Lunar Year of the Water Rabbit

January 22, 2023

Welcome Lunar New Year of the Water Rabbit!

We leave the energy of Tiger Year behind and welcome the gentle spirit of RABBIT!

Though I can't speak firsthand of Chinese Five Element Astrology, I can share my shamanic interpretation of what this new lunar year may have to offer us.

In energy work, Water is often associated with Emotion and there certainly seems to be an abundance of that going around, would you agree?

Rabbit energy is typically reflective of fertility and new life which always brings me back to spring.

Here in the Northeast, snows melt to water and thus saturates the earth with the nourishment necessary for spring seedlings to grow. It heralds a good time to ask ourselves what energies are we watering in our lives? What if any emotions are we drowning in? Remember, that which we water grows.

Perhaps it's time to bring the gentle reflection of Rabbit into our awareness so we can re-distribute any excess water to places needing it more.

On a more lunar note, did you know that newborn rabbits are able to be out on their own after only 28 days? This reflects a perfect lunar cycle and hence Rabbit is often associated with the Moon.

Make this year a time to take notice when the moon is full and look for new illumination in your life - also when the moon is new, to begin something new again, as one would write out intentions on a blank slate.

Welcome a year of Rabbit Energy to help us sort out lingering emotions so we may stretch and grow in good light and bring those thoughts and intentions into a more fertile, productive pattern.

Aho.

Cave Time

Ahh, cave time, my favorite time of the year.

The Fall Equinox heralds a turning point on the Great Medicine Wheel of Life.

The place of the BEAR.

A time to slow down. To go within. To ponder the deeper meanings of life thus far.

To everything there is a season...we must learn to slow down to allow time for "process".

Fall is cave time for BEAR who teaches us the importance of Introspection.

Bear Medicine offers us a glimpse into the Great Healer - and each of us is just that.

Healers unto ourselves.

But how to ever know this unless we slow down, take time to meditate, come unplugged, perhaps even learn to journey!

Allow the reflection of the silence in the stillness to reveal itself to you.

Call on BEAR Spirit to help you see deeper into the shadows of your own consciousness where true understanding can be found.

For when the Wheel turns once again on the Winter Solstice, we may carry that understanding to meet with our Ancestors who offer Wisdom and enLighten us on how to begin again come Spring.

In these quiet chilly days before the holy daze begin,

In the silence of this stillness,

All reveals to those who seek.

Aho.

July 25 - the "Day Out of Time"

According to the Mayan Calendar, the "Day Out of Time" occurs each year on the 25th of July. It is an 'in between' time, one of potent spiritual energy and insight - if - we acknowledge it as such and tap into it (access the knowledge).

This calendar has 13 moons in a year, each consisting of 28 days. If you multiply 28x13 you get 364...hence one day leftover to make up a "year" as we know it, which has 365 days.

It is a time to celebrate cycles that are ending and the start of new ones ready to begin.

From time immemorial, there have been many ways of time keeping and many various calendars. I first learned about this day many years ago, and have since always tapped in to acknowledge it one way or another.

It is a time asking us to REST, RENEW and RE-EVALUATE our life situations. Typically we find this energy in the WEST on the Great Medicine Wheel of Life, when things slow down at the end of summer and the autumn begins. Yet this is one day, not a season or quarterly cycle.

One day.

It speaks to me this year (2022) of Going to Water in the early morning hours to 'wash away' or cleanse that which needs to go...and of a Fire Ceremony and Drumming in the evening to transmute and activate new intentions being set. Follow your intuition if this speaks to you, connecting deeply with the Elements, Nature and yourself; ask what needs to be re-evaluated in your life? Are you where you wish to be? Do you just need to rest? Do you need to cut cords? Shift relationships? Where or what is in your best interest to renew?

My intention is to ask 'What is reflecting back to me as an ending of a cycle in my life and how might I best honor that and step into that honoring on this day'?

A friend posted the following words (see below) on facebook that I just happened to see as I don't typically go onto facebook. I researched a little before posting so to give proper credit to the source. As far as I can tell, it looks to be excerpted from "Dreaming the Future; Re-imagining Civilization in the Age of Nature" by Ken Ausubel which was published in 2012 and feels relevant to both that time and to what is happening for us all today. Please forgive if this is not the correct source. And feel free to check out that book just the same since it found it's way onto my radar today and I don't take these things lightly!

Either way, I thought it quite timely and important to share.

As always with spiritual words of wisdom, take what you like and leave the rest.

.......

"The Mayan people call this the "Time of No Time". From here on, we're on Earth time. Mother Earth is shaking to her core. It's a time of madness, disconnection, and hyper-individualism. It's also a time when new energies are coming into the world, when people are growing a new skin. The Mayan vision says that we in the West will find safe harbor only if we can journey past a wall of mirrors.

The mirrors will surely drive us mad - unless we have a strong heart. Some mirrors delude us with an infinity of reflections of our vanity and shadows. Others paralyze us with our terror and rage, feeding an empire that manufactures our fear into resignation. But the empire has no roots and it's toppling all around us. In this time everyone is called to take a stand. Everyone is called to be a leader.

