C of Urbandale wonders:

Q: How do I discern what learning path to take? Do I have good psychic ability?

A. My dear C, I embrace you with my tree energy as you come into my awareness through your question.

You have within you powers that will amaze and delight you and will make your life so much more than you’ve ever dreamed! These powers have lain dormant within you for many years because of fear, doubt, numbness, anger. All these feeling have clouded your light and given you the false impression that you are powerless and less than others.

Find your path as you gently and lovingly clear the fog from your inner sunlight. Listen to the voice within you that knows who you are and what is right for you. You will be guided by the right book coming into your hands at the right time, a conversation that strikes a chord, a sudden insight, a song, or a sign from nature… Pay attention for this is the unfolding of your path beneath your feet. It is not dramatic, it is not overwhelming, it is not more than you can handle. It is your awareness of guidance one moment at a time. Be patient, and pay attention!!!

You ask if you have psychic ability.. Yes you do. You are communicating with a tree spirit, and this is a step on your path!

What if you don’t know what you love?

S of Des Moines, Iowa asks:

Q. How does someone find their purpose if they don’t know what they love?

A. My dear S, how can any being on the face of this magnificent green earth not know what they love? That feeling you ask about represents a shutting down of feeling, a doing of one’s duty, doing what others, perhaps your parents, pushed you into, a shrouding of and suppression of your divine inner spark. Do not allow yourself to be in this half-dead state any longer! You must dive deep into the waters of life and live with your whole heart!

To find your purpose is to let go of all the “shoulds” and “have tos” and let go of the worry about the printed green paper and silver coins you call money. It is to touch your heart, the real deep inner heart of you .

What did you love and desire as a child? Can you feel those feelings of climbing a friendly tree, running free through the prairie grasses, watching the creek flow, riding your pony at top speed across an open field, letting your crayon or pencil move across a blank page and create powerful lines and shapes? Did you love to open your throat and sing to the heavens? Revisit those feelings and joys of childhood, there you will find clues.

To heal, the clouds and fog of adulthood and “responsibility “ must be dissolved, so you can tune in to the joy at your center. Let this feeling move you to your true calling in this life! You are needed here, clear and open, happy and doing what you truly love. You bless the web of all things with your light- so allow it to shine fully!

Unethical people

A of West Des Moines, Iowa asks:

Q. What is the best way to deal with unethical people?

A. My dear A, how did they enter your field of notice? What is it in them that is mirrored within you? Is it a fear of being taken advantage of? Do you expect this? Are you fitting energetically with them like 2 pieces of a puzzle or 2 sides of a coin?

Do you preach and rail against what they are doing? Do you stew and worry and frown about their actions? Do you tell everyone you know? These actions and thoughts create the energy in you that draws them to you and you to them. Within the great web of all things, without knowing it, you have chosen to encounter these people.

What you worry about, stew over, push against, talk endlessly about, protest and fear only increases that energy within you. It is as though you put out a welcome mat and leave the porch light on for them!

Go inward with healing light and shine it on those fears and doubts and everything that dims your bright nature. Move your powerful attention to wonder, joy, fun and people who delight and inspire you. See the best in others and expect it in return.

Create boundaries. Decide each day to align body, mind, and spirit with your source and nothing less. Create a ritual for yourself to make this a reality. You are awesome and powerful! Own it in every cell of your being and every moment of your life and every word you say!

Signs of autumn

J of Boone, Iowa asks her second question:

Q. Do you have a message for students returning to class?

A. My dear ones, from the earliest preschoolers to those adults spinning out their final years of graduate school: Learn with your entire being, not just your brains. Your brain can calculate, can memorize, can do many tricks, but it cannot understand what lies beyond the surface of things, the deeper meaning, the interweaving and interplay of all that data that is poured into your heads. It cannot decipher the feelings that are at the root of all human endeavor. That is work for your hearts, your intuition, your greater sense of knowing within your bodies and the energy that is you and also part of the whole.

