[This is a cross-post from my Earthbytes blog.]
This past Sunday during my morning walk with the dogs, I became aware of a strong, warm heart-centered energy that stopped me in my tracks. Standing there a moment to attune to this energy, I received an impression of both words and image.
The phrase was "holding human heart space." In my mind, I saw a heart-shaped space that was pulsating with a regular wave, generating an electromagnetic field, much as our human hearts do. I have used this dynamic heart image before, but that day it was the "holding" idea that seemed to speak of something new, something coming -- but whether for specific personal or planetary healing and transformation (or both), I did not know. The only detail I could see at the moment was that holding this human heart space served as a focal point for an influx of higher dimensional energy that has been showering Earth for some time, and could be directed to any situation needing healing. But the holding -- steady, intentional holding -- seemed to be a key.
I invoked these words and images many times this week as it seemed each day brought more ominous news, not only from friends and members of the larger human family around the world, but from the man-made catastrophe that grows larger every day in the Gulf.
As the week went on, I saw messages, videos and other sharing of experience that told me that a massive call to action has reached the human heart space of thousands of people. This network of human hearts is manifesting in a way that is less hidden and more conscious, and it is wiring itself for a huge leap of love in action on behalf of Earth and all on it.
Today I received a link to this message:
"Take Heart" message from the Great Council of the Grandmothers
"Take heart. As fear and desperation grow, so does love. Selflessness is growing now. Community is growing. Often you must endure horrific events in order to come awake, remembering the truly important.
"Your culture's focus on yang energy has cut you off from the truth of life. You've lost touch with things that grow, bloom, and bear young. You've forgotten your connection, and when mankind forgets, a lesson comes. The deeper the forgetting, the deeper the lesson.
"To do this work with us you must have the stamina of the Net of light. You are needed, and you are needed day in and day out. Develop your connection with the Net of Light and you will be able to do great things.
"Let your heart open. We know that to look upon the suffering in the Gulf and other places is painful. And to see the hardened hearts of those you call the "haves," they laughed ruefully, "is more painful still. They are most pitiable for they have nothing. They have missed the point, grasping and grasping--ending with only a fist full of air.
"We ask you to take the challenge," they said, giving me a level look. "Feel what you feel. Let compassion well up within you and then go forward and serve. Serve with your hands, serve with your voice, with your resources. But most of all, serve with your heart.
"Cast the Net of Light and let it hold you too. Hold everything in the Net. This is your greatest job. Holding, holding, holding. The dominance of yang energy on your planet has conditioned you to worship speed. Now!" they cried, striking their hands together to illustrate. "But the benefits of holding will endure a long time. It will lift all heavy conditions on earth, will lift the earth itself.
