Heart of Gaia

tress Relief at your service! Yes, there are many things you can do for yourself to relieve the stress that is bound to come up this time of year, and yes, I offer much in the way of stress relief to you via sessions and classes and workshops, yet my purpose and goal is to help you change your life in simple and profound ways so that when next season of giving, getting, eating, drinking, spending, drama and the rest comes around you will find yourself immune- or at least less affected by the outer stimulus and inner voices that can pull you into its crazy clutches and leave you reeling until well into the new year. First I offer you a different perspective for this holiday season and for many seasons to come. I offer to you the energy of "sacred". In this context I speak of,  sacred is the energy of reverence and respect. I gift to you this holiday season the energy of reverence and respect for yourself , those you love, your community, our Mother Earth and al...

Hello Fellow Travelers, This week has been full of the healing love of the divine feminine. Starting with the Grandmothers Speak Gathering on Sunday and continuing on with the full moon November 17. There has been much clearing, releasing and opening occurring for so many. I have witnessed and been a part of this opening to the Divine Feminine and her mystical magical ways. The divine feminine or yin can take many forms and she is the container of all. She is fierce and she is wise. She is gentle and she is strong. She is the energy of yin in its most potent form. Fluid and rhythmic, fiery and passionate. She is whatever you are needing at this time. We continue on with the rhythm of life this week. The ebb and flow the ins and outs, the highs and lows. What happens when we stand in the middle of it all? What does it feel like to step into the center of your being and of your life and just be in this stillness for awhile. I invite you to do so now, connecting with the q...

Life has a rhythm of attachment and loss." We can not escape either one in our collective dance of humanity and  spirituality here on Gaia. It is up to each one of us to find this rhythm within ourselves, and go with it, open to it. Individually we may each turn within and honor the song that is being sung by our hearts at this time. What is it for you? Is the sweet song of attachment pulling at your heart. Telling you to open to the experience of love that is knocking on your door, asking you to step out into the cool night, turn your face upward and bask in the starlight? Is it the touch of a loved ones hand upon your back or his or her warmth next to you asking you to soften, open up and feel the depth of love you have for this fellow human spirit? Attachment is  the result of opening to love and going deeply into the experience of a full and blissful heart.In our human experience we can not help but become attached. It is not a negative thing, it is a desir...

Hello Fellow Travelers,  You are a part of a spiritual community, right here. Each week these words go out to readers around the globe. Some read the words, some save for later, others delete. It does not matter, we are all still a part of the whole. We are all still held in a constant net of love and light. Whether we realize it or not, there is something that binds us together and that is the simple fact that we are all here right now, sharing in some form of a common experience. Yes, we each have our own version of reality based on our beliefs, past, experiences, choices, etc, and yet we are undeniably connected as spiritual beings, having a human experience. That is our common thread. This week is full of opportunity for more deep and lasting change brought about by a completion. We are each in our own way dealing with endings and the pain or fear of loss.  These completions, endings and loss can be internal or external. Whether it be the loss of an iden...

Creating spiritual community is essential to living an inspired life. Creating the spiritual community that feeds your soul is a deeply personal endeavor and one that is worthy of exploration at this time. The choices we have now for spiritual community are endless and as varied as the faces of each fellow human being. As a child, I knew in my heart what spiritual community was. I tried desperately and to no avail to rope my siblings into my spiritual community. Being the eldest child of eight, this was no easy task. I even involved my parents by  setting up "rules for peaceful engagement" and expecting everyone to follow those rules. Yes, I had at least ten rules that I thought if followed by everyone in the household, from my father on down to my infant baby brother, would assure a peaceful and harmonic family experience and foster a spiritual community. I posted these rules on the frig and explained to anyone who would listen, what they meant and why they...

This week is a busy energy week with a great opportunity for deep and lasting change. As you continue to use truth and honesty as both medicine and catalyst, you will find your life opening in ways that will honor and support you like never before. Last weeks post talked about truth and honesty and this will be a running theme for quite some time. Nothing like it to move energy and shake things up. Being honest with your feelings and your knowing catapults you into a deeper acceptance of self, thus allowing for the release of creativity, inspiration and passion. Only you know your deepest truth, connecting with it is medicine for your soul. Connect with your truth by connecting with what brings you joy and what you value in life. Align with joy and feel your own value and self acceptance soar. "Forget conventionalism, forget what the world thinks of you stepping out of your place. think your best thoughts, speak your best words, work your best works, looking to y...

Hello Fellow Travelers, Are any of you feeling the urgency of this time? If you are, you are not alone. Our souls are urging us to go to a place that many have been avoiding for a long, long time. This place is a new level of truth and honesty. Yes, that is what the urgent calling of our soul is asking of us at this time- to take inventory of our life and to ask ourselves the questions that need asking and to allow the truth and nothing but the truth to emerge. This takes courage and more importantly it takes a strong connection to source. It takes a remembering that we are not alone, that we are connected and that if the answers require that we change something, to remember that we are always supported at the deepest level when what we are seeking is truth and honesty. When we remember our creative source, the life force energy in us and our connection to the divine,  we are connected to our true power. From this place we can then be more honest and truthful wi...
