I'm taking Mom's advice this month and having a vacation with my family :) So enjoy this message from a few years ago (amazing how her words are so timeless) and go find a place to be quiet and do nothing!

July 1st, 2009 The Power of Doing Nothing


My dear beloved children, today I'd like to talk about the power of being still and giving yourself rest. In a world filled with such a fast pace the ability to relax is needed more then ever. The mental and physical dis-ease occurring in your world is from the lack of respect to the body and mind. Let us begin with allowing one's self to relax and find the healing within.

Relaxation starts by doing nothing. Often when we slow down to sit and breathe we are still processing mentally. We collapse after a long day into our sofas and think about the 10 things yet to do before the end of the day. The work week moves into the weekend when we try to do as much as we can for fun or obligation. Somewhere in that chaos we try to relax. Vacations are few and far as we try to ‘save-up' for the big vacation or exciting adventure. Our time off from work becomes -work. Relaxation comes when we give ourselves permission to do nothing and not feel guilt from our decision.

We feel guilty for doing nothing because of our need of self accomplishment. We have put more value on the quantity of work we do; be it through our jobs or personal activities around the home. We push ourselves forward to experience life all at once. The pushing can only last so long before one falls. Often we do fall into illness and anxiety. We must unplug from our self critic and call for a time out. It is relaxation that brings new ideas, strength, and health to our bodies. Only by allowing guilt to leave and rest to begin will you find peace.

Doing nothing means to quiet the mind and the body. When we truly relax there is a peace that comes in our hearts. In that heart centered stillness our minds will follow. Worries leave, projects stand still, and our bodies sigh with relief. In just a few hours our bodies can mend, heal, and repair. Our emotions are calm and centered. Our minds can then be set with clarity to the task at hand.

Find your own way of doing nothing. Each of us have a way of relaxing. Be it in nature watching the sunset, sitting with neighbors and sipping tea, taking a nap on a hot summer day, or reading a book in your favorite chair. Take time today to do nothing, because tomorrow will wait for you.

Namaste' Mother Mary





Raven's Notes:
The sun has arrived for us in the north and we are busy transforming our land to the spiritual center it desires to be. Mom's message this month is, as always, perfectly timed with all of our changing both physically and spiritually into the new energy of 2012. I've received a lot of visions from Spirit Guides on what they'd like me to create but the thought of all the land clearing and heavy lifting has limited what I could do. Then in meditation Mother Mary says to me "ask for help my dear you are not alone, your efforts serve your community as well as yourself". Being an independent only child I bulk at anything I can't do my self, but when it comes to what Mother wants I always find her wisdom easy and rewarding (after some whining of course!). So thank you to all those amazing people who came to my land and help build an organic garden, an inipi (sweat lodge), and cleared the chicken coop and yard for my chickens. In one month they created what would have taken me years to do. Asking for help really does work! Thanks Mom!

June 1st, 2009 Asking for Help from Others


My Dear Children, today I will ask you something that some of you find difficult to do. It is something we all forget we can do at anytime, and often need to do in order to achieve what we desire in life. In your independent, only you can do it, world it is the opposite of what we think we should do next. My question for you is...Do you ask for help from others? And do you receive their help when offered? We have prized the ‘doing it yourself' energy in so many aspects of our society we have created a black hole in the give and receive energy of the Divine.

Asking for help does not mean you have failed, that you lack in understanding, or are limiting yourself in any way. When we ask for help we are acknowledging ourselves for what we can do and opening for more insight through others. Asking for help creates a give and receive energy that can grow and nurture the same way a bee helps a flower. Flowers ask for help by advertising their pollen and flowers with bright colors. The bees then see these messages and come take some of the nectar and pollen from each flower. In this exchange the bee is feed and the flower is pollinated to create more seeds. The flower is no less then the bee, and the bee is not being ‘used' by the flower. Each being benefits, and this happened because the flower asked for help. This is the give and receive energy of your planet. All creatures live in unity, within a forest all animals live together and are not just ‘doing it for themselves', but instead co-exist with each other through give and receive.

Often we give, and give, and give but forget to receive. When we give from our hearts it flows, people around us grow, change and are uplifted by your generosity and spirit. When we encounter this energy it is natural for us to want to thank and give back to the thoughtfulness. When we desire to give back to those who have been generous we wait for a moment to help them. Sometimes we are unsure when we can give help. So when the door opens by asking for help often those who have been waiting to give back to you rush in with a flood of love and support. We must release all feelings of guilt (around not being able to finish something) and suspicion of what we may owe back. Give and receive comes naturally and is unconditional. When someone offers help say YES! When you find yourself suck, frustrated, and a lose for ideas ASK FOR HELP. We open the door for help and to give help by asking.

