Losing someone you care about in a dream can be extremely upsetting. It’s the sort of dream that can have you waking up in tears, full of relief to know that you were just sleeping and none of the pain you suffered in your dreams is real. Some people think that this dream can be a premonition that someone in the real world is going to pass away, but that is rarely the case. If you take this dream too literally, it can fill you with a lot of unnecessary fear. Death in dreams usually is symbolic of transformation. There might be some big changes going on in your waking life or some aspects of yourself that are being transformed.

Living from the Place of Lover and Beloved---this is becoming my theme for Saturdays. Somehow, we manage to live our lives blind to the love that's here for us. Experience the shiftthat can heppen when you start showing up differentkly- and open yourself to actually sense what is being offered to you at every step, evvery breath- by none other than Gaia herself.
Today, acknowledge the deep surrender, eagerness and readiness Gaia brings to every step you make. Every touch of you excites her, and she's ready to experience it all. Honor her by being aware of this. Feel how it opens the love in you. From that place, your whole life will change. Start now.
Stop a moment. What are you looking for? Be aware that it is here, now. Allow it to unfold.
Paradise is here, now. You’ve heard it from so many spiritual teachers: everything is here, now. Don’t go searching for it. Be with that knowing a few moments. Earth is here. Now. You are here. In that relationship is everything. All the love, all the intimacy, all the accountability. How much are taking for granted? Are you giving it your presence? Start now. There’s no space for guilt, the only thing you can do is: start now. Feel the earth under your feet. The rest will unfold. It’s all there.
Step into the place of the lover, and the beloved will turn up. The Lover is here for you, has been here all along. Step into the place of the Beloved and sense Earth from this position. Gaia. She's here. She's more than ready to be your Lover. Open up to what starts happening in your life- today- as you step into this. Feel your cells responding. Feel your energy. So much wonder, magic and love right here, right now!
It becomes easier when you allow yourself to be the Beloved of Gaia first. You don't need to make the first move. Gaia is inviting you through every tree, every bird song, every flower. Will you stop and see? Allow your breath to quicken and your heart to miss a beat? Step into the place of the lover, and the beloved will turn up.
