So I went back to working with my dear wise woman/mentor/therapist this week, and she went over to walk the Land on the Reservation yesterday...She studies with a Healer/Visionary who is married to the Shaman of the Washoe clan, here's some of the report she gave me...
~~~
The Earth feels very abandoned, she feels like we are ignoring her cries for change, she is saddened at our continued damage. As a race and as Individuals, we need to make the effort to connect with her regularly. even blessing the ground we walk upon through our feet for being stable and holding us up and holding the trees and mountains in place for so long...
It is very possible that we will see a lot of death in the coming year or two, shaman says one in 8 will be left.
Fear and depression are emanating through the planet, and yet we can change the vibration by changing our grounding to instead be a nurturing thing, symbiotic between us and the Earth...not taking on her fears but replacing them with love and gratitude. The only way for us to walk through the changes and violent shifts is to start developing our DIRECT relationship with earth - NOW. Not just in feeling and meditation or prayer, but actively cultivating and clearing the earth we are on. Find an empty lot to clean up, start your garden, no excuses.
We are stewards, quit cowering and take charge of our Active role in this, and create community around it. Let Earth know she is LOVED.~~~~
Some of her words were directed at me as an individual as well, the pain i feel in my body is the empathy i feel for the earth and living things, i need to pull my cords from that & focus on TRUST that I and All god's creation are taken care of.
Hard to let go of that paradigm of lack and struggle, especially when one has had lifetimes to reinforce it... but it IS time to really own our gifts, and many of our gifts have to do with loving the earth, don't they?