To get beyond the wall of mirrors, the final challenge is to pass through a tiny door. To do this, we must make ourselves very, very small. To be very humble. To be courageous and then we must burrow down into the Earth, where indigenous consciousness lives.

On the other side is a clear pond. There, for the first time, we'll be able to see our true reflection..."

Aho.

The "Z" Zone ...

I don't know about you, but I'm feeling "z'd" out....

Seems we are at the 'end' of something - as in the alphabet??

All I know is the Ending is the Beginning and we are transiting something very big.

I feel pretty comfortable with my spiritual 'grasp' on things, though I am ever reminded that for all we know or think we know, there is always more!

I don't so much rely on or even read, keep up with other folks spiritual blogs or forecasts or podcasts; rather I continue to listen to my own inner knowing.

I trust my instincts.

I pay attention to my dreams and journal them as I find the deeper meanings therein often lead to my guidance for the day.

Dreams offer us symbols and signs, metaphors of the answers we seek, whether consciously or not.

And so today my knowing is we are in the Z Zone - and for all it's worth it feels to be a time to offer gratitude to the 'alphabet' of 'stuff' behind us and to take only that which will support us as we move into the new offering that is just on the horizon and must begin with "A".

Not much different than a planetary retrograde, it's a time review how we got here and consider it as mulch - it feeds what we WISH to grow now. We don't need to drag any of it along, only that which supports our current intentions.

So when you're feeling slightly off or adrift in a sea of 'stuff', ponder this....We are in the Z Zone. We are at the end of 'something'.

For each of us personally, maybe it's a time to cut cords, to end old stories, to release the old thought processes that have held us back.

The universe is aligned to support us right now! With Saturn, the planet of structure, being retrograde, it's an opportune time to look around at the structures in our lives and ask who is beneficial and what needs to go or find their closure.

Structures may be the place we live, the way we relate to our finances, the condition of our teeth and bones - however you translate it for you personally, it is a great time to revisit these things and bring them forward into the next expression of the 'alpha' (first) 'bet' (what we know we can count on).....after all, we are the authors of our own lives and only we get to put pen to hand and write our story.

Time to close chapters on old stories that no longer serve our highest good and turn the page.

How will the new story of you begin??

It does not matter when you start, only that you do....

Love Intentionally, Extravagantly, Unconditionally

"Do not be dismayed by the brokenness of the world.

All things break.

And all things can be mended.

Not with time, as they say, but with intention.

So go.

Love intentionally, extravagantly, unconditionally.

The broken world waits in darkness for the Light that is you."

L. R. Knost

Winter Solstice Blessings

I am the Spirit of the North

Welcome to my healing direction!

I am the call to twilight, the early morning hours.

Welcome me into your intentions and know that I am placed here before you as a divine helper for you to connect with anytime.

Acknowledge me as the reflection of the deep dark night sky that shines down upon the Earthly Mother. I am here to help you in the Ways of Wisdom and the Power of Dreamtime. I am the Direction of the NORTH – the place of the Ancestors and those who have blazed this trail before us.

You may access my knowledge deep within you, when you ponder the wisdom and messages of your dreams. Breathe and call on your lucid memory as you fall asleep each night so that you may remember the guidance and messages from the olde ones.

Allow me to help you remember your dreams and remind you to write them down when you awake in the morning. I can assist you in understanding these lessons being placed before you now.

Know that you have my total cosmic support in this place of higher wisdom.

My wind, which arrives gently from the NORTH, carries with it all of the cellular memory of the ancients, our ancestors. Open your windows and breathe in my refreshing cold air and know that you are divinely supported as an elder who has traveled the traces and experienced all life’s great offerings along the way. Allow my wind to gently blow into your room at night, delivering these sacred gifts to your subconscious as you set your intentions to remember them upon waking.

On the Great Medicine Wheel of Life, I represent the color White – the pure essence of Winters Snow that glistens like a dazzling Light from heavens above.

Take a moment now, and visualize yourself standing upon a mountain top. Notice the beautiful night sky above you and open up to the White Light that beams down, surrounding you in this very place. This pure white light is a gift from above, from your angels, your guides, your ancestors, Creator his/her self. Allow this divine infusion to fill every cell in your body, from the top of your head to the tips of your toes.

Can you feel it?

Breathe me in now, as you pull down this sacred light from the beam above and then raise it up from deep within the earth where it meets in the center of your solar plexus … as you exhale, wrap this energy around you and know that you are divinely supported in all directions.

May my gentle wintry winds cleanse and clear you and renew your vision as crisp and clean as a field of newly fallen snow.

I am the Spirit of the NORTH– call on me anytime you need help falling asleep or anytime you need higher guidance for whatever may challenge you in life.

Call on me at the stroke of midnight and in the wee hours of twilight when the veils are thinnest and we rest in preparation for another new day.

