Fellow Luminous Souls Traveling Together In Collective Cosmic Consciousness . . .

Posted on by under Consciousness, Uncategorized
Ari Reading This Original Guided Meditation

In much the same way as the Shamans of the Americas, the Buddha recognized the reality of suffering, and became aware that the way out of the nightmare was to face it head on.

And then the Christ torched the Light of Compassion with the Power of Love; thus revealing that the Kingdom of Heaven is encoded in everything and everywhere.

Likewise, as many of our ancestors have done; a growing body of folks on the spiritual path today are awakening to the vision to go beyond the negative self talk mainstream movie reel that appears to get louder, more divisive, demonizing and repetitive as we speak.

May the we allow the light to illuminate the shadows . . .

A critical mass of people are now seeing through the smoke and mirrors that front as an illusionary curtain behavioral trap that is sold, bought and processed as everyday reality.

Because, this seemingly intangible deeply mysterious dimensional experience transcends the five senses and 3D realm.

In their Dreamtime, Indigenous people from Australia knew this experiential reality as more real than the normal Western version of reality back Zen as it is right Tao.

And yet, it is perceptible and spoken to us through stillness. It’s the in sound from way out.

The tricky part is that it takes trust to take a quantum leap of faith to hop off the lily pad onto a safe universal landing zone of Love and Truth.

Truly, we only miss the boat when we are in an identified place with our attached doubts, fears, mental tapes, concepts, and compartmentalized cognitions . . . aka the Chattering Monkey Mind or the Reptilian Brain.

From an elevated state of consciousness, we are equipped to release and let go of our wounds, control issues, hang ups, etc. and surrender to the Divine Will of the Universe.

In this free flowing expanding spaciousness, we will surf the rising tides of Joy and Light, as normative mindful states of sustainable consciousness.

Unity Consciousness embodies the recognition and intuitive understanding that we are all part of Cosmic Oneness.

From this space, we just know our interconnection with each other and everything for that matter, if you’ll pardon the spiritual-scientific pun.

May we remember to carry this pocketful of magic with us along our way, and continue to cultivate an experiential learning curve with a playful, light-hearted and healthy sense of detachment.

What’s your Light Language?

May all Beings be free and experience Inner Peace,

A New Moon In Gemini At The End Of May, A Full Stawberry Full Moon In Early June & The Summer Solstice In Late June . . .

Posted on by under Spirituality, Uncategorized

A New Moon in Gemini on May 27th manifests itself with energy reflecting the need for changes and spontaneity.

Communication is key.

Meditate on how you can feel safe when thinking about your feelings and sharing them with others.

Be mindful of keeping a cool head but not without remembering an open, compassionate heart.

Harmony of thinking and feeling is important.

Under the Gemini New Moon, check in with this balance.

Do you feel connected to your Spirit?

Do you feel connected to your body?

Do you feel as sense of inner peace with both of these states?

It can take time for our inner tapestries to awaken and rise above ground from what has been previously smoldering beneath the surface.

Our consciousness can rise up in ways that gives us the sight to see a deeper or higher truth.

The likelihood of elevating consciousness happening increases when we let go of anxiety, negative self talk and accompanying emotional reactions.

Because this opportunistic attack of the Chattering Monkey Mind or Nervous Woodland Creature energy can really cramp your Chi, and limit our ability to see clearly from new vistas.

Instead, find ways to channel your mental energy into being kind to your mind, being gentle on yourselves, and allowing for the experience of cultivating better mental health.

Looking ahead, a Full Strawberry Moon, will happen on Wednesday, June 11.

This moon gets its name from a number of North American native tribes, and is inspired by the peak of wild strawberries in June.

Consider this as a synchronicity to the peak light by the Summer Solstice around the same timeframe.

In Anglo-Saxon traditions, this Full Moon is called the Honey, Mead or Rose Moon.

Life is sweet like honey, if only we allow for it. Of course it takes mulch to compost life.

