Today as we begin to walk into the work week, Grandfather Sun steps into the seventh spot this morning. Slowly sliding into our sky view it is reminding us to be kind to ourselves after the intense energy of the weekend is behind us…just remember that the energy is still running a muck as my Grandfather used to tell me. So with that in mind allow the feel of Grandfather Sun’s energy to lighten the negatives and strengthen our core values.
Grandfather Sun reminds us to remain strong in our convictions and do not allow mistrust of your intuition to detour you from the goals of the day. If you cater to your strengths instead of feeding insecurity and fear… the day will be on your side!
Grandfather Suns’ healing rays can gently warm our sore muscles and bones, reminding us to be grateful for the miracles of life… or it can be brutal and harsh showing us that we must care responsibly for life itself. Careful to shield ourselves from negatives of the world around us. Whatever the case may be as we continue our daily walks… take a moment to rejoice and soak up some energy today … as Grandfather shouts to us, “Hoka Hey Life is Good… Life is Sacred!”
Grandfather Sunis very important to all of us. The sun has been looked upon as the giver of light, heat, welcomed by the crops that are planted and all of the Plant People and bring about growth. The rays of the sun also represent the cardinal directions, North, South, East and West..
So as it enters our space here today and in days to come, Grandfather Sun brings with him the Creator’s Healing Grace. He shines and sends shadows and negativity away. The warmth it provides us is like a mother’s hug wrapping around us to say everything is gonna be alright.
Today have a bit of faith, open your hearts to experience the good in the world and let the shadows of negativity dissipate from the light of your soul. Feel what is strong and powerful in your selves and let that positive shine for the world to see. Allow your growth to continue, experience the strength from within that we all have, that although it may be being tested at the moment, still has what is needed to get through it all.
Breathe and feel his fingers upon your faces as Grandfather Sun freely gives us the power he provides unconditionally. Enjoy your day and don’t let dark clouds detour you from your goals!

So this morning I asked the Ancestors and Spirit to help guide us through the weekend… the energy has been so up and down, in and out that I thought it would be interesting to see what they would have to offer. So the first card to present in the 7th place was the Moose!
I love the Moose they are so amazing, they carry themselves so majestically. Bringing to light the fact we all need to take responsibility for ourselves, our actions, our words our deeds. No one is making us do/say anything…we are the ones making our own choices of how to act and react. So Own it, take care in how we move through our moments in our lives. It is important to remember that as the energy of today swirls… be thoughtful in choices made.
The second card to fall into the 7th place was the Parrot! The Parrot continues to remind us we are setting examples for others to see as we interact with others and situations in our lives. It is a good thing if we take the higher road, respond in positives so that that flow of energy that is released by us generates a gentler and above all a smarter way of doing and saying things. So remember communication in all forms carries out into the surrounding world… so make it all count!
The third card that presented in the 7th place was the Badger! It is all about being strong in our convictions that positives manifest more positives. To allow ourselves to heal self and balance. That not one of us is exactly the same… and with that our differences should not keep us apart, but rather makes us stronger. Bringing balance by strengthening each others weaknesses.
That is why we all are important to the balance of the world… each holding together a common thread of humanity. So remember that as the energy tugs at making each of us a bit irritable…it will get better if we allow it to, the choice is up to us.

