Bear Like Me Walks Along the Trails

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

Last week’s Full Harvest Moon and Lunar Eclipse wanes O’er the skies
Consciousness descends into dimming lights in the Northern Hemisphere

The shades of Autumn Equinox reflect balance of Masculine and Feminine

Bear medicine can help you know when to back off and when to assert yourself
Picture a Bear to stand in your own personal authority

Remember that a Yinward bound train gains momentum until Her climax
Deep into the caves of December on Winter Solstice

Boundaries are always an important opportunity for a mindful walking meditation

Darker nights symbolize a letting go of action-oriented yang
A sleepier time of the year reveals a thinning of the veils

The discrepancy between the material and spirit realm fades away

Our friends in the Southern Hemisphere will paradoxically
see more Light on their horizon
Souls are feeling more energized and intense there

Look to nature to nurture relationships within yourself and others
It is wise to move with our pain or we end up not moving at all

Rooting into the earth of our inner human potential . . .
Reflects that Life tastes as sweet as honey!

See you later on the trails,

Ari

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!

Slithering into New Holes with Snake

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

A Full Buck Moon fades into the backdrop
Peak light on the Summer Solstice sets further away on the horizon . . .

Here in Maine, Governor Paul LePage and company
represent developmentally delayed politics

Currently, we witness a parallel process unfolding
in the presidential candidacy of overt bigot Donald Trump

Now back to business with the Clinton’s . . .
Did they really go anywhere?

The torch of a smoldering Bernie Sanders campaign
cannot be extinguished entirely

Because the political waves of social-democratic change is a rising tide
of a New Age consciousness that is still weathering labor pains

Venoms and poisons are toxic to our planet
Paradoxically, we all have an opportunity for personal transformation

May we rework success from an inside out perspective!

We are living in an era where
we are shedding dead skins from a passing old world

In that, an awakening New Earth is cross-pollinating

Don’t buy into the reptilian fear-based mental tapes
that saturate the public mind

Is an alternative vote for someone other than
the proverbial lesser of two evils really a wasted vote?

Or just an energetic vote that moves closer to love and further away from fear?

See the truth of oneness through the eyes of love, light and laughter . . .

See you further on up the trails,

Ari

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

Waxing Gratitude Following a Waning Fragrant Full Flower Moon

Posted on by under Consciousness, Native American, Original Poetry, Original Prose, Shamanism, Uncategorized

Thank you to all of you who have supported the energy of this blog.

It has been a process, and I could not have done it without
your encouragement and co-creation.

In fact, this forum has inspired the recent publication of my first book,
accompanied by my Aunt Barbara’s beautiful animal pictures.

And I would like to thank my wife Kristen, for her Earth. I deeply appreciate her grounding force in my life!

As such, I have chosen to take a break from this week’s posting to
allow us to sit with and celebrate the arrival of this walking meditation.

In the meantime, I look forward to seeing you up the trail head next week with new material,

Colorful Vision Rises with Turkey Vulture

Posted on by under Native American, Shamanism, Uncategorized

Turkey Vulture flies in the skies this week,
in concert with a blossoming Full Pink Moon on Friday . . .

Spring is here in the Northern Hemisphere
and a colorful world is blossoming before our eyes

Psychically hang glide with Mother Earth’s thermals with minimal effort . . .

This signals an opportune time for a general
Spring Cleaning through the Moon’s last quarter

Purification, death-rebirth, new vision and connections to a
marital relationship with Heaven and Earth is awakening

Take in a living breath of oneness . . .
Exhale the dead air of segregationist thinking

Outward expansion of Yang’s expressiveness
Gives rise to powerful intuitive feminine song bird vocals

The resourceful ways of Turkey Vultures reflects
renewable energy and a natural conservation of our environment

May the political and business interests reflect the wisdom of Turkey Vulture!

Their medicine of disease prevention is best practice

Meditate on levitating above the physical laws of the material realm
So that we can release old ways that no longer serve

Walk in alignment with your own roots sinking into Mother Earth
Let any negative energies flow down into Her for renewable compost

Connect with ancestors whom have passed on . . .