According to Chinese ancestry, this Full Moon is called the Lotus Moon. The Lotus flower appears on lily pads in bog areas.

In spiritual meditation practice, the Lotus Flower reflects that out of the primordial darkness, comes a natural creation of the Flower of Life.

It is symbolic of how a spiritual and meditative life is always waiting patiently to spring forth in a soul.

The first day of summer arrives with the solstice this year on Friday, June 20, in the Northern Hemisphere at least. In the Southern Hemisphere, it will be the Winter Solstice.

In much the same way of our brains, we need both sides to heal the illusion of duality and polarity consciousness.

Depending where you are on the Planet, the solstices will bring us the longest day or night or the shortest day or night.

Like our ancestors who came before us . . .

We will either be coaxing back the light while tunneling through the dark or watching its manifestation fire up our skies and spirits; more yin-ward or more of a social butterfly. Might as well reflect on both experiences.

Take care of yourselves everyone,

Ari

May Broadcasts A Double Feature Showing Of A New Moon Shine & A Full Flower Moon

Posted on by under Consciousness, Spirituality, Uncategorized
Photo by Vika Glitter on Pexels.com

Looking back into the rearview mirror, it appears that the spirited change agents of the past Eclipse Season, Mercury in Retrograde and other energies were contributing factors toward transformation, shakeups and changes in consciousness within our inner and outer worlds.

As the fogs lifts, hawks are friendly reminders that our vision improves with clearer skies ahead.

Do you feel more confident about signing contracts, making long-term plans, and creating commitments now that Mercury’s back in direct?

Are you thinking more rationally and logically nowadays?

Today is a New Moon in Taurus. Plant the seeds of new intentions so that new beginnings will manifest.

Energetically, this is the season of Taurus the Bull from April 19th-May 20th. The Bull is an assertive reminder that you are worthy and you don’t need anything outside of yourself to claim your worthiness. That is a powerfully grounding mantra to live by in the material world of 10,000 things.

After an intense Eclipse Season, it is time to slow down, stabilize and ground our bodies. Some concrete grounding strategies are getting out in Nature, feel your bare feet on the ground and give yourself some indulgences with creature comforts.

Remember that self-care is about what makes you feel good and supports your overall wellness. Find ways to enjoy the natural materials of the living organism aka Mother Earth. Just as an example, I have been enjoying playing flag football and rucking (hiking with a weighted vest) because for me, they are grounding forces to awaken material enjoyment and spiritual fulfillment in my life.

May the energy of Bull remind us to slow down our pace, stop and smell the roses, splash some cool water on our faces, and welcome abundance to support what we truly value. In general, it’s a good time to come out of shade and into the light to feel the sun on our faces, so long as you don’t get scorched.

Later on in May and into most of June, Gemini’s energy will be magnified in the air. My daughter’s a Gemini and she reminds me that when their energetic time of year springs up, its a double reminder to focus on communication and reflect on our authentic thoughts and feelings about what’s going on in our heads and hearts. The twins are good reminders that as humans, we are part creature and part divine; spiritual beings having human experiences. May we become creative and social beings during our experiences in relationships.

May deeper clarity unfold along the journey into the windows of our souls and the flowering of our consciousness during this time.

Can we move through the scar tissue of our judgements into a sphere of awareness of forgiveness and acceptance?

Positive Self Talk is always good medicine, but its power is even more amplified at this time.

In our travels, are we feeling moved toward various forms of communication like storytelling, writing and teaching or coaching? We all have a voice to find and we need to broadcast them effectively from the inside out. When arriving from a dimension of inner peace, its energetic vibration of our voices will be magnified significantly.

Every experience is a lesson that can sharpen our minds, deepen our intuition, and increase our wisdom.

Why do you think your soul chose to incarnate, become mortal and choose what to learn from during this lifetime’s experience?