Moose expresses for us to regain love for ourselves and others by accepting each person’s differences as unique and part of the puzzle that is life. Without each other, we would have no purpose. It is time to lead by example, it is time to care for our great Mother Earth and all that dwells upon her, for we were merely lent Her resources, and given guardianship over Her… something we sorely forget.
Moose asks us why we do not understand why things are the way they are in the world today… for all we have to do is open our eyes to see. Then as Moose takes leave, it asks us all to accept responsibility for our role in it all and begin to assist in the healing of not only the planet but ourselves.
Moose what some view as gentle and cuddly are far from it! (Other than the stuffed toy ones that is!) They are true to themselves and set the example for their young. They are reminding us today to do just that, set the example… and instill in them the lessons and foundations that they need to have to move forward in life in a good and strong manner. We are responsible for each step and the chain reactions that we cause, no one else.
Our Elders and Ancestors have experienced much so we could be here… but not for us to hold onto the negatives they endured here as they walked among us, but rather so we would become stronger and wiser. Moose reminds us to remember the lessons so we do not have to relive them over and over again!
Moose reminds us of Life and the inner Strengths that each and everyone of us has deep down in our Soul’s. Moose is all about listening to our instinct and remaining in balance when using our strength, for sometimes situations call for gentle strength and at other times it calls on us to be fierce! They remind us to look to our Elders, our Wise ones in and around our Sacred Hoops for advice and perspective.
As large as Moose are they are still graceful in movement, stealth and quick when called for. That is a huge lesson for us to learn as we walk the Human. It isn’t always about being first, or always thinking that our way is the only way… it is about honoring and respecting all points of view and then choosing the most positive for you. Knowing our Soul’s true purpose is to walk in positives and experience life itself. Moose tells us to be proud of who we are as individuals and let no one tell you that you are less than.
Moose encourages us to be true to ourselves and who we are… Self Love is one of the hardest things to attain for many, so get your bootstraps, pull them up and walk proudly for who you are and remember it isn’t about ego, it isn’t about what others see in us… it is about balance and pride in the positives we are able to step forward in.
Parrot want us to remember is that actions, deeds, words are mimicked by those around you. What we often fail to remember is that we are responsible for setting the tone or mood for the world around us. If we are confident and pleasant… things will reflect that in our daily walks. If we are negative and bitter our world becomes shaded and chaotic… full of negatives that spread like a disease. So be mindful of the imprints we all leave on the world around us today, and be a more positive part of it not only for yourself but for others as well.
Parrot assists us in seeing that possibilities are endless as we walk the human. Sharing with us that we need to open ourselves up and communicate with the world around us. The Parrot teaches us to look at situations and opinions that are different than yours. It is all about hearing what we are listening to so that we may learn what we can accomplish, what we are capable of. To go outside of our boundaries of what we may right now consider normal. Because different, extraordinary may just be our New Normal!
Parrot brings us reminders about what is in the power of Father Sun and the healing energy that is offered. They share with us the understanding that will help balance and find harmony with all life around us. Aligning our Sacred Hoops with the pure joy and magic of all things possible.
Badger shows up reminding us that we all must trust in our abilities utilize them to take on challenges that show up in our journeys. It is time to step away from our hiding places we have created and show the world what we are made of. Remember what is important to us and who we are as unique individuals that have a place in this world.
The message Badger brings is loud and clear… walk your own path to the beat of your own drum. Have faith in yourself and your talents and abilities. Know that you handle any challenge that shows up. Who cares what others say. Come out from hiding and start taking names and numbers.
Aggressiveness and the willingness to fight for what you want in this life and that is what Badger has to teach us. Just how to temper it and apply the right kid of pressure when needed and when to make a stand. Badger teaches us to use our healing abilities to push forward in positives in life and to aggressively move the obstacles that are in our way even if we are the ones that have placed them there.

So the Medicine Bag falls in the 7th place today to remind us to follow the high road as the energy of negativity swirls around us all today. Remember to not allow things to raise your emotional state of anger for it will serve no one today in a good way. Sometimes we need to look inside our power, our tool kits… at what Medicine we carry with us in our Medicine Bags, metaphorically or in actuality. For doing so will allow us to walk in balance, attract what is needed to our lives in all aspects.
So the Medicine Bag also reminds us to check in with what we carry with us… is it still serving us? Or perhaps things need to remind us to be the best person we can be even at the times it is hardest to do so. We want a better world, then we must start with self. So today and all the days forward, remember who we are meant to be…not what others want or expect, for it is not their journey.
A Medicine Bag ( also called a Medicine Pouch) is traditionally a small pouch filled with talismans such as stones, herbs, found objects, personal memorabilia and its purpose is protection, to remind us of our human and All that is Sacred and to assist us in healing and keeping our Sacred Hoops in balance. Native Americans have carried these bags for centuries, but in recent years, they’ve also become popular in our modern day culture but most are unaware of the intent/purpose of them.
Traditionally a Medicine Bag or bundle contains something from the plant, animal and mineral kingdoms and from the life of a person. Meant to be kept close to your person so that the spiritual power surrounds you and becomes one with your energy. In a sense it becomes one with who you are. What goes onto the bag is your personal medicine, things you draw “power” from that will aid you as you walk your paths. If you receive one as a gift, the maker or person gifting it should add something of their own to help you on your journey.
Understand that a traditional Medicine Bag is Sacred. The bag should not be opened by anyone else. It is up to the individual whose bag it is if they choose to take items out in order to share with others the story behind them, or to use them for healing purposes. Each item is considered Sacred and is meant to assist its owner with power and spirituality while they walk the Human. Allowing others to access the bag and it’s contents, ‘steals’ the power and lessons its intent for the owner.

