Stop your ‘stinking thinking’. You are LOVED!
~Gaia
Over and over Jim Self of Mastering Alchemy says that we can’t take our baggage with us into what lies ahead. That’s good news! Why would we want to hang onto old beliefs and patterns if they keep us stuck in low vibrating thoughts and feelings?
But becoming aware of those beliefs and patterns and clearing them out is not necessarily fun. I certainly have my challenges as ‘old crud’ in my mind and heart rises to the surface to be cleansed and cleared.
This past week I became more aware of the guilt I am carrying for what humans have done to the earth-the damage and destruction. Recently, I found myself crying and saying, ‘I’m sorry, I’m sorry’. There it was and I needed to deal with it. I could hang onto these thoughts and feelings and continue to feel bad or I could ask for forgiveness, individually and collectively, and then move on, knowing that our Divine Source loves me, and all of us, and doesn’t want us to replay past choices and feel bad. This helps me make new choices that heal and restore the earth.
I first heard of ‘stinking thinking’ when I was in co-dependence recovery. It’s thoughts or beliefs that keep us stuck in negative thinking, self-blame, feeling miserable. Stinking thinking may seem justified, at times, but it doesn’t help anyone or anything. It’s simply a sign that we need to change. We are much more empowered to change when we are giving ourselves self-love and receiving love from our family, friends and partners in the Divine realm.
Let’s affirm ourselves for what we are doing well, our efforts to create a better world and the love in our hearts. Let’s clear the stinking thinking out of our lives and let the fragrance of a new earth put a smile on our faces! We will be motivated and empowered to grow and change.
Blessings, Mary

Dear ones, my Beloveds,
Surely, it is important to acknowledge and recognize when changes need to be made. It is good to face choices that no longer serve the highest good of all. But no one in the Divine realm is asking you to condemn and criticize yourself for something that is now in the past. Simply use what you have learned to light the way to a new path.
Perhaps the most important message that I would share is to ask for help! Humans can do much to clean and clear the damage of past choices. But things go so much easier and so quickly when you ask for help! Pan, the Nature Spirits, the devas, your partners in the nature realm are strong and powerful. Please! Seek to be Co-creators rather than trying to do things on your own. Join the oneness that will restore the earth to health!
Love the water and it will respond to your energy of love. Love the air and it will delight in your care. Love the plants and animals and they will thrive. Honor the soil that gives life. Send thanks to the sun that is the source of your food and shelter. You will find a thousand gifts to be grateful for. There will be no time to focus on regret or sadness or perceived wrongs.
Come to the Divine Mother and the Divine Father as little children, with open hearts and open hands. You will receive blessings beyond your wildest imagination. Simply ask and see what will flow to you.
I love you, my darlings. I am Gaia, your Earth Mother, your