Let the stories and lessons given to you soak in. Follow your heart to those that strike the deepest chord within you. Dig deeply into those areas that excite and inspire you! Let yourself flow with the great river of life to your passion!

Do not compare yourselves to any other! Be guided by your inner light toward your own true purpose.

Allow your schooling to help you become more of who you truly are, to expand into the potential for delight and mastery that exists at the core of your being.

Do trees heal?

Tree as healer

Tree as healer

D of Ames Iowa asks:

Q. Do trees help heal people?

A. Our energy is beneficial to you! Do you not feel better after hugging us, laying in our shade, climbing among our branches, walking nearby, watching the shifting patterns of sun and shade beneath our canopies, and swinging from a tree swing?

Our energy is powerfully aligned with earth and heaven. We stretch toward our sun, the source of nourishment and allow our roots to be pulled deep into the rich dark earth without the holding back, hiding, embarrassment, or fear that hold humans from their true power. When you come near us you are bathed in this delightful life giving, powerful energy. Many of you sensitive enough can feel this energy.

We do not pluck those in need of tree energy from the crowd and force a healing on them. We simply are who we are and whoever is drawn near benefits from the power that emanates from us without effort; simply by trees fulfilling our life purpose- to grow from our seeds and be who we are.

You may purposely align with our roots and trunk and crown. Breathe with us, feel the stretch in your middle as you lift your spine and head toward the sun and allow your roots to be pulled into the earth as if by a magnet. Merge your energies with us for awhile. Feel what we feel and know what we know. We are your friends. Feel it! Feel our love!

Allow the energies of your being to flow joyously, freely, happily! We love you humans and all living things. We delight in you!

Talents and gifts

J of Boone, Iowa Asks:

Q. How do we humans find our gifts and talents?

A. My dear J, the blueprint, pattern, and energy of who you are was encoded within your being long before your birth into this lifetime. Your talents and gifts are not like a birthday present that someone gives you to unwrap. They are intimately interwoven in who you are and the unfolding of your life.

Perhaps you are not sure what your gifts truly are. When you find an activity or idea that brings you joy and satisfies your soul to the roots of your toes, you are on to something! Look within and allow the unfolding of your interest to blossom. Use patience, for there is no need to rush. Everything occurs in its own time and season.

Allow the unfolding of your child’s gifts in the same way. Nurture those activities that bring them joy and light them up. Allow the unfolding like the unfolding of a flower. Think of a peony bud beginning as a tight hard green ball then softening and opening when the time is right; opening gently with petal after petal – a fulfillment of her sweet gifts and purpose here on this earth.

Trust that all you need is within you. Be guided by your feelings and your strong inner knowing. Follow your joy and bless this earth with your light!

Stones and shiny things

GCW speaks of stones and shiny things.

You beloved creatures have built your world on a foundation of stones from the beginning of your creative time here in this great web of life to the shiny blinking mesmerizing objects you so love now. (Crows would love them too, but only for the shine.)

Your kind continues to invent, to improve, to tweak and innovate. It is who you are! Yet your bodies are much the same as they were when you hunted with flint tips and painted on cave walls. See the ancient hands silhouetted deep within the painted cave millennia ago. Now place your hand on that handprint- place yourself in that time and place. You are still that. You are still that physical being.

Are your bodies keeping up with the speed of your lives? Are you finding time to just slow down and soak in the exquisite beauty of existence that requires nothing of you; that allows you to know your primal roots? Do not allow your shiny creations, your conditioned air, your speed of thought, your rushing cars, your crowded marketplaces to keep you from knowing your integral place in the web of all things.

GCW wishes to see the great rifts created in the web of life mended, rewoven, made whole again. I ask you magnificent humans to make this so. With your creative abilities you can make this happen. Join the powerful energies of your hearts and reweave the circle of life. Be who you are created to be.