Call on me when the great Northern Lights color the Earth

Your wisdom may arrive in the form or an old woman, man, Buffalo or Snowy Owl who revels in a lifetime of Spirit, Prophecy, Experience, Abundance, Joy, Peace, Love and Higher Vision - may you accept and absorb their gifts of wisdom and enlightenment. Tap into their energies each time you envision the stars up above. Their gifts are as expansive as the cosmos itself. Allow it to open up before you and as you feel their connection and support from above, know that you see me clearly now

Breathe

And Awaken my Spirit within you

Breathe

And Welcome my Healing Energies

The Energies and Direction of the NORTH

Aho.

On turning 65...

Wow.

I had no idea how turning 65 would affect me.

It wasn't that my newly gray/white hair would now have a reason to stay.

Or the never ending AARP mail in my mail box.

What really BOTHERED me was the fact that I had to accept "medicare"!

And it bothered me so much that I had to sit down and find a way to allow this new word into my life.

Be it known, I have worked my whole life and still do, have health insurance and am not on any medications.

I don't have any health issues.

Yet this thing called "medicare" now looms over me, forcing me to change the way the health care system looks at me and now takes what little social security I had coming to me, and makes this my new payment for this "coverage" (cover age)

But guess what? I've come too far down my Path of Spirit to accept anything less than my highest good and so I wish to share a simple reflection with you that may help you or others when they cross this solar return.

The morning of my birthday I sat at the kitchen table and said, OK, we need to find a way to accept this word because right now, I cannot.

And so I wrote it on a piece of paper.

M-E-D-I-C-A-R-E

And there it was, right in front of me the whole time.

Med I Care

Now I could handle this 'thing' called medicare because it is and always has been, about the med I care about - which is alternate healing, good medicine, sacred gifts and my own healing practices.

So yes, even though I am 65, I still (and am very grateful) to rely only on my own good medicine, my own healing gifts and abilities as this is the med that I care about.

Not only that, my heyoka (or upside down backwards self) would turn the letters around to form this:

Era Medic

This is indeed, the era of the medic for I am my own best medic.

We all have this have this ability to heal ourselves.

Now, I can happily share my wise woman words of wisdom with others about what turning 65 really means to me.

And if I can assist anyone on their similar journeys with what I have learned along the way, please do not hesitate to contact me using the form to the left.

Aho!

BEAR Wisdom

Don't try to fit your spiritual practice into your busy life - rather fit your busy life into your spiritual practice.

Medicine BEAR Woman

Happy Spring Equinox~!

SPRING

"Somewhere a black bear

has just risen from sleep

and is staring down the mountain.

All night in the brisk and shallow restlessness

of early spring I think of her,

her four black fists flicking the gravel,

her tongue like a red fire

touching the grass, the cold water.

There is only one question:

how to love this world.

I think of her

rising like a black and leafy ledge

to sharpen her claws against the silence of the trees.

Whatever else my life is

with its poems and its music

and its glass cities,

it is also this dazzling darkness

coming down the mountain,

breathing and tasting;

all day I think of her—

her white teeth,

her wordlessness,

her perfect love.”

― Mary Oliver, House of Light

Happy Lunar Year of the Ox~!

2021 rings in the Year of the OX

Metaphysically or energetically speaking, Ox delivers the gifts of strength, endurance and perhaps even a little stubbornness. Good energies to assist in this new year as we forge ahead dreaming our dreams out loud and creating whatever it is we wish to manifest.

Something interesting happened as I sat here just now, typing the word “ox” - my heyoka vision saw XO instead of OX.

And so now the Year of the OX becomes Year of the XO – or the Year of LOVE!

The metaphysics of SPIRIT really does have a sense of humor, as this New Lunar Year also rings in Valentine’s Day.

In the famed words of my favorite BEATLES, "LOVE is ALL you need"

Wishing everyone a Year of LOVE, LIGHT and the Pursuit of Happiness!

Dreams those dreams out loud - we are what we think so believe in those dreams!

Shine the Light and share the LOVE, far and wide.

Do something nice for someone today - and don't tell anybody.

A little kindness goes a long way - and a sprinkling of LOVE goes even farther.

Here's to the deeper meanings that exist all around us!

All one needs to do is 'acknowledge' them to 'access their knowledge'...

Bear Medicine Blessings to all in the New Year of the OX - who brings us Strength & LOVE~!

XOXO

Aho~!

Retrograde Medicine

The Cosmic Medicine of Retrograde Planets

Mercury, the planet of Communication went direct on Nov 3 (election day), though we are still feeling the effect as it moves out of the retrograde shadow.

Mars, the fiery planet of energy (tension, conflict) goes direct on Nov 13. Which means there may still be lots of potent ‘going back over fired up energy’ happening in our world at large.

Neptune is still retrograde in Pisces until Nov 27 meaning there is still time to go back over those mystical dreams and alternative realities where we can find some clarity and real guidance in the spirit world.

