Heart of Gaia

Hello Fellow Travelers,  2016 is about creating the life you are destined to live by awakening your light in whatever way you are called to. Living as an awakened human being is not an easy task. No one is swooping in to take you to a promised land. There are no quick fixes. There are no guarantees that as you love more, live deeply, beleive in harmony, peace and goodness that your life will become easier. Awakening is a process that once tasted, will take over your whole life. Awakening is about connecting with the core of your power within.Your power to love, to see, to feel, to know more deeply.   It requires a whole new perspective of what you are capable and able to do with your life.  The dream of your heart and soul is revealed when you wake uup.     It may surprise you when those you love and hold dear do not like your "awakened" state. It may surprise you when you start to feel things more deeply and find that uncomfortable emotions are ac...

The Holidays are over, we said goodbye to 2015, now what? It's still Winter...or Summer(down under) We are still in the middle of a season that has quite strong energy working its way through our lives. Can you feel it?  The energy feels slow, thoughtful and steady, like a mountain goat. How do you take advantage of this energy at this time? By taking your time. No rush, no hurry, no haphazardly pushing through. Take time. Wait. Stop. Saunter. Some things must get done and that is true, yet in the goal setting, long term issues that may be arising right now, it is best to take our time, be steady, wait. You won't miss the green light. It will be so bright that you will notice it. When you are ready to go forward, your steps will be assured. You will be well rested, and ready.  It is time to ready yourself by waiting. Waiting and enjoying the view while you wait. Enjoyment makes the waiting more worthwhile. Take in the moments with slow, steady and thoughtful breaths...

Saying goodbye is not easy. I like to hold on, wait, come back around, hold on some more! And finally, let go... and then peak to see if it's really gone... My children and I have a ritual. Saying goodbye goes something like this~ "Bye mom", kisses, hugs, make sure leftovers are in hand, then we say bye again, more kisses and hugs, more scurrying to be sure grandchildren and "granddoggies" are safe and secure in their respective vehicles. Then finally they get into their car and I watch as they drive away, waving until I can't see them anymore. The best part though is the honking. Whoever is driving away honks even when they get out of sight. I get to hear them until I can't see them. Makes me smile and cry both at the same time. Saying goodbye to 2015 feels like that.  It's not wanting to let go and it must. Am I not wanting to let go? Until I hear it's final sound? Or take in it's final sights? It must let go now because there ...

Hello Fellow Travelers, The end of the year is upon us. 2015 has been quite a year for me and for so many others.  How do you want to end this year? How would you like to round out the end of whatever this year has been for you? read more I offer you a reflective journaling assignment that will assist you in clearing, releasing, blessing and putting the final touches on 2015. Before I give you the questions and directions for reflection, let me remind you of a few key points regarding completions. There is really no complete ending. Every completion has within it the beginning of the next phase. The whole month of December can be a completion of 2015 and also the beginning of a new phase. The calendar dates do not always coincide with what is going on deep within your soul or what may be transpiring in your outer life either. You may feel your life has much new growth right now, yet somewhere there is a completion occuring. There always is.  Journaling prompt~ ...

Hello Fellow Travelers,  Peace!  I offer you the powerful and potent energy of peace right now. No matter who you are, what you are doing, what is going on, I offer you the solace and comfort of peace. Just for this moment .  I am finding, as I am sure you are too, that peace is a precious commodity. It is something that is fleeting and also so very necessary for our survival. Peace is a state of mind, heart, body and soul. And it is under attack, again.  So, once again, I offer you the solace and comfort of peace. In this moment. Can you conjure Peace? Can you muster it's essence? I know you can! Next time you are feeling everything but peace, remember this. You may choose Peace. If just for one moment.  Where in your life right now are you in conflict? Offer this conflict Peace. Where in your own life are you struggling? Offer this struggle Peace. Where in your own life are you angry, hating, dissilutioned or fearful? Offer the anger, hate, ...

Hello Fellow Travelers,  Happy Friday, First Friday of November and we are into the season of gratitude.  November is officially the Season of Gratitude here at Heart of Gaia. I am kicking it off with an Open House and you are all invited to stop by.  This year I have much to be grateful for. I do each year, each day, each moment, yet this year seems different. Different in that the year behind me was marked with both great celebration and great challenge. Both ends of a spectrum of experiences that took the joy meter and the greif meter off the charts.  I am now somewhere in the middle, settling in and so very grateful to have this middle ground.  Life is like that. Both ends of a spectrum of experiences and everywhere in between. How often though, do we wish it to be different, most especially when it is difficult? Enter gratitude. Gratitude is not an easy energy to enter into. It takes courage to find the gratitude in the tough times and dicipl...

"Start by doing what's necessary; then do what's possible, and suddenly you are doing the impossible."--St Francis of Assisi Dear Fellow Travelers,  What task is in front of you? What is it that you are looking forward to in your life that may seem like an impossibility?  It may be a much needed conversation, a work related chore or challenge, an illness in a family member or yourself. It may be a creative idea that will lead you to the next grand adventure of your life, it may be a new relationship, either started or just on the horizon. The task may simply be to clean, redecorate, or re-arrange your home, work space or life.  What seems like an impossible, daunting, unimagineable, impossibility in your life right now? It does not have to be a negative thing, it could be the most amazing and exciting thing ever, or the simplest of tasks, yet for some reason at this time it feels like a lot! Be honest with yourself and do not judge whatever it is that is fe...
