Wise Guidance Councel from Wolf

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

A Waning Full Cold Moon Sheds Light On This Week’s Winter Solstice

As a suicide loss survivor, I understand how tragic and painful it is to
lose a loved one to an untimely and unexpected death

Many souls have left our planet at this time of year . . .

Regardless of how our loved ones die . . .
There is a deep hurt from the great void that follows

It can be challenging to hear the flat musical dirge of the funeral procession . . .

Sometimes, we are left with regrets about unfinished business . . .
Revisit those relationships, and picture them now with love and light

It takes letting go of old wounds to
expand personal identity and boundary development . . .

It can be hard to understand how not to take the pain of another personally . . .

This world can be a hard place to live,
especially when you are a sensitive person . . .

It is possible to remain your authentic sensitive self,
without slaying the dragon that breathes fire into your natural entity

But it is not always easy, nor does it always feel good or graceful . . .
Part of healing, is getting scorched

May the light of Christ Consciousness enter your being,
and allow you to feel the joyous spirit of Christmas . . .

Are you following your bliss?

May we see the light beyond our grief and loss . . .

Even in darkness, we all have an awakening light within
that wants to express itself in the outer world

Look at the bright side of Standing Rock,
There is an expression of a powerful solidarity in our common ground . . .

Everyday people are standing up to the Powers That Be . . .
Wounded soldiers, and common folk alike

Look back on the old story of gentle Deer gazing into the eyes of a
powerful Demon blocking the trail on the mountain en route to Great Spirit . . .

Remember that Deer did not back down out of fear . . .
She asserted Her right to climb the mountain to connect with Great Spirit

The way, the truth and the light is listening to Kingdom of Heaven within,
and welcoming the Divine Light of our Being . . .

We all have it, even if we have forgotten

Brighten your spirits by firing up the lights of your inner Tree of Life . . .

Climate Change is an inevitable part of a seismic shift in our
collective consciousness or Great Awakening . . .

It will blow your mind, and shake your soul to its core . . .

Mountain Lion

Mountain Lion inspires leadership through a gentle soft imprint
We are reminded that we can be leaders without necessarily being in the spotlight

You can’t start a fire in a dark cave without a spark of light!

The black and colorful truth is here in America is that we have all been refugees
And from a position of empathy, we are all Standing Rocks . . .

This Winter Solstice as always, meditate on gratitude, and letting go  . . .

Let your inner theatre perceive the Empire relaxing its grip through the lens of love and light!

Be a cool cat, especially when in challenging social situations
Cats see well in the dark, so they are not afraid of mysterious ways

The last Full Moon of 2016 pounces in on Tuesday
Cold days and dark nights are in the air

Winter officially arrives next week . . .
Can you dig on the drift that we are climbing the last leg of
the mountain of another year?

Tis the season for the darkest day in our neck of the woods

But remember that even in darkness,
there is light at the end of the tunnel

If you miss the sunlight and warmer weather . . .

Picture our friends in the Southern Hemisphere
Might they inspire you to change your attitude about your latitude?

Something to look forward to . . .

Seasons change, whether you want the weather to change or not . . .
Remember that Summer is arriving

From that perspective, the forecast might end up
being one more case of getting what you no longer want!

Perhaps this cat’s eye viewpoint might
awaken the light inside of your soul, and brighten the spirits of others

New Vistas with Hawk

Hawk synchronizes with New Moon energies this week . . .

Spirits can dig into tunnels of temperance
May we hold the light on these rising dark nights . . .

Fly with wings of empathy into new vistas viewpoints . . .

Development of this skill builds strong feminine bridges into dark new frontiers
soaring into a Golden New Age consciousness . . .

Co-creation is a process of change, and not without its challenges
Signs of Nature speak to us in the mundane moments of everyday life

A Cold Full Moon lands in our skies in early December
A little further down the horizon, the darkest day of the year
arrives on the Winter Solstice

And then we can look forward to our days getting a little brighter
But let us remember to come down into our souls during the holidays

Free your minds from the bondage of a game plan that calls for
running a hurry up offense of shopping sprees, coupled with a
emphasis on buying material gifts for friends and relations

It is wise to practice letting go of impulses to shop till you drop
in alignment with a manic black Friday mentality . . .

Sometimes, the real gifts are about exchanging the
treasures of a heartfelt presence

Feathering Our Collective Ripple with Turkey

The American election season is over, and yet another big business
candidate Trumped changing demographics and predicted voting trends yet again

Movement into a New Age continues, albeit not without
conservative values seeking to establish issues of security and order

But the population is aroused . . .
We all have our part to do to make a more fair and just society

Where we can celebrate our unique, diverse expressions of Great Spirit

Fear is spreading like wildfire,
while climate change is upon us

Protestors are marching in the streets
People are understandably afraid of losing ground

Remember that Turkey is here to ward off dark energies and evil spirits
Let them go and release their strings clinging from your energy field

Although squirrels might have a different perspective
Like the boasting of thieves after a looting

Remember without the roaring fire of laughter
There would be no spiritual warriors

It is hard to be seduced by the dark side with an attitude of gratitude

The harvest is in with an abundant attraction of
positive self talk echoing in the winds

Beaver

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

Seeing Through The Smokescreen With Weasel Energy

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

Fading Further Into the Black with Cat

Cat guides us whiskers first into a historically spirited
time of year in the Northern Hemisphere . . .

Ancestors might be revisiting you in spook free zones
Are you able to see from fearless perspectives in this New Moon?

May we bear witness to a metaphorical thinning of the veils
between spirit and material realms

Cat’s curious eye sees when to step back and watch before pouncing . . .
Their energy is good medicine for responding versus reacting to situations at hand

They seem to intuitively know how to live in the present moment . . .
Always ready to adjust themselves in extraordinary feminine fashion

Has the current American election season brought your
attachment to outcome and cauldron of negative emotions to the surface?

Express yourself!
Otherwise, a def jam of festering resentments booms from your base

Might as well let go of what you do not have control over
But fear of dark caves of unknowing can be terrifying for folks

Cats remind us of the mystery and magic in our Universe . . .
Energetic and sacred, you can’t always make sense out of what is arriving

It’s easier to see dark and stormy weather
and forget that the sun still hides in spots maybe shady to the conscious mind

Black symbolizes primal movement into the dark . . .

Daylight savings time ends, as days get darker until the
Winter Solstice after a long December

Become the ancestral energies that reawaken gospels of
light that fire up the blues within

May we remember the passing of our loved ones . . .
Pets and animals seem to instinctively know how to love us unconditionally

The Samhain marks the mid-point between Autumn Equinox and Winter Solstice
It’s getting colder out, and some people hear chimes of winter blowing in the wind

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

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

Black Crow Like Me

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 . . .