Chiron, the Wounded Healer, will remain retrograde in Aries until December; meaning we have that pioneer energy of Aries taking us back to the original wounding, where we may finally reset the point of reference and clear the way forward.

Uranus goes beyond all that and will be retrograde in the sign of Taurus until January! This planet is all about breaking forms, sudden unexpected changes and unpredictable experiences; and Taurus the Bull has the ability to break through and complete this task.

To ponder these in heyoka way, I would say the wounded healer is paying attention, making adjustments and opening her eyes to see that by rolling with the punches, a new way is opening up; a way that is inspired by our present day dreams and visions yet is deeply rooted in going back to remember, where this dream and vision once originated. We have the energy of the Bull breaking thru the old paradigms (china shop) and the power of the ancient/future dream leading the wounded healer on to victory.

As we are being freed from what once held us back, we come together to create a new level of personal vision and new possibilities from which to choose.

(We really can’t make this stuff up, which is why I love tuning into it as it helps ‘explain’ things to me)

.......

“The advantages of an astrological viewpoint begin with living in tune with nature rather than in alienation from it”

– Thomas Moore (The Re-Enchantment of Everyday Life)

Starseed Reflections

Everything you have done up to this point in life has prepared you for what you are to do now

If you know what that is, take a step into that knowing

If you still do not know, seek the reflection that will stir the inner knowing of who you are, and what you came here to do

The reason we need spiritual teachers is because the eye cannot see itself, it needs a reflection

We have turned a corner

Moved beyond a construct of illusion and fear

You may not yet see this but it has happened

Energetically, vibrationally, biologically, we have moved beyond a door that has previously been closed off

Those who have 'known' for a long time, have been able to journey through this door

We raise our own vibration by being of service to others

It is time to share those sacred gifts, open up to your own "good medicine"

The Star Ancestors have always told us “ be of service to one another, focus on love and forgiveness, and change humanity for the better one person at a time, starting with yourself.”

And the Hope Elders have been saying for some time now, "WE are the Ones we've been waiting for"

Wait no more for the time has come

We have arrived.

Begin something today, no matter how small.

You have the permission you seek – consider yourself activated.

Aho.

World Peace Meditation Part 2

The second part of the World Peace Meditation will take place around the globe on June 29/30, 2020.

Please join us for this bookend meditation to the one we did on June 14!

(sharing info from Cobra website and Welovemassmeditation.com:)

It is time to take action again and take the destiny of our world in our own hands! We are using the opportunity of the powerful Jupiter Pluto conjunction on June 30th to create a portal through which we will unify our consciousness and trigger the process that will lead us into the Age of Aquarius.

Make this viral! Share it worldwide! Please post it on your websites and blogs. Invite spiritual groups to join us. If you know an alternative media outlet, you can send it to them. You can create a Facebook event for your local group of people doing this in your part of the world. You can create a video about this and post it on Youtube.

Scientific studies have confirmed positive effects of mass meditations and activations on human society, so each of you that will participate in this activation can actually help bringing the Age of Aquarius closer to us:

http://thespiritscience.net/2015/06/18/studies-show-group-meditation-lowers-crime-suicide-deaths-in-surrounding-areas/

http://www.worldpeacegroup.org/washington_crime_study.html

This activation helps the Light forces to ground the energy of Light on the surface of the planet to further stabilize the timeline that will lead into the long awaited Age of Aquarius. Number of people doing that activation is the single most influential factor within the power of the surface human population for speeding up the process.

We can reach the critical mass of 144,000 people doing this activation! We can even reach one million! This will create a massive healing chain reaction in the energy field worldwide.

Jupiter Pluto conjunction on June 30^th is the turning point of the 2020 Age of Aquarius timeline stargate which has opened on January 12^th with Saturn Pluto conjunction, has its turning point on June 30^th with Jupiter Pluto conjunction and will close on December 21^th with Jupiter Saturn conjunction.

The purpose of the whole 2020 Age of Aquarius timeline stargate is to stabilize the Age of Aquarius positive timeline for the planet, and our activation on June 30^th is the turning point of this process.

In astrology, Jupiter Pluto conjunction symbolizes great societal and spiritual reform which will bring abundance of spiritual and material wealth to humanity.

We will be doing our Age of Aquarius Part 2 meditation at the exact moment of Jupiter Pluto conjunction on June 30^th , which will be at 7:48 am CEST in Paris. This equals 10:48 pm PDT on Monday June 29^th in Los Angeles, 11:48 MDT on Monday June 29^th in Denver, and then we cross into Tuesday June 30^th for other time zones: 00:48 am CDT in Chicago, 01:48 am EDT in New York, 6:48 am BST in London, 7:48 am EET in Cairo, 1:48 pm CST in Taipei and Beijing, 2:48 pm JST in Tokyo and 3:48 pm AEST in Sydney.

June 14, 2020 World Peace Meditation

*Sharing this information from https://www.welovemassmeditation.com/2020/05/meditation-at-exact-time-of-eris-pluto-square-on-June-14th-at-310-pm-utc-for-maintaining-World-Peace.html

On June 14th, there will be another rare astrological aspect when Eris Pluto Square occurs the second time this year. This upcoming Eris-Pluto Square will have a big impact on the process of planetary liberation for the rest of the year.

