Wise Guidance Councel from Wolf

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

When I think of wolves, I remember stories of two wolves
always fighting with each other in every human head and heart . . .

If we are awake, the doors of perception are cleansed to see
the conflict of duality, and the reality of paradox . . .

This reality has come to the surface on the consciousness of our planet today
It is sobering for those that have been asleep, and it can be painful to stomach

Wolf government reflects neither a pure dictatorship or democracy
Do you see this division playing out in our world today?

Yes, there are Red States, and there’s Blue states
But Wolf teaches us about balance

We are all connected!

We have to transform the masculine, yang rising light of
the Military-Industrial Complex . . .

That’s where the highest concentration of welfare goes

Many souls have left around this time of year, and we witness many tragedies
in our everyday worldly experiences, often horrific, and so painful to watch

But Meditation on Wolf brings about a positive interpretation and silver lining
that lights up the horizon . . .

Like one of the strengths of the old world, could  you “suck it up”,
and see the beauty within and without?

Can you examine what lies beneath your anger, and explore your inner space
beyond cynicism, complaints and sarcasms?

Part of the purification of Channel Now is to let go and release our old wounds . . .

Looking through the perceptual lens of letting go and release
does take a deeper responsibility . . .

As collective souls, we chose to come here to become mortal and learn . . .
For many of us, these lessons have come from the old school of hard knox

But many have only forgotten . . .

It is easy to forget a positive outlook when things
don’t feel good or go our way . . .

Simple it is to dismiss another person or
divergent viewpoint rather than examine what
wisdom might light my way in any unwelcome reflections
mirroring back into our field of vision . . .

On the surface, there is maddening and crazy voices that want to angrily rip
everything in our paths to tiny pieces

But then in the scuba diving into deeper waters of an inner ocean,
there is a wise wolf that is calm, yet with unshakeable power like Yoda

This is the space of stillness

Accessing Resources with Minimal Effort with Turkey Vulture

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

With Turkey Vulture, we are guided into a new world of purification and rebirth
We are moving into darker days, as reflected in our inner and outer worlds

Spread your wings like an angel to lift your energy field
to see above the treeline and see a silver lining

Let your fiery passions be quenched by the waters of compassionate patience

Many folks are grieving Turtle’s pace of social change,
while feeling that they are swimming against
a current that feels against progress

We want a better world than the hellish nightmare we hold in
our minds and hearts

A New World where our colorful diversity is celebrated
in the love and light of unity

It is true we did not start the fire
But as Rome burns, let us tune in to the key of inner peace

Our living planet needs to access more inner peace today

Let our population lighten up to the possibility of terrestrial,
foreign-born, alien brothers and sisters coexisting in harmony

But you can become part of the solution by relaxing your worries,
and replacing them with positive self talk

Now you might demonize various targets that you
perceive are surrounded by minions

Perhaps you might view darker forces that you view as the cause of
the malaise of our modern world

But empathy in action sees the pain beneath the veil of furrowed brows
Just as wise indigenous shamans saw beyond the smokescreen of
justified colonialism

Conservative forces naturally want to anchor,
and reign in our world’s changing tides

Try to remember that the overwhelming majority is working toward a common
goal of co-creating a better world for our planet and all sentient beings

People are working hard enough in the day-to-day grind

Just shift the way you look at the world around you
through a perspective of self-love

Beaver

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

A Full Beaver Moon sets on Monday sheds light on a dark night

Global issue have risen to the surface so that
we can surf waves into New Age waters

Do you remember old fireside stories that inspired our ancestors that sets traps
before jack frost sets in so that we get what we need before winter shortages

But many are struggling with not getting what they
wanted during last week’s election results

Are you feeling depleted after the recent American election?
Tis the season to come down into our souls and tunnel into the dark

Remember that even in darkness, there is light and the
wisdom that you can’t fight dark forces with more dark energy

Leave it to Beaver to reflect that the action of yang,
will illuminate the shadows

The future is fluid and movement into another era
is often unpredictable and chaotic

Be part of the solution by being a calming agent of Love and Truth

Is it not interesting that the candidate that called the election rigged
won the electoral vote but not the popular vote?

Is it not curious that the media that dismissed this assertion also confidently
reassured the masses that the candidate that lost was going to win?

Either side you flip the coin, the lesser of two evils might not look like a loss
But nobody really wins in lose-lose situations

Like a beaver dam, there are multiple underwater pathways
hidden from what is visible from the ground up

Remember the iceberg metaphor . . .

Picture underground rising crystalline grids of compassion and love
growing roots deep beneath the Earth’s surface

Beavers embody super powers of industry
they never stop working or fail to sink their teeth into hard work

Yet there is a softness in their approach
They know how to harmonize with Nature’s way

Find alternative exit strategies to cocreate peaceful warrior solutions

With Owl’s Vision, We See with a Keen View

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

Owl’s night vision zeros in on shadowy
darkness shrouding our World today . . .

