Frog Hops into the Spring Mix

Posted on by under Consciousness, Native American, Shamanism, Uncategorized

Frog is a natural spring cleaning, in yin feng shui fashion . . .
Time to clear away residual cobwebs from the ghost town of winter’s dirge

Do you remember the voices of yesteryear?
What do those peeps tweet to you about today’s relationships?

May the rains come to purify our souls . . .
Let old, stuck energies go with the flow
to a place where deep roots grow

Frog is an internal martial artist that releases
any energies that might be causing you emotional negativity

What needs to be released from your psyche?
Frog facilitates the development of healthy boundaries

They are magical connections to elemental forces of water and land
The pouring rains are the touring bands

Lunar energies of abundance and fertility will peak,
on a Full Flower Moon in a couple of weeks

Change is in the air . . .

Bring the noise through water and sound
Creativity abounds!

Does stress got you feeling depleted?

Be mindful of your breath
Stop, hit the pause button and think twice before you act

See you up the trails,

Ari

Woodpecker Guides Us into the Widsom of the Trees

Posted on by under Consciousness, Native American, Shamanism, Uncategorized

Woodpecker’s drumming awakens visions of Mother Earth’s
changing heartbeat, energetic pulsing and weather forecast

And yet Friday’s Pink Full Moon remembers our shared blessing of Buddha’s Light
that paved the way for Christ’s Love

Love, Light and Laughter are good medicine ladies and gentlemen

Woodpecker’s spirited teachings help us drill into deeper
soulful exploration in other realms, dimensions, new vistas and novel experiences

A New Age of Aquarius is getting closer . . .

You can go your own way by marching to the beat of your own drum

Stillness speaks to us in a way that lights up our right brains
Here we transform into Homo Luminosity
Literally walking in a Heaven we can see during our Earthwalk

Wake up expecting synchronicity and yet paradoxically let go of expectations . . .

Step up to inner peace by walking in the present moment and
accepting the Now for what it is

Sometimes, you have to face your fears head on and then realize that it is
really more frightening to avoid our fears than it is to lean into them

It’s been three years since the tragic terrors in Boston
exploded in our consciousness . . .

But there have been many terrorist acts there and elsewhere,
before the city was known as Beantown

We should learn from our experiences with fear and acting out violently that
these old dramas only recycle wasted energy and subsequently stagnate growth

But then again, it is Spring and Yang is expressive in His outward growth
May we redefine masculinity by softening Him with a gentle, yet powerful
showering of a feminine Yin energetic cleansing

Let us remember Prince’s inner light was tall in stature
but not confuse his celebrity, ability to push the cultural envelope and talents
to sing and dance, nor applause culture as a true remedy for pain

Like all deaths, his passing gives us permission to grieve with sadness in our hearts

The arts, music and sports are really just games to be playfully experienced –
Regardless of outcome or who wins . . .

May we learn new ways of evolving into a more fair and just society
where empathy and compassion are our politics of Being . . .

May we hit the pause button when it comes to profit-driven over working
at the expense of the players and performing artists who entertain and distract us

There are no enemies . . .
Compete with your opponent but send them love to lighten up the match!

Till the next trail head junction,

Ari

Colorful Vision Rises with Turkey Vulture

Posted on by under Native American, Shamanism, Uncategorized

Turkey Vulture flies in the skies this week,
in concert with a blossoming Full Pink Moon on Friday . . .

Spring is here in the Northern Hemisphere
and a colorful world is blossoming before our eyes

Psychically hang glide with Mother Earth’s thermals with minimal effort . . .

This signals an opportune time for a general
Spring Cleaning through the Moon’s last quarter

Purification, death-rebirth, new vision and connections to a
marital relationship with Heaven and Earth is awakening

Take in a living breath of oneness . . .
Exhale the dead air of segregationist thinking

Outward expansion of Yang’s expressiveness
Gives rise to powerful intuitive feminine song bird vocals

The resourceful ways of Turkey Vultures reflects
renewable energy and a natural conservation of our environment

May the political and business interests reflect the wisdom of Turkey Vulture!