In terms of Astrology, Pluto is being seen as a gatekeeper and escort into deeper levels of self-empowerment. It emphasizes the importance of looking within the self, rather than outside of self, and finding our nuclear core of the creative force. It also emphasizes the use of that force in ways that empower others and that awaken ourselves to new vistas of human potential, conscious awareness, and experience waiting to be realized.

Eris is a feminine warrior archetype that has no fear or hesitation to intervene and expose a greater hidden truth. She tends to pierce or crack open our current bubble of perception through which we view and experience the world to see beyond the finite bounds of our current perception, beyond the bounds we place upon ourselves. In other words, it helps us to unlearn what we learned incorrectly in the past.

This upcoming Eris-Pluto 270° square marks entry into the last quarter of the Eris-Pluto ~359-year synodic cycle that began in 1757 CE, and herald the time of change.

This Eris-Pluto Square is likened to the Last Quarter Moon in a lunar cycle, a time of transition in the cycle.

During a time of transition, there can be chaos until a new and better equilibrium can be achieved. What is happening now in the US can be seen as an example of this. Legitimate and peaceful protests are being manipulated into violence with a potential to become a civil war.

To utilize the energy of this Eris-Pluto Square for the benefit of humanity and the whole planet, we will do a peace meditation at the exact moment of this astrological aspect on Sunday, June 14th at 3:10 PM UTC.

We will do a mass meditation for maintaining peace in the United States and the whole planet.

This table shows the time of the meditation for selected time zones:

Aho!

June....is for YOU!

As I begin this post, my intention is to quote from the June chapter in my book "The Cosmic Template; Shamanic Month Minder for the Evolving Soul"...and the chapter title reads: June ... is for Joy! However! Each time I typed it, the word YOU kept showing up instead of JOY. After 3 attempts (and just now again), I've decided that SPIRIT wants us all to know - June is for YOU!!

...

As the calendar turns over to reveal the month of June, have you noticed the chirps of happy birds? Have you walked barefoot in the lush green grass? Have you stopped to admire the blossoming trees, bushes and rapidly growing perennials lining our gardens and back yards? Have you taken a moment to offer Gratitude to Mother Earth for her never ending gifts??? It is not difficult to find simple joys in the month of June, all we need to do is come unplugged and get outside so we can truly listen and experience the sights, sounds and scents of nature.

Joy often escapes us and get shrouded by the various stresses in our lives. Especially now, when we are overloaded with news of viral pandemics, riots and protests. On today's "Note from the Universe", TUT shares:

"What happens when someone worries? Basically, they think of 100 reasons why something might go wrong. And all of those thoughts then struggle to become things, sometimes overriding their more constructive thoughts. That's the power of worry.

Now, let's say you want something fantastic to manifest in your life. Have you closed your eyes yet and imagined 100 reasons why it might come to you easily, fast, and harmoniously?

I think you should.

Today works,

The Universe"

We are what we think, no matter what we think! We are shaped by our thoughts and our thoughts create our reality. I've heard so many say "I can't wait for this to end" - I think it helps to shift our perspective in a way that we do not have to carry those worries and fears into our personal sacred space. We can choose to be happy, and even joy full!

Now is a time to remember who we are - who are YOU? Perhaps this is the spirited message coming through the keyboard - if June is for YOU then, who are you??

June is the sixth month of the year - the number Six represents Mastery.

June 21st marks the Summer Solstice, a turning point on the Medicine Wheel that reminds us, now is prime time to fire up those passions and projects that we CHOOSE to give life to. Remember, we have a choice!

And so I leave you with these positive thoughts - as the strength of the Sun shines down to help our literal gardens blossom and grow, so too are we fueling the internal gardens of our minds, bodies and spirits. What will you water? The blossoms or the weeds??

Please take some time this month to experience the JOY of YOU. Remind yourself of your sacred gifts and shine those out into the world, share your Light and Love in whatever way you can, if only in Prayer! Choose the reflections that you mirror knowing they are what is growing rapidly in the Garden of Life right now.

"WE are the Ones we've been Waiting for" say the Hopi Elders - and so I call for the question - Who are YOU and What are YOU waiting for??

Dreamtime Wisdom

April 28, 2020

This morning I woke from a dream:

I had just gone outside into my yard when a baby rhino came barreling around the corner of my house straight towards me. I ran to my back door and got inside to close it just as the baby rhino got his head nudged in enough to swing the outside door open. I looked at him thru the door window and saw my next door neighbor behind him, kind of corralling him in with a yard tool, and he was laughing as it seemed all very surreal, almost cartoonish. There was no fear. I said to him “I’ll call Arlene, that’s her baby rhino”

And I woke up.

Always one to seek the deeper meaning, I naturally went right to my Ted Andrews Animal Speak book to look up the metaphysical wisdom of the rhino.

