Childhood Memories of Shadow and Light
Dear One,
I had a client today who was struggling through a period of the difficult revisiting of childhood “stuff.” Many are experiencing this right now because the astrology is helping bring layers previously out of reach or stored in the body – in a muscle here or organ there. Such programs and memories are able to rise now to share their wisdom, to release, to flow on down the river with all else that is past.
I was reminded that in the first months of Covid, 2020, I had a period of that myself and I wrote something in my journal about it that I thought you might like to share with me.
Life is long enough that we’ve all been there more than once: those times when we find ourselves moving in the flickers between shadow and light.
Childhood Memories
Shadow and Light
Childhood memories, shadow and light, shadow and light. Laughter and tears. Wonder and fears. The shifting always between the up and and down, the in and the out, good and bad times, happy and free, unspeakably sad and carefully restrained.
Home was safe haven at day, uncertain terrain at night. My mother at the sink, upset, neck reddened by unnamed tension, my father stumbling about, ranting. But the next day we loft high in his Cessna 180, or the PA 14, flying above it all. Joyously I observe all of nature from above, including our own, as we fly to a favorite remote fishing spot and spend the day in solace of nature’s silence, letting the dark night slip to the background, as it does, with the sun.
We laughed and fried our fish over open flames, eating mom’s delicious homemade bread slathered with butter from the cow and then we chased and spun about, darting and dashing, giving one another chase as siblings do. Shadow and light, dark and day.
I learned early that life was found in the opposites, that the shifting poles required balance, that sorrow was a sometimes companion but not a constant, and that secrets needed silence to exist but also to heal.
I remember so much joy from my childhood, rare and wonderful experiences. I would not bargain away those woes handed off to me to become my teachers and my fears for I now know the light in them as well.
May all that is rising join all that is past in the great river of time beyond time, purified by the powerful Light of the indwelling god. That is my prayer.
Hugging you close if olde “stuff” is rising for you right now. Know you are in my prayers. And if you aren’t in it, please join me in this moment in prayers for those who are clearing and releasing with such intensity in these times.
Love,
~ 💜 Mayet Leilani

Calling Upon the Angels of Goodness
Dear One,
This morning, preparing something to send you that might lift your day, I deepened into myself and found there the uneasiness of the world, the great waves of uncertainty that move through our times, our country, and through me in it. I asked for a dose of antidote. And this little poemette popped in like an exercise, or reminder, a vision, and adjustment.
Goodness
Such goodness. Such Goodness!
Such goodness unbounded
By goodness surrounded
I’m really astounded!
There’s goodness above and
Goodness below
In every direction, wherever I go
Wherever I turn it’s goodness I see
Such goodness unfolding
That’s what I’m beholding
No more withholding!
Great waves bringing goodness
The horizon so near
Such blessings of goodness are here!
I was moved into a contemplation of the goodness that’s everywhere, seeking it out, moving into it, feeling it, experiencing it until I could grasp its certainty. It took a little time before my body – which feels the tension and sometimes takes it in – responded to the reality of the goodness and began to relax it’s call for flight/stress hormones that send the mind into paroxysms of concern.
Ahh… there’s the first bit of space, an easing in the chest and throat, a deeper breath. So much goodness is always here. And then in the silence and goodness of this moment came a double haiku:
In the Silence, Light,
rising up on wings of breath,
angels following
Bringers of Love, Joy.
They fluff my aura, playful,
Singing All Is Well!
And I joined the Angels of Goodness, lying back on my pink fluffy cloud with them and listening to their song, taking a little vacation from earth strain, refreshing myself more fully, drinking in the essence of this remembrance of who I am and who my friends are 😇.
And then I sank into the thing I long to do most, I sank into the depths, into prayer and chant for others, for the world, whose needs are my own. I surrendered into offering antidote to a world often gasping for breath – offering this radiant beam, this balm, of goodness and silence, sending it forth with all the force and blessing of air, out out upon the winds that reach all corners of the land: sending out the angels’ message, All is Well, all is well, all is well.
I am antidote, I am. An angel of goodness. That is what is at the true core of being human. That is the lighted core of what we are. May we all feel the goodness and mercy that is the deeper truth of our times, and know that all is well, all is yet well and will be.
This is the prayer I send today, along with so much love,

A Heart of Love Message Money and Changes in Tenuous Times
Article Highlights:
- Is financial disaster inevitable?
- What should we do
- Wisdom re: our Financial climate
Dear Determinator,
This week 4 different people spoke to me about their concerns regarding the current financial climate. Each shared concerns about whether a bad recession is coming, whether we are going to have a financial crash. Each person expressed worry and fear and each tagged a similar line onto their worried ramblings, apparently to make themselves feel better. They said, “Well I guess we know the systems have to fail completely for things to get better…”
Do we known that? How did this unwise but pervasive new age idea gain such ground with its negative twist? Let me just say that we don’t know that at all, we can’t possibly. That’s not a given. We made that up, carving it out of fear as a weird sort of panacea.
Things DO need to change, that is true. Things are changing. That is also true. And some of the change seems scary and some of the change is hard. That’s the nature of change for the human usually.
But does it need to be a disaster for things to get better? Not at all. I asked Wisdom about it and this message came our consideration.

A Message From the Heart of Love
Finances and Change in Seemingly Tenuous Times
We greatly appreciate the opportunity to address you and others regarding this important topic. How does change come for the human world, what type of change serves humanity best? While it is true that humanity rally’s together in disaster, unifying and often bringing forth its better side, that is not to say it is the only way for positive change to occur. Not at all. In fact, we wish to tell you that it is not at all the best way for change to come, even great change.
Historically, here are the best circumstances for change: a climate where certain pressures combine to stir the awareness of people so they feel their own desire for change. That then stimulates good ideas about how things could be bettered and brings balanced understanding of what is needed. Such a climate generates actions on the part of many different individuals and groups to press forward to better things, each in their own ways. This is the best climate for change.
The same applies to how your systems best change. Not by crashing but by proper response to inspired pressures. And this is what we, your wise guides and assistants, always work for. Please join us in this way of thinking and understanding.
Sometimes, it seems drastic measures are part of this but when so, they are then guided and properly supported for minimum chaos. Only those who wish to control humanity for their own means work otherwise. They are the purveyors of the doom-day ways of thinking and perceiving, they spread the rumors of disaster and crash. We ask that you not stand with them in what you create with your words and thoughts among yourselves and in your own minds.
So know that those of us who love and work with you on the inner work always to facilitate balanced change. And we ask you to do the same. We request that you not participate in creating the reality among you that severity and even calamity is the necessary path to a better world. This defies any rational thought, does it not?
Do not spout this so mindlessly. Rather, we ask of you that in your dialogues, please stand with us on the side of continued great changes that come in increments of highest possibility for successful result. Will you do your part in this? (more…)
