Spiritual and Totem Insights for the Day the Honey Bee

The Honey Bee serves a very specific purpose in life, it’s job is to pollinate plants and collect nectar to make Honey. It is what drives the continued life cycle of all the plants we see and use in our daily lives. It has been said that Bees are so important to our ecosystem that if they become extinct, humans would cease to exist as well soon afterward.

Time to look at ourselves to see if we are doing what we need to be doing, or if we are simply procrastinating and sitting on our preverbal butts. Seriously, are we doing what we should be in order to follow the path we are on, to complete our goals we have set? Is balance happening where we have time to savor life or are we just that worker bee and becoming the workaholic and forgetting to tend our own gardens?

Honey Bee reminds us to continue to be (no pun intended) productive in our lives while at the same time remembering to enjoy the results of all our hard work. Bees should not be able to fly for their tiny bodies are not designed aerodynamically, yet they don’t dwell on it rather they just DO. Bees also teach us about community. As they move from plant to plant, they help to continue the life cycle.

Honey Bee teaches balance with our lives, even though they are amazing workers; they also slow down to enjoy life. Reminding us that otherwise life’s purpose holds no meaning.

“Across the country and the world, many pollinators are in decline or at risk of extinction. It’s a serious issue because forests, prairies, meadows, wetlands, seashores and croplands all depend on a diverse and healthy pollinator community to thrive. Globally, nearly 85 percent of all flowering plants require help from animals to produce seeds and fruit. Without them, neither humans nor wildlife would have as much to eat and as a result the planet’s biodiversity would plummet.” ~ Gene Brandi, Bee Keeper

We need to be mindful of the Bee’s and assist them in thriving and continuing their work. We need to plant gardens, flowers that will assist the process for all the Creatures of the Great Mother Earth. WE need to become the Caretakers we are meant to be, and stop destroying the very ground we live upon.

Spiritual and Totem Insights for the Day the Frog


Today the Frog pops out of the deck, talking about preparing for the days ahead and making the most out of the days ahead to not only prepare but enjoy. Frogs are amazing and looking at them …knowing how nonthreatening they are to us, and their almost fragile appearance they have in our world, they come equipped with multiple ways to deal with even the most severe climates this planet has to offer. They can be found all around the globe from the Arctic Circle to deserts or tropical rain forests and everywhere in between. The way they survive is nothing short of ingenious. They learn to adapt and react with their environments!

So this is the lesson they are sharing today… we need to remember to adapt better to situations if we want better solutions! We need to remember we are not always right… so we need to learn to adapt and take care of self until the cycle rebirths us to newer and more positive opportunities. All about how we protect ourselves…adapt and roll to life’s twists and turns…So stay strong today, Stay Smart today and help generate positives not only in your world but the world you move within!

The Frog teaches us of transition and transformation, supporting us as we walk through times of change. Connecting us with the our deepest emotions and assisting us with the process of cleansing our physical, emotional, spiritual selves to attain balance.  The Frog represents the cycles of life, birth and rebirth. If we take a glimpse at the Frogs own journey through life from a tadpole to the adult state it mirrors the many cycles of transformation and rebirth in our own lives.

Frog assists us with the process of owning our own personal power. Recognizing it by cleansing ourselves of what no longer serves us and embracing with open arms what is now possible.

“I am Dedicated to Educating and sharing the culture with the World. It is not enough merely to teach 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…”
Many Blessings to ya’ll

Spiritual and Totem insights for the Day – Earth


Today the Great Mother Earth shows up waking us up to the point that we have fallen short in her caregiving. People ask continually what can I do…what can we do???? When in reality all you have to do is look within your own life to see the answer. Take care of our Air… stop using things and doing things that pollute it. Take care of the ground you walk on… pick up trash you see on the ground… plant and help things grow that will help the creatures of the Earth to flourish and stay strong… be aware of how we each impact the very world around us. Remember to care for her so the next 7 generations will still have her.

And also that today we need to pay attention to feeding our own souls, taking care of our own bodies, our emotional, physical and spiritual needs… they are even more important than eating that fast food extra super sized or that $7 coffee we roll through to grab from the local barista… Earth reminds us to be more careful to take care of the resources we have including self!

The Great Earth Mother shares with us all that we need to survive and walk the Human.  Earth shows itself from deep within the deck and appears as the seventh card.  Earth Medicines speaks to us of how we live our lives. About how we go about sharing your personality with the world around us. Our Hopes, aspirations and fears…how we embrace and live out our dreams.

Earth is not interested about what affects us, but rather teaches us to learn how to interact and balance with all that is Sacred.  How we go about honoring that precious balance of our Sacred Hoops and that of the larger complete Circle… life. It is whispering for us all to understand how everything inter relates to every living and breathing thing here on the Great Mother. From the smallest creature to the largest tree that stands on the tallest mountain that has the clearest water running down its sides in order to replenish the Earth.

Earth speaks to the understanding of the Medicine Wheel, as a foundation to how we build our lives and walk it. It teaches us our strengths and weaknesses. Earth shows us that sometimes no matter what is going on around us we need to center and ground our souls, allowing the energy to move us in positives. To fill our beings with what has been provided to us, simply understanding that all we need has been shared… we do not own it… but rather have been given the gift of caring for… Not only the earth we stand on …but the human form we dwell in.

