Summer song

This earth, our home, is turning. As it turns all living things in this beautiful place hang on for the ride! We are all creatures of this planet. Separate us from our home and we grow diseased, we grow homesick and die. We are meant for earth and she is meant for us. Our bodies and roots are attuned to the gravity, soil, energy, climate, stones and rhythms of our native place.

We are not space travelers who can discard one planet for the next and solve all problems in 1 hour of TV drama! This is our only option for a home! Please do those things that keep our home, the earth thriving and healthy.

Connect to her through your feet. Get to know her ways. Ask her for guidance. What does she need and want from us to thrive and renew herself? How can we feed her soil and nurture the continuing tradition of an abundant variety of life forms living in harmony and balance?  Listen to her carefully and follow her advice.

Our earth is a magnificent hub in the great web of all existence. Our home is here. Let us take care of her.

Grandmother Cottonwood, evening sunlight

You, sweet ones, are surrounded , guided and supported by the web of all that is. Every point is connected to every other point. In this way the fabric of life is woven. I must reveal that this fabric of interconnected energy extends beyond what you can sense with your body into a realm beyond matter, beyond what you call life.

Everything is first spirit, non-material. Don’t bother to conduct experiments. You will not find this energy fabric with your senses, only with your heart.  You must experience it there to know it.

All that is encompasses the beings of light and energy you call spirit. (There is so much more to existence than you are taught in school. You are now attending GCW university where the secrets they withheld from you in school are now revealed.)

The advice, guidance, and help of a non sentient being, or spirit helper, whatever form your mind invents for them, (ancestor, animal, angel…) is freely offered. They are the intermediaries for the wisdom of all that is to be transmitted to you and through you for the highest good. Only for good.

Contact your helpers by sincerely asking to communicate, dropping your ego and skepticism, expecting answers, and following the guidance you receive. It may be slight at first, as you fine tune your connection and your listening skills. Stay with it.  Your life will blossom as the spring flowers blossom after a rain shower.

Open your heart and mind to the richness and love and compassion that lies beyond physical form.

Fear of moving forward

GCW speaks of moving past your fears:

Winter sunshine and shadow

Do you feel stuck in the mud, glued to the spot, relegated to the shadows? Is taking action painful? Do you allow yourself to be distracted by shiny blinking things, physical pain, TV sitcoms, murder mysteries? Do you worry about things that will never come to pass in this world or the next?

If you look in the mirror and see a body and a familiar face looking back at you; if you reach out and touch yourself and feel warm skin and a pulse; if you take sweet air into your lungs and breathe; if you exist in this place and time in a human body, you are meant to take action when inspired. You are meant to move forward into the unknown when called, and fearlessly reinvent yourself in each moment.

You are meant to dissolve the invisible barriers that keep you small. You dissolve unfounded fears by shining a light on them, loving them and moving forward past the doubt, the heaviness in your chest, into what you know in your gut is right for you.

You do this in response to your heart’s desires, the driving force behind all existence. You are spirit and body, and the heart is your navigator. You must get out of your chair, out of your head, and into the place where magic meets the material world. Surrender to your heart. You know it is where your true wisdom lies.

Tap in to the powerful energy of your heart. Listen for guidance. Act!