May their spirits guide us into a unified playing field
reflecting a Heaven and Earth connection that we can see
with individual and collective eyes

A flooding of emotional memories from when they were living comes on like waves
Picture surfing them to gain a deeper appreciation for the living moment

Till next week takes flight,

Ari

A Self Protective Shell with Turtle Provides Safe Haven as a Spirit Guide

Posted on by under Native American, Shamanism, Uncategorized

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

See you further on up the trails,

Ari

Dolphin Trails

Posted on by under Native American, Shamanism, Uncategorized

Dolphin guides our souls into the watery wake of a waning Snow Moon
The time is Now to cultivate an agile mind and balance our heads and hearts

Shortly arriving Spring Eclipse season sings mystical melodies to our souls
in the primal key of sound frequencies attuned to our emotional feeling-states

Meditation on Dolphin can help you communicate effectively

Look at those words that want to jump out of your mouth . . .

Take a deep breath and be mindful of how you speak

Dolphin swims in the deep feminine waters of creation, passion and sexuality
In much the same way of the peaceful warrior . . .

Dolphin builds power gradually and is released through softness

Just be mindful of deep belly breathing –
Trust your gut . . . and let it relax

Sonar is subatomic hearing through our heart-mind

What is your Self saying to yourself?

Surf the curious, intellectual and intuitive waves with Dolphin’s guidance

Know your uniqueness within Oneness

We are one human family and collective consciousness . . .

Our imperfections and eccentricities are what make us unique

Breath out yesterdays old ghosts and wounded demons
that have haunted the better devil you know

Take back any outward projections and release their energies

Breath in the sunlit clouds of mutability into your Being . . .

Altered states and New Dimensions are accessed through deep belly breathing

Become carefully mindful of your submerged thoughts
The shadow-building of unconsciousness is polluting our world

But isn’t that obvious?

Becoming the change you want to see in the world is a good mantra to live by

Masculine and feminine energies will flow together
in tides of synchronized oceanic swimming

On Spring Equinox in later March . . .

Regardless of where you are at on the spectrum of consciousness . . .

Just learn to Love everything and become the revolutionary change
that swims in through fluid empathic hate-free zones

Till the next trailhead,

Ari

A Whale of a Tide Rolling In

Posted on by under Native American, Shamanism, Uncategorized

Whale guides us into deeper seas of our shared collective consciousness
May we be hip to the presence of the multidimensional wavelengths of Mother Earth

Their sonar is an empathic connection to Her planetary heartbeat

Exhale dead air and breathe in a sailor’s delight

Whales give good pod casts on healthy family matters
We are redefining family and learning to pool our resources together . . .

Through Whale medicine, we hear inside ourselves with deeper insights
Our sensitivities are powering up in the Tao of now

Spring astrological Eclipse storms are brewing
the winds of change are blowing in the air

The jet streams of nouveaux energies
want to light the torches of chi that surrounds and binds us

As luminous beings, may we awaken our “liminal” experiences
that were perhaps previously submerged underwater

A Full Snow Moon appears in the skies
As Nature’s sunlight is rising

Do you feel the underground weather heating up?

On Spring Equinox . . .
Light and dark forces will be in transient balance

Picture Whale cresting near a shoreline
beneath the bounty of a mountain range

Take in this Divine Love into your hearts

Whale blows steam into the waters of an egalitarian New Earth
May our medicine shields release and let-go of
dualities and relax tendencies to demonize ill-perceived enemies

Imagine floating cities flowing with free and clean energy
with equal access to resources . . .

See these possibilities crest on our horizon –
Revealing a New World of healthy Galactic interdependence

We are polarized right now on Planet Earth
The American political stage is no exception . . .

Art imitates reality with Trump and Sanders playing on opposite sides of the
political football field, while the other players cluster somewhere in the middle

One wants to rigidly build more divisive boarders and the other wants to facilitate
safe passage and increased traffic flow through egalitarian causeways

The Military-Industrial Complex and its group psychology of mass manipulation
Takes an authentic look at itself and realizes

Now is the time to relax the rigid and
compartmentalized grip on the public mind

Do you have the faith to allow the universal pillars of Love and Truth set you free?

Nurturing program development of a spiritually reflective lens of Self
Facilitates movement into the creative waters of an actualized soul potential

See that our suffering is largely a product of “the ghettos of the mind”

Till we meet again at the trail head,

Ari