A Full Flower Moon will happen on Thursday, May 23rd. Hummingbirds accentuate this point because they embody effective cross pollination of spreading the seeds of love and flowering of consciousness.

Of course this moon goes by many names, such as Mulberry Moon by the Creek and Choctaw or Moon of Green Leaves by the Lakota or Field Maker Moon by Abenaki.

Other ancestral names given by the Celtics and Old English are Hare or Grass Moon. And for those who hear the peepers singing, it’s easy to understand where the name Frog Moon sprung from, if you’ll pardon the seasonal apropos pun.

Speaking of frogs, remember the beautiful Lotus Flower grows out of the Lily Pad in the gnarly swampy bog areas. This is the true roots and meaning behind Flower Power because the Lotus Flower represents the Flowering of Consciousness and awakening our Human Potential.

Don’t buy into the commercial that sells that the 60s were all about sex, drugs and rock and roll. Yes, those ingredients were real parts of that era. But underneath those appetizers was a main course meal that fed consciousness; including the questioning of conventional societal programing, working on Civil Rights and leveling the playing field.

When we truly acknowledge an authentic awakening taking root in our souls, we recognize that we are living on Indigenous lands, and have all been affected by Colonization. In this state of awareness, we will evoke a living memory of our ancestral roots. May we breathe in a sense of clarity, renewal, healing, and rejuvenation into our souls during this season.

Given the current and historical oppression that humankind has experienced on the Planet; including the genocide and enslavement of various groups of people, including Semitic, BIPOC & LGBTQ+ folks- it can be challenging to perceive the infinite possibilities awaiting humanity to co-create a more fair and just society.

Meditate on We The People consciousness; as well as the truth that everyone are Chosen People created in the image of Creator. This mantra will bear fruit to transcendence and transformation with humanity, our Planet and beyond. We are all One and Diverse expressions of Great Spirit.

Take care of yourselves everyone,

Ari

Rising Up To A Full Snow Moon And Surfing The Flowing Tidings Of Pisces

Posted on by under Consciousness, Spirituality, Uncategorized

Pisces time of year reflects endings and beginnings. The fish bring in tidings of change, and the mystical intersection of shorelines and seasonal transitions between the death of winter and the rebirth of spring.

For example, the Fish are at the tail end of the Zodiac and they swim in between Winter and Spring. Like the oceans receiving the rest of the waterways, all the other signs flow into Pisces.

A Full Snow Moon on February 24th reveals the waning peak wintry conditions mixed with the promise of new growth, longer days and warmer weather as we spring ahead.

This will be the last Full Moon of the Zodiac before the Spring Eclipse Season in later March and early April. The winds of change will be blowing into our individual and collective souls during this time. Shakeups in consciousness are in the airwaves.

Seasons reflect the spiritual Law of Transience; everything changes and is ephemeral. The stirrings of spring are happening both below and above the ground. Can you hear the forrest coming alive?

Time to let go of the old self and whatever old narratives that have defined your life and make the transition into the new chapter or new book. There is a feeling of starting over, which can be both exciting and mysterious. What magical new adventures are awaiting?

Keep in mind that it is natural to grieve the death of the old self and say goodbye to old relationships. But it is best not to indulge in those feelings or be a suckerfish to your grieving process. Might as well say yes to the new growth that wants to manifest into new frontiers.

We made it through the tunnel! Use these energies to light your way into new pathways.

Like the yin and the yang, the two fish will come full circle and return to a new endpoint. In the death of endings, there is rebirth in beginnings. The Spring Equinox is symbolic of balance between masculine and feminine energies, as they are in equal alignment with one another at this junction.

And then around the Spring Equinox, fiery Aries carries the torch into new beginnings. Energetically, this is like a new year. It’s no coincidence that baseball season starts around this time; America’s pastime. While the Fish go with the flow and swim around in circular fashion, the Ram is I Am consciousness and wants to knock it out of the park, if you’ll pardon the baseball pun.