Their medicine of disease prevention is best practice

Meditate on levitating above the physical laws of the material realm
So that we can release old ways that no longer serve

Walk in alignment with your own roots sinking into Mother Earth
Let any negative energies flow down into Her for renewable compost

Connect with ancestors whom have passed on . . .

May their spirits guide us into a unified playing field
reflecting a Heaven and Earth connection that we can see
with individual and collective eyes

A flooding of emotional memories from when they were living comes on like waves
Picture surfing them to gain a deeper appreciation for the living moment

Till next week takes flight,

Ari

Remembering Old Mother Goose

Posted on by under Native American, Shamanism, Uncategorized

A powerful Aries New Moon shot through our skies last week
These energies can help us stay on target as we traverse through the
fiery energetic aftershocks of Spring Eclipse season

Here on the ground Goose signifies an opportune time for new beginnings
The impetus for breathing out the old grows with
breathing in the rising Light in the air

Time to breathe in fresh new approaches to
harmonize with each other and our environment

Use the energies of Goose to align with the spirit of a new season

Take a look back in the rearview mirror and imagine a road less traveled ahead

Geese reflect the possibilities of healthy egalitarian soul to soul connections
They are good role models for high fidelity in couple partnerships

Let go of codependent, tit for tat entanglements with form
As identification with ego-driven desires relax, spiritual power grows

Life is a spiritual quest . . .
Remember the ancestral wisdom that reminds us that a journey of a thousand miles
always started with a single step

Let Goose guide you into a legendary sense of adventure during your travels here

A healthy relationship to yourself first is based on a mutual and trusting
intermarriage between your Divine masculine and feminine selves

Goose awakens creative forces of purification, renewal and intimacy
as you co-author your Life story with your Higher authentic Self

What unchartered places in your consciousness want to awaken to self-discovery?

Geese serve as inspiration to explore a vegetarian diet
This is good food for healthy soulful digestion

Flying in a V formation utilizes maximum energy
where every bird takes its turn at egalitarian propulsion

A wise old adage of what is good for the goose is good for the gander is personified

A seductive vote for Donald Trump, behind the smokescreen,
simply reveals a greedy silver spoon rebel without a cause
Whilst in reality, a vote for him is a vote for more oppression by the Empire
vilifying the poor and oppressed is not being pro-American

A vote for Hillery Clinton is new on the surface,
in the sense that America would give birth to Her first woman as President,
an elderly minority of the opulent White woman of course . . .

And then there is Bernie Sanders running on the political playing field
Ever humble, modest and honest, though a minority candidate that comes
from lower middle class Jewish heritage
Did you know that back in the 90’s, powerful feminist
Gloria Steinem coined Sanders an “honorary woman”

There is a rising climate of consciousness on our Planet today that
wants to level the playing field through a motivation
for all of us to live, work and play together in a socially democratic fashion

But we are living in divisive times today . . .
Like Yin and Yang, order and chaos are mixing it up

Today’s violence reminds us of our need to step up to peace
Be part of the solution by loving yourself and one another

It is imperative to heal our illusion of us and them
May we let go of a dying old elitist world mentality that glamorize angels and demons

Remember that out of the ashes,
a Phoenix Rising is born anew

See your further on up the trails,

Ari

Catching and Releasing Judgments with Pelican’s Guidance

Posted on by under Native American, Shamanism, Uncategorized

Pelican flies into our daily meditations

We are guided into the realm of forgiveness and
releasing judgments that we hold toward others and often ourselves

Our judgments can be incessant like a chattering monkey
They carry a charge and have a tendency to target others

In this space, viewing the perceived transgressions of someone else
looks like a separate entity from our own identity

It’s easy to search, find and target blame here . . .

