A monarch butterfly gracefully flies above blooming wildflowers.
Energetically, butterfly supports carrying a playful, light-hearted sense of detachment during our everyday doings.
Isn’t it mind boggling to watch their apparent labor of love by constantly flitting about and sewing the seeds of love?
And yet, Butterfly consciousness holds up a mirror to awaken a real felt sense perceptible experience of levity embodying joy and light.
I watched a butterfly do this the other day…flying around tirelessly, landing on flowers, taking off and not appearing to have a concern in the world about the seemingly endless amount of work to be done or the uncertainty of what might come next on the endless honey-do list.
As I watched in awe, I experienced a shift as my own vibe lightened up.
Seeing them doing their thing invites Socratic self-reflective questions about where we might be landing on the map of consciousness at this moment in time.
Are you in the egg stage of an idea (beginning), the larva stage (manifestation), the cocoon stage (program development) and/or the final stage (transformation)?
Butterfly breathes in an air of creativity to get the juices flowing.
During times of more sunlight and warmer temperatures, movement out in Nature floats to the natural rhythm of Butterly magic.
May this experience give pause to an allowing for gentle growth that is sweet like the fragrant scent of flowers.
May All Beings Awaken To Planetary And Universal Peace,
As we dive into deeper waters, things can get murky. Many of you are familiar with the Dark Night of the Soul experiences.
Yet paradoxically, here we are in the throes of an enlightening Spring Eclipse season.
It’s Pisces time of year, the last sign of the Western Zodiac.
Also, Mercury in Retrograde happens today, February 26th and will remain there till March 20th, the first day of Spring in the Northern Hemishphere.
In the meantime, a Full Worm Moon Lunar Eclipse on March 3rd will further amplify meditative, and expansive soul traveling opportunities.
Remember that Full Moons during Eclipses are like regular Full Moons on steroids.
Of course the spiritual path and the energies we encounter on it are not all unicorns, sunshine and rainbows, so to speak.
Dark forces are coming out of hiding big time, rising to the surface, and asking for further examination.
But if Eclipses can be looked upon as light sources that shine on shadowy caverns, they do give us the eyes to see what has not yet appeared to have risen to our awareness.
Deeper spiritual wisdom emphasizes experiential learning through metaphorical scuba diving into the depths of our subconsciousness to bring back Sacred Medicines that can support us in living more consciously.
When we do this, it’s hard not to become inspired to use these Energy Medicines during our day to day interactions with ourselves and each other. For some, it’s the other way around.
When we honor that the most important person that we should pay mindful attention to is ourselves, we are always led back to a personal place of power.
In this spaciousness, we can discover meaningful and lasting changes that come from the inside out.
Vibrations are happening at different levels.
Do they exist whether humans see them or not?
Waves are vibrations of light that make up everything. These waves move at different speeds. Like seasons, these speeds can change.
If only we can harmonize with, surf and ride these energetic waves of light during our everyday interactions with one another.
Do you remember the old story of the tortoise and the hare? Check out the short read aloud version at the clip below to jog your memory, if you’ll pardon the pun:
Looking back on this classic story, the message reawakens the convergence between science and spirituality. Everything is made up of energy.
Sometimes we vibrate slow and sometimes we vibrate quick.
Energy is energy. It’s what we do with it that counts.
Be careful of getting seduced into a sense of urgency to run the hurry up offense on the spiritual path.
Our greatest power is being present in the here and now.
In this eternal moment, may we allow presence to unfold as it is with radical acceptance, a felt sense of empathic compassion, and radiate a heartfelt loving kindness from within, and then outward expansion toward others in our collective orbit.
We are all interconnected with each other, and we all have a role to play in co-creating A New Earth together.
May all Beings be free of suffering and experience Inner Peace,
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
Raccoon cleverly guides us into a powerful enterprise of spiritual understanding –
All the necessary resources are available to us
A fragrant Flower Full Moon
Awakens our senses to the Buddha’s blossoming light of compassion
Shining onto our collective consciousness
“Fair isn’t that everyone gets what they want . . .
Fair is that everyone gets what they need.”