The Spring Equinox shows light and dark energies are equal, like the shorelines do. Water and Land are diverse expressions of elemental forces. They mark the flowing mystery of life because they are in between land and sea. May we walk with them in an ancestral footprint of one foot in spirit and one foot in ground.

Remember when the fiery energies of spring are arriving, gently allow the cool waters of Pisces to vaporize them with an ocean spray of fresh air.

Take care of yourself everyone,

Ari

A Full Buck Moon Digs Into The Earth and Kindles the Fiery Flames of Super, Dragon-Like Lairs of New Adventures

Posted on by under Consciousness, Spirituality, Uncategorized
Photo by Yoss Traore on Pexels.com

A Full Buck Moon will happen on Monday, July 3, 2023.

Meditation on the energy of Deer reveals gentle allurement into new adventures.

This moon will be the first of three consecutive Supermoons during the rest of the year.

And then the second arrives on August 1st, third on August 31st, and fourth on September 29th.

Supermoons are like regular moons on steroids.

This Full Moon goes by many names, including the Salmon Moon by Native Alaskans, Time Of Much Ripening by Mohawk, Blueberry Moon by Ojibwe, Squash Are Ripe by Algonquin and Hay Moon in Anglo Saxon culture.

Modern society forgets that pre-colonized Europe has Indigenous roots too.

Just like it forgets that early Christianity mixed paganism and shamanism into its teachings.

Christ Consciousness, which is an internal state of consciousness, is in alignment with these teachings.

Autumn Eclipse season will happen in October with a solar eclipse in the middle of the month and a lunar eclipse at the tail end of the month.

Eclipses are catalysts and always shake things up in our world and consciousness.

Also there will be two New (Super) Moons on January 21st and February 20th.

New moons are always associated with new beginnings.

A New Moon in Cancer will happen on July 17th.

Feeling safe is a good place to cultivate internally, especially right now.
In spite of emotional fluctuations, it is wise to learn to let go of the past.

Forgiveness will help avoid depression from thinking too much about things.

Having an attitude, chip on your shoulder or holding grudges are all self defeating.

Our perceptions of the world can be very subjective.

Giving yourself space to create distance without being bitter is a healthy form of self care.

A regal emotionally abundant manifestation will create a real sense of belonging in the world.

Do this with a healthy sense of detachment.

Remember the Q-TIP mantra by quit taking it personally.

Keep in mind that it’s still the year of the Rabbit according to Chinese astrology and will be until February 10th, 2024. And then, it will be the Year of the Dragon.

Dragon symbolizes power, change and spirituality and can awaken self-love and empowerment by tapping into your inner royalty and power.

Dragon represents masculine soul power or yang.

Consider Dragon’s connection to the Phoenix, which symbolizes the sacred power of the feminine or yin. The Yin and the Yang, masculine and feminine are at their natural best when flowing in balance with one another.

Give up the indoctrination that says that the light should defeat the dark or vice versa.

Can you imagine what it would be like to not have a nighttime to sleep at, or women living on the planet? Conversely, can you image no sunlight to walk around in or men around?

Equanimity of all energies are needed to sustain our well being.

Rabbit energy reinforces the calling out of our fears and a good reminder that what we resists persists. Its energy reflects fertility, the feminine powers of the moon, fertility and new life.

Do you need to start over in your life in a new chapter or even book?

May Rabbit inspire us to plan for a field of possibilities and make the necessary leaps and hops in that we need to make down the rabbit hole journey of life.

If you are paying attention, the outer changes in the world are resonating within your own soul. This magnifies the recognition that you can’t go back to the past, nor know with conviction what will happen in the future.

Also, the energy of Lizard is good medicine to tap into at this time. Use its energies to amplify your powers of perception, if you so choose to do so. It can awaken your dreams- even if you don’t dream at night, or remember your dreams rather, you can dream in the day.

