Channeled by Sarah Root, all rights reserved.

Hi, this is Sarah. I'm a Voice for the New Earth, bringing you deep inner connections with nature and all of life, for new ways of living on the planet. Today's episode was the first one that was given. It expands your senses in nature, with trees and deer and more...so that you literally experience and feel them as you go. You'll come away with fresh heart-opening perceptions of the world around you. Enjoy!  Welcome to Tales from the New Earth . 

This first tale is the First Steps into the New Earth. I am stepping forward and I see three nature beings, you could call them fairies. But they're multi dimensional and very, very wise, masters of the New Earth ways. And they beckon. They say they're the Dancers, and that they're here to help us lay down the path into the New Earth. I step forward and greet these three Dancers, with their skirts of gossamer light and their magic toes that know how to touch the earth, how to truly dance it awake. They glimmer at me, and they're holding hands. I feel very light in their presence. They kind of ruffle their light skirts, and then they turn and glide away.  I see that they're gliding on, or even above, a lacy glowing path. They look back over their shoulders, then wave at me to join them. They have  very joyful smiles on their faces.  

And so I look at this lacy glowing path and I reach a foot out. I notice that I sort of skate or glide effortlessly after them, floating above the Earth. It's very easy. Then I see all around me  a wonderful lush green foliage, as we are entering a new and different version of Earth. The three Dancers say there are going to be three stops in our journey today. This will lock in our path of entry into the New Earth. We glide along through this beautiful forest of  big old trees, full of ground cover and undergrowth....it feels very benevolent and welcoming. The three Dancers say, you're gliding above Earth and you're able to do that because your vision and your intention are guiding you into this space. Your vision and intention is to glide and so therefore you glide. I kind of laugh - it's so easy!  

To the left of our path is a massive tree, a matriarch of trees. She's festooned with green vines that hang down from high branches all the way to the ground, like ribbons. Her bark is russet and glowing and alive; I look up but I can't see her upper reaches. Somehow I know that this this tree is the doorway, the portal. She's warm and welcoming. Some of her vines reach out for me and for the three Dancers too, and she gestures us toward her. I kind of shuffle in close and smell the most beautiful sweet fragrance from her glowing bark. Come close, she says, I am Vestra and I am laden with welcoming gifts for you. And I feel that these gifts are not just for me, they're for all of us on Earth. Come, she says, look in this knothole in my bark. I look where she's lighting herself up and I see a knothole about the size of my face, a rounded hole that has gentle edges, and I smell her sweet woodsy perfume.  Come look in, she says. I just trust her, and put my face right up to that knothole, smelling that fragrance. It's just the size of my face and it caresses my cheeks; and inside it is dark. 

And then ... there's a silver light in the darkness and it grows larger. It's coming toward me. And I can feel that the three Dancers are pulling, invoking, inviting this silvery light to come to me. And it's so sweet and warm. This light begins to slip over my head, my shoulders and down around my heart. It's like a gauzy hood, a light-energy, and it's informing me and seeping right down into my mind and my eyes and my heart. Vestra says, the invisible is made visible. The mind is all new. The heart is all true. And I feel so. So just light and warm and so different and so easy. And I know that I've been touched and infused with something beautiful from this portal tree. I feel infused with new senses, new ways of seeing and perceiving and taking in the world. And as I release my face from the portal of Vestra, I feel so clear and fresh and bright. The three Dancers are saying, you are now blessed and welcomed with the new energy-clothes you need for this world, the New Earth. You are ready! So, I step back from the beautiful fragrant tree, and look up so gratefully into her spreading branches. They're  full and flowing with  beautiful leaves that are gold and green; they put such a big smile on my face. And I just feel so much love for the beauty of the power of this place. And then down upon my upturned face, I feel the lightest, most delicate rain of shimmering droplets falling. It's like holy water or a baptism or a blessing or an anointing. And then I immediately recoil from this thought and think, oh, that's kind of religious. And I hear Vestra saying, it's all holy, it's all holy. There are no separations, no definitions, there are no systems. It all flows together here, it's all holy.  

I feel so so reassured, deep, deep in my bones by this, and so I extend my welcoming-ness to these droplets falling, and feel how sweetly they come to me, bless me and merge with me in a joyful way. So many emotions and feelings are happening here, that I know are shared. The three Dancers beckon me and say, we'll be back, now come along. And so I turn and extend my joy to Vestra again, and then I follow the three Dancers. As we glide along, I notice now that my vision is different, very different. I can see the wide view as usual, but I can also focus in sort of telescopically wherever I choose. I see not just up close, no, but actually into the energy fields of different parts of nature.  We we are gliding past a deer, and I'm so distracted by being able to see into things; yet we stop at the deer with a white nose and I realize that this close vision has kicked in. I see and feel into the loving energy of White Nose. Oh, my goodness, I realize this is not just close up vision. This is merging my senses with the deer's senses - we are becoming one. I can see and smell and feel what the deer knows. 

