Prayer: Earth and Water

Gaia's Womb...

As you pray for the Earth, pray for the water. 

Pray for the water of your body before you eat…and the water of your food…that the water of your body be cleansed and nourished by the water of the food, that the waters you breathe out with each breath are purified as they pass through you, that your body be purified by the waters, that all the waters of the planet be pure. 

Send love to the waters of your own body as well as to the planet.  All waters are one water-body on this planet, as all water is endlessly recycled through the breath…breath of ocean tides, breath of clouds rising and falling again to earth, breath of your body, in and out…all is a constant circuit of life renewing: blessing, cleansing, healing, bringing new life. 

There is no life on this planet without water.  Every cell of every thing is mainly water.  Water carries energies and properties we have yet to imagine much less comprehend.  Bless and pray for the water. 

As you start with what is closest to home…your own body, you begin in your own root here on Earth.  It is important to always start here…with your own root, your own body.  Only from your rooted body, self, and place on Earth can you send forth powerful healing.  The healing is as much in your recognition of oneness and dependence as it is in your “sending” and intention. 

Be thankful, be loving, be kind…and send smiles and loving peace to your own waters and all the waters of the Earth through the endless recycling of which your breath is an integral part.  In this oneness all of Gaia is together.  In it there is healing and health.

Gift Received…

My thanks to Leslie for the letter below, which she sent out today.  Sometimes reading Our Friends words through other people’s eyes gives me new appreciation.  So it was today.

My life has been rather busy recently, and I have not had time to get a new post completed.  I hope to do so very soon.  Inspiration rises with the return of the sun in our parts.  I hope spring is blessing you.  Stephanie

 

 

Praying for the water of our water planet, of our bodies, of our Life...water responds to our prayers...we can offer our gratitude, our apology, our desire for forgiveness...in so doing we join and all life on Earth flows together...

 

Since I got the green light from Immigration, I have been listening to some of the many recorded sessions I have had with Stephanie Nead and Our Friends during the last 12 years or so.  I don’t know what I would have done without their insights, explanations and loving support to make extremely huge changes in my life during those years, realigning my outer world to better match the essence of who I truly am.  
I went online to see what they have to say about the current global situation and found two web pages of particular interest.  I’ve included the two quotes from one page here – and highly recommend that you check out the other webpage and Stephanie’s whole website online: https://innerteacher.wordpress.com/humans-gaia-en-earthed-2/.
Blessings to each one of you!  It is indeed a blessing to me, to have you be part of my world!
Leslie
 
Quote of the Day 
In honor of the Summer solstice, I am posting two quotes of Our Friends.  They both feel essential to this 
day.      -Stephanie

Disconnection from the Earth leads to disconnection from your own bodies and one another. 
Whether you are disconnecting or connecting, it is always reinforcing. Connect more deeply, consciously and consistently with yourself, with one another, with animals, with the stars, with the energies of Creation, and you reinforce connection.  Disconnect from yourself, and you cannot help but disconnect from all others.  You must be connected, with compassion, acceptance, love and peace with yourself. 
For most humans, it is most difficult to connect within themselves in a loving, accepting, respectful way, and then to connect with other human beings in a loving, respectful, accepting way.  It is the most challenging work for human beings right now.                               Our Friends
 
Blessing and Gratitude 
It is a great gift to Creation, to the Spirit of Life, that you feel richly blessed.  It is a huge blessing to Creation when you take in, richly and deeply, all the blessings of your life, knead them like bread dough within you, so they nourish your very being.  Such deep receiving sends out, like rainbows, loving 
blessings to Creation.  Your gratitude nourishes the energies of Life. Gratitude is life force.  To feel appreciation of your blessings is to bless.  And the blessing is a real thing, with living energy.   Our Friends 

Greetings Everyone!

Gifts Gained through Earth Communion

Below is a letter from my friend Leslie Lightfall.  If you have read previous posts I’ve shared from Leslie, you know she is deeply committed to communion with Earth/Gaia and brings forth some of the most beautiful songs of the Earth.  I share this letter, because it illumines the gifts gained through committment to communion. 

