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

Eagle Soars Along the Trails, Whilst Blazing Bald New Truths

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

A Full Harvest Moon fades into a sunlit moon’s twilight
of a waning Fall Eclipse Season . . .

Do you see the veils between the spirit and material realms
thinning before your eyes?

Grandmother Moon mates with Grandfather Sun
Autumn Equinox is the spirit of the season

Opportunistic Bald Eagle eats a dead dear

Is Mother Nature’s revelation gently allowing for
being lured into new moon frontiers?

Or perhaps Eagle hears formerly sound-proof
airways of transformative drum-trips . . .

Movement into multidimensional friendly cohabitation with shadow selves

A High Mind is balanced by a yinwardly strong tree trunk
sewn deeply into this black Planet . . .

There is no need to fear Her primal Nature

Spiritual Beings stand on Her fertile ground and bow to her bounty
But with paradoxical knowledge that we are not of It

We all sport star-dust in our Divine Constitution!

Creative forces flow with the power of water
Neurons want to dig in to outside the box right brain thinking

Linear, logical and rational left brain cognition is also important for balance

See your body as a Golden Temple living within the Kingdom of Heaven
This perception will help you reconcile the conflict with duality

Might as well lighten up attachments to Her gravitational pull

See positive interpretations through the Eagle Eyed lens of silver linings

Take note of your thoughts about the world . . .
Be curious about how they might affect your attached emotions

And then witness how you act out those drams in your day-to-day operations

If you want, consider scripting a new authorship

Warding Off Nervous Woodland Creature Energies with Chipmunk’s Spirited Guidance

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

Meditation on Chipmunk welcomes prosperity
Time to be thrift by stowing gatherings away with efficiency

Movement toward Friday, yields a Full Harvest Moon eclipse . . .

We are riding the waves of a rising tide –
Veils are thinning, while dark shadowy energies are gaining ground

Remember that by investing in loss, you paradoxically have nothing to gain
Perhaps you might just receive one more case of what you no longer want!

What if you just let go of controls and see how you feel while riding the waves?
What is so rewarding about holding onto attachments to what we resist?

Mercury in Retrograde challenges logical and rational thought patterns
Be mindful of a greater opportunity to think outside the conventional boxes

Dig in to intuitive and imaginative perceptual communication tunnels

How are you doing with your seasonal balancing act between work and play?

Autumn Equinox, breathes in energetic equality of yin and yang
Nature projects light and dark energies dancing in egalitarian oneness

Like a Chipmunk in Winter, our collective consciousness has been in hibernation
Now is the time to come out of a systemic hypnotic trance . . .

A multidimensional red carpet is being rolled out before our eyes!

Do you remember when shamans of the Americas helped
common folks see the ships coming in from other worlds?

Doesn’t it feel like a similar time in human history?

When will a more fair and balanced news broadcast lead to revelations that
challenge the predominant human-centric theories of our origins?

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!

Toad the Dry Trail Hopper

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

Toad hops along the trails . . .

Their energies remind us to use what resources are available

Trust the signs and synchronicities to show you where to look

Last week’s Full Sturgeon Moon wanes in concert with sunlight

Paradoxically, Fall Eclipse Season is blowing in the wind

Picture Toad to relax any fears you might have about
the times that are changing before your eyes

At the end of the day, there is security in the knowledge
that the only constant is change

There is no need to push the river or hang on to the shores

Toad is good medicine for conflict resolution
It is possible to confront your fears without being too confrontational

Sometimes, you just have to lay your cards on the table and
let the chips fall where they may

Autumn Equinox is not far off on the horizon in the Northern Hemisphere

In later September, Light and Dark energies become equally aligned

Right Tao, we are preparing for moving Yinward

Pretty soon, feminine energies will gain momentum and then
climax on the Winter Solstice after a long December

Finding Industry with Beaver

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

Beavers are industrious creatures . . .
Building and being productive is what they do

Their medicine is a friendly reminder that
dreams arrive if you consciously sculpt them into this reality

A Full Sturgeon Moon is rapidly approaching upstream
While an Astrological Fall Season is blowing in the winds of change ahead

Autumn season sits on the horizon in the Northern hemisphere
While Summer’s light gradually wanes

Do you take issue with that forthcoming situation or do you rejoice about a new season?

Leave it to Beaver to show you how to produce a new film your life –
Especially if you don’t feel a sense of purpose anymore

It will take some work on your part
But seasonal energies can help energize your way

Otherwise, it’s just the same old Groundhog Day movie
that repeatedly plays out in your life’s script

Beavers are action-oriented team players that embody mutual-aid group work
Meditation on their knowledges reveals alternative ways of travel

There is a sense of harmony and spacial respect in their eco-development
This is the wave of the future for a more fair playing field

Leave it to Beaver to inspire a work ethic and harmonic convergence of labor

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?

In Preparation for Changing Weather Patterns with Squirrel

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

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

Butterfly Magic

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

A Strawberry Full Moon accompanies the Summer Solstice
this Monday in the Northern Hemisphere . . .

Float with Butterfly through multidimensional reality . . .
A peak experience awaits atop the summit of yang’s sunlight

Cool down elevated spirits during an energetic fire on the mountain!

Loosen up entanglements with superficial differences

Time to heal our dysfunctional ways within an endangered human family

Summertime is a natural time for externally driven action and outward expansion

Become inner peace and see it reflect in the world around you

In the Southern hemisphere, yin’s dark nights reach their zenith
then darkness wanes as their days slowly grow longer . . .

In spite of how shy or introverted you might be . . .
Transform into a playful and social air like Butterfly

Lighten-up our energy fields with a trajectory of joy in our energy fields . . .

Breathe in light-hearted fresh air
and sow the seeds of love

Flap your wings and let your heart sing with Butterfly!

Relax judgments and prejudices of yourself and others

See we are all a colorful and diverse expressions of oneness

Butterfly guides us into the equal fields of cross-pollination
