WHOLISTIC RELATIONSHIPS FOR THE NEW MILLENNIUM
With yourself, others and your personal surroundings...
and most important...with Gaia, your planetary host!
by Christopher and Jeannine Marie Jelm

As we move along our spiritual paths, many of us naturally focus our attention on improving our "inner" space...attempting to lift our personal vibration through the clearing, healing and activation of our subtle energies. Most folks agree that spiritual development is an "inside job" and that "going within" is the principle place to go through prayer, meditation and various forms of energy work.

A natural outgrowth of getting on track with one’s personal inner journey is an examination of relationships with those around you. We strive to create healing or closure of old relationships that no longer serve us, as we cultivate new, more satisfying relationships...perhaps ones more conducive to advancing our spiritual development. As we each become more whole, we can attract and sustain more wholistic relationships with others...perhaps taking them to new, undreamed of heights of awareness, grace and joy!

Part of being more aware is about moving on to create harmony between ourselves and our actual personal, physical environment. We become aware of our personal surroundings and that they are simply a reflection of our own inner planes! Does your personal space need a good cleaning? Is there clutter around you that needs to be straightened up, sold off, given away or thrown out? Does your home feel open or restrictive? Does the placement of the furniture in your home feel inviting or blocking? The ancient Chinese art of Feng Shui offers a wonderful tool to help the most spiritually-aware person to become even more appreciative and energetically-conscious of his/her immediate personal surroundings.

As we expand our wholistic relationships with Self, others and our personal space, we begin to realize more clearly that our relationship with "the larger space around us" needs to be in balance in order for each of us to create a true sense of "wholism" for ourselves! We speak, of course, about the personal relationship that we each have with Gaia, our Earth Mother.

As a powerful, focal point in time, the Millennium provides all of us with a unique opportunity to deepen our connection with Gaia...a chance to develop a truly aware, personal relationship with our divine Earth Mother. Ultimately, by cultivating this step in the spiritual process, we will create greater harmony with our own divine Higher Self energies...providing a framework for the enhancement and acceleration of our own personal spiritual development.

Via her own ascension process, Gaia is creating a more conscious awareness of herself. Through her planetary transformation process, humans are being energetically stimulated and awakened to a greater sense of connection with her. This kind of connectedness and respect for the Earth Mother has long been felt by the indigenous peoples of the planet and has long been forgotten by most other cultures! These indigenous peoples have deeply understood that the Earth Mother is not just a planet of rock, water and air. They know that she is a sentient Being with a physical form that is our planet and a vast spiritual form of higher vibrational, etheric energies.

As she moves along her ascension path, Gaia is rapidly coming into physical, emotional, mental and spiritual balance, in preparation for her shift to even higher levels of consciousness. Actually, at this time, she is much farther along in her ascension preparation than is humankind....humans must accelerate their own ascension preparations in order to keep the global/human transformation on track! One way to support this acceleration is to become more aware of our personal divine nature, more aware of our divine planetary host and more aware of the extraordinary relationship between us. Take time to expand your relationship with Gaia!

For the New Millennium, create a fresh start...begin to personally connect more deeply with your planetary host. It may be as simple as...noticing the tree outside your window, a small flower, an unusual rock, the sweet song of a bird or the sunlight dancing through the clouds! Take a few moments each day to notice...to really notice Gaia’s beauty that otherwise may go unnoticed and unappreciated as you scurry about your day. It may be as simple as...occasionally taking some extra time out from your busy schedule to go to a park, a mountain top, a quiet forest area or stretch of beach...and wholistically cultivate your relationship with your world...with your Gaia. Just as you would work on your relationships with yourself, others or your personal space, work on your spiritual relationship with your Gaia! It may be as simple as...linking through prayer, sending her your love, meditating on peace and harmony for mankind or asking her to support you in your healing process. As a sentient, spiritual Being, Gaia is always available to those who wish to link with her, energetically interact with her and even communicate with her!

During the exciting and challenging transformational times ahead of us, you have the opportunity, and perhaps the spiritual imperative, to focus on becoming a truly wholistic being! As you clear, heal, expand and deepen your relationships with Self, others and your personal space, add Gaia to your list. Strengthen your connection with her, so we’ll all move smoothly and gracefully together along our path toward having Heaven on Earth. Take the step, however small, to start now!
