Connecting to the Heart of the Earth Mother
When I was very young, around 8 or 9 years old, I prayed to God to please not let me leave here until I made a difference, until I could help others in any way that I could, to help heal hearts. Now here I am, over 30 years later and that is still my prayer...
This world is in the midst of something amazing, something wonderful and beautiful. Slowly but surely we are each awakening, something deep within us is calling, have you heard it...can you feel it? We are awakening to the Age of Peace, a time when we return to the Open Heart, to the Divine love within us all. I am so excited to be here at this crucial time for humanity, to stand up and play my part which is being of service to the Divine Source, to myself and to the World. Yet with this awakening comes many questions, people the world over are feeling things deeply...the tragedies that are affecting our planet are in turn affecting our own conciousness, and our hearts break for the Earth Mother. Over the past few months I have had a large amount of emails, as well as questions from friends, asking me what I felt was going on, they felt lost, as if they were suspended in time and felt unsure about what the future held not just for themselves but for their children. They also wanted to know why they felt so fearful and wanted to know how they could protect themselves, this was especially common with the Lightworkers and Energy Healers like myself, who feel the emotions of others so deeply. Some of you have sensed, as I have, a tremendous amount of fear hovering over us, I dont need to point out all of the reasons, the depletion of of our earth's natural resources, the economy, the job and housing market, world affairs, wars, and not to mention each and every one of us has our everyday situations we deal with. And yet through all of this, I see Hope, I see Love, I see that light at the end of the tunnel every time I just take the time to look. There are many Angels, Ascended Masters and Spiritual Light Beings, all working to help raise the vibration of this planet, attempting to get our attention by reaching out to us to help us grow. The everyday miracles that are occuring are all around us are reminders for us to keep the faith and to trust, whatever religious background or Spirituality you follow, TRUST, trust in love for that is the only thing that is real. I want to share with all of you some of my techniques and tools that have helped me to be a part of the healing at this crucial time. I will also share some of my protective techniques that may help to alleviate some of the fear within your heart and mind. These are of course suggestions and you may choose to adopt all, some or none of them, if something here resenates with your Spirit, wonderful, if not, that is perfectly fine too! Feel free to change things based upon your own belief system. I offer this out of only love for you and your journey. May it bring peace to your mind and love to your heart. We are in this together and in that sense-none of us are ever truly alone.
Living Each Day Protected by the Light:
There are many ways to protect yourself from harsh or fear based energies but I will explain how a typical day starts and ends for me with a visualization technique that has helped me tremendously. My mornings start with my morning meditation. It is the time I spend in silence with the Divine Source, the Angels, my Guides. I pray and talk with them just as I would a dear and trusted friend. I tell them my hopes, dreams, prayers for humanity, prayers for our future, my fears and my joys. I pray with Gratitude and love within my heart. I then tend to my Nature Altar, light the healing candles and incense say a prayer to her and send her love in exchange for only love in return. Lastly, I empower and charge my Reiki Healing Grid for which the prayers for healing that so many of you have given to me, are sent healing Reiki energies and my love for the day. To some of you this may seem like it takes a long time but it truly does not. It takes anywhere between 25 to 45 minutes of my morning.
In the time of prayer I ask Spirit and the Angels to place my body, mind and Spirit within a white bubble of Divine Love. This is where visualization is the key-I imagine myself stepping into that bubble and literally zipping it up from my feet to the top of my head. Then I call upon Archangel Raphael to provide me his healing bubble of the emerald green ray. I then call upon Archangel Michael to provide me with his electric blue light bubble for complete protection, and lastly I create my own bubble in a soft pink light that allows me to be receptive to others without taking on their energy, especially since my days are filled with hands on healing sessions for different people. All of this protects me from energies that are not mine to begin with but still allows me to be safe while being of service to others.
My day ends in an evening meditation where I balance and clear my Chakras with a white light technique I created and say my prayers and discussions of the day. This is living each day protected by the Light, it is living in Gratitude and connecting with your Higher Self. Below I will provide you with some ideas for connecting to our Earth Mother to help her heal, which in turn helps heal us. What we do to our planet, we do to ourselves...
Connecting to the Pulse of Mother Earth:
Create an Earth Healing or World Peace Crystal Grid
Perform a healing ritual for Gaia
Spend time everyday in Nature, even it is for 15 or 20 minutes. Sit under a tree, go to the Ocean, take a walk, just connect with her, her animals and her bounty.
Create a Nature or Earth Altar in your home, backyard or sacred space.
Plant a garden or a Fairy Garden to honor the Nature Spirits & Devas.
Create a Medicine Wheel
Perform drumming ceremonies to send your love to the Earth, connect with the heartbeat of Gaia.
In love and light,
Rita Lofaro