And because I'm kind of right there inside this deer - I kind of stepped right in - I think I should probably say hello. Make a proper greeting you know! And so I smile warmly, as I gaze at White Nose and from my mind, in my eyes and my heart. As I smile. I feel now extending such a loving warmth. There's such a quieting of all that my mind used to think it knew about  deer. I am just wholly present. This presence is the the gift of that silvery light hood that I was given by Vestra, that slipped over my mind and heart and senses.  So I'm grateful again to the great tree for this gift. As I merge and sink right into this deer, I can see and feel that as I extend a loving hello, I can sense as the deer is sensing. I am simply flooded by the majesty and the magic and the beauty of being able to be present with another creature at this kind of etheric level. Yeah, "invisible" was right! The visible is made visible. I'm seeing feeling knowing in a merged way.  Again, I catch my mind saying to White Nose, but people hurt deer; are you sure you want me this connected with you? And then I just feel and know in me that this way of thinking is just fear and smallness. It's not who I truly am. I remember the blessings of the quiet rain that came down on my face and the silvery hood. And I realize they've purified me somehow; they've purified my intentions so much. They have made me a new kind of human worthy of standing with and within this beautifu deer. White Nose blink slowly at me and I feel it's telling me, Yes, you're worthy. I welcome you. I am here to help you get used to merging with another and staying out of your own way. Just flowing with the experience. 

Then White Nose says,  turn with me now...we're going to gaze out into the forest.  As we do I feel I huge, subtle,  all-pervasive sensibility extending through me. It is amazing. I can smell the tiniest fox footprints in the leaf duff, up the hill. I smell it. I can hear the tiniest trickle of springwater under the ground way off to the left. I can see the breeze-ruffled leaves moving all the way around m. My senses have been blown wide open! My mind can't quite take it in. How is this level of merging with all things possible? It kind of feels like sensory overload. It is just a flood of sensory information in this merging.  The three Dancers step in and gently take me by the arms. Come, they say, speak a loving thank you to the Mighty White Nose for sharing with you. 

Sit here now on this stone and breathe, and just be peaceful. I'm giggling a little because I kind of got overwhelmed. I wasn't in my mind. This is your antidote, say the dancers, whenever you get overwhelmed in the New Earth:  just ground and breathe.  I do, and then I realize we're at our third stop, with this beautiful stone. I just keep breathing and just kind of being in my own body again. And after a few minutes, the dancers ask me to bring my attention to my feet. When I look down, I see I'm barefoot, although I don't recall removing my shoes.  They say, here's how to ground in a new way. Just send tendrils outward and downward into earth, from your feet with joy. Joy is the key. You have to be happy and loving and peaceful and just so pleased to be part of this earth. Feel how it's your new playground and it's a happy thing that you're here and alive. So listening to them, I feel my feet so tingling. When I look dow, I'm seeing and feeling and sending these tendrils and rootlets down and out further and further from my very brown bare feet, beautiful bare feet. It feels joyful, and pleasant, and right. The Dancers say, now send these tendrils down until your feet feel part of the soil and part of the trees, the ground life, the stones and the very planet.  I send these tendrils down, down, out out,  like a network that extends until suddenly there's a flash of warm gold, orange, enveloping me from the feet up. A deep, warm, peace pervades me, body, mind, heart and soul. It's like I'm in a deep, deep well into the Earth now. I know. I know and feel that this Gold-Orange Flame is a grounding blessing of deep belonging with the new Earth. Breathe deep, say the Dancer sisters. Welcome this purification, this benediction. This is a sacred hello from the body of the actual planet. Now THAT is what it feels like to be truly grounded! So welcomed.  

My feet have grown into the soil, the rocks, the roots, the substrate, my spine is straight, and tall. My heart is bouncing and light and happy. I belong, I belong. I belong! I'm like a kid in a sandbox with brand new friends. It's just pure joy in its pure togetherness, like nothing I've ever felt. It feels so right, in my heart, my body and my mind. The Dancers say, you can always walk this way and feel this way; be this grounded and clear and connected. And I just feel so happy to belong to the earth.  

The Dancers say, you've done beautifully. You've completed your first journey, the first stpes into the New Earth. You have all new senses. A newly clear open mind. A deep and,warmly loving heart. You are lighter. You've experienced profound oneness with Another from this lightness, and you know in every fiber of your being that you belong. I nod with this great big grin on my face. They continue, those gifts are the rites of passage. They're your basic tools for exploring the New Earth. You can access those gifts intentionally, consciously, any time by revisiting Vestra the Doorway, and Whitenose the teacher of merged senses, and Earthing through your special feet. And I touch these places:  my mind, my heart, my senses, my earthing feet. The dancers say, these knowings and tools are yours to keep. These experiences have changed you.  I bow humbly. And I take a big breath and I can scarcely take this all in; all the gifts I have been graced with. 

The Dancers lift me, hold my arms so I don't wobble. Together we turn, we find the lacy glowing path, and  glide back through this rich, lush, lovely forest. We come again to Vestra the russet portal tree, who is bowing to me now with her whole canopy, raining another shower of happy droplets down on me. It refreshes me and brightens me up even more. I feel so, so loved in such a new way, loved by the Earth, by all of nature. I don't feel separate anymore. I turn now, with the three Dancing Fairies, and we return together to the world as it is. They release my arms. I know somehow, and I see and feel, how the world is now totally different - because of how I see and feel and know it.