There are so many secrets and closeted dysfunctions
whispering along the tree lines

Termites and mouse hoardings are exposing themselves now . . .
Once lurking underground, underneath the topsoil

Grandmother Moon softens inward darker emotions
They don’t need to charge hateful bites that burden your soul

Let the internal flames of Truth and Power of Love
reflect in your outer world experience

In spite of wintry winds and cold weather to come
Remember to nurture your inner torch with love, light and laughter!

Some of our ancestors have called owls cats with wings
Because they are stealthy predators who see in the dark effectively

When racing thoughts take flight, making relaxation difficult at night . . .
Picture an Owl and send a message of sunlight to loosen your stiff neck

Old ghosts and energies are here to reawaken novel opportunities
to remember and make amends with our ancestors who have passed on

Arriving New Moon beginnings are here to help us proceed through
our daily routine with feminine softness as we turn our clocks yinward

Sometimes emotional pain might be asking us to attend to the details of
giving up hoardings of excess baggage that weighs down our collective soul

It’s OK to love yourself in a quiet way by getting some rest and
take refuge from the storms

Hanging with Bat as a Spiritual Guide

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

Bat symbolizes a metaphorical death of the old self . . .
What black roots want to take root during Winter’s coming dirge?

Planet Earth and all of Her inhabitants are going through underground
transformation – as things heat up, c’est possible to make amigos with that?

A Full Hunter’s Moon gathers a thrill of the hunt perspective
Time to adjust spiritual preparatory flight zones to weather stormy wintry mixes

Other people’s opinions are not your business
Folks will have their own perspective, so don’t make enemies or fall prey to hatred

Will the Empire’s rule by secrecy approach paradoxically expose His new clothes?

Do we want to go to World War Three with each other over our cultural differences?
How low can we go in our vibrations, not without paradoxical paranoid escalation?

Might as well let go of what dies now . . .
Because It will be reborn in Spring again

Yeah, free spirits may be born to run . . .
But we can also benefit from standing still

Today’s falling leaves sometimes color a dark attitudes about waning light . . .
Consider lifting your spirits to take flight into internal shadowy caves ahead

A personal mutable metamorphosis awakens into our collective consciousness . . .
Deeper activation of acceptance beneath skin deep superficiality is personal power!

What can you adjust inside yourself to compost stale recycled repetitive tapes
that echo a big Skunk like stink about your Being?

Meditation on personal boundaries reveals a gentle and soft approach to
standing in your own personal authority by speaking your truth respectfully

Black Crow Like Me

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

A Full Hunter’s Moon waxes on in the week ahead . . .
It’s energetic crops yield sustenance through the forthcoming wintry storms ahead

Crow calls out to the primordial magic and mystery of
life’s everyday unscripted spiritual adventure

Falling leaves reflect a dying environmental analysis of
underground roots that are parched from dehydration

Breathe in and wet Her palette with creative energies
that are wanting to express themselves by releasing boxed in thought patterns

Feminine movement tunnels into the black gold of
intuitive, unexplored dark realms

Deep pockets infiltrate our collective political climate
Just look at the Donald and Hillary’s criminal relationship with the Federal Reserve

Are you convinced that your vote must come down to a crook or a bigot?

Movement into a New Age and Paradigm casts votes for
Universal pillars of Love and Truth over the lesser of two evils!

But responding versus reacting changes the trajectory of
our individual and collective experience with reality . . .

Time to shift into mindful, intrinsic revelations of
what lies beneath internal yin-bound trains of consciousness

We are leaving behind a dying Pisces Age of gurus, heroes and savior complexes –
While moving on up into a we are all in this together mantra . . .

Time to Buck Up to Deer’s Gentle Directional Pointing Toward New Adventures

Posted on by under Uncategorized

Deer reflects a gentle and compassionate approach toward
by being lured into deeply mysterious adventures in your soul’s forest

Autumn’s foliage changes colors before eyes to see
Time to venture deeper into woods

Light fades, veils thin and the line between
spirit and material realities are bending gradually

A tear falls down my cheek as I remember those close to me
who have left this Earth, pets and other animal friends included

Sadness and grieving fill souls with death and dying as
Mother Nature’s projects a theatrical performance hinting at tragedy

Right and left hemispheres shift from center-left
Tis the season to transition into the right side of our brains

It can become a Bear to get stuck in the more bitter and
polarized conflicted dramas of the lower chakras, doom and gloom so without

Souls descend further yinward into darker and feminine
primal imaginative intuitive realms of cognition

Imagination is a grand canyon of possibilities
Notice the Dreamtime silently gaining lucidity in its visions

Isn’t it is a challenge and opportunity to find middle ground amidst
the current events of polarized times we live in today?