However, if you become aware of your dreams, then you are lucid dreaming. If you have a lizard in your life that you connect with, study its qualities to learn more about yourself. Their energies can also help us trust your intuitive and psychic faculties.

Mediation on Lizard can reinforce the power to trust your own intuition over anyone else’s. Lizard is a powerful spirit guide to help us harmonize with our environment, through conscious dreaming to manifest what we want in our waking lives.

Envision a conversation between Rabbit and Lizard to examine any fears about what future possibilities might want to manifest. Remember to surrender and trust that the Universe will bring us to the shoreline, even if you have no idea of how that will happen.

Be mindful of control issues because this will be especially challenging but doable nonetheless, if only people oriented in this way choose to believe in and access their internal power.

It is good to have a game plan in the jigsaw puzzle of life.

But like John Lennon said, “life is what happens when you’re busy making other plans.” We can’t always control what happens to us but we can control how we respond to what happens.

Do this by letting go of the grasping and clinging to the status quo. Might as well get in alignment with the changes coming our way.

And there will be massive changes coming that will make the 60s and technological advances appear microscopic.

These seismic shifts are all connected to the New Earth Golden Aquarian Age that is unveiling before our eyes.

Yes, the world is on fire. But remember that out of the ashes, the Phoenix Rises!

Take care of yourselves everyone,

Ari

Whale Watching & Dolphin Tales Are Out Of This World!

Posted on by under Consciousness, Spirituality, Uncategorized

Photo by Kristen Bouse

A Full Flower Moon will happen on May 5, 2023. Of course this Full Moon goes by many names, but we all remember the old saying about April showers bringing May flowers. This Full Moon is also a Lunar Eclipse, which is the last of the Eclipse season. Another name is the Wesak Full Moon, where the Buddha’s energy shines powerfully on Mother Earth. As we have discussed in this blog, eclipses are powerful energetic catalysts that shake things up in our consciousness. They are disruptive to the status quo and get us to look at things differently. May we be inspired by collectively compassionate heads and hearts at this time.

With flowers come hummingbirds, who are effective cross-pollinators that are flying around now. In short, they really spread joy and love in our world. Flowers bring color to the show. And when we see hummingbirds hovering about, they dazzle us with aerial feats akin to some of the unpredictable, jaw dropping movements of UFOs that we see. For those of you who have experienced these, some of you have reported a humming sound that isn’t too far off the sound of a hummingbird hovering over your head, in my mind at least.

Speaking of close encounters, our family was on a road trip recently and spotted some shore birds, dolphins and a humpback whale fishing together along the coast. They were hardly a stone’s throw from the shore and we tracked them along the beach for quite some time. It became clear that they were aware that we were watching them and they put on quite a show by breaching several times for us.

It is an interesting synchronicity that whales and dolphins are mammals. Past storytelling reveals a time when they both lived on land, back when the earth looked different. Some circles say that whales used to fly in the air and other legends tell of a time when they, along with dolphins came here from other worlds, like the Sky People, ETs or Ancient Aliens. In shamanism, whales are said to be like a living library of our planet and dolphins reflect communication. Now that they both clearly live in the sea, we know water is a powerful conductor of sound. What kind of underwater communities and USOs do whales and dolphins know about?

Looking back on the material covered in this blog, we have discussed that stardust is in our DNA, that we are multidimensional beings and that we can influence our DNA. Like with meditation, our brainwaves change, which is a form of alchemy. The more we make meditation a way of life, including physical forms of meditation like Yoga, T’ai Chi and Qigong, we discover a new normal in the way we transform ourselves. Reiki and other forms of energy work shift consciousness, as well as produce new perceptual experiences with reality too. They open you up to your formless being, which taps into more of who you really are.