But for now we have a spiritual opportunity here to take a
closer look at the unexamined shadow side of our own souls
to see our own reflection

Might as well go deep into your heart and find forgiveness
Dig deep to release your judgments to the Universe to
transmute them into the Light

Yang is rising now until He peaks on the Summer Solstice
in the Northern Hemisphere

Yin gains momentum in the Southern Hemisphere
where She shrouds Yang

Nature reveals that everything is transitory, fleeting and ephemeral

What looks like a curse might very well be a blessing in disguise
It just doesn’t seem like that right now from a place of judgment

When we hold on to our judgments,
We become blocked from cleaner flowing energetic waters

Pelicans are good role models for balancing competition and cooperation
They know when to catch and release fish

Meditation on forgiveness awakens the reality of inner peace
Our souls become lighter and more buoyant

Do whatever you can to let your judgements go
and allow your blossoming spiritual power to grow

Wall Street candidates Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are
Imperial front-runner politicians advancing their
political careers in a well-oiled machine

Ask yourself who would the Klan vote for?
Then simply vote for someone else in good standing with the poor and oppressed

Look at social democratic challenger Bernie Sanders stoking the embers
of the will of the people by simply calling for our
constitutional right to promote our society’s general welfare . . .

With all these new beginnings and changing tides, a New Moon must be in the air

See you up the trails,

Ari

Cheerful Expressions of New Spring Songs with Chickadee

Posted on by under Consciousness, Native American, Shamanism, Uncategorized

Chickadees are fearless peaceful warriors . . .

They are effective spirit guides to have during
the waning intensities of last week’s Full Moon
and offer a more cheerful passage through a passing Spring Eclipse Season

When crows and vultures descend . . .
These tiny birds stand undaunted in their own personal power

Chickadees are small in physical stature
But they are symbolic of our own boundless power of spirit

We all should have the right to express our voice without oppression . . .
Learned helplessness is harder to internalize in a more
socially just and fair global community

We are spiritual beings having human experiences
More of us are waking up to this reality
and there is power in our growing numbers and flowering consciousness . . .

Chickadees sing cheerful songs of Truth . . .
May their energy elevate a personal resurrection burning brighter light in our souls
through passionate expression of Christ Consciousness within and without

Their black caps symbolizes intellect and higher level thinking . . .

We are a diversified and unified portfolio here on Earth
Let us welcome abundance to the possibility of equal access to resources
Divergent expressions of Great Spirit is who we really are

Remember the conflict of duality is healed through
the lens of our upper chakras

When we look through a lens of equality
We honor and respect each other’s diversity in unity

Donald Trump is a reflection of a dirty rear view mirror
that our lower chakras reveal to us as informants

Don’t buy into marketed commercial that sells
the jingle that projects a white privileged-centric
“we’re going make America great again”

That’s just code for demonizing Muslims, Arabs, Immigrants, the poor, oppressed
and other outsiders that don’t fit the mold of the opulent minority

This Aquarian land was made for you and me!

On the surface, energies are intensifying . . .
Suicide bombs have gone off and innocent people are dying
There is tragedy in the air!

Time for the Billionaire class to pay their fair share
Instead of greedily concentrating more wealth
to those that already have more than enough

But on a deeper level, we are moving into blossoming new beginnings . . .

Nature is leveling the playing field

Violence is waking us up

Bernie Sanders is part of a movement in alignment with a
forthcoming Aquarian Age

Contrary to what the corporate media wants you to believe,
he is an electable candidate . . .

We can stop the violence of voting for the lesser of two evils
and against our own best interests . . .

Remember that change, like the seasons is a process . . .
It is more about an unfolding transition than a fixed time and space

May Chickadee elevate our spirits to rise above and get off the couch
Let us free ourselves from the mental slavery of business as usual politics

The time is now for new economies built on a foundations of authenticity and trust
Clean love and clean care is renewable energy for all to share

Please envision with me as smooth of a transition as possible into new times . . .