We all have things we can do easily and other talents that are more difficult for us to achieve. It is a blessing to have someone who is talented in fixing the computer when it does not work, and your own talent of cooking cookies is a wonderful way to give back. My challenge for you all this month is to ask for help. Choose something in your life and pray for help, then ask those who surround you and love you for help. See how fast life can change when we open our hearts for loving help. And of course offer help with ease and grace so that the flow of the Divine can open all your doors of love for today.

Raven's Notes:
Hooray! The warm sun has returned and all the flowers are growing. I love May, with it's bright green colors, baby deer munching on my buttercup plants, and the choir of birds singing their hearts out for love. I can't help getting outside at every possible moment to soak in that lovely sun. It's amazing how five minutes outside can change your mood, bring new ideas to tough projects, and a healthy breath of air. I do most of my deep meditations outside weeding. Mother and I chat away the afternoon as I pull out blackberries and dig new garden patches. What I release flows directly into Mama Earth and I feel so much better. So get outside! Walk, sit, stand and breath in Spring (or Fall for all you guys down under!).

May 1st, 2009 Gentle Transformations


My dear children, oh how your lives are changing right now! It is so amazing to watch as each of you releases the old and steps into your true heart's love. I know each of you has struggled to find your way, to accept the bigger truth of love, and let go of control. And this process will continue this year for us all. This process does not need to be painful or frightening. It is just as a caterpillar who goes into the cocoon and emerges as a transformed butterfly.

When this beautiful butterfly first comes out of it's shell it is fragile. It takes time to learn how to unfold it's wings. It breathes and focuses on the change not worried about what it once was. It does not miss the green leaves of the plant because it has created a new way to take in life. As the wings grow the butterfly slowly feels how this new body will function and fly. Then when it is fully expanded and present it leaps into the air and floats away on the wind. Our lives right now are no different as we emerge, focus, release, and come into our full power of self. Then and only then will we be free to leap into the next blissful stage of life.

Where are you in the stage of transformation? Each of us has started as an egg, hatched and grown quickly into caterpillars nourishing ourselves on all information and love around us. Some have had more leaves of knowledge and love then others, but the change is the same as we all become what we desire. When we decide to retreat into ourselves we cut the ties from the old patterns, people and events of our past. This cocoon phase is very special. This may be your most chaotic and painful relationships, jobs, or parts of life. But when we decide to retreat back into our self and our centers we are safe and can transform. Life may be confusing and dangerous on the outside, but when we can focus our insight and energy inward we see the peace and love growing to create change. After we have chosen to change and reclaimed ourselves from these events, old patterns, and people then we can be different. It is now that we emerge from our cocoons. Shaky, vulnerable and unsure what is next. We must be gentle in our transformations, and allow ourselves time to feel our new bodies, new beliefs, and new way of life. Just as the butterfly does not lament for the past we must focus on the now and then when we are ready leap into the wind of life.

No matter where you are in this beautiful change of life be gentle with yourself. Know we each develop at different rates and may have many parts of ourselves changing at different times. The butterfly within each of us is the higher self, it knows when and where we will change. All we need is to know the change is now and all we have to do is focus. Focus. Focus on love and know you will fly free my loves. Fly free.

Namaste' Mother Mary





Raven's Notes:
What a crazy time of year! Snow, sun, hail, frost, rain it seems even the weather cannot make up it's mind. As we change from Winter to Spring we are asked to let go of the old and embrace the new Life. We do the same as we let go of our old thoughts and old ways to usher in the new beings we're becoming. Often in this process we feel we've mastered a part of ourselves only to have it return and repeat what we thought changed. Why do we have these unexcepted visits from our past? Much like a surprise visit of snow in the middle of April we have these tests from Divine to help us see how our change has created a new positive outcome in our lives. We can grumble about the snow as we bemoan our repeat of a negative pattern but what we do right now will show us if we have truly changed or need more help to be complete. As Mother Mary says it's a choice between what you did in the past and what you choose to be now. So as we change with the compassion energy of now, be flexible with yourself if parts thought gone come back to the surface. Choose love and all will be clear.

April 1st, 2009 Truth can set you free


My dear children, as small children we are encouraged to always speak the truth. We are taught what is true and what is false. And we are often corrected when we speak what is not truth. Truth of course is dependent on your point of view, because if you believe with all of your being what is true then it becomes truth. Someone else's truth is not always what you believe. Truth is different for each person, and only you can discover what is true for you.

