Mother Earth Speaks - Companion Planting

It is spring time!  Finally! I was looking through past journal entries about Mother Nature and Mother Earth to see what wisdom each of them sent me in the past.  In a meditation, I channeled the following information about getting ready for the garden and wisdom on companion planting as guided by Mother Earth.

**********************************

Dear Ones!  I come to speak to you about planting for some of you are getting ready to plant in green houses or even out doors.  You can give your herbs and garden plants a new kick start by planting different herbs with different plants.

For example, if you plant Basil with Tomatoes, you will repel insects that plague tomatoes.  This is a Mother Nature natural remedy for pests!  This works with potted plants as well as ground planted veggies.  

If you plant chives around apple trees, it will prevent scab on the apples.  Since chives have a lovely purple flower, it also brings the bees around to the apple tree.

Nasturtium plants repel aphids when planted with beans and tomatoes.  Nasturtium flowers can be used in salads and sandwiches.  Nasturtiums also make an excellent companion plant to not just broccoli or apple trees, but also to corn, sweet corn, Zea maize,  and cabbages.  

Harvesting your Herbs

As soon as there are enough leaves on the herb plant, that picking a few will not impair the plant's survival. This also means that the herb is ready to be harvested. Always harvest your herbs in the morning hours. It is usually in the morning that the herb plant's oils are at their highest concentration. When harvesting herb make use of a sharp knife, pruning scissors, or shears. Do rinse the herbs gently in cool water immediately after harvesting. Allow the herbs to air dry, or pat the herbs lightly with a paper towel. Use them immediately, alternatively, store in the refrigerator for later use.

Blessings,

Love Is In All Beings

 

 

Horse on its mum's lap
Some pictures just don't need captions.
There is nothing like Mum's lap no matter who you are. 

This is a newborn offspring of Taskin, a Gypsy Stallion owned by Villa Vanners of Oregon ..
These pictures were taken immediately after his birth on April 6.   The mare lay down, and then he trotted around and crawled right up into her lap

 

 

 

One of my friends knows how much I like animals. She has gifted me with a set of animal pictures that are amazing!

There are some BIG messages in these actions.

1. All beings on Earth are capable of love.
2. Love is about acceptance, caring, responsibility, and freedom.
3. All beings do better with love.
4. Every being does better with a hug!

Blessings,

Black Horse on Freedom and Energy

As I sat in meditation.  I asked what animals wanted to come in, and what they wanted to talk about.   One of the first animals through the archway was a beautiful black horse.  It was as though a great wind was blowing through my room.

The Black Horse said:

People talk about freedom and the most common thing in the conversation is that there are a whole lot of things that they do not want to do.  Horse has always known that freedom is about making the choice to keep the community – the herd – together and to protect one another.  Horse has learned that freedom means nothing if you are open to attack from the wolf.  Freedom is only a benefit if you can feed, water, and have young.

Badger on Teaching

 

One of the other interesting animals that popped in for my meditation was Badger.  Badger had lots to say about teaching.

• Everyone has a responsibility to teach the young.  This is not a job to be delegated to one or two beings.
• Those that are delegated to teach should not choose the path.  Instead, those around them should observe that they are good teachers and support them in the role of teaching.
• Teachers should be well paid because they are teaching the future.
• Teachers should teach what is the common understanding and the common courtesies of the community.  
• Truth is limited by the interpretation.  It is better to let students discover the truth on their own.
• Mother Earth and Nature will help in the teaching of the truth.  Trust this resource.
• When one teaches, they should be in a place of ONENESS with the Universe and with Mother Earth.

The Golden Light That You Sometimes See

The conversation below comes from my journal.  I was teaching a class on being aware of spiritual beings or spiritual presence.  One of the students asked me about seeing a golden light or very shiny light around some people or animals or objects, and wondering what that meant. When I was in meditation, I asked the question, and the answer below is what I received from the Angels.

**********************

Dearest Ones!  We come to answer the question, “What is that golden light that seems to shine from time to time on people, or animals, or simply in the corner of the room?  What does it mean?”

This golden light is the Christ Consciousness light.  It tells you that whatever is going  on is happening with intent for the highest good.  

The term today is “Christ Consciousness”, however, in other belief systems, the light may be called something else.  

If you see the light, you are blessed!

Crow Talks About Life

When people talk about meditation and how peaceful and quiet it is, I think of some of my meditations where animals pop in, and while I may be peaceful, the time is not quiet.  For example, Crow came in to the meditation last night.  Crow caws constantly.  Even as he talks, he caws.  It is his nature.  And, Crow is loud.  He does, however, have some interesting things to say about life, about humans, and about other animals.  Check out his ideas.

• Life is not worth living unless you do it with gusto!  Be loud, try everything, and share what you know.  This is my motto for life. 
• If you set yourself up to be robbed by leaving valuables sitting out in the open world, then someone is going to take them.  Shiny stuff is very attractive. 
• A meal is a meal!  It does not matter if it is moving or not.  Take what is offered and be grateful.  A meal you do not have to get yourself is the best one. 
• Higher up in the tree is better.  You see more.  You see more opportunities.

I was just getting into the conversation when Crow had to fly off.  Somebody was really upset about some of the shiny things that Crow had taken today.

Siberian Tiger on Sharing

 

The wonderful thing about meditating is that it opens your mind to a wide variety of ideas, and takes you to different dimensions so that you can understand all that there is about being connected.  Sometimes, however, a meditation will take me to surprising places.

Today’s meditation dropped me in the snow somewhere on a mountain side close to two Siberian Tigers.  I was a bit startled.  So were they!  After snarling and growling, they finally stopped and shook their heads.  I could see that an explanation was needed.  So, I told them that by mistake, (yes, I know there are no mistakes), I seemed to have overshot my happy meditation retreat, and landed in their hunting territory.  Benji, the larger tiger, basically said, “No way!”  And, I replied, “Yes, way.”  

To help the situation along, I asked them if they had anything that they wanted to share with me since Tigers are known to be such excellent teachers.  The Tigers reflected for several minutes, and said that they would like to share about sharing.  Here are their comments:

• Although it is easy to be on your own, and it is easy to live a solitary life, everything becomes easier with a companion to share the road.  Hunting is easier, although one needs to do it more frequently, and rest time is more secure because there is two or more, of us.
• When you are on your own, sometimes you miss things around you because of being focused.  When you share the road, the other being usually helps you to see more; to be more alert about the environment.  This is a very practical thing.
• When you can share the work of hunting, or peeling off the meat from a hunt, your body takes less of a beating.  It is good to share the work.
• Sharing a meal is a good way to remind yourself that you must be grateful for the food in your life – what you call “abundance”.
• When you are hurt, another Tiger can help you with your healing by licking the wound, protecting you, and bringing you food.
• It is tough to learn to share, and worth the effort.
• It is in the nature of most animals to share to keep the species alive.  
• Creator is causing changes in all of us to make sharing easier, I think.
• All of the ancestors were good at sharing and hunted in packs.  The food did not go as far, but it was more frequent.

The Tigers said that they must return to their hunt.  I popped back to my meditation cushion, and realized that I felt quite cold.  I felt that I had a very interesting journey.

Blessings,

Judy