Robin Raps Powerful Spring Lyrics of Rising Light, While the Base of Winter’s Darkness Fades to Black

Posted on by under Native American, Shamanism, Uncategorized

A March Full Worm Moon waxes now until shortly after Spring Equinox
Robins abound as early birds get the worms

The seasons are changing . . .

Lao Tzu blows in with the wind echoing that “Nature is the best physician”

There are rotting logs, stagnant waters and familiar terrains
that leave us feeling secure and stable

It’s so easy to get stuck in the blues of muddy waters

But you can also leap onto a different Lily Pad and
a new reality might appear out of the thicket

Like the Equinox in Fall,
Light and Dark energies are on equal ground

It is natural to see equanimity play out in Nature
with masculine and feminine energies commingling
with the flitting of order and chaos

Can you hear the new winds chimes of freedom blowing in the wind?

But the anchored in old hooks of the Empire don’t want
to let go and relax their firm grip

Look at Donald Trump greedily grab and gobble up Big Money
Wait a moment and you will see Hillary Clinton at a Super Pac pep rally
program designed to keep the Billionaire Class in charge

Doesn’t this sound like a repeat performance at the Club folks?

Blazing new trails from that dying old world
is an Aquarian consciousness Bernie Sanders,
aligned with the power to the people movement

The buds of the disenfranchised are growing in numbers
We need to hear the spring in their voices without losing our minds to madness!

Stop doing the same thing over and over
with an expectation that something different will take place

Exhale your old habitual mental tapes and breathe in a mantra of oneness and
universal interconnectedness with everyone and everything

We have become comfortable with the status quo and
addicted to our old ways of doing business on Planet Earth

Band aid life support systems are losing their stick

What new flowers want to grow into your consciousness?

May creativity come blazing in to express their energies in your direction
through the eyes of positive interpretations and silver linings!

See you up the trails,

A Self Protective Shell with Turtle Provides Safe Haven as a Spirit Guide

Posted on by under Native American, Shamanism, Uncategorized

Now more than ever may we become quiet enough to heed Turtle’s wisdom
Remember that stillness speaks through the sound of silence

These are the days of diving into the depth of our inner seas
Because we are all globally swimming in perceived divisive waters of polarity

But underground forces know there is oneness and unity

Turtle is a good reminder to be patient, gentle and kind to yourself
during this process of evolutionary growth that is not without its growing pains

Light and Dark energies will be on equal ground on Spring Equinox
Tis the season to heal polarity in the collective waters of consciousness

In this Chinese Year of the Monkey . . .

Might as well use the rising intensities to invigorate your committment
to relax your own chattering monkey mind

A hurry up offense is a popular way to live on Earth today . . .

Batter up, strike out and who’s on first?
The thoughts and emotional reactions to those thoughts can be incessant

The stories and monkey mind chatter can come on fast and furious
like a perfect storm even

Envisioning a light-hearted, playful and even childlike sense of humor of Self
enhances the ability to see the interplay
between wisdom and folly as comedic theater

Are you hating that person with political beliefs divergent from yours?
It’s just a reflection of leaving behind old shores,
while moving into new lands of thought

Please consider heeding the experiential wisdom of Ram Das
to just learn to love everybody and everything

The wind and the rain have a way of washing things out
Cleaning up with consistent exercise and eating energetically grounding foods
moves things around with the good stink of healthy fertilizer for those in our wake

Mother Earth’s ancient wisdom is to stay low like the depths of the ocean

Is it time to retreat into a protective bubble and shield yourself
from the worries of the world of 10,000 things?

Or do you need to come out of your shell and socialize more frequently?

The tides of climate change are shifting and gaining momentum . . .

