Seeing Through The Smokescreen With Weasel Energy

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

Like any energy, Weasel Medicine can be worked in positive or negative ways . . .

As such, it can’t hurt to let go of our chronic worries

Instead, let us see ourselves as one human family basking in a
nurturing womb of love and light

Their energy is not exclusive to politicians, nor general welfare of
big government, business, military, and other special interests

Meditate on our Native American shamanic ancestors for a spell . . .
Weasel helped them smoke out the plotting and scheming of tribal conflicts . . .

And then later on seeing through the illusionist curtain of White Man’s burden . . .

Isn’t it curious that most European settlers, and their living descendants
in America today, have more in common with immigrants, refugees
and people of color, than with a wealthy minority that sits at the table with the
privileged minority atop the economic pyramid?

The dirty slugfest between Imperial Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and
number one ranked contender Donald Trump looks like a mud wrestling match

Just imagine what we could do to better our world with the
kind of big money that bribes this farce

Don’t buy in to the commercial that sells “us and them” kind of thinking –
Reinforcing the idea that people with certain talents, should be
put on a pedestal, while others are demonized and are not deserving of equality

It’s seductive to listen to simple solutions to complex problems that
profit off negative emotions that fuel elitist sentiment
about those that are losing ground

All you have to do is to tune into the corporate media to see this comedy of errors

The political will of FDR’s New Deal exerted government’s
power to do the right thing . . .

That was not a popular move among the wealthy back zen, as it is not right tao

The radical act of leaving behind our internal experiences with
projected hellish nightmares, gives birth to inner peace –

Albeit not without the bitter taste of labor pains

Short term gains at the expense of long-term investment
adversely affects at least seven generations

Picture walking in the shoes of those seemingly
different from you in their worldview

Let go of outcome, and stay in the center of the circle of this election week
Don’t get too swayed by anxieties projected into the future

Keep doing that to build empathy in your minds and hearts

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

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
