Hi folks,
It is a blessing to have completed my first public interview recently. Here is the link to access this interview if you feel so moved:
I will be taking a little time off from my weekly postings. However, my weekly writings will continue sometime later this month.
Wishing you all much inner peace!
Ari
A New Moon is coming
Signaling new beginnings like new moons do
Squirrels reflect lots of yang-oriented active activity
Their energies are intensified by peaking sunlight that is
now making a slow downhill descent
Our friends in the Southern Hemisphere are celebrating a resurrection of light
after their darkest day of the year on their Winter Solstice
We are reminded to use what we need and prepare for in times where fewer
resources are available as we travel further into
natural seasons of darker scarcity
Won’t be too long before light and dark energies
are equal again on Autumn Equinox in September
But for now we are reminded to learn to balance work and play
Summer is a good opportunity to become more festive and socially engaged
What about the UK pulling out of the European Union?
Doesn’t this latest episode synchronize with the reflection that big waves of change
are crashing in as we sail closer toward the new shores an Aquarian Age?
Old hoarding ways of viewing the Earth as belonging to us
to subjugate and plunder are fading, yet not without resistance
Whilst this delayed mindset keeps humanity enslaved by making repetitive
and unconscious consumer transactions is an unsustainable life support system
Tragedies like the latest Orlando massacre and Donald Trump’s popularity
are reminding us that it takes more energy to hate than to love
What will a more equitable economic structure supporting The Many look like?
We can say with confidence that promoting the general welfare for the Goose
and the Gander facilitates an awakening of our souls to the
Light of Unity Consciousness
See you further on up the trails,
Ari

Chickadees speak the truth in ways that are gentle and soft . . .
Their energy can help you authentically speak your truth without passive aggression
or other subtle acts of violence
And they can also help you become mindful of your communicative delivery
Some say that the truth hurts
But it doesn’t have to be that be that way!
Perhaps you are pondering whether or not to vote
for the Donald or Hillary in this upcoming American political election
Remember when Hitler perceived America as
having a greater harness on propaganda than Nazi Germany?
Has a big corporation like IBM followed through with reparations from
a genocidal arrangement against primarily Jews to target and dehumanize
the rising tide of right-wing scapegoats today?
And what about all the “right-sizing” big business does to justify laser-like precision
in cutting costs by outsourcing workers to justify cheap labor somewhere else?
Regardless of outcome, it is wise to prepare for the strong possibility that a bigoted
man of silver spoon white privilege will become president yet again . . .
Or arguably even more likely, we will have our first woman take office
Like her or not, that is progress here in America
where still most of our politicians and presidents are old, white men
Synchronizing with a passing new moon,
we need to talk about and entertain new
possibilities in our collective consciousness
Economic strangulation and domestic violence –
primarily against woman, black folks, people of color
and the poor and oppressed needs to stop!
Chickadees are fearless peaceful warriors
“If you see something, say something”
Let go of your fears that a half white black person, woman president,
or an honest candidate like Bernie Sanders can’t win or will be killed if elected
Picture the authentic will of the people’s appreciation over the interest of big money
Remember to stand in your own personal authority!
The black caps of chickadee symbolizes intellect and higher level thinking
There is such primordial power in blackness
Imagine ourselves as a diversified and unified portfolio –
Sharing equal slices of humble pie . . .
We are divergent expressions of Great Spirit
When we look through a lens of equality,
we honor and respect each other’s diversity in unity
In today’s overemphasis on a marketed-sex driven world-view . . .
Human sexuality is as complex as it ever was
But it is a systemic and holistic issue that is symbolic
of our modern world’s libido-centric malaise
Intimacy is a personal issue that projects itself outward
And so it is that masculine-yang desires to express itself
in the rising sunlight of the Northern hemisphere
Just because you are not in the mood to make love
does not mean that you will not enjoy the fruits of your labor
Consider allowing yourself the viewpoint that it would be
healthy to see your follow through in this area to be a private victory
rather than a personal-relational duty and sacrifice
See you further on up the trails,
Ari

Thank you to all of you who have supported the energy of this blog.
It has been a process, and I could not have done it without
your encouragement and co-creation.
In fact, this forum has inspired the recent publication of my first book,
accompanied by my Aunt Barbara’s beautiful animal pictures.
And I would like to thank my wife Kristen, for her Earth. I deeply appreciate her grounding force in my life!

As such, I have chosen to take a break from this week’s posting to
allow us to sit with and celebrate the arrival of this walking meditation.
In the meantime, I look forward to seeing you up the trail head next week with new material,
Ari
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
I am looking forward to the forthcoming arrival of my first professionally published book, Something to Chew On: Digesting Healthy Spiritual Food for the Soul in the Calendar Year Ahead. I will keep you posted regarding when it will be released to the public. This book is a collaboration of my writing and my Aunt Barbara’s artwork. I have confident faith that it will be a helpful trail guide along the path of walking meditation.
Blue Heron swoops in this week . . .
Beltane’s arrival signals the mid-point between Spring Equinox and Summer Solstice
A New Moon comes later this week as Yang rises
Heron is a conservative tribe that inspires
aggressive self-determination and self-reliance . . .
These powerful birds tend to view themselves as king of the marsh
Their long legs remind us of our deep connection with Mother Earth
Like the roots of a wise old tree, they reflect standing firmly in the ground
We need our legs to be securely anchored in Nature’s shifting tides
so that we do not drown in Her undertow
May the Force Awaken when you breathe in through the top of your head
Let your Chi flow downward, draining from the soles of your feet
Feel your energy flow while sinking into the ground . . .
Know how to stand on your own two legs
Your intuition will tell you when to stick your neck out and snatch opportunities
But for now, just relax and allow things to happen organically
When situational factors call for a change in your game plan,
Meditation on Heron awakens the ability to readjust our perspective
Instead of needing to “figure it all out”, paralyzed by the minutia of problems
Trust the flow of the Universe to provide novel solutions to present themselves when the time is right
See you up the trails,
Ari

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

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
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
I am pleased to announced the forthcoming arrival of my first published book. I will
keep you posted when it is released to the public. It is a collaboration of
my writing and my Aunt Barbara’s artwork.
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 . . .
See you up the trails,
Ari