“Rhino represents Ancient Wisdom. All rhinos are basically solitary and bring with them an energy of comfort in one’s own solitude”

Wow. Potent message during this time of viral plandemic.

Some may shrug off a dream like this as crazy and then go about their day, yet there is great wisdom to be found in our dreams if we take the time to ponder and apply the message to whatever is going on in our lives at that moment.

I will share that yesterday afternoon, seemingly out of the blue, I felt very melancholy to the point of tears. It was pouring rain outside, very windy and I was feeling pretty down in the dumps, missing my 2 year old grandson who lives on the west coast and whom I hadn’t seen since January.

After reading the “Animal Speak” wisdom, I realized it was a beautiful message from a “baby” reminding me of the ancient wisdom ‘to find comfort in our own solitude’.

Being a wisdom walker myself, a greater reflection arrived when it shone back on me, as Rhinos are the embodiment of the mystery school axiom “know thyself”. In this Light, I knew I needed to share this dream/potent message with everyone, as we all move through this time of solitude so apart, yet ever together.

And so I embrace and honor the wisdom and spirit of this baby rhino who knocked at my back door (subconscious) to bring me some baby comfort during this time of solitude.

Double Wow. What a potent message and heartfelt delivery, because I took the time to think about it and apply what was on my mind to discern the message.

There is much clarity to be found in dreamtime right now, so Dream on friends!

And do not be afraid if a rhino comes charging during this time of solitude – he/she is ancient friend and metaphysical door dash delivering comfort in these times of challenge…

Aho!

(ps...Arlene is a shamanic colleague, friend and teacher, I wonder what the message will bring for her??)

Wisdom of the Grandmothers

My friend Shalimar shared this post with me and I was so moved that I'm sharing here as well...

(The credits at the end may be where it originated and/or the photographer)

...

Grandma, how can I live this quarantine?

"My daughter, quarantine is a special, mysterious and sacred period. In my days, newborn children could only leave the house for the first time after their 40th day of life. It is a period of waiting and preparing for a new life. It is the period that produces a great change."

And how do you prepare for this change?

"With simple, genuine and loving actions. Every morning comb your long hair with dedication and untie all the knots, even the most hidden ones that you have always neglected. It is time to put all the knots in the comb. Then dedicate yourself to untangling even your beloved ones skeins. With patience and you will try to find the end of the skein, the exact starting point of the thread. Already with these simple but powerful actions you will create order outside and inside of you. Undoing physical knots with your hands you will begin to touch your internal knots."

And after undoing the knots, what can I do, grandma?

Remove all parts of you that are no longer fertile. In many funeral rites of ancient peoples it is believed that the deceased leaves the body entirely on the 40th day after his death. In these 40 days, my daughter, cut your hair, eliminate clothes that you have not worn for a long time or that you no longer want use, open the windows of your home well to let the stale air out, cultivate new thoughts by abandoning the old, dedicated to creating new habits, new customs, new traditions."

Grandmother, I'm afraid that after this isolation nothing will change. Man quickly forgets...

"How others will react to this quarantine is none of your business. Make a commitment to change and not forget. Make sure this storm shakes you up so much that it completely revolutionizes your life."

Power Animal Weekend!

April 24-26, 2020

Sharing New Sun Energy Works daily Shamanic Thought - this weekend's power animal is.....a potent and timely one!!

Spiritual Visioning

Much of my daily practice has to do with Spiritual Visioning, but what does that mean?

I start each day in my own sacred space, quiet and still, as I enjoy a strong cup of black coffee and ponder the day before me. Some days I smudge, other days I pull an oracle or tarot card for inspiration. Both are beneficial infusions to my mind, body and spirit.

As I ponder how I wish my day to unfold for me, I envision the highest and best possible outcome of whatever it is I am endeavoring. If there are yard projects needing to be done, I envision how the finished product may look and work towards that outcome. If I am cleaning out closets, cabinets or rooms in the house, I envision the end result, and see before I even start, how it will look.

So too, can we dream this way, imagine if you will, and be free to create our own realities - all things must first begin with a thought, an idea, a dream or imagining. This is how artist work, how seeds of books get their inspirations and how "good medicine" creates a better way.

"Medicine" in spiritual terms, represents those sacred gifts that are inherent, those sparks of light that make us who we are, each unique in our way special way and each carrying, a spiritual torch of enlightenment. Sometimes we forget what it is we came here to do, other times we are reminded of the power of these gifts, when we recognize them, honor them and share them.

And so our "good medicine" becomes our sacred practice, working from the deep cellular level of sacredness and allowing the divine to reach out from this place and touch others.

Some may call this prayer, others setting intentions. However it presents to you, practice some Spiritual Visioning today - honor those gifts inherent to you, those special qualities that you possess. Perhaps offer a gentle hug or verbal gratitude to yourself, as you look in the mirror and give yourself a wink or a nod, reminding your spirit that you have arrived...

.......

This morning I started my day pulling an oracle card from my new favorite deck called "Earth Warriors" by Alana Fairchild.

