Being Caretakers of New Earth

by Julianne Kulosa

As we approached the Lunar Eclipse last week, I knew that the boulders on the mountain a group of us planned to be on that day had something to share with me. 
 
Walking up to a peak, I was feeling calm, enthusiastic and playful.
 
Sitting on one of the boulders, surrounded in redwood trees, I placed my hands on the boulder and closed my eyes.  I was surprised to feel a very intense vibration coming from the boulder, that buzzing vibrating feel.  I expected to feel a grounded, heavy, solid, strong and stable energy – you know, like a rock!
 
The boulder shared with me about the vulnerability of the earth.
 
“The vulnerability?” I thought.  Sure, I’ve understood that we are all connected, that the earth herself is going through what we are, and how we affect the earth not just physically but also energetically.  However, I had it that Gaia, a powerful amazing being, could take care of herself.  She’s already in fifth dimensional consciousness.  If we’d just live more sustainably, she’ll take care of her own healing.
 
After the boulder spoke, I was drawn to bring in light, to breathe into my heart and call forth pure divine light and send it and my love into this boulder and into the core of Gaia.
 
Almost immediately, the energy of the boulder shifted.  No more buzzy vibration, but instead, it became calm, peaceful, solid and grounded.
 
This powerful experience reminds me that we very much have a responsibility as caretakers of our beloved Gaia. 
 
Gaia is “at effect” of the consciousness of humanity.  She is in the ever present now moment, and does not operate the same as we do in our consciousness.  She lives in the natural truth of reality, while we use our free will to choose where our attention is, how we interpret reality and what reality we choose to live in moment by moment. 
 
In these extremely intense and transformational times, it’s easy to be pulled into the density of separation, scarcity, judgment and fear.  When we ourselves are feeling the effect of that, be it anxiety, anger or other dense emotions (and taking them on as “truth” instead of just letting them flow through), we are giving this energy to the earth. 
 
Want to have a pulse on humanity and the collective consciousness on the planet?  You need only look to what is happening in nature.  She’s doing her best to “let off steam”, such as through earthquakes, fires and volcanic activity.  She’s extremely strong, and also highly sensitive.
 
Being a caretaker of the earth means to tread lightly, in all ways.  One way we can powerfully support our home is to literally bring in more light.  This is the light of unconditional love, of Source, of deep compassion, care and peace. 
 
Our bodies, too, are earth, so we may be drawn to consume lightly, be it in use of resources or in the way we eat.
 
Truly, love and light are our most powerful resources in co-creating New Earth.  She needs us as much as we need her.  With a willingness to merge and unify with her, to take personal responsibility for our world and reality, we become the stewards of our beloved home.