Do you believe in Divine Will –
that the Universe will provide us with everything we need?
In a more equitable, fair and just rebirthing New Earth . . .
This truth of abundance will become more self-evident!
There is no need to greedily concentrate global resources into the top 1%
Or by wearing a concealed criminal mask underneath a white or blue-collar –
Behind closed doors or out on the street
“Don’t believe the hype!”
Is Raccoon prompting you to get organized or mask your objectives?
Like humans, raccoons are highly adaptable creatures –
We need to access this inner resource during our transition into a New Age
Raccoon’s mask is symbolic of the magic of transformation . . .
Leaving behind who you once were,
while branching out into a budding new identity –
Spring forth and cross over into new dimensions
Faith, trust and a meditative heart
Will open you up to an infinite field of solutions –
Know that the resources you need are on their way
There is no need to hoard or plunder our home planet Earth’s resources anymore
We all win when we treat Her and one another with dignity and respect
Raccoons are natural martial artists
“Be a defensive driver in Life.”
Breathe in the calm in the eye of the storm . . .
Are you able to harmonize with your conflict?
Do you hear the attached emotions within your self or
from that pesky other person that is triggering you?
Are you being agile enough to make friends with inner peace –
Instead of externally demonizing another person, place or thing?
Try not to become seduced by making up sensational stories
about how you have been wronged or persecuted by others
Or by playing the blame game or beating up on yourself or someone else
Raccoon can guide you into finding a peaceful way
toward greater empathy, compassion and understanding
for yourself and your relationships
Given that we are all connected –
Try to see yourself in all that you encounter . . .
Especially when hiding behind their more distressing disguises
What aspect of yourself is masked behind darkness –
Just waiting to walk out of the shadows and jump into the sunlight?
We are kissed by a strong Pink Full Moon today –
Oh what a greeting!
Dancing under a bright Spring Eclipse setting
A powerful and transformative catalyst illuminates the scenery . . .
Picture a budding green New World
Have you caught wind of the pungent stink of rebirth in the air?
We humans are mostly water –
So, it stands to reason that, on some level at least,
we are all affected by Full Moon’s
In much the same way as “hospitals, police stations and the ocean’s tides”
Might as well swim with Her currents
Isn’t that just another opportunity for deepening our empathy for one another?
Porcupine medicine stimulates the flow of innocence and joy
Reawakening a sense of wonder energetically
A light-hearted feeling of detachment is rediscovered playfully
Some Native American tribes use Porcupine quills to
stimulate energy to get stuck emotional waters
become flowing streams
Tribal wisdom on this continent is akin
to ancient Taoist wisdom that brought acupuncture needles to these shores
It is as if Porcupine leaves behind an air of nonchalant humor that jests
that even beyond China, that’s just the way the egg rolls
Yes, we live in an intense outer world with serious problems
But there are more powerful than usual spirited energies
that want us to see infinite solutions
facilitate positive changes moving away from our dysfunctional ways
Do you have enough faith to move mountains and trust in a Divine Plan?
Learning to dance in our daily walk
Awakens a sense of blissful adventure
Try not to get pricked by our anxiety-ridden, adult-centric old world
of fear, greed and suffering . . .
Train yourself to let go of
the toxicity of manipulation, dog eat dog and an eye for an eye mentality
Be open to the magical mind of child
There is strength in vulnerability
But keep your inner child well protected
Try not to get swayed by what others think you should or shouldn’t be doing
Explore fun and enjoyable activities that you want to do
Are you feeling charged by the emotional barbs of others?
“Freedom comes when we deal with the pain behind the button,
thus disconnecting our automatic reaction to being pushed”
We are all created intrinsically equal
Nobody is built better or worse than anyone else
We just have different talents
that, with our diverse gifts, we can help build a better world for all of us
Curiosity stimulates our minds and resurrects our souls . . .
Know the power of imagination and fantasy
just waiting to be discovered within the mundane world of everyday life
Even a grumpy old bear is inspired by Porcupine’s way
of enjoying playfully childlike games.
