Messages from Gaia

A small fruit raised on a joyful plant filled with vitality holds more God-nourishment than a large fruit raised on a plant that has experienced pain and fear-negative energies which enter the food.

~from The Findhorn Garden Story

Our culture in the United States is starting to recognize anew the importance of our sources of food. But we have a long way to go in fully understanding how vital our relationship with the trees and plants that provide our nourishment truly is. We tend to look at food as a source of nutrients for our physical body and calories to fuel our activities. Seldom do many of us think about other aspects of our food.

Our lives are possible only because of plants. We may eat animals but they were fed by plants. Plants turn the sun’s energy into food-how miraculous is that!!! Let’s not take our food for granted but be reverent toward it. In doing so, all are blessed.

Happy full moon, Mary

My dear and beloved children,

Indeed, my precious ones, the food that feeds your bodies also nourishes your souls. Your ancestors knew this and honored the plants and animals that fed them. But today many people rush about, consuming food mindlessly and with little thought for the gift.

All are diminished by this disconnection. Certainly, the plants and animals and all of nature are negatively affected by this. But, my darlings, so are you. Humans were created for relationship and connection! When that need is not met fully, your quality of life is lessened.

But there’s good news! This separation can be healed at any time! Each time a person sends love and gratitude to the plants and animals that give them their food, there is great rejoicing in the Unseen realms and people are blessed, as well.

Now is the time to slow down, to carve out times for quiet contemplation and peaceful pondering. This is a Turning Time when new opportunities beckon, new ways of living are available and portals to other dimensions are opening for those who can see and accept the New.

Nature is your teacher, your friend. The Goddess is rising in loveliness and great beauty. Open your hands, dear ones. Open your hearts and love will flow in, filling you with contentment, calmness and reassurance that all is well.

When you look at the physical world and see chaos, turmoil and causes for alarm, remember to look with your heart. Your heart knows. Your heart is connected to the Divine at all times and everything you need is there, waiting to be accessed and accepted. There is no lack in the world of the Divine. There is abundance! Reach out your hands to receive the gifts that are given freely and with great love.

All is unfolding in perfect timing. Come close to my heart, your Earth Mother’s heart, and rest against me. Here is love, gentleness, wisdom and peace.

I love you, dear ones. I am Gaia, your Earth Mother, your friend
