from tragedy, crisis, change and facing limits. The presumptions lie in the quest for why, and from these presumptions come judgment, shame, blame and a whole lot of wasteful non...

Hello Fellow Travelers,  June. The Month of Love. Marriages. Spring into Summer. Gemini. Sagittarius. New Moon. Full Moon. Endings. Graduations. Beginnings. Commencement. Anniversaries. Completion. Rest. Re-set.  What energies does June conjure for you?   Here, in my humble abode and in the Heart of Gaia, the messages of June are coming forth and wanting to share with you, the ripe possibilities. What would life be without possibility and movement?  What is moving in your life right now? What possibilities are on the horizon? June is time to stop, re-asses and slow to completion. There is a whole lot of energy that is completing. The Spring energy completes and the turn of the summer spiral begins.  We are now in a whole new place and time. Slowly the term has ended and new life is upon us. We are in that time now. The slow stop of the Ferris Wheel of Life, before it begins again.  I wish you well. I wish you peace. I wish you the place i...