In mental health, we talk a lot about the power of Positive Self Talk. As humans, our brains are prewired toward negative self talk because it has served us in our ancestry. Just think about the days when saber toothed tigers and other predators were hiding in bushes waiting patiently for their next meal. We were organically tuned to react to subtle movements to keep us safe from being killed and eaten. Today, we have to work on facilitating the transition into our prefrontal cortex by finding new forms of shapeshifting and communication, which are examples of dimensional bleeding and vibrational shifts. Any mental fog will start clearing up after Mercury goes back direct after May 14th. What new vistas will open up as you reflect back on your old self?

In much the way you may be opening up to seeing beings from the spirit realm or beings from another planet, you are also learning to make the shift from negative self talk to positive self talk. The highly evolved Arcturians reportedly amplify this sentiment. Perhaps this is the next quantum leap in our evolutionary process- becoming Homo Luminous or returning to the “original lineage of light.” Kindly and gently keep in mind that further movement into Spring and Summer are powerful times for bringing manifestation into your life. It is a time for personal growth and expansion into your budding new self, if you’ll pardon the pun.

Till Next Time,

Ari

As A Full Worm Moon Hooks In Pisces, Budding Energies Spring Forth The Vernal Equinox

Posted on by under Spirituality, Uncategorized

Intimacy is healthy & effective communication.

Being grounded in empathy supports soulful connections.

When we are compassionately in our hearts together we will dance with each other

in a way that sheds light on dark edges and calms power struggles.

Co-regulation is when mindful energies relax,

sensitize and harmonize with each other in their environment.

Photo by Jonathan Borba on Pexels.com

Psychic ability is a natural part of our human superpowers.

Some say that empathy is the highest form of psychic ability, like sonar with Whales.

Dive deep into Whale consciousness to connect with your empathic heartmind.

For Whales teach us how to tune in and hear each other from deeper places.

Meditation on Whale can awaken your soul purpose

so that you can self actualize with self love.

A Full Worm Moon will happen on March 7, 2023.

Spring may not officially be here yet,

but this moon reflects the old fashioned saying that the early bird gets the worm.

More Robins bobbing and singing are good reminders that a new season is on its way.

The ebb and flow of Pisces tides will indeed roll back, as Aries sun shines brightly on the horizon.

If the Fish know their elemental sea of consciousness,

then Aries captures the spirit of the I AM presence.

The gift of presence is the assertion of your unique diverse expression

that comes only from the light of your soul.

Trust in the power of your inner light beaming o’er treetops & throughout the cosmos.

The Ram’s fire vaporizes the Fishes waters,

in much the same way as water mystifies fire by cooling down its embers.

Internal chi builds momentum gradually, like the power of water.

But without heat turning up in dreams to fire up the pot,

there will be no manifestation determination.

Like the Yin and Yang, there can be no beginnings without endings;

No dark nights without sunlit days or action without non-action.

Equanimity is duality in flowing motion as well as in still waters.

On March 20, the Spring Equinox will reveal energetically balanced intersections between

male and female, light and dark & yin and yang.

And then, spirit will naturally become more outward,

upward and expansive in the Northern hemisphere;

while more inward, downward and contracting in the Southern hemisphere.

The fire of Eclipse Season in April and May will be felt with more heated intensity.

Take care of yourself everyone,

Ari

As A New Moon Springs In Pisces, Our Souls Travel Into Mystical Vibrations And Watery Realms

Posted on by under Consciousness, Spirituality, Uncategorized

Photo by Kristen Bouse

A New Moon in Pisces will happen on February 20th . . .

Their energies will primarily be flowing with us till the Vernal Equinox on March 20th.

This date signals the first day of spring.

All new moons reflect new beginnings.

The undercurrents are becoming more active right Tao during the budding energies stirring.

Pisces swims on the tail end of the Zodiac, with fiery Aries against its back.

Per usual, Ram will be eager to hit the mark as the first sign upon Spring’s arrival.

Watery Pisces is a mutable sign and reflects the transition between seasons.

We are shifting from a wintry slumber to a spring awakening.