However you feel called to communion, follow your path.  It will unfold for you over time with deep blessings.  What may seem miraculous to others, may be more truly an expression of profound attention, deep listening, wholehearted surrender, and open hearted receiving, as well as committed work and intention.  Leslie’s experience is inspiring.  Blessings, Stephanie

Earth, Water & Fire Glory

Hello, all you beautiful people!

I feel extremely blessed at this moment sitting here in Dunedin as I have been watching the devastation in Christchurch on TV.  I am about 5 hours south of Christchurch and had been planning on leaving for that city in two days to meet Leanne at the airport. I woke up in the middle of the night feeling the brief roll of an earthquake, and the strong impression of the Christchurch airport being closed and of me canceling my trip up north.
However, when I talked to the other people here where I’m living, neither of them had felt anything.  I went on to the NZ earthquake tracking website and it didn’t show any earthquake activity during the middle of the night.  I still felt very strongly that I was being guided not to go to Christchurch and though I knew it would make it extremely difficult for Leanne to get around when she arrived, I sent her an email telling her about my personal internal earthquake and that I felt I had to follow my guidance and wouldn’t be meeting her in Christchurch after all.
I sent this off about 3 or 4 hours before the 6.3 earthquake hit, doing so much damage, closing the airport.  When I heard about the quake it validated my following my intuition, even when the outer events didn’t support what I was being made aware of.
I deeply appreciate those of you who have communicated your concern for my welfare and want you all to know that I’m just fine and dandy.  I have texted my friends in Christchurch and as of the first earthquake they are still OK.  The news broadcasts have shared many stories on the TV.  One precious one was about an elderly woman who was totally disoriented walking up to a policeman and getting a hug (people were downtown and their cars were crushed under piles of rubble, cells phones not working, phones lines down and they had no way to get home or find out if their loved ones were OK and were wandering around in a daze, not know what to do).  
I know from the core of me that sending loving energy to the Earth (and to the little pieces of Earth walking around in human form), is terribly important for all of us to being doing right now and for the foreseeable future. Particularly in groups.  I invite you once again to sing to the Earth!  Talk to the Earth!  Bless her with your prayers and love!  And LISTEN when she/your inner guidance speaks to you about where to go and what to do!  Hold a picture of the Earth in all her magnificence and immense beauty and perfection deeply in your mind and heart.  
Thank you, each one of you, for being part of my world!
Much love, aloha and warm chi to all,
Leslie

Humans: Gaia En-earthed Part Two

 
 

Gaia's majesty in rock and sky...

 

(This is the second installment of a piece regarding humans’ place in, with, on this Earth, as creatures and creations of Gaia.  I will post a short section each day or two for the next couple of weeks.  To read the piece from the beginning, click https://innerteacher.wordpress.com/humans-gaia-en-earthed-2/

This creation, this earth, these bodies…this is not meant to be a limitation.  It is a gift, an experiment, an expression of Creation. 

The Creator and the Creation are One. 

Whatever name you give to the ultimate impulse, which is the very heartbeat and breath of the One, the impulse is movement…there is nothing but movement.  And in this movement, there is always extension of the Being of the One, and in this there is creativity. 

The One is not static, not finished, not done.  Always complete but never completed, the One is a constantly breathing tide of movement into expression, always exploring the limitless possibilities of experience.  This world, this physical universe…and all that is of it, and in it, including all that is non-physical (which is the greater portion) is part of this exploration of the One. 

The One, the Creator, is the ultimate artist.

Healing Work in Eden

This is a note from a friend and client who has worked with Our Friends/Inner Teacher for a few years.  She is very committed to water protection.  It is her work and passion.  She is now on a journey to the Middle East continuing to create a network of concerned scientists and citizens to recover the Mesopetamian watershed.  I thought you might be interested in her work. 

Whatever the news may tell us, there are many more who love this Earth than those who would use and abuse her.  I am incredibly inspired by all those who do their own piece of the work of healing this planet .  Gaia creates our bodies and harbors our souls for a time.  She cradles us.  We must learn to cradle her in return.  Blessings, Stephanie

HI Stephanie,  Things are going very well on this trip.  My blog is www.iraqmarshrestoration.blogspot.com  and my web site is www.hima-mesopotamia.org.  Things went super with the Iraqi scientists, and I see myself with help from others building a network of grassroots efforts on water and peace in the Middle East.
Thanks and Take Care,
Michelle
