Dear Energy Worker,

Like many of you, I generally offer energy work and prayers into various world events and do this in a variety of ways. During, and following, the heart-breaking destruction of the recent fires in Hawaii I’ve been combining art meditation w sound/chant to work with the earth’s element of fire relative to its ability to renew life.

Using my watercolor and gouache paints and some blank cards, I chanted and painted while creating a series of altar cards. Doing this gave a deep and satisfying focus to the prayer chant I created to use in this way.

This is the chant I used:

May the element of fire be supported
    in balance on this planet.
May it’s ability to renew life be magnified.
Peace be upon the people
    and all life challenged by fire,
May the blessings of heaven
    pour forth upon them
And abundant renewal of life follow.
Amama Ua Noa!
Amama Ua Noa!
Amama Ua Noa!
(Meaning: This prayer is now
    released into the world)

I recorded the chant, repeated several times, and then chanted along while painting. Over my days of painting and chanting, I felt such connection with these beautiful islands and their people – both now and through time. I had many images of the blessings of life there over a long history of habitation, clearly seeing as well the blessing that life there has been to us and our planet, ongoing.

Pele, their goddess of fire, was often in attendance with me in her role as creator of land through fire. Also often in attendance was Pele’s sister, Poli’Ahu the snow goddess, with her cooling gentle caresses, her name meaning to caress.

Her home is Mauna Kea, Mountain of White, the highest point in the Hawaiian islands, (on the the Big Island)… where snow is often seen. Mau means always steady, constant. Na means calmed, quieted, pacified, assuaged, soothed and settled.

These two great elemental sisters worked together to bring balance, comfort and renewal for the times ahead. It felt such an honor to work with them and feel their loving responsiveness and reverence for all life.

A little bit of a miracle occurred as I worked on my fourth card and fourth day. My peace plant bloomed! It’s apparently fairly rare for them to do so at home because they need a special plant hormone that can only be purchased by and for licensed nurseries, it’s not available for home use. But, none-the-less, a beautiful single blossom opened and is blooming still!

I know y’all work in loving energetic service and in your own interesting ways too, offering energetic prayers and blessings and light to our wondrous planetary home, and all life upon her. Which is why I thought you’d enjoy hearing one of the ways I worked recently to do this.

Joining you in service to all,

Mayet Leilani
PS – the photo today is the first card I made on my first day of chanting and painting. Each card was different.
