What I seek Finds Me
Dear Finder,
In the early years of my 12-year WalkAbout, Wisdom said something to me that became a useful mantra for times when I’m feeling lack, fear of not having enough.
“ What you seek finds you.”
I remember thinking that would make a great T-shirt. It became my go-to reassurance whenever I had that grasping feeling… the fear that what I wanted wouldn’t or couldn’t happen.
That’s the same fear that makes us think we have to work really hard for everything or do the work all by ourselves, right? It’s the same fear that causes weird little niggles of uncertainty and even jealousy when faced with another’s good fortune – when we secretly doubt that our own good fortune will find us.
It’s also the feeling that we aren’t good enough, that we have too many faults and unresolved issues to reap the blessing and rewards that are ours, including what we call enlightenment.
When these feelings and doubts creep in, I’ve found it so useful to say aloud:
“ What is mine finds me.”
When I say that affirmatively, something in me – something that’s always waiting for own my calm certainty – settles right down, replaced by my trust in my life.
Not long after Wisdom gave me that little nugget, I was in an office supply store in New York City. Near the check-out counter was a display of business books and one caught my eye that was popular at that time. It’s called, Who Stole the Cheese?
The title connected creatively in my mind to the saying, What is mine, finds me. It gave me an idea that I went home and drew on my iPad. It tickled me and I shared it with you in an article that I think was called Mouse and Cheese.
Some of you long-time readers of my Musings may remember when I used to share new Mouse and Cheese drawings from time to time. Now you know how that got started. The simple cartoon drawing I’ve used today for this article is that first drawing.
Funnily enough, though, I just realized I haven’t shared the phrase I received from Wisdom that preceded it. What is yours finds you. It’s such a great phrase, very useful. I thought you might enjoy it today, and the story.
It applies to everything, not only our wishes and desires of course. But to all that we seek on the spiritual path as well. Including our own Self-Realization. All that we long for is already begin sent to us as blessings of Fullness, continuously ever moment of every day of our lives. Open to this fully and you will see: What Is Yours Finds You.
You might like to spend a little time before you rise from bed just feeling that Fullness pouring into your life. Then, say aloud,” What is mine finds me.” Connect briefly like this each morning and watch how that transforms your day over time.
Much love,
~ X💜Mayet
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)

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!