May Deer guide you into new adventures in your consciousness
Discover a new way to look at past relationships without fear

Her energy will help you examine with a gentle gaze and
dissolve any uncomfortable perceptions of people, places and things

Even if our world  were to flip upside down and
another planet entered into our collective orbit . . .

Relax any perceptions looked upon as spooky ghosts, monsters and demons
And call on Deer to gently let them pass with care

Bear Like Me Walks Along the Trails

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

Last week’s Full Harvest Moon and Lunar Eclipse wanes O’er the skies
Consciousness descends into dimming lights in the Northern Hemisphere

The shades of Autumn Equinox reflect balance of Masculine and Feminine

Bear medicine can help you know when to back off and when to assert yourself
Picture a Bear to stand in your own personal authority

Remember that a Yinward bound train gains momentum until Her climax
Deep into the caves of December on Winter Solstice

Boundaries are always an important opportunity for a mindful walking meditation

Darker nights symbolize a letting go of action-oriented yang
A sleepier time of the year reveals a thinning of the veils

The discrepancy between the material and spirit realm fades away

Our friends in the Southern Hemisphere will paradoxically
see more Light on their horizon
Souls are feeling more energized and intense there

Look to nature to nurture relationships within yourself and others
It is wise to move with our pain or we end up not moving at all

Rooting into the earth of our inner human potential . . .
Reflects that Life tastes as sweet as honey!

See you later on the trails,

When I think of Heaven, Deliver me in the Belly of a Red Winged Cardinal

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

Can you hear the whistle of Cardinal’s spirit blowing in the wind?
Are you feeling eclipsed by their virtuous and powerful archetypal footprint?

Mercury in Retrograde resurrects perpetually dead, albeit real call backs . . .
Our minds move away from rational, logical and linear recordings

Try not to get identified with any fixed ideas or repetitively negative mental tapes
Just examine them with an open, passive attitude and gently let them pass

A Full Moon coming soon yields a hearty seasonal Harvest . . .
What tremors will be seen, heard and felt across the fruited plains?

Feeling safe, comfortable and regulated will be challenged
But there is an opportunity for letting go and relaxing into seismic changes

Feminine yin power intensifies during the approach of the
Autumn Equinox this September

Back to school, back to business and getting organized is in the air!
But don’t let that drive you nuts . . .

A revival of old religious traditions co-mingles paradoxically with
listening to the messages of your True self and Inner Voice that
remind vitality is always here for you to allow in any given moment!

Climate Change, dark sorcery and violence plague our streets . . .
Breathing in chaotic storm fronts are painful to watch and hard on the lungs . . .

But where are you on the map of seeing a
Silver Lining Playbook and making only positive interpretations?

The black truth is that it can be hard to find Nirvana
within the chaotically deafening traffic jam of life!

Might as well strum the heartstrings of Oneness and
tune in to the key of Inner Peace!

Saying Peace Out to Spidery Entanglements with Form

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

Feminine energy slowly spins it’s web with Spider rising
Isn’t it tricky not to get tangled up in shady dark edges?

Symbolic of Grandmother Moon, may we be inspired by Spider
to weave new program designs into our dying old paradigm . . .

This reflects correspondence with a forthcoming New Moon
Time for new solutions and novel ways of looking at beginnings

Walking in balance within the center of a circle . . .
Awakens a paradoxical spiritual and practical challenge and opportunity

Like the tracks left in Buddha’s wake . . .
There is a Middle Way!

A Middle Way, in the current American general election looks like
a write-in vote , voting for a third-party candidate, or not at all

Instead of following the commercial that tells you to vote
for the opposite sides of the same coin based on fear-based incentives

Buying into the lesser of two evils only strengthens
the grip that Big Money and the Military Industrial Complex
has on your mind-set

Remember that you have a choice to stay on the path without getting too swayed
by the seductive pull of life’s tension of opposites

See how polarity consciousness plays out by pushing you to
think, feel and behave in a way that
echoes the dominant voices that the corporate media wants you to buy into

Try not to chase your thoughts and react emotionally to those thoughts
in a extroverted trigger happy way with others . . .

What would it be like for you to stand in the empathic shoes
of your so-called competition or adversary?

We nurture creativity by paradoxically staying grounded in Infinity
Dream weaving into the material reality should not be
without entertaining unintended consequences . . .

If you are wearing a predatory mask,
isn’t it obvious that you might not have the stomach
for empathizing with your victims?

Just chew on that for a moment . . .
Isn’t that a mouthful?