Mother Nature reflects endings and beginnings, death and rebirth.

They are fish in water and in their element

with the creative fluidity of formless awareness of form.

In T’ai Chi, we cultivate internal power gradually, by being like water.

Down the mountains, through valley, streams rivers and lakes . . .

They are all flowing into the bounty of receptive oceans where aquatic creatures swim.

In much the same way as mystical energy is associated with shorelines;

Pisces are dreamy soul travelers and natural meditators.

Shadow work is critical because this personality profile can especially

go into their own world, get lost in illusion and sink into alternate realities.

If those with these orientations don’t shine a mindful spotlight on their vessel,

they can get lost in escapism and inundated by the under toe of the path of least resistance.

When Einstein asserted that imagination is more important than knowledge,

he was blowing energetic bubbles from the Mirror of the Pisces Mind.

The light continues to rise until it is equal with the dark on the Spring Equinox.

Energetically, the onset of Aries is like the birth of a new year

because it carries the torch and blazes trails in the year ahead.

Aries vaporizes water in a way that can light a fire under our asses for manifesting our dreams.

And then the light rises till it peaks on the Summer Solstice on June 21st.

These energies, mixed with the Eclipse Season in April and May

will intensify our inner and outer worlds.

What transformation do you envision for yourself and for the Universe?

They key dynamic is to let go and follow the cyclical rhythms of Nature.

Take care of yourselves everyone,

Ari

The Imbolc, A Full Snow Moon And Groundhog’s Medicinal Guidance In Shadow Work: There’s Light At The End Of The Tunnel . . .

Posted on by under Consciousness, Spirituality, Uncategorized

On February 2nd, it will be the Imbloc aka Groundhog Day.

Our ancestors honored the Imbolc because it was the approximate mid-point between the

Winter Solstice and the Vernal Equinox, or the first day of Spring.

And then a Full Snow Moon will occur on Sunday, February 5th.

Given that in certain areas, the heaviest snow usually falls during this month . . .

The origin of this Full Moon’s name derives from

our indigenous ancestors who experienced a deep blanket of snow.

Some tribes also referred to this Moon as the Full Hunger Moon,

because of the harsh weather conditions that made hunting very difficult,

and food supplies ran dry.

Meditation on the idea of practicing Mental Subtraction as a walking meditation

can help you see what life would be missing without you in it. It would be a dark void.

Your presence is a gift and a blessing that needs your inner light

to come out and shine on the world.

Energetically, Spring starts at this time, as the seeds underground start thinking about waking up.

Use the new year energies of the Winter slumber to meditate on

what you would like to see come out of hibernation and rebirth upon Spring’s arrival.

Looking back along the dirge, this writer has experienced many trails of tears . . .

One time, this came in the form of a past mental health walkabout to raise awareness

on the tragedy of suicide and its adverse affect on those of us

who have survived our loved ones who have died by suicide.

During the funeral procession,

I met a woman who was walking to support her friend’s son who ended his life abruptly.

Confused, she commented that all he left was a brief note

expressing only that he was curious about the other side.

Likewise, our relationships can change like the seasons.

As in entering or exiting a VIP entryway of secretive inner circles.

Meaningful connections can move in and out of the union privilege of our lives.

Because we are human, we develop attachments to these relationships.

Sometimes, a relationship becomes enmeshed, enabling, codependent, and even toxic.

But like an old hiking boot, the fit wears out is welcome and no longer serves the pairing.

This process is not without resistance and pulls at your heartstrings like an old Blues song.

Are you willing to go beyond your egocentric experiences with

anger, disappointments, resentments, expectations-

or even a sense of entitlement?

Meditation on the energy of Groundhog allows us to experience death without dying.

Groundhogs go into hibernation for a long time during the death of Winter.

They dig elaborate tunnels underground

and reflect the mantra that there is light at the end of the tunnel.

May Groundhog become a member of our spiritual Dream Team

and guide our spirits into soulful nighttime travels.