Let your true natures that began with your ancient ancestors shine forth. Let your energies sparkle and flow like ripples on a sunlit creek. Your love is the healer. This magnificent earth, our home, embraces you and all that you are, for you are dear, as dear as life itself.

Feelings

Grandmother Cottonwood speaks of feeling.

My dear beloveds, I wish to speak of feeling- the feelings that flow within you like an ever changing kaleidoscope show of many colors, shapes, and interwoven patterns. Your feelings are life! Learn from them, feel them, know them, let them flow unimpeded by tension in your body, by judgment, by worried thoughts.

Those humans that walk near me – I can feel and sense the flow or stuckness of them. When there is flow, life simply lifts them and carries them like a cottonwood seed on a gentle breeze toward their destination. When there is a feeling of being stuck, the energies gather like storm clouds and those humans seem heavy and sluggish. Their faces register a frown, a turning inward, a drawing in of muscle, a tension that cuts them off from the beauty of and connection to all things. They live in their heads, not in the world.

I have sensed the energies of those on the verge of sickness and disease- those who feel stuck on one note like anger or fear, or resentment. Believe me, this note sounds false. It is not pretty to witness!

You can sense within your body where you block your flow. Love those places, all the dark and light of you, for love heals. Soothe your stuck places. Then, as you walk past GCW and all the other beloved creatures that inhabit this earth, all will feel, know and sense your flow, and you will feel wonderful as you live in the grace of this flow!

Human creation

A human creation

A human creation

Grandmother Cottonwood speaks of human creation. You humans seem obsessed with constant creating. Do you have to meet the mark, prove yourselves, justify your existence? Or do you allow the expression of who you are to flow easily from your heart through the tips of your delightful fingers? This is the highest feeling. Your auras sparkle and dazzle with clear pure rainbow hues when you are in the flow.

Do you strive for perfection, force things to happen on a deadline, or does life simply flow through you? Does life sing through you – through your beautiful voices that express so much even without words? Do you assign levels of goodness or badness to things? In short, are your big brains that worry and think too much holding you back?

Do you always try to be good, or do good? Stop it now! For you were born good, You were good before you were conceived. Even before that when you were spirit, pure energy, you were an expression of the fullness of all that is. You need not do, be, create, or have anything to prove your goodness. For goodness and worthiness are conditions of the web of all things of which you are an integral part. Striving for what you already possess wastes your precious sunlight hours, your time in this body you now find yourself inhabiting!

Give yourself a permission slip to let your words, your creations the music in you to flow without judgment. I delight in the easy flow of all things human. Through the filters of your hearts, spirits and bodies you create your magnificent holy lives.

Joy!

Pure joy!

Pure joy!

GCW speaks of joy:

You humans with your two strong legs, your powerful voices, your beating hearts, your exquisite hands, arms, elbows, shoulders, your graceful flowing movements, your smooth supple skin a tree like me can only dream of… your language, your nuance of tone and inflection, your impossibly beautiful music – You are magnificent creatures!

I see your beautiful energies interweave, intermingle, create new patterns and colors as you come together- even two strangers meeting on the path beneath my branches create fascinating never-been seen-before patterns of energy (and you think they didn’t even notice you).

All is energy. When it flows freely you feel joy; you become joy – you are lit up like the night sky studded with countless stars and a full moon, you are deep and infinite. You feel expansive as though you are one with all things, (and you are) and this feeling expands through your body moving every cell of your being to dance, to sing, to create effortlessly in the way most suited to your individual natures.

When you hold yourself apart from this flow, it is like beaching yourself on a sandbar, or to become a stone submerged deep at the bottom of a stream bed. But everything in this oneness affects everything else and the current will rise in flood and sweep the sandbar clean, or wear away the stone, releasing each particle again to dance upon the current of life in the endless cycle of creation and re-creation.

Let your energies sing as they are meat to! You are a vital part of all that is. You are meant to shine brightly and freely. It is time to cast off the clouds that dim your light and reach toward the sun! Your light is an integral part of this oneness we call life.
