Accessing Resources with Minimal Effort with Turkey Vulture

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

With Turkey Vulture, we are guided into a new world of purification and rebirth
We are moving into darker days, as reflected in our inner and outer worlds

Spread your wings like an angel to lift your energy field
to see above the treeline and see a silver lining

Let your fiery passions be quenched by the waters of compassionate patience

Many folks are grieving Turtle’s pace of social change,
while feeling that they are swimming against
a current that feels against progress

We want a better world than the hellish nightmare we hold in
our minds and hearts

A New World where our colorful diversity is celebrated
in the love and light of unity

It is true we did not start the fire
But as Rome burns, let us tune in to the key of inner peace

Our living planet needs to access more inner peace today

Let our population lighten up to the possibility of terrestrial,
foreign-born, alien brothers and sisters coexisting in harmony

But you can become part of the solution by relaxing your worries,
and replacing them with positive self talk

Now you might demonize various targets that you
perceive are surrounded by minions

Perhaps you might view darker forces that you view as the cause of
the malaise of our modern world

But empathy in action sees the pain beneath the veil of furrowed brows
Just as wise indigenous shamans saw beyond the smokescreen of
justified colonialism

Conservative forces naturally want to anchor,
and reign in our world’s changing tides

Try to remember that the overwhelming majority is working toward a common
goal of co-creating a better world for our planet and all sentient beings

People are working hard enough in the day-to-day grind

Just shift the way you look at the world around you
through a perspective of self-love

New Vistas with Hawk

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Fading Further Into the Black with Cat

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

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

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