The card I pulled is number 26 and called "Amaroo" - The Beautiful Place

I share a little with you from this card as they remind me how important and how potent our words and thoughts truly are and if so, then we do have the powers inherent to create a better way just by imagining the vision of what that would look to begin with.

"Your dreams of a beautiful world are not a product of childish fantasy nor idle imagination. They are true spiritual visions inspired by the universal heart that yearns for divine paradise to be manifested in all worlds. You have a life purpose to assist in the creation of divine harmony in the world, through sacred activism and the expression of your soul talents. Believe that the beautiful world you long for is not only possible, but part of your spiritual responsibility to create."

Claiming the Light

When things come to a halt after an extended period of time, something is automatically reset. This not only happens in our daily lives, as we are currently experiencing in our jobs, schools and circles of contact, but also on a very deep cellular level.

It is important to remember, that despite the challenges we all face right now, we are still in the driver seat!

I am prompted to share some words of wisdom from the card reading I did for myself this morning - it said, in part "through unconditional divine love and my own free will, I surrender that which is not rightfully mine." (*)

No matter what your belief systems are, or what truths you believe right now (or lies that you don't believe), know that when your heart is full of hope, you are unstoppable. Likewise, when you are full of stress and grief and sadness, you are stopped, as you feel no hope.

The path is yours to choose.

Now is the time to do everything in your power to stay connected to the Light, and bring your own loving energy, purpose and passion to the world. Remember, we are what we think! To that which we give our energy only amplifies.

Take some time today to step back and witness your own thoughts; what is that you are focusing on right now? Where is your attention going?? And more importantly, how do you feel?

Whether you are feeling stressed or depressed, hopeful or strong, go take a look at the many books on your shelves. Find the one that speaks to you now and pick it up. Chances are it will be just what you need.

There are many spirit minded teachers offering online classes, meditations and even yoga! Find what is calling to you now, connect and embrace it. Share!

We are not alone! We have many helpers and resources, but we have to be the ones to first look up, reach out and ask for more. That is our free will.

Once we Acknowledge these helpers - be they books, teachers, family members, friends, tarot cards, power animals, angels, guides, ancestors - we can access their knowledge.

Acknowledge = Access Knowledge.

The other message from my reading this morning was about Hummingbird, who draws energy from the nectars of Life. His ability to fly backwards allows him to tap into happy memories from his past. A powerful reflection for us all right now - are we stuck in the clouds of doubt and confusion or do we look to the Sun for Healing energy, EnLightenment, Renewal and Joy.

"The Light you crave is ready to return; it's time to let go and enjoy yourself." (**)

~*~

After my reading, I watched an enlightening, potent 10 minute video that I share below, which talks about what happens on cellular level when we feel stress, from a very scientific point of view. If all this resonates, please watch and share! Truly, we are the only drivers in these earthly vehicles who get to choose which direction we shall go.

Journey on and keep Shining your Light!

Wado!

Aho!

Truth ~ Freedom ~ Health

The truth is out there!

I just watched this 34 min video and something about it just resonated so I am sharing on my web page - which is not something I typically do!

If you are searching for TRUTH amidst all of the confusing news and these very challenging times, it helps to remember what they say - TRUTH may very well be STRANGER than FICTION...

I had not even heard of Dr. Shiva until this morning (April 11, 2020) and since I feel THIS is the year of Perfect Vision (2020) - I share for others to watch (see) as an alternate view of what could very well be happening around us right now.

Dr. Shiva is also running for Massachusetts Senate, so Please Share if this speaks to you and THANK YOU for continuing to Share your Kindnesses and Shine your Light to All Our Relations and our Planet Earth right now -

May we all be Free from Suffering as we move through this together - it shall pass.

Aho.

Dance in your Cave

Greetings all ~

I hope this finds everyone doing well and enjoying a renewed look inside their cave! Surely this too shall pass and in the meantime, the gifts that present are being in the moment, closer to our families and loved ones, whether in spirit or in the sacred space of our homes. Our connections are strengthening!

I recently spent a few days on the mountain, and Bears message was clear - so I share this with you now...

Tonight (3/19) I invite everyone to join me and BEAR to "Dance in your cave".

Since time is really an illusion, all time is no time - begin when it feels right to you.

-Set aside some time by yourself (or with others)

-Simply clear your space, either by smudging or setting intentions

-Connect with your higher self, angels, guides, power animals, ancestors etc...

-Envision the situation taking place on Mother Earth

-Offer Gratitude for the healings of those affected/infected and safe harbors for us all

-Go deep within and call out your Higher Self to Send whatever Love, Light, Healing that you may offer

-Send to the Highest Good of the situation! The higher vibrations already know (more than us) what to do

- Drum!

-Sing!

-Dance!

-Dance your Power Animal!

-Pray!

You might visualize holding the earth or that pretty red image of the corona virus itself in your hands.

- Hold this space as long as feels right to you, when finished offer Gratitude once again and disconnect.