Like the transition from Winter to Spring

The weather underground is budding with new growth
As your buried ideas surface from their dark Winter’s slumber

They are waking up and wanting to spring into action
In the sunlight of Spring Eclipse season

Keep your wits by recognizing that order and chaos are dancing together
Just as light and dark forces moving with one another

We are here to sit with tension of opposites
and make friends with the conflict of duality

Do what ever you can to slow down and observe the moments as they spring up
Try to do this without judgment and learn to be with what is

Meditation on Turtle will help you cultivate energy gradually like the power of water

A Full Worm Moon arrives on Hump Day after Spring Equinox
Symbolic of a new season and the early bird getting the worm

Into the Sea of Consciousness with Gull

Posted on by under Consciousness, Native American, Shamanism

Sea Gull guides us into new horizons with a New Moon this week . . .

Subtleties of communication teach us to read between the lines
Between land and sea, we hear the mystical vibrations of shorelines

Seagulls remind us that reality has both surface and depth

In their natural habitat, Herrings personify these transitional tides –
Symbolic of land and air within multidimensional realities

The reason the conflict of duality exists –
Is that there is tension of opposites . . .

When seen through our lower chakras –
We see a dirty view of doom and gloom

And there is a reality to that perception

But when perceived through the eyes of the upper chakras –
We see a Oneness and cosmic connection to All That Is

May we collectively see one another, our planet
and beyond from that vantage point . . .

Standing in the space of inner peace we can experience
Expanded consciousness in the Universe throughout

Just say fairly well to a dying old world
Grease your gears by fluidly shifting into the birth of a New Earth

“Let go and let God” . . .

Now is the time to embrace the living moment

Open your hearts and minds to the budding magic, mystery and synchronicity
They want to express themselves to you in the form of unfolding Divinity

Body language is the psychology of communication

May Herring Medicine inspire consuming an ecologically healthy diet
Because we are what we eat

Leaning into our feelings is an intimate soulful dance-step
Yielding to a most sweet and satisfying surrender of vulnerability

See you up the trails,

Ari

Otter’s Business is Her Pleasure

Posted on by under Native American, Shamanism, Uncategorized

Otters are outgoing, playful and devoted to their families
Organized, constructive and skillful managers are they

You could say their business is pleasure
as they seem to make this attitude work in their favor

Feminine energy is both grounding like the Earth and powerful like Water

On this Valentine’s Day and everyday
Love the woman in you and embrace her nurturing on your soul

Redefine masculinity by tapping into creative mothering energetics
with soft imaginative faculties

Though a Full Snow Moon arrives later this month
The subtleties of Spring are stirring now

Hard to believe alignment of masculine and feminine energies are coming together
on Spring Equinox barely over a month away

Given this frigid cold right Tao in Northern New England
paradoxically, the intensities of Light heat up everyday

Like changing seasons, shifting tides require us to
ride the waves of cleansing and purification

The time is now to heal our polarity . . .

It is natural to fear the unknown of that which is mysterious

Why do you think so many women were accused of being
witches and burned at the stake?

At what cost do we “make America great again?”
Sounds like the justification for genocide is getting louder on the airwaves folks

But on the flip side of the coin . . .
There’s a polar shift drifting toward activist love that’s got people feeling saintly
or at least perhaps moving toward our better angels in humanity . . .

Do you need to have more fun?
Do you need to let your worries roll off you back?

May Otter reawaken your sense of wonder and an opening up to new experiences
So that you can go with the natural flow of life and let your inner child shine on
instead of pushing against the river and fighting the current

See the good in yourself and everyone else without preconceptions or suspicions
Use mental martial arts to create an envy, jealousy and a catty free zone . . .

What we are talking about is cultivating soul sisterhood with each other –
It’s hard to demonize or have enemies in this space

Come from a place of authenticity and trust in your everyday business
Meditate on letting go of attachments to material world things

Remember that clinging to the pleasures of the physical senses
is a recipe for feeling a grave sense of recycled disappointed!

Ari