So how can we know what is true and what is false? The ultimate truth is outside of our own ego and minds and in the all including love of Divine. Love, Truth, and Wisdom are all part of Divine, God, Great Spirit. No matter how you call it, Divine is love and that love includes you! This simple truth is the universal truth we can always feel. We can feel this truth in our hearts where we are connected to source and Divine. This feeling within us we often call our ‘gut feeling' though it is our hearts and center and not our intestines that cause this sensation. Knowing this feeling of truth within you opens doors to your own knowing of self.

Why is knowing truth important? Knowing your own truth is knowing your own energy, your own purpose of life, and choosing what is the best direction for your soul. No matter what decision you are faced with, knowing your truth allows you to find the most loving choice. From jobs, relationships, money, to health we are faced with choices everyday that can be scarey and difficult. Our inner knowing can give us confidence and strength to continue on. When we know our truth we know when others are lying, know when what they suggest is not the best for us, or know there is always another option.

So my loves it is time to check in with yourself and feel your inner truth. Truth is not good or bad, it just is. So as you see your own truth and discover some parts that need changed do not punish yourself. Instead see that you are changing everyday. Learn to connect with that universal truth we all share - Divine's Love. Feel the truth of my love for you, and that your world is changing for a better more loving place right now. All my love to you!

Namaste' Mother Mary





Raven's Notes:
Yeah! It must be Spring. I'm just starting to see my first yellow crocus pop through the soil and the robins are beginning their songs of love. Spring can be tricky for us here in the Pacific Northwest, as Mother Nature can change her mind to rain, snow, or sun within an afternoon. You learn to run out and soak in the sun when you can, and clean out the funk inside the house when it rains. Spring cleaning is in the air not just for the birds and squirrels but Spirit is asking us to clean out old ideas, old patterns, and old junk in our trunks! Need to de-clutter your garage or spare room? Have you cleaned your alter or special place to Spirit? Making the time to clean and clear allows you to remove the old and make room for the new ideas and energy coming in the next few weeks. So spend a few minutes or a Sunday afternoon cleaning up so you and Spirit can play in the months to come!

March 1st, 2009 Awakening your Joyful Heart


My Dear Children, when we are searching for healing within our lives we look at our bodies and what we put into them, we look at our environment and how to de-stress from the pressures of the day, and we allow ourselves to connect with Spirit through our rituals and prayers. Healing has a different meaning to each person, depending on how we approach our relationship to ourselves. Healing, like many things, is not something outside of ourselves, but a state of contentment and balance within the body. So when you are in a place of out-of-balance the process of healing begins quickly.

How do we determine we are in need of healing? We often find ourselves with a lack of joy. Joy is that feeling of contentment and openness we have with our inner self and life around us. We may be changing and growing through difficult phases of our lives, but we can still remain in a joy state of being. Now my loves you must feel the difference between joy and being happy. Joy is from Divine, because it is Divine Love, and has no limitations, conditions, or expectations. Joy can be found in the worst situations because it lives with hope, trust, and faith. We can have joy visiting a loved one, cleaning our homes, and working at our desks. Joy is to be one with the moment. Happiness is something we love having. We often want it for others around us too. Happiness can sometimes be twisted if we forget to come from a heart centered place. When we use phrases like "I'll be happy if..., They'd make me happy if they would only...., If I finish this it will make me happy..." we are placing conditions on our joy. Happiness has become a way of reward or punishment and if you do not play the game you will for go your happiness.

Divine does not like conditions. Love and Life are a continuous flow of love and energy in your life. So conditions and ‘ifs' just re-direct this flow of energy into something unexpected in your life. Ever wonder why crazy things keep happening around you when your trying to make your happiness? When we release making life work out to make us happy our un-balance selves re-align to health and joy. Joy then awakens in our lives so we can allow love to flow, take time for ourselves, and connect with our desires within our soul. Joy is the key to healing. If we can find just a small bit of joy for something in our lives we can change turmoil to peace. So my loves, ask yourself what brings you joy in life? What joyful things do you do everyday? And are you playing the happy game of conditions or just allowing joy to carry through whatever Spirit brings to you today? Open yourself to joy and life will be full.

Namaste' Mother Mary

February 1st, 2009 Love


My Dear Children, what is love? We seek love, we fall in love, advertising tell us what to love, and we even have a holiday to celebrate love. Love is important to us. We desire love and acceptance from those around us, and even seek it from those who cannot give us love. Love feels at times like a mystery or a rare gem still hidden. But when you stop looking outside of yourself you will find the love you are looking for.