Today the Desert Wolf/Coyote steps in to tell us to remember how we are made and put together. Have a bot-o-faith in ourselves as the day can be positive if we make it so! Sometimes the fear of the unknown helps to hold us back from the things we can become, the things we can do, the things we can dream of… so we have to remember to let go of the fear, for every step we take is an adventure, something new to add to our experiences.
Dessert Wolf/Coyote reminds us today that if we simply believe in who we are and trust our souls to tell us when something is not right or even better yet feels like it is a good thing… we need to honor that and not continue feeding fears that are made up within ourselves!
So harness the positives of the day and make it a good one for you and your Sacred Circles….!!!
Desert Wolf also known as Coyote, as trickster, comes to us this day to share its wisdom’s, teaching us that it is sometimes a good thing to laugh at oneself in order to not get caught up in the pain that sometimes comes with life choices and lessons. It is about finding the balance of learning what life teaches and has to share, and when it is time to relax, enjoy and have some fun.
Desert Wolfteaches us to be stealth and observe what we need to see, opening our senses to see the bigger picture of a situation. They speak of using distraction to change outcomes to more positive ones, by utilizing intelligence and good common sense, which often many do not take the time to stop and remember. One of the most amazing skills they offer us is the use of voice and communication to let ourselves be heard, but to also warn that at times, when people use their voices it can be for hidden agenda’s that will not be in positive tones. So pay attention, listen closely so that you may understand and decipher what it is that is actually being said and stay adaptable to what must be done in the situation.
Desert Wolf tells us above all make sure we look at our own self, walk in positives not in deceptive or manipulative ways to get what you want. Look at what truly is motivating you, be honest with self and then stand in the Sacred Hoop to balance. Remembering what you do to respect self, will mirror to the world around you.

Thick skin is called for today Crocodile tells us… while we are about or day, the energy will shift and leaves us in an emotional place of trying to figure out if we did, said or responded in the proper way. Don’t second guess yourself, just lead with your best and you will not be detoured or misguided, because it is not always about us.
Crocodile also reminds us sometimes the best response to situations and people is simply to be there, make your presence known but allow the energy that is needed to be drawn from you. This way what is needed will be available and appreciated. So just remember that we need to stand in our place of power and understand that it does not have to be wielded like a sword of might to be useful.
Also sometimes we need to remind ourselves it is okay to walk away and not feel guilt. Doesn’t mean that we are seeking bad for another, just means that we have moved in another direction, and their energy does not work with ours anymore. Crocodile says enough is enough, stop spinning worry about it….because it simply is.
The Crocodile is one of the oldest creatures and has been around for ions. The wisdom and survival skill it has taken for them to live through centuries of change is something we should look closely at as they are here to teach us as human as well. Crocodile teaches us sometimes we need to reach deep within to our primal energy, things that are instinctive to move through our paths. It speaks to us of our breathing patterns to take time to take that deep breath in order to bring balance to our minds and bodies.
Crocodile is a protector and keeper of All Knowledge. So it is time to tap into what it is we need in order to inspire, manifest and walk our dreams and ambitions. Remember patience and to allow yourself time to adapt to change that may show up in your life at this time. It is a time of growth and regeneration. It is time to expand and use what you instinctively know for emotional healing, for self and perhaps even to those that you may encounter in your days.
Crocodile speaks to knowing when to roll with what life throws at us, when to show patience, when to dig deep and when it is time to wallow in mud to allow healing and regeneration, transformation to bring about healing and a new part to our journeys. Honor your soul’s journey, from other lifetimes into our current path and continuing on as we gather energies and knowledge moving forward in positives to experience life in many forms.
Blessings to All,
bear

