A Request from the Spirit of the Leaf

Channel: 02/27/2026

Introduction: If you have ever wondered what it would be like to understand the thoughts and feelings of nature, welcome to the Gaia Translate podcast. My name is Tracy Shoolman and I am a nature mystic, a sound healer, and a channel. The Gaia Translate podcast offers you direct access to channeled conversations with the sentient beings and spirits of the natural world. They are most grateful and excited to reach out to our human family and seek to know themselves held in the light of awareness and respect. Access to the transcript for this episode's channeling is available at GaiaTranslate.com.  

Greetings, friends, and welcome. This is your host, Tracy Shoolman. In today's episode of Gaia Translate, the Great Spirit of the Leaf steps forward with a small and simple request, which truly serves as a blessing of continuance for us all. The transcript is available in the show notes for this episode at GaiaTranslate.com.  

Great Spirit of the Leaf: It has been a bit, yes, since you heard the knock of our awareness upon the door, and yet we are grateful that you have and receive us into that which is the room of your awareness, daughter. You have and were confused a bit. You did not perceive that that which has and would vibrate as a part of a whole, that which has and is the aspect of the life form of plant, those of the plant kingdom, those of the ones who have and are cyclical in their shedding of leaf each season, would have that which is simply the aspect of their nature, which is leaf, would be that which has and with its own awareness seek to reach out and tap you upon the shoulder of your will.  

Channel: Greetings and blessings, Great Spirit of the Leaf, you are accurate. I felt that was right, but I just couldn't align with it right away. I'm sorry, I apologize.  

Great Spirit of the Leaf: It is understood, daughter. We step forward as a part of a greater whole, and yet as that which has and would seek to make gentle inquiry of you and through your willingness to those of your clan, if we may, what is the image that has and swirls about in your inner sight? Are you willing to offer that to those who have and receive this song of our awareness?  

Channel: I am, yes, Great Spirit of the Leaf. I see the trees that surround my yard in the fall. There are days when all of a sudden great hundreds of the leaves, all of a sudden as though somebody flipped a switch, start to cascade down off of the branches. I also see great numbers of the leaves gathered up across the lawns and land as they have fallen. 

Great Spirit of the Leaf: That is accurate. And many of your clan, when that which is the part of the life form of tree or plant or shrub that has and releases its leaves when they no longer serve at the point of the cycle, you perceive these as dead, do you not? They appear to be without life, and that is where we have and would offer a slight, if you will, shift in your perspective. It may be so that there is that which is lacking in the flow of the nutrient that has and fed and exchanged energy while attached to that which is the tree or shrub or bush, and yet that is not a place of stasis of the exchange of energy that has and was held within the leaf unless it is contained in a manner that has and would hold it in the stasis of its return or transmutation from one form of energy to another in service to the ongoing flow of life in this plane. 

When we are gathered up by your clan and moved from where we have fallen, raked up in great piles, it is not that we have and would step forward to suggest is less than efficient, though we would not deny it, for where we have and fall there are many life-forms that have and are served by our presence there in the season of the wintering over. That is how we are designed. We are not, as you perceive it, nuisance or simply that which is detritus with no energy or service left, simply because we appear to be dry and, if you will, without the vibrancy of life that has and you perceive as there when we are attached to our source, yes? 

You perceive us as dead, and in some manner this is accurate. We are no longer a vital member of the community from which we have and were born, yet we have and would continue our service most willingly to know ourselves able not to be held in abeyance and unable to participate and flow upon the currents of exchange of energy. That is the great design of this planet. 

What are we speaking of, you may inquire. There are the containers that are made of your own materials that are called plastics, that when we are placed within them, we have no way of continuing in our cycle of flow. For this barrier holds us where we may not know ourselves, transmuted into that which has and would nurture the next seasons of life that has and would grow from the soils. We have and are not able to serve as protection or shelter for those other creatures who have and would seek us to protect them or to line their nests with that which has and provides some warmth or insulation from the wintering weathers and winds that blow. 

We are not suggesting, as we are aware that many of you have grown so enculturated to the preference of a naked ground mass in those seasons of winter that you would forego this ritual that you have grown so accustomed to in certain parts of this planet. Rather, we would simply and earnestly request that as you have and gather us, that you have and place us, if you will, in containers that have the capacity to be reabsorbed or composted or biodegradable in an efficient fashion, and in this manner, you have and allow us the continuance of our flow as members of the energy of resource in this plane. As such, if you have and gather us into such a container that has and is easily digested, if you will, by that of the natural world, we would further ask an additional boon of your grace that you simply place us at one place or another where we are not surrounded by the plastics or that which has and holds other within them. For that which we have and require to allow us to continue as that which is the energy of our form released in knowing itself in another manner has and is yet still held a point of stasis, and it is in this manner we have and will experience ourselves in what you have perceived as the stasis of a lifeless form. 