May we allow our identification with intellectualism to fall away
As we spring forth a fiery heart’s intuition
Facing North with Lynx
We venture across space and time
Discovering hidden lost treasures
How do we allow past lives
Illuminate the shadows of the present
To set sail toward clear skies ahead?
Nature gives birth to our blueprint orientations
But we are free to make our own footprints
What has been passed on to you by your ancestors?
While tracking with our snow shoe paws
We awaken to Heavenly knowledge of Dreamtime
What secret forecasts are hiding behind the clouds?
Remember that solitude need not be a lonely experience
Are your distractions a sleep-aid to your soul promptings?
Think outside the box . . .
What solutions do you hear echoing from stillness speaking?
Do you see or hear an unseen core of truth?
Lynx medicine is akin to spiritual x-ray vision
We peer deeper into our empathic connections in relationship
What do we do with this information?
As we move further away from the Winter Solstice
Closer to Groundhog Day, Chinese-Lunar New Year and then Spring Equinox
It becomes easier to see the light at the end of the tunnel
But in this darkness, it is a good time for
watching our surfacing dark feelings with a gentle gaze
Painful as they may be, it is wise to be informed by them
Without holding onto the shores
Or becoming consumed by their emotional darkness
May we write injuries in dust, benefits in marble
It has been 20 years since my mom killed herself
Half my lifetime ago
Leaving behind so much grieving for all of us
Such a challenge digging through the dark without losing sight of the light
Hasn’t been the first time I’ve been knocked down
And it won’t be the last
But the bell I choose to listen to
Is a bell of mindfulness
When I look to the past, I live in the present, with my eye on the future
Whatever I get hit with
I’m going to keep getting back up
And you can too
Lynx is a good reminder to hold onto knowledge with watchful eyes
Knowing that sometimes silence is a higher form of honesty
Even in transparency, we respect confidentiality
Now Mercury is in retrograde
Let go of left brain, rational, logical trying to figure it all out cognitive processes
Might as well go with the flow and open up to allowing
creative, intuitive, illogical and feminine faculties
to come out and play
Are you trusting your instincts?
Open minds channel alternative pathways and novel thinking
Seeing ourselves as eternal springs with an unlimited internal well of resources
helps shift from a victim mentality toward our True soul power
Clean care and clean Love burns greener energy into our atmosphere
Feed your soul with full-bellied laughter
Let your love and light shine on by wearing a genuine heart-smile
Imagine observing a great conversational exchange of
Great Spirit asserting to Dragonfly . . .
“Nothing is as it seems . . . nor is it the opposite.”
Do you ever get the feeling our dreams are more lucid than our waking reality?
Colorful rays of light help us breathe in fiery magical energy –
into mundane moments of ordinary life.
Remember when wise Coyote fooled
Dragon out of his illusionary King Midas Touch . . .
by tricking him into being entrapped
by his own charming spell and losing his power?
When tornadoes arrive, it is a good exercise
in letting go and allowing your soul to ride out the storm front.
When you’re lost and alone . . . that’s when the rainbow comes.
Dragonfly now communicates enlightening elemental wisdom –
dazzling us with aerial feats inspired by spirited winds of change . . .
Brought to you by right Tao in a commercially free Nature channel zone.
Given experiences with massive climate changes – how do we make friends with
intergalactic and/or multidimensional relationships?
Will we gracefully expedite our maturation process effectively?
Beyond the security of and propagation by the Empire –
May Universal pillars of Love and Truth light our way!
When the fat lady sings and the trumpet sounds its call
Out of the ashes of the burning city we love . . .
Rises a Phoenix – becoming a new beacon of light.
Picture a dragonfly as a free-spirited vessel orbiting
within your infinite inner space . . .
Ask for directional guidance to see through illusionary smokescreens –
lighting the way toward new transformational pathways.
Is your weight in balance? Are you holding yourself back with beliefs that no longer serve you? Do you need a change in habit? Have you followed through with your action plan to make a change?
No need to prove your power to others . . . merely trust in becoming it.
Let us remember our ancestral earthbound connections . . .
From dust to dust, ashes to ashes.