We have used many names and emotions to describe love. What is Love? Love is God, the Divine, the core vibration that connects us all. Love is not tricky, or hiding from you, it's within you. To understand love we must ask ourselves how we feel about love and our relationship to Divine. How you feel about God tells you a lot about how you give and receive love. Divine is within you, so love is within you. When God is outside of us we seek love but are not allowing ourselves to be love. Love needs to flow in both directions. We need to shine our love to beings around us, but we too need to be loved. If we have love inside it is natural to share that love with others. The connection we have with all life creates such a pull to connect and share love that by just breathing you have become one with love. Those that cannot share their love have not found love within. Only by truly connecting to Divine Love can you have that never ending flow of love filling the world around you.

When we fall in love with another we have found someone who can reflect back that love that shines forth from our hearts. Our love flows from our heart to theirs as their love flows to us. This exchange is what takes our breath away, erases away rational thinking, and makes us do things thought impossible. Love does not have to make sense. Only God knows how life will change, just as only Love knows who will best reflect your love.

God has no conditions to experience life. We as humans have placed conditions on ourselves and others to make life more complicated. Love is much the same. Love with all your heart, and you will find those who uplift your spirit. Be careful with expectations around ‘soul mate'. We can become so caught up in this prefect person we will loose the experience of love right in front of us. When we do have that soul connection it comes from sharing love with no boundaries or limitations.

So my loves are you ready to look truthfully at love today? Clean up the confuse and worn out thinking around love and tap into the source of love within your hearts. Remember you are one with Divine and in that connection you are loved, content, and accepted just as you are. I love you ~ Mother Mary.

Raven's Notes:
Yipee! It's a new year and even better it's an 11 year (2009 2+0+0+9=11). For some it will be about relationships and partnership (a number 2) - woohoo for all of you who've been holding out looking for Mr. or Mrs. Right this year might be your chance! For others of us it's about connecting the Heavens to the Earth through insight and healing. So what does that mean? Interesting dreams, visions, spiritual practices and meditations, and believing in the change we are creating on this Earth :) So open your mind and heart to new understandings! We all will have lots of opportunities this year to see life in a new way. Your experience around that will be positive or negative depending on how flexible you are with change. Sound fun or are you shaking in the knees? Just remember 11 years are about divine channel of love and wisdom, so just listen to your heart and your guides will assist you in whatever adventure you choose. Should be a crazy, exciting, and illuminating year for us all - have fun!

January 1st, 2009 Finding your Easy Button


My Dear Children, let us rejoice! A new year has begun again and we set out to continue our journey with the Divine. As we set our goals for the year we can find ourselves over whelmed by the list of things we inspire to complete. Goals help us to focus our vast resources of energy from the heavens to manifest our desires and dreams. We can plan, organize, and write lists to become clear what and how we desire to create, but there's something more important to do first. We must believe we can have these desire things in our present life.

It sounds easy, does it not? I love the easy button ad your office supply store uses. A simple button you push to create what you desire. We all have this ability to create with ease and grace, it is our belief in self and allowing the process of creation that we struggle with. What is this allowing I talk about you ask? Allowing is a flow of energy (life) to connect us with our dreams and the reality of manifestation (of these dreams) in this world. In simple terms it means we believe we can have the car we desire and we allow ourselves to go to the car lot and buy the car. The dream (desiring a new car), the process (finding what car lot has your car), and the manifestation (receiving the car and driving away) is how we create. We sabotage this creation process with thoughts of ‘I don't deserve to have it', ‘I don't have enough to afford that', and ‘I'm not qualified to ask for that'. This critical voice within us prevents this easy process and keeps us stuck in the energy of lack and worthlessness.

Finding your easy button within your heart means facing our own self image and limitations you've created in your life. It can be frightening to see yourselves in truth. Even as I speak these words your stomach tightens and you have come to a internal decision if you are going to begin this understanding. We program ourselves to respond from what we've experienced in the past. If we have sabotaged our desires in the pass and seen how life will not go as planned what do you believe will happen next time you try to create? If we believe we will fail, then failure you will manifest. The easy part is we can change our minds. For some of you that changing happens a lot! What I mean by changing your mind I speak of changing old beliefs around what you believe you can have in life. Change that lack to abundance, loneliness to companionship, and struggle to ease and grace.

Practice is the best way to create your dreams easily. Sometimes we find the process difficult, or more time consuming then first planned. Don't give up your energy, just give up the control of the process. Everything you desire in life can happen, just not in the way you think! This process of creation always starts with your belief in self and then transforms into whatever experience you need. Having an open mind, loving self, and lots of humor helps you accept life and life to bend for you.

Find your easy button now my loves so you can change this world you live in. Knowing we live in a balanced, open minded, and loving world we create just that. Enjoy this year of communion and creation from the Divine. In no other time on this world can you create with such ease and grace. Focus on what you desire and open your hearts to receive! Much love to you all.
