EARTH DAY.

Earth day was established in 1970 to try and bring awareness to the beautiful planet that we live on.

On this day, I simply ask that you sit down for half an hour and ask the earth to give you a message that will help you to connect with her right now. Hold the intention that you would like to connect with our Mother Earth and ask how you can do this more deeply. Write down the messages, images, feelings, whatever you get.

At the beginning of the year I started a journey. I recieved vivid images of our sun. A huge, living, energetic, pulsating, circlular shining light. As I watched I could see a portion of it as a molten lake of lave, a living body of heat, moving at its own will.

This is LIFE, creative expression in action.

It is FLOW.

We are not in control, it is simply taking place every minute of every day regardless of what we do, it is the power we cannot control.

I stood back from the scene and watched as I realised the power of what I saw before me. The sun's surface moved like lava, it was alive and in action now.

I inhaled the glowing beauty of yellow that came from the suns heart and felt myself fill up with love. This was a turning point, I felt my perception of everything would change. My whole body filled up with a love that I had never felt before, every part of my being was filled with it and every part of me was alive with this new and deeply loving energy.

This was the beginning of a new relationship with the Earth and the Universe. It was the beginning of my lesson in true love, both for myself and for that which surrounds me. Everything that is.

For a few years now I've had a growing sene of energetic action in my feet and legs. When I spoke to people about it they told me that perhaps I wasn't grounded enough. I felt intuitively that this wasn't the case.

I recieved a meditation from a friend, which worked for a while but not for long. I found it hard to sleep at night as this was when they were most active, sometimes it felt like my dear legs wanted to shoot off out of bed and just jump around. I knew there was an underlying issue that was making itself known, gradually becoming more and more intense, I just wasn't being told the full meaning yet, the time wasn't right.

This year things changed. I started to feel that cosmicly things were altering rapidly. After my experiences with the sun I sensed the energy within me had changed. The subject of grounding popped up in my head all the time, but I wasn't sure what I was being directed to do.

For years I have felt that grounding was something that should be more of a ceremonial process. In my everyday practice I felt that merely growing roots didn't mean very much to people, they did it, but without investigating the true meaning and without feeling the true relationship with the earth that grounding required. I developed my own method of grounding which involved my actually journeying into the earth. I used all my senses to create what was the most enjoyable experience of being connected with the earth, something that felt truly magical. If you think of Alice falling down the rabbit hole, perhaps that's something like I experienced at first.

I felt so comfortable being under the surface of the earth, not in a cave environment but actually feeling the earth around me as if I myself were a root. I felt the coolness of the earth, sensed the shape and feeling of the variety of stones and rocks that I encountered. When I reached the core of the earth I would lay my head on it and rest my body against it. Here I could feel the pulse of Gaia's heart and would trace Reiki symbols all over the area.

At the beginning, the core of the earth was like a huge, mighty Hematite sphere, but now it replicated the sun. I was being asked to re-connect to the energies of Heaven and Earth. I was told that spiritual folk were so busy connecting to spirit, Angels and Universal energies that they were in danger of becoming seriously out of balance. BALANCE is imperative if we are to withstand the new energies that are being delivered to us faster and faster. We have forgotten that the physical is our direct connection between Heaven and Earth. We have learnt to dispair of our bodies, to judge and abuse them. This cannot go on. The new energies bring a direct and strong message.

RECONNECT ~ deeply to the earth as well as to the upper realms. God/Universal energy is all around you, it is everywhere, above and below. The way to experience the gems of creation and the messages of the Universe is to be HERE in your body, it's time to LOVE your body.

It's a little like putting two electrical connections together to create a flow of energy, only when they come together in union can they produce a true flow.

My experiences with the earth continued I was able to walk through what appeared as gardens under the surface of the earth. Gardens of crystals, layers of different rock, clay, chalk etc. I would walk by underground rivers, through caves and relish in the experiences that my dear mother Gaia presented to me.

I cannot express the deep love that I experienced through these journeys. I now feel an overwhelming love for the earth and all that she represents. An indescribable love surrounds me that emanates from the earth herself and which literally brings tears to my eyes on many occassions. I sense an ancient connection that had been forgotten, but threads of it are being pulled back together again to create a new and stronger web of light within the network of light and energy in which we exist.

On this day, Earth day, I celebrate my new awakening to life. I hear Mother earths voice, I feel her love and warmth and am aware that she is trying to communicate with us through any means possible. Use this day as a point of awakening, connect to Gaia's heart and ask her for guidance. Remember no two people are the same, we are all guided to walk our own path. Give thanks for our differences and honour the diversity of all that is. Let go of all expecations.