May we remember our roots with our free-spirited
Nature mothers, brothers and sisters in the trees, shrubs and gardens.
Dig in and imagine energy sinking three feet or more
into the ground emptying through the soles of your feet.
With a New Moon on Wednesday . . .
pay intentional attention to portals for new beginnings.
Create, develop, cultivate and manifest co-creations with Mother Earth.
In humanities colorful foliage, we are all earthlings –
We all have a vested interest in connecting to Her heartbeat.
She is a living being that is our womb of life.
Hug a tree and even plant one if you feel so moved.
Antennas to the cosmos are they.
Remember when tribal medicine men used porcupine quills to stimulate energy?
To wit: The point is . . . Acupuncture works for righteous chi.
Are UFOs and Extraterrestrials merely akin
to visions of European ships seen by Native American shamans –
On the New World’s oceanic horizon?
Reverse engineered technological advances by our Empire’s Hidden Hand . . .
Perhaps Spring Eclipse seasonal energies are stoking our
Universal brothers and sisters to come out and play for all of us to see.
Clearing our doors of perception.
Might we keep an “open and skeptical mind”, while avoiding extreme positions?
Traumatic experiences are real on some level –
Come clean with denial of past abuses!
Otherwise we consume a receipt for history repeating itself.
Walking with playful, light-hearted and humble footsteps –
Do you feel yourself leaving a minimally processed Carbon Footprint?
Facilitating the process of our transition into an Aquarian Age . . .
Waking us up to a higher dimensional consciousness . . .
We are Earthlings –
Letting go of past securities of old programming . . .
Opening up to new beginnings.
A parallel process to Winter’s yin-ward slumber –
Moving full-throttle into Spring’s emergence of expansionary growth.
Formless Energetic beings are we . . .
Paradoxically traveling in material bodily vessels . . .
Beneath superficial differences we are all the color of water.
How do we do leap forward without faith and trust?
Mantra: Great Spirit has a Divine Plan!
Are we able to return to our innocence by discovering
a child-like sense of adventure and wonder in everyday life?
Watch children at school making authentic heartfelt connections organically . . .
Liking one another naturally.
Chaos is real . . . But seriously folks – why so serious?
Leaving behind our identification of intellectualism –
We awaken our heart’s fire to spark our intuition.
We are Building a foundation of intimacy
by speaking frankly in the language of love unconditionally
Pisces is water under the bridge between
Winter and Spring transition
Permission to grieve yin’s dirge
While awakening to new beginnings
Darkness fades as light rises in intensity . . .
Sister chaos flows into brother order
Leveling the playing field
Holding peaceful prayers and meditations
for graceful transitional equanimity
A sense of freedom arises in
the sweet surrender to the illusion of control
Let your soul power shine on
by coming out of the closet of psychologically defended modesty
When feeling uncomfortably bugged . . .
Try heeding the ear-worm – Love is all you need
Might that unearth a private and victorious conversational metamorphosis within?
Noticing judgments without judging them
and then letting them go without clinging on to fixed ideas
Sitting with what is empowers us to focus on self
Is it the other person that should change
or could you adjust your own internal dialogue?
When abuses arrive – empower yourself by taking refuge
Imagine if we all dive into a killing with kindness mantra?
With recognition and appreciation of divergent perspectives
Energetically clearing space for welcoming like-minded birds of a feather
Whistleblowers are akin to canaries in coal mines . . .
Please heed their call!
Their messages manifest sustainable Life!
Born out of the Dreamtime . . .
A balanced Life diet of resting, eating well and physically exercising
moves emotions around –
Nourishing harmony in our daily walking meditative footsteps
With a minimally processed Carbon Footprint
Got boredom?
Remember to hold an eagle-eye vision of the valley ahead
Setting goals, while paradoxically letting go of outcome
Cleansing inner pollution by holding a clean vision for Mother Earth
The Golden Age is an unfolding process of possibilities . . .
Venturing out in Nature affords a doorstep into a portal of
open-hearted receptive listening . . .
Stoking the embers of sensuous and magical feelings by honoring our
mysterious and primal orientation
