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 is a beneficial day to "go to water", a pond, lake or beach 'wash away' or cleanse that which needs to go. 

Or to have a Fire Ceremony to release and transmute the energies around you.

Or to drum and or rattle to break up the stagnant energies surrounding you and to reset your inner being by 'shaking' up those cells and spaces in between the cells.

Or to Journey!!

A very potent time to activate new intentions. Follow your intuition. Connect 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?  

We must take time to come unplugged and nurture our own mind, body and spirit  It doesn't matter where you begin, only that you do...

.......

These words from "Dreaming the Future; Re-imagining Civilization in the Age of Nature" by Ken Ausubel (2012) still have relevance today...

"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 season of spring sits in the East position on the Medicine Wheel; the place where we welcome the energies of dawn, new beginnings, new life…

The power of the East is the power of Light, the power of Enlightenment. As the earth wakes up from her long winter slumber, so too must we awake from any illusions that have previously blocked our view. Now is the time to stand up and speak your truth, seeding only those thoughts and words that will harmonize your experience of mind, body and spirit. We truly are what we think! Cut the cords to the past and take forward only that which you like, leaving the rest behind.

Spring brings with it a new season of hope, growth and beginnings. Create more sacred space in your life, come unplugged for at least a little while. Sit in nature and take some time to re-plant your intentions. What do you wish to grow this year, both literally and spiritually? A power full time of year to ask yourself "who am I" "what did I come here to do" and "what am I waiting for!"

~*~

The color red typically holds this place on the Medicine Wheel and always reminds me of the deep earthen clay roots of our ancestors; that primal energy, initial stirrings of our own very existence. As we ponder the roots growing in our backyard, it's also a good time to reconnect with our ancestral history. Doing some genealogical research this spring is a great way to connect with our own earthen roots!

The sky is truly the limit in spring so why not go big and plant more gardens this year. Mother Earth beckons us to plant with love and good clean energy, not chemicals and poisons! Let your neighbors and the makers of Roundup pesticides know that WE DO NOT CONSENT to these chemicals that are poisoning our foods, our bodies, our birds and bees, our children and our future. If the bees and plants all die, we will too.

Call on and learn from your many teachers this spring. Look for the new and see hope for all people. Believe in the unseen! Now more than ever is the time to trust in your own vision and look beyond the veils of deception and distraction. Remember who you are and who you came here to be! Spring into action this month and activate something new for yourself. Choose Faith over Fear. Laugh More. It truly is a time to stretch and grow for all of us. After all, "WE are the ones we've been waiting for" say the Hopi Elders. Aho!

“Gardeners instinctively know that flowers and plants are a continuum and that the wheel of garden history will always be coming full circle.”

~ Francis Cabot Lowell

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.

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....

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.

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

Medicine BEAR Woman

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.

 <3

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~!

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.

Lots of Cosmic activity in the Universe these days....Retrograde planets, Eclipse energies, Solstice energies....

I've decided to share a few links that I pay attention to, it's much easier than writing things out! 

Whatever your practice, from this day on, please Keep shining your Light and sharing random acts of kindness - hold your Sacred Space and take time to re-store your mind, body, spirit and cupboards!   Go even deeper into your spiritual practices.  And lets all Dream our highest Dreams out loud - remembering, that we Are what we Think.  Practice smudging and clearing all negative, low vibrational energies from your energy field and seek higher wisdom in some way, shape or form each day.

And most of all, Have some Fun!!  It's summer time.   Enjoy.

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:

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??)

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.

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.

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~!

"Remember who you came here to be"

"Seek assistance from those of higher vibration if need be"

“Mother Earth is shape-shifting; allow old worldly ways to die gracefully around us”

"The seeds of change have been planted...time now to wake up and engage in this new growth process"

“Your task has never changed;

Your assistance in this planetary change is critical”

"Become the living expression of your Spirit"

“Remember: You are what you think; whatever you put your attention on increases”
