So this work week starts out with the Medicine Wheel and it is all about attaining personal balance! It is time to place our own selves into positive perspectives and balance. The energy we must gravitate to and harness is available to us, we just have to want to work with it.

The world around all of us churns in negatives and chaos, but we must remove ourselves from that state of mind and feed our souls things that will help us grow as humans in ways that will be positive and life fulfilling. So reach out and grab onto positive things, act instead of reacting, teach the right way of things instead of being angry, and most of all be able to look deep inside and see our flaws and arrogance at the things we are perhaps being driven by ego to do or say, instead understand we all need to reconnect as human and understand that we are all different with different perspectives of life to contribute.

So remember the circle represents life ever changing ever evolving… no beginning, no end rather growth and cycles that we must learn and carry forward in balance. We have a Spiritual Self, a Physical Self, an Emotional and Mental Self, and all of it combines to create our Human Self. So let’s remember to balance that in order to be our Best Selves!

So the Circle has meant similar things to many various cultures throughout time and continues to do so. So no matter what culture we are standing in, what Spiritual Side we utilize in our lives, we are more alike than perhaps many are willing to admit.

Whether it is the Winged Ones, the Four Leggeds, the Plant People, the Crystal and Rock Keepers, the Swimmers or Creepers we all evolve together in the harmony that we were born to. The four lines in the Wheel speak to us of the four directions, the four colors to the cultures and the four parts of our human, the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual being. To understand the Medicine Wheel is to understand self.

This is what we need to understand, that the strengths, the creative, the spiritual, the faults, the imperfections all lie with in each of us. They are all part of who we are, constantly evolving. As a wheel is circular and continues in a constant state of birth to death constantly moving through change, so are we. To understand that about ourselves is how we are to attain balance.

To understand that we are All Connected that we All imprint on the world, the energy that we exist in is to understand the nature of how things co-exist. That there has to be opposites for balance…light and dark. rain and heat, night and day, birth and death… All a intricate part of the Human experience.

Ask yourself what is it that you need to day to add to the positives in your own life, what is it you need in order to set your mind to in order to keep the negative at bay? So today, look to yourself and think about how each word, each action, each breath you take is part of a bigger Hoop, then think what it is You need to do to put your own Circles into a place of balance with all that is Sacred honoring who you are meant to be.

Many Blessings to You All,

The Turkey stops in today in the seventh place to remind us we need to take care of ourselves before we can take care of others, that is a necessity otherwise we wind up depleting ourselves and then not being able to be there at other times when we are needed. We are taught as a society that we must give to others first and place ourselves last… but that make no sense when we stop for a moment to think about it.

Take for example metaphorically speaking that is… that we are a well on our property and people come to us all the time for water. The good people that we are we continue to give our water supply away not stopping to hold some for ourselves and our families. Then we are left, unable to help anyone else because we can not even help ourselves. We need to learn to ration our energies… holding something back and that is not selfish that is smart. For then as we are taken care of we are strong enough, well enough and balanced enough to figure out other ways of assisting others.

So today… Turkey advises us to take care of self…feed from your wells of creativity, thoughtfulness, kindness and compassion and set to your life a balance that is needed by setting ego aside and not worrying about others expectations, but rather focusing on your own.

Turkey shines the light on we need to prepare for the upcoming seasons so they will be more stress free than stressful! How do we do that??? Well we can start by settling in and getting done what needs to be done. Once that happens then we can go about assisting the people within our own Life Circles… stop being distracted by outside noise!

The Turkey represents Family, nurturing and care for self and others. It is about abundance and strengthening bonds. They represent renewal and teach us to care for others and through that we will imprint and open new avenues for positive growth and opportunity. But once again we must learn to honor that process.

No matter what others are setting the tone for, we must learn to listen to our souls voice to achieve our hopes, dreams and aspirations for the higher good. This is not always an easy thing to do because we are always being pressured to move with the masses, be a sheep and follow the herd.

We must learn to take risk and allow our own voices to be heard above the crowds at times. For there are times to sit, watch and listen in order to learn how to move forward…and there are times to stand up and shout purpose and positives so others may wake. Turkey also shares with us the lessons of living harmoniously with the Great Mother Earth and all that dwells on her surface. To assist in keeping the balance between it all.

Turkey also speaks to us of making sure we keep our ego in check and that although we should be proud of self, love self, there is no reason to flaunt what we are or have to others. Honor the sacrifices we make, honor the family we have…and be thankful for All that is Sacred! Embrace your families and your community because in doing so our Humanity is fed in positives.

I am bear Medicinewalker and 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…”

Today the Scarab tells us to dig a little deeper…push a little harder and get it done. Perhaps the day will be filled with introspect… perhaps it is needed to understand self and what we need to discard in order to move forward and let positives in. Whatever it may be, honor the process and understand the reasons behind it all.

Sometimes we hold on to the pain and memories because it is how we have put ourselves into a cycle… a cycle of negatives and things that will continue to take a toll on us. So Scarab reminds us that the lesson is long gone, the people that may have affected us in negative ways are in need of removal, the toxic stuff that eats away at our true self needs to be flushed from our system. So understand says the Scarab that we ARE Strong enough to get it done we simply have to believe it and do it.

Scarab also reminds us we often do not like change even if it is from something we are seemingly stuck in …cycling continuously through… because we are comfortable there even if it isn’t a healthy place to be in, it’s better to us than our fears of the unknown step or place, or so we make it seem. ut today is the day we need to stop putting off moving to a healthier space… today is the day we embrace the changes… cause whether we know it or not, change is constant even if we do not recognize it. So dig deep and get it done!

Scarab
There are aspects of change that are being pushed at you that are not necessarily about you and what is right for you. Look at the situation from all angles and look towards a compromise that works for all involved. The main issue is more than likely something that is ongoing and/or unresolved with family or friends that will require you to be part of even though you are in the background of things. You will act as a grounding influence. Remove yourself from the drama but instill yourself where needed.

The Scarab also brings you information of positive outcomes in your life for situations that may be present at the moment,. Stand your ground and soon all will be resolved with a positive and higher purpose.

So today I call to the Sacred Winds to carry our prayers, our thoughts, our needs …to Creator God and the Ancestors
To help us to walk in more positive manners,
Reaching to Embrace the Unconditional and knowing that we all are no better than or less than one another.
To be able to have strength of character in order to release aspects of our lives in order to allow new things to be given birth and grow.
So it is Said…So May It be So

Blessings to All
