When I was 16 years old I attended a vision quest led by an American Indian shaman who was visiting my home town of Alice Springs. The vision I received, after fasting, sweating, meditating and staying awake during the night, came at dawn. It was a vision that predicted my current career as an Aura Healer and Reader, although I didn’t know it at the time!

Lately I’ve been wondering if it might actually have been my first Gaian attunement, delivered via my power animal the spider. Rainbow light bounced off a spiders thread into my eyes, and it felt as though it was pouring into my third eye. Perhaps my first attunement was a third eye attunement, and I am now, 30 years later, coming around full circle, learning how to attune the third eye of others to Gaia’s healing energy.

My early childhood was divided between Alice Springs in Central Australia and Lothlorian, large property in an isolated rainforest in Tasmania, where we lived in a tent and I bonded with the trees. My mother raised me to believe in Mother Nature rather than a male, Christian God (Bless Him!), so I already had a strong bond with Nature well before I “met” Gaia for the first time in person in my early twenties.

She came to me during a guided meditation, in a sequence of visions that appeared in my minds eye a second before the person guiding me described them. It was though my human guide could see what I was seeing! Gaia welcomed me into her arms like a long-lost daughter, and then she pushed shards of crystal light into the palms of my hands. “Healer of and from the Earth, daughter-sister mine, go forth and heal the Earth, heal the people.” Check out this blog if you’d like to hear more.  

After this, I met my light and shadow guides, Thomas and Khryse, who took me under their wings and taught me all about yin and yang, about balance. They helped me integrate my male and female sides. Years passed, and I became an aura reader/healer, a “rainbow shaman”. My next meeting with Gaia came during an aura reading with a client. The young lady was pregnant, but didn’t know it yet, and Gaia just happened to be delivering the spirit of the child into her womb at that very moment! You can read this story here.

In hindsight, I now understand why other psychics keep seeing so many baby spirits around me! Gaia, the archetypal mother spirit, had been with me all along, but it’s only in the past few years I’ve become consciously aware of our deep bond. In 2017, my husband and I travelled throughout Australia in search of a new home. We revisited my childhood home in Tasmania and three months later we purchased a 100 acre property in northern NSW, which we named “Lorien Valley” in honour of Lothlorien.

Lorien Valley became our home-away-from-home, our eco-minimalist writers-retreat! It was here I befriended a native kurrajong tree and began reconnecting with Gaia. The land knew we were coming. Knowing also, that I would connect with the Kurrajong tree, the tree was elected as spokeperson, an intermediary between myself and the land, myself and Gaia. There is one precious blog from our first three months spent at Lorien valley, which you can read here. 

Towards the end of this visit in 2017, Gaia began talking to me about the new attunement she had given me and she asked me to begin attuning other people to her energy. Back in Darwin in the new year, we ran a Gaian Healing Attunement with about 20 people attending. I channelled Gaian meditations throughout the day and faciliated conversations that helped people recognise the mutual bonds they shared with different parts of nature. We talked about the plant and animal kingdoms, and the elementals!

Each person received an attunement that toned and realigned their feet chakras with the Earth. Much of the day was spent calling on nature-spirits for help with clearing blockages and I’ve since learned that Gaia refuses to do an attunement unless a person’s channels are clear. When she crosses her arms and gets that look on her face I know she won’t budge until the blocks are gone. She has a special distaste for heart-chakra blockages and parent-child wounds, and is meticulous about clearing the energy lines through the legs.

Once that’s done, she helps me align the energy centres between the feet, in the pelvis/belly, and in the heart chakra. We gradually raise healing energy up from the earth, into the belly, and then up to the heart. From here, once Gaia is satisfied the energy is balanced and full, we run it down through the arms and out through the hands. The hands are fun, because she always puts something in them, like a blessing or a gift, which is unique to the individual.

This year, Gaia has asked me to run another workshop. She’s taken me through a few new attunements (you can read about one of them here) and has taught me how to raise the energy up to the third eye, bringing it into alignment with a power centre in the belly. When she first did this attunement on me, I was amazed by the sudden clarity I had! My chronic self-doubt and procrastination was gone. I could see the bigger picture and I knew exactly what to do next. I’ve noticed, when doing this second attunement for others, that they become very clear and focused, a lot more grounded in their vision. Illusions dissolve and the way forwards becomes clear.

Anyone who attended last years workshop is welcome to attend again, as are new people. Gaia says she will do the first attunement for you if you are ready and the second attunement for those who are ready for it. Please be aware, that if Gaia crosses her arms and refuses to do an attunement because of a blockage and we can’t clear it, we’ll have to honour her wisdom and try again another time! We’re more than happy though, to refund the workshop fees if this happens.

What you will go home with though, is some guidance on how to shift the blockage yourself, slowly over time, along with a day full of magical connections, both with like-minded others and the nature-spirit realm itself.

If you are interested in coming along, use the contact form on this website to send me an email. And yes, for those who are wondering, I am creating some online Gaian Workshops! I’ll talk about this and the Gaian Meditation subscription service in my next blog.

Blessings and love from Om and Gaia
