Heart of Gaia

The following is a true story about angelic helpers.     “Blessed” is the word used to describe the experience of knowing the presence of angels among us—deities, parts of the divine whole, protecting, urging and assisting in whatever ways we allow. No doubt the light beings I refer to as angles had their hand in saving my life and the life of my eight year old son four winters ago. That particular winter holiday found my family shattered. Devastation had descended upon us in the form of separation and impending divorce. To help ease the pain we made a trip to Sacramento California. We spent the holiday surrounded by the loving support of my big Italian family.     As I planned the drive home I was suddenly bothered by fearful thoughts. I obsessively checked the weather channel and found sunny weather abound. The day came for our departure. I would be traveling with just my youngest son in tow. My mother imparted many cautions upon us as we left. Th...

Hello Fellow Travelers, Because of a crazy day called "black Friday" here in the US, when consumers are urged to spend and buy and well...consume, after a day of consuming~  I am compelled to offer this alternative. A new tradition so to speak. White Friday.  It is a day to be in gratitude for yourself and the bright light that you are. No matter what state your inner light seems to be at this time~ Shining bright, a bit flat, bulbs burned out, you are to be in gratitude for yourself, the beautiful soul/spirit/human creation that you are. Be in gratitude and thank yourself that you made it through another day, another year to be right here and now, reading this. No matter what state of health and well being you are in financially , emotionally, spiritually, you have made some sort of positive change. Congratulate yourself for that on White Friday. You were somehow guided to make your life better, or open your heart, or lift up your spirits. Maybe you were ...

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.

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...