Paying attention to our dreams and how they connect to our waking reality

is empowering by awakening to the interplay between death and rebirth in everyday life.

We can do this while we are living out this lifetime

and stepping into the realm of Infinity while we are still breathing.

Take care of yourselves everyone,

Ari

A New Moon, Chinese Lunar New Year Of The Rabbit And Moving Further Into The New Aquarian Age & Paradigm . . .

Posted on by under Consciousness, Spirituality, Uncategorized
Photo by Damir. on Pexels.com

A New Moon in Aquarius will happen on January 21,

right after Mercury returns direct on the 18th.

And then it will be a Chinese Lunar New Year of the Rabbit on January 22nd.

As the mental fog of Retrograde lifts and our inner skies clear up,

a heightened need for emotional freedom

might connect to more amplified emotional complexities.

Part of learning how to be human is getting out and interacting with others

because being in groups of people helps us understand our feelings.

Co-regulation breathes fresh air into the dirge of negative emotions like fear, anger and jealousy.

Shadow building is when we call in our fears from our subconscious into our waking lives.

Dr. Martin Luther King’s spirit echoes the callback that darkness cannot drive out darkness.

The Prophetic King understood that only the light of consciousness will illuminate the shadows.

Remember what we resist persists.

A hallmark greeting card of Aquarius

scripts an overwhelming need for the individual to march to the beat of their own drum

by not conforming to the cultural programing of society.

And yet, there is the New Age of Aquarius paradigm

of balancing our Diversity within Unity.

We need to be who we are as authentic selves.

But at the same time, we need to find a way to fit into the oneness of group consciousness.

It is an interesting synchronicity to consider the serpent lines symbolic of Aquarius . . .

Does their propensity to travel into multiple mental dimensional airwaves

naturally align with knowledge brought to us by Sky People?

Might this knowledge help us shapeshift into new forms of evolutionary Homo Luminousity?

Soul travel is akin to dimensional bleeding.

We are of the Earth, but not in it.

One way to access spirit guides is through drumming,

which changes our brain waves, like meditation does.

In the shamanic traditions, journeying is a form of meditation.

Polaris starseeds like me share the air of a strong, single-minded streak of Aquarians.

It is in our North Star, if you’ll pardon the pun.

Energetically, Rabbit is symbolic of good fortune and reflects the powers of the moon.

It will be a good year to develop our sensitivity and artistic expressions,

as well as ambition, fitness & virtue.

Are you contemplating starting a new project?

What are you envisioning for your new self?

Rabbits are associated with sexuality and fertility.

At it’s best, sex can be a passionate soul to soul intersection between lovebirds

in a romantic mind-body-spiritual dance step with one another.

But there are many ways other than physically having sex or childbirth

to play with these experiences in our lives.

For example, you can wear different colors, play music and sing

as forms to explore your sensuality,

as well as give birth to a new creative endeavor as a way to flirt with the fertility of life.

Also, these are all healthy ways to reclaim

and nurture a healthy relationship with your inner child.

May we leap and hop with Rabbit into the Faerie realm and other

magical adventures into rabbit holes of the underworld, middle or upper world.

Alternate realities are adventurous places for our minds and souls to travel.

Let us remember a callback to keep our feet on the ground and safely return to our hutch.

Staying grounded in this reality is just as important,

like the old spiritual mantra of walking with one foot in spirit, one foot in ground.

Dawn & dusk reflect the in between times where the veil

between the spirit and physical realms are thinner.

On February 2nd, it will be the Imbloc aka Groundhog Day.

Our ancestors honored the Imbolc because it was the approximate mid-point between the

Winter Solstice and the Vernal Equinox, the first day of Spring.

Energetically, Spring starts at this time, as the seeds underground start thinking about waking up.

Use the new year energies of the Winter slumber to meditate on what you would like to see

come out of hibernation and rebirth whence Spring arrives.