~*~

Spring is in the air and the seeds we plant now are the ones taking root. We are what we think!

BEAR says be patient, stay strong, stay in the cave and remember - YOU have the individual strength and power to affect change. In reality we are being distanced from each other yet the synchronicity is, we are more connected than ever. What affects one affects all. Tap in and feel our connectiveness from the mountains, to the prairies, to the oceans and rivers and back.

As we join collectively in sending our Love and Light to our world, the strength of this healing energy is magnified.

2020 - Year of Perfect Vision. Look beyond the distractions and Dream these Higher Harmonies into being.

"We ARE the ones we've been waiting for" - it's time.

Aho!

...

Much Love, Big Bear Hugs and Many Blessings to All~!

2020 - Perfect Vision

When this new year first rolled around, I couldn't help but think about 2020 referencing "perfect vision"...

Something to ponder this year, what exactly does perfect vision mean??

Is it about seeing clearly without any help from eye glasses, teachers, friends or family?

It begs the question if we see things clearly at all?

Do you ever ask yourself if what you see in the 3D world as we know it is actually even real or is it an illusion?

I have personally taken myself to the task of seeing more clearly this year...and the funny thing is I have 3 pairs of reading glasses and in the first 2 months of 2020 I broke all 3! What does that tell me??

Perhaps this is the year to take the proverbial glasses off (or to finally put them on)...

It is the only year we will ever experience that points to perfect vision.

Let 2020 be your year for Perfect Vision - whether it's seeing yourself thru another's eyes or just looking more closely at life around you, perhaps discerning truth from illusion....

They say the reason we need spiritual teachers is because the eye cannot see itself; it needs a reflection.

There are many powerful reflections in our teachers, and many of our teachers exist in nature as well.

So go deeply into the thoughts surrounding Your Vision this year - and who knows? What you see may very well be the version of you that you've been searching for - and all you had to do was take a deeper look....

Aho~!

Excerpted from Divine Cosmos/David Wilcock

https://divinecosmos.com/

“THE ENERGETIC TRANSFORMATION OF OUR ENTIRE SOLAR SYSTEM is now underway, and we are already feeling the effects.”

The cornerstone of the world's major religious teachings, including Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Buddhism and Hinduism have all been telling us for thousands of years about the ancient prophecy of Ascension.

Could this be what is happening now, right here on Earth??

Our everyday, waking awareness may suddenly have elements that are similar to a psychedelic, non-ordinary experience - we will need to learn to adapt to this! "Acknowledging" that is may be true, is the first step to "accessing" that "knowledge" ...

The Law of One makes it very clear that this graduation to Ascension is not automatic. You have to earn it by being a good person.

This literally translates as being at least fifty-one percent focused on "service to others," meaning that you are a loving, forgiving and compassionate soul. At your core, you simply have to be more loving than not.

It is time to put this practice of compassion to work in your own life, starting now.

Cosmic Dreamtime

As 2017 fades from memory, the Year of the Rooster asks if anything has woken up for you??

The sands of time continue to shift; struggles arise when you try to hold on to those things no longer supporting your highest good.

Words of wisdom are being shared from many directions -

"We are at the beginning of the "Great Awakening" that will lead to our very own Consciousness Renaissance. We have reached the point where we have decide to get off of our knees and become our own saviors" (Tear-Eir courtesy of Corey Goode)

"The spiritual wisdom we need now is not an individual guru, but a sangha or activated, collective, spiritual community. We must develop these interconnected communities, capable of holding the spiritual capacity to meet life's challenges" (Sarah Kerr/Soul Passages)

And the Hopi Elders who continue to remind: "WE are the ones we've been waiting for"

The wait time is over; stand up and be counted!

Reach! Stretch! Believe!! To truly transform any negative thoughts into positive ones, we must create a new point of reference. Cut those old cords, open your heart and share, shine only loving thoughts.

Act as if and Give Thanks.

For the soles of our "human" shoes have long worn out.

Now is the time for the Souls of our Spirit Shoes to wake up the Wisdom Walker that you were sent here to be.

Because we ARE the ones...

Aho~!

September 2017

Be still and go within

Look around you each and every moment and discern what is next from this place

Time no longer serves nor supports any old patterns and/or behaviors

The winds of change are blowing big!

Now is the time to ponder your higher self/highest good

Wait no more ... you have arrived

It is time to step deeply now, into your own cosmic footprint

Aho~!

SPRING

"Somewhere a black bear

has just risen from sleep

and is staring down the mountain.

All night in the brisk and shallow restlessness

of early spring I think of her,

her four black fists flicking the gravel,

her tongue like a red fire

touching the grass, the cold water.

There is only one question:

how to love this world.

I think of her

rising like a black and leafy ledge

to sharpen her claws against the silence of the trees.

Whatever else my life is

with its poems and its music

and its glass cities,

it is also this dazzling darkness

coming down the mountain,

breathing and tasting;

all day I think of her—

her white teeth,

her wordlessness,

her perfect love.”
