Prayer for Gaia – Working with the Element of Earth
Dear Fellow Earthlings,
You may recall my article in August in which I shared the art/chant/energy work I did with the element of fire during the fires on Maui. I shared an altar card I painted and the chant/prayer that I made during that work. And I told you that my Peace plant had suddenly started to bloom. Amazingly, 8 weeks later it is still blooming.
There have been earthquakes and other challenges since then and so I’ve worked again with art/chant/prayer on behalf of the Earth, our dear Gaia, and all life upon her, including our own.
The photo today is the standing card I made for my altar and below is the prayer I wrote and recorded to use as a chant, repeating it many times on behalf of Gaia’s movement, growth and transitions. I put it inside the altar card too.
I thought you might like to join me in this work, using the prayer, working with it in your own way,
With love,
~ 💙 Mayet Leilani
May the Elements of Earth
May the Elements of Earth be showered with blessings
by the praises we lift in gratitude,
our voices ringing with the wonder of being alive.
May our joy in life increase, lending stability to Gaia
in support of her labor, birthing new life
and new dimensions of living upon her.
May All the Elements of Earth’s Creation
respond to the mastery of our Souls
as we now give the Soul permission
to come forward within us
taking primary residence in awakened form
to walk in beauty and blessing on Earth,
an awakened humanity on Terra once more.
This is my prayer
Amama ua noa
Amama ua noa
Amama ua noa
(This prayer is now released into the world)

Dear Hopeful Ones,
I’ve shared at least one of these Heart of Love Messages before, but today seemed a good day for a lift and a reminder of why and where the hope is.
Feeling the love here,

3 Little Messages of Hope and Joy
We Wish You to Know
While you may feel discouraged and sometimes hopeless, we wish to point out that your sense of this is somewhat distorted by what fills your frame. We say this with care for we well understand what life can appear like through the sometimes distorting lens of the human mind.
Let us explain further so you may feel it in all levels of your being. You have known these difficulties must come, though you have not known precisely what they would be. Now they are here. You are right on target. You are right on schedule. You are right where you need to be. This is what we wish you to trust.
You have made it to here and have little sense of the victory you have achieved because the human eye and mind sometimes lack scope for proper perspective. Let us say that you have, and are still, accomplishing the goals you set out for yourself in coming here – though it sometimes feels you have not and are not. You have. You are. We offer our praises in the hope that you can take them to heart and know your bravery.
Many of your confusions about limitations and failures are being cleared from your way. Know that no one in your circle limits you. Nothing impedes your growth. Your growth has, in fact, been steady in spite of those seeming limitations for it is those very limitations that have gained you more than you realize.
For you now, it is much like the oyster that feels the discomfort and irritation of the grain of sand and does not yet see the beautiful luster building up around what grows within. Many grains of understanding have been laid and can begin to be felt by you. Take heart in this and move forward with renewed determination and self-encouragement. And feel the love that is in you, ready to flow inward and outward on the tide of your being.

All is Well
There is a place within you like the eye of a storm. All around life may whirl madly, but in the inner sanctum of your heart, your Soul whispers the truth, “All is well, all is well, all is well. When you listen to your own heart’s Soul Wisdom more than the stories of the world, this is what you know: all is well.

You Are Known to Us
Gentle Souls, Your hearts are known on the inner dimensions for the depth of your loving, your minds are known for your intent to do good, your lives are known for your determination to grow and elevate and in that elevation to offer ever-ascending energies of the divine light and love you are. Your praises are sung for your bravery and goodness and service in these times. And your song is heard throughout the dimensions with excitement and awe as you transform yourselves and in doing so transform your world of time. Let this message break through any concerns like sunlight bursting through a stormy sky. Fear not, you are succeeding beyond your wildest dreams, beyond your ability to know! Relax into this and dance with joy!

Are You This or That?
Dear Seamless One ,
I’m in the mood for short and sweet today:
I saw this recently, written by a wise Persian poet of long ago. It delighted me. It made me laugh, too.
Take a pitcher full of water and set it down in the water – now it has water inside and water outside. We mustn’t give it a name, lest silly people start talking again about the body and the soul. ~ Kabir
Too much name, name, naming lately and it has me a bit fatigued. Democrat, Republican, New Age or Christian, Body or Soul, Wrong or Right, This or That. So many things can be served better by less attention to naming. Naming can be important, but it can also create separation, setting things apart from each other, even at odds with each other. Especially things meant to be experienced together like people rather than factions.
Like body and soul. Are we really a spiritual being having a physical experience, or a physical being having a spiritual life? As Rumi suggests, why separate this, body and soul?
Body and soul – both equal in importance to why we are here. Both seamlessly who we are. To live on Earth, you really can’t have one without the other. Think about it: It’s not a choice.
The body needs what it needs: good nutrition, proper regard. It is not fed in the same way the soul is, though it is supported by the soul being tended to. The soul needs what it needs: pause, depth, self-awareness, and so forth. The soul isn’t satisfied with an apple a day, it has its own needs. But it is greatly supported by a healthy, well-tended body.
It’s not either/or. We are both of these, as one. Perhaps it is time to deeply understand the both-ness of things, letting them join like the twins they are for our sojourn here. Not ignoring our soul needs, nor over-emphasizing them. Not focusing more on the emotional than the physical, or giving more attention to the soul than the physical, or on any one of the seeming parts and pieces.
Not building identity around names and opposites like This or That. Instead, feeling human, not Democrat or recognizing one’s opinion without naming it the One right one.
All this separation into names and right and wrongs – and the division and acrimony it causes. It’s giving me a headache lately. I thought I’d just say so, in case you are feeling the same.