The beautiful Clownfish enters in today to tell us to snuggle in and take a good look into what our life has been to this point. Clean out the negatives and things that are holding us back, change things that need to be tweaked a bit so we are more in line with our goals and things that we want to attract to our lives.
What are the relationships in and around our Sacred Circles all about? Are they Healthy or do we need to rethink them and change them up? The Clownfish is all about the symbionic relationships that are best for it in order to stay healthy and thrive in there community. So it brings to us this day just that… take the time and opportunity to fine tune everything about you today. It’s okay for life is all about continuous change!
The Clown Fish and Anemone fish share their spiritual guidance with us to assist us in finding and understanding wisdom, knowledge and teachings that can will help us to overcome the challenges that we face in life. The Sea Anemone is known as the flower of the ocean, yet has deadly thorns, yet the Clown Fish fearlessly takes refuge within her grasp. Bright and vibrant in appearance the Clown Fish is widely known for its bright orange/yellow coloration and bright white stripes. Together they are a formidable pair with the use of beauty as camouflage they teach us the ability to hide within dangerous situations and to move carefully through our lives.
They teach us that things can appear as one thing and be something totally different. Do not be quick to jump to assuming the worst and make sure to watch for hidden obstacles and dangers as you tread through a given situation. They assist us with keeping safe from negativity. None of us are danger proof. All of us are prone to encounter difficult situations that we should/could avoid. Sometimes it is better to move to a safe position than directly confronting something. It doesn’t show weakness, quite the opposite it shows strength of character and wisdom.

Listen in to Morning Blessings over on Blogtalk Radio and share some positives to your day!
So today was a two for one… and not only did they show up in the cards this morning but showed up in my yard at the same time I was tossing the cards for the day! So I guess that means we need to listen close to what they are sharing.
So today the Heron says be mindful of how you step through the day… people will be more sensitive in how they perceive things and are itching for an argument. So take your time and keep opinions to yourself if they might ruffle feathers. Better to step carefully and thoughtfully than to push things where they do not have to go.
Then as the Heron was walking in front of me at the lakeshore… the Doe decided to come in to the water’s edge for a drink and to say hello, nodding to Boonie as he was laying at my feet (my dog for those of you who are not aware of who Boonie is) and she said as you are being mindful of others also remember to not take thing personally today either.
The energy that is out today is kind of off a bit so take care and just be gentle with yourself throughout the day… simply stick to what you do and leave the rest of the world to it. Don’t get wrapped up in other people’s nonsense. Be incontrol of the outcomes of the day rather than letting the outcomes control you!
Heron brings with it the strong connection to the Great Mother Earth. It teaches us to channel that inner strength and using it to ground and remain strong in the course. Be strong and balance so that you can accomplish many things at the same time.
Heron shares with us the ability to become independent and self reliant, yet knowing when to change and adapt in life when needed. Follow your own path, not necessarily the direction that others tell you to walk. You have this, and are capable.
They teach us to be comfortable in our own being, and happy. To love self and understand we are all worthy of good and positive things. Typically they spend much time on their own, but know that it is at times better to be more social and step out of their comfort zones to add experiences and keep the balance of all things in their Sacred Hoop.
Use your steps wisely as the Heron does, and take advantage of the exact moment when it is time to move in a positive motion on your path
Sacred is about just that taking care of the Sacred Within each of us, the Doe always takes time to nurture self, it’s family. It finds calm places to recenter and relax. To enjoy it’s surroundings. They bring with them a grace and elegance, but can stand fierce and protective when it is called for. But if you simply tool time to watch the world and all the beauty in it and around you, for just a moment… you would see that there are more positives than you realize.
The Doe is an animal that is especially close to my heart walking with me often in real time and in spirit. It reminds us always about the gentleness that is needed as we walk the human. It is a reminder for us all to utilize more sensitivity when dealing with the world and the people around us. Take a moment to stop, breathe and observe your surroundings, your life, and a situation before stepping ahead.
Sometimes that awareness is needed to be able to step into it in a positive way. When encouragement is needed it is often received better with a gentle nudge than a shove or push. Open heartedness is the way of the Doe… loving all unless given a reason not to. The Doe shares with us the wisdom of listening, grace and appreciation for the true balance of our own Sacred Hoops and that of the world around us all.
I am dedicated to Educating and sharing the lessons, teachings and culture I have been taught by my Elders and journey with the World. It is not enough merely to learn the ways of our Elders. We must honor those traditions by sharing and educating the World. Inspiring others …Inspiring our Youth. Through the Music… the Arts…the stories…
