I don’t understand how I go for walks and there are so few people out in Nature, there are often a few people running or walking dogs but VERY few do I Ever see Simply walking. I basically very rarely see Anyone else connecting with Nature or meditating With Her and I Don’t tend to witness any GIVING back to the Mother (It doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen, I just haven’t seen it where I am very much.)
I don’t Just go to Her when I am sad or needing something, I go to Her Every day. I live in a Capital City but I Don’t need to climb sacred mountains I just need to notice where I put my attention and I feel Her completely and immediately. I feel Her inside buildings, walking on concrete streets, inside vehicles… there are no barriers to the connection I experience.
I Do have a bit of a challenge as I’m walking as ALL the trees and plants Squeal with Joy and Excitement and know I see them. It’s Not Just the big ancient magnificent trees I see, it’s the little saplings and the twisty, gnarly looking beauties. I often find myself tripping off my face with the Intense Beauty of Every single leaf or twig or flower or any of it.
My path is Pagamento, Sacred Payment. It Always has been but I only discovered the word a couple of years ago from my dear Brother and Elder, who has taught me So very much. How do I pay to Her? In Very many ways. My path is to learn and master this and to teach others. There are ceremonies and rituals and all sorts of beautiful ways but I am interested in Everyday Simplicity, so that there is no division between ceremony and life - it is the same - this is what I am learning more and more. There are times I can not light a fire and so I light a candle. This small flame of intention is enough. I had beliefs All my life about my voice and singing but I Sound to Her every day, just allowing Whatever frequencies want to be shared, it shocks me often what comes out of me as it doesn’t in Any way feel like me or from me, just through me - these 'songs' are not for others, they are Just for Her. I do all sorts of things to pay to the Mother, whatever is asked. I Love Her completely, I am here for Her, She is my Beloved.
I recently sat with Kazumi Ohishi, an Okinawan Shaman. I was there to LISTEN to Her. As one of my Favourite Rumi lines says:
"I should sell my tongue and buy a thousand ears, when that One steps near and begins to speak:
I Heard what She was saying about the Earth and the Great damage that has been done. I have heard these messages from Other Shaman and Elders I have been privileged to sit with. The Kazumi Shaman do not tend to share in public, and it is Striking that Her presence now is Vital in bringing the messages to the wider collective. Similarly when I met Mamo Manuela from the Kogi Tribe, these Great Elders, do not normally come to share with the ‘Little brothers’ so it is So important for me to LISTEN to every single thing that they have to say with Humble respect and wide open ears and heart.
I have Always felt the plight and the devastation of the world. When I was little, I didn’t understand how I could begin to bring a baby into the world when I was a grown woman because look at this place, it was a Mess! I forgot all about thinking that but I manifested that thought perfectly where no man ever wanted to have a baby with me.
I Studied Biology and Life Sciences because I Thought Knowledge and Science would bring solutions to the challenges of the Earth. There are Many intelligent people out there and Still we have not found solutions to stopping So many species becoming extinct and the temperatures rising and so on.
What I am hearing over and over from the Earth and from Elders is the importance of the the Heart, the POWER of LOVE. THIS is what we are invited to Become. To Remember Who it is that we are, to move from the head down into the body and to live in the HEART.
EVERYDAY I experience Love. I remember I AM Love. Nothing need change externally, my bank balance is the same, my weight is the same, my relationship status is the same but the journey is Down and IN, the exploration of the Heart. My experience of love is Enormous and it is Not the fairy tale I dreamed of as a youngster, it is Much much much more vast.
THIS is what the Earth needs and is calling for. Once More people drop into their hearts and live from There, there will be MAGIC indeed.
Aho.
