About the Book
I am the nonphysical sentience of this planet simply put, I am the planet Earth. I am the body and the soul of the planet you currently inhabit. My sentience guides and enlivens all that surrounds the planet as well as all that is upon and within her. My sentience animates the air you breathe, the energy you burn and the water you drink. My sentience the most aware, advanced and attuned aspect of my being is that which directs these words. Although many believe in a sentient or feeling Earth, not all are attuned to her. Channeling offers a unique advantage in this respect, because it allows the transmission of vibrations and impressions to be communicated as language.
Today two priorities guide my sentience. The first is to erase the perception of separation that seems to threaten the planet. The second priority is to awaken and expand the collective consciousness. It is my hope that you will find my message meaningful and that you will continue to develop an appreciation for who and what you are.

About the Author
Pepper Lewis

She has been the primary voice for Mother Earth (Gaia) for over fifteen years and has carried Gaias unique wisdom and guidance to many corners of the globe.

Pepper is passionate about passing her art on to others and has developed an exceptional program for teaching channeling to every skill level, from beginner to professional. Her unique methods are a blend of time-honored traditions with a few new twists on an ancient art. Pepper explains her passion as follows: Channeling continues to be a mutually enriching synthesis of prayer and meditation. In prayer, you offer gratitude and ask, and in meditation you receive answers. In channeling you can do both at the same time. It is the most fulfilling practice I know.

Acknowledgments
Long before this book existed as it does now in its printed form, it still existed. It existed in my heart, in my mind and in my future timeline, which Mother Earth would reveal to me once in a while when life seemed particularly hard. As validation for its eventual birth, I felt both empowered and at peace whenever I would so much as sit with or add to the pages that Gaia had written through me.
Never has there been a time when I have been unsupported, unloved or alone, except by my own choosing. I have always been guided and assisted, not only by Mother Earth, but also by the wisdom of those who now read these words. I humbly thank you for helping me to hold the vision of an awakened, conscious, sentient and healthy planet Earth who is both our Mother and our partner in evolution.
I would like to express my deepest gratitude to a few very special people who have encouraged and supported me throughout this endeavor, especially when the task at hand seemed bigger than I. My words to you are simple ones, but the depth of the well of feelings from which they emerge is limitless.
To Albert and Betty Keen, my mom and dad: Thank you for allowing me to unfold and develop my life in my own way, no matter how different it has been from your own. Thanks for letting me keep the rose-colored glasses I wore as a child. As you can see, I am still wearing them, and they have made all the difference.
To Bryce and Keenan, my two sons: You are my greatest loves and are a continual source of inspiration. Your unique interests have allowed me to explore and celebrate my own. Thank you for teaching me the meaning of unconditional love and reminding me that the child within each of us continues to be our greatest hope for the future.
To Rob: Your trust, patience, love and support mean the world to me. Long ago I dreamed that I would share my life with someone whose vision was similar to my own: the vision of a whole and healed planet where compassion and partnership were the norm rather than the exception. You added the words best friend to that dream and then made it come true.
To Isis, my spiritual mom: Thank you for prodding, pushing, cajoling, reprimanding and loving me into accepting my role as a channel, writer, speaker and teacher. To my dearest friend, Bob Resnikoff: Thank you for teaching me the kind of wisdom that only a spiritual curmudgeon can know and for sharing the joys of a fellow bibliophile. To Lee Carroll, my friend and adept companion in the field of channeling: Thank you for pointing the way and for holding the door open. Thank you to Kahu Fred Sterling for creating a warm and inviting inner and outer environment in which smiles and laughter are always spiritual. To Ronald Ross, my friend and mentor: Thank you for helping me to see that the baby steps and the giant leaps all come from the same source. To Melody Swanson of Sedona Journal of Emergence! and Light Technology Publishing: Thank you for encouraging me to take the next step in channeling whenever it seemed that I was hesitating on the threshold. Thank you to Beth Black for encouraging me to seek sanctuary at Mt. Shasta and for offering her friendship and her resources. To Sharon, Lynette and Donna: You are the best friends any woman could hope for. Thank you for being such a significant part of my journey.