There is great power and potential, although it may not appear to be so, for the short-lived season of your clan, and we understand this is amusing, for when you consider what you perceive as the season of a lifeform of a leaf, it appears short indeed, be it only one season of blooming as the cycle of the sun would have, and warm us and then call us to our dropping as the earth itself turns its cheek a bit away from that source.  

We would be most grateful to be offered the blessing of a continuance, a flow of our energetic, for while you have and may perceive it simply as our slow reclamation into that which is the forest floor, the soils, that which has and would be at some place or another in future season a resource of nutrient and serve us to other members of life in flow. In this we do continue. Our energy is offered the blessing of continuance. While you have and are most attached to the physical form of your own leaf or body in this or that lifetime, it would be that which would be inconceivable if you were told that if you too were wrapped in plastic that you would not be able to have that aspect of your expression which you perceive as spirit or eternal energy to move forward in its continual growth and exchange of energy in flow. It is not a perfect analogy, and yet we do not feel this is too great a burden to seek upon those of your clan. If you have and will continue to gather us up and sweep us away from our natural habitat, though we know ourselves able to serve quite adequately, and for some it may become more useful to be in allowance of that relation, yet for those who still prefer a naked ground mouse upon which to set their eyes, it would be a great blessing not simply to those of clan of leaf, whatever the source or tree or shrub or bush of our origin to be offered the allowance to continue in that which is the energetic exchange of our field in flow. 

It would not be so much to set us to that point where that which is to be composted has and may know itself able to rest and to be recreated and reborn in a manner of service to the Gaia and to other lifeforms in this plane. This would please us greatly. This would fill our hearts with joy, for there are many of us who have and understand that this aspect of the overall energy of potential that has and feeds the flow of life in this plane has been, if you will, captured and set aside, unable to contribute and creating, although this may appear to be quite hard to perceive at first, that which is a diminishment of the overall energy available in service to the organism that is the greater Gaia light, the planet, in this flow. 

It is this boon of the grace of your clan, daughter, that which would be the willing separation and placement in biodegradable or a natural form of containment or container that has and would hold us as we are carted away and tucked into various corners of what you understand as your landfills. And we would seek, we do not mind being placed within the soil, for that is an acceptable home for us. It is, but that which has and holds us within it that is not able to be re-assumed as part of the energy of flow. That is the point where we truly know ourselves in the stasis of what you would call death, a lack of flow in fullness, yes?  

You may consider in coming seasons the value of, if you will, mulching in some manner those leaves that have and fall in your own land, and using this as your own form of nourishment for your beds of plants or vegetables, for that which you have and seek to feed rather than to purchase that which has and contains us in truth at your local store or nursery. We are not expecting your great shift in that manner right away, although we do perceive there are those who are already discerning its efficiency and its nutrient value for your own gardens as you seek to nurture them and the other members of your community, your yards, your gardens, your lands that have and embrace your residences as you know them so. 

We are grateful for the willingness of your receivership of that which, yes, is the song of the leaf and the vibratory field of leaf, not of a single species, but as that which speaks as delegate for all. It is a great blessing to have and serve to all of us, your species well included, when you allow us to be in the continuance of the exchange of energy, such that we may serve again and again as that which may not appear to be as we were, and yet that which has and is designed to serve and to remain as willing participant in the constant flow, whatever form we may take, of the energy of life in this field.  

We are so grateful for your receivership of this small request. It would be that which would fill our hearts with such joy, for in this we will know ourselves able to serve as we have been intended, yes, and as we serve the greater flow of the exchange of energetic, we have and remain in what you might understand as the vitality of an energetic in service to life and as a member of it in flow.  

It is this we sought to ask and to seek. We do not feel it is a great burden, and we have and offer gratitude for the willingness of your clan to open the hearts of their consideration and perhaps to indulge our request in a timely fashion. And in so doing, you have and also contribute to the redepositing, if you will, of that which is the finite resource of energetic that is required and has been in the great flow of life and energy that is a part of this plane. We have and would take our leave, and we are very joy-filled for the opportunity to bring forward this small request and place it in this manner into the ears of the heart place of your clan, daughter.  

Channel: I am very grateful for your patience and also your willingness to deliver this message. I have and am honored to receive it and to serve it to those of my clan as they have and are willing to listen with the ears of their heart.  

Great Spirit of the Leaf: It is complete. We have and gratefully take our leave. Blessings of the evening to you, daughter.  

Channel: And to you. Blessings be.