So today remind yourself to take care of self. Nurture and care for what has been shared with us in order to sustain a healthy balance of Mind, Body and Spirit. Fill your days with positive ritual, pray often, communicate with others clearly and in positives, awaken your minds and souls to what is, rather than what we may think. Learn to be forgiving and more unconditional with self and others for it will help nurture good things to grow such as Love and Faith in each other, in community.

Earth teaches us to stand tall as the Redwoods… as dignified as the Mountains…to learn to flow as the rivers and waters of the Earth…gently some times and at others as a raging storm. whatever it may be…honor the Sacred, observe the lessons of the creatures that walk the planet… And most of all be thankful for all we have been given in order to walk our human.

“I am Dedicated to Educating and sharing Culture with the World. It is not enough merely to teach 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…”

Spiritual and Totem Insights for the Day the Turtle


Today the Turtle wanders onto the path to share with us that sometimes we need to ponder what is happening around us before we act on it. Sometimes it is worth slowing down our emotions so that our logical and the more observant part of our brains kicks into gear so that we can understand things from all angles. Things aren’t always as they appear at first glance and we owe it to ourselves to collect all the facts so we have a clearer picture of what is going on.

Often we are ready to just ignore things because we just are impatient and want things done quickly, but as Turtle teaches us it is not often the way to move forward in positives, for when we are quick to move or act … that is when we tend to miss things and then stumble into the negative patterns that life throws at us.

So slow down today… bask in the sun a bit and consider all things that will impact your decisions and your life circle. After all aren’t we all worth that time and consideration? Don’t know about you …. but I am!
Turtle teaches us that we need to remember to walk our paths slow and steady with determination, for if we do our goals will surely be met. They remind us that sometimes it is best to walk on solid ground strong and precise with each step, and at other times it is better to dive into the waters and swim with the current allowing life to assist us in that forward motion.

Turtle helps us to ground reminding us that slowing down and pacing each step will help us build confidence for as we walk at this pace, we will see more of what is being shared with us by the world around us… knowledge of the “Old Ones”. Slowing our pace, calming our breath, listening to our heartbeat, centering our spirit so that we are in balance and sync with the rest of our world.

Turtles remind us that what we need is provided for us, that we need to remember the beginning, the simple and honor all that is Sacred, for it is part of who we all are. Be humble, grateful and make the most of what we have and what we are offered.

Spiritual and Totem Insights for the Day the Bobcat

Bobcat Medicine shares with us about being alone and yet not being lonely. It is about taking time for self to grow, learn, renew, and do…but for self rather than spreading ourselves so thin we forget to take care of us.  Bobcat speaks to us about taking some time for self. Alone time is okay to do… we simply often forget to do just that… take time for just us. The Bobcat speaks to taking a break away from the public eye.

Bobcat people often become the keepers of knowledge and secrets, with that comes great responsibility and they must learn never to break the code of confidence. For when trust is broken, emotional pain and issues will be blown out of proportion. So keep the secrets and keep the code of silence, and thus teaching how to honor the trust that has been given.

Bobcats teach us how to turn on and off our creative sides, and how to balance the darkness and light. Sometimes we need to keep silent about our gifts and abilities, so don’t broadcast to the world what it is you can do. Verbalizing takes the power or energy of it away. Learn when and how to speak, what should and shouldn’t be said, and to whom. This is the most important teaching they share with us all if we are honored to have them share and teach us.

Psychometry (the ability to sense an object) and/or clairaudience (the ability to hear spirit) is also something they teach and share with us. To walk with Bobcat Medicine is a true honor that needs to be respected. Trust in your abilities and learn how to use them in positives.

Walk with Blessings and Peace…

Spiritual and Totem Insights of the Day the Siamese Fighting Fish

The card that showed today is the Siamese Fighting Fish!  Also known as Betta’s, colorful little swimmers that are always willing to show us a thing or two!

So today is about taking a deep breath and setting Ego’s aside, and to remember to choose what battles are important enough to fight…and which to let go of! Time to listen to that little voice inside that keeps yelling at us all. Think of the old cartoons of the little Angle sitting on one shoulder, and the little devil sitting on the other and remember this word BALANCE. It is important to understand dark and light and embrace all that resides within in order to find that perfect balance within our Sacred Hoops... our lives… we are human beings that are capable of amazing and wonderful things! However we have to learn to balance and understand that to everything there are two sides and then what lies in between…balance and truths.

Remember that some battles we should not spend energy on for the Universe and God Creator will handle them. Often it is all about a little thing called, “KARMA” it’s a real thing believe it or not. Remember that what we put out to the Universe is what is attracted and comes back to us ten fold! So set aside the Egos…we are All no better than or less than… we are All part of the world we live in and imprint on life every moment of every day, so lets make them positive imprints!

The Siamese Fighting Fish or Betta is known for its splendor and color. They are associated with the Element of Air, which some may find as odd but they are lung breathers. So they bring and share with us that there are times in our lives that we simply need to stop and breathe. The Betta reminds us to not get into situations so deep that you forget the core of the issues. Swim and enjoy the flow of life.

Balance our masculine energy with our feminine side as does the Siamese Fighting Fish as it is the male that tends to the young and cares for the nest, defending and nurturing them. Remember to nurture the young spirit within our souls.

Siamese Fighting Fish teaches us how to be independent, to stand up for what we believe in, utilizing our intuitive nature that is strongest when we are associated and form relationships with the element of Water. The relationship with the spiritual and the ability to open and hear what is being shared through visions, dream state or clairaudience.

It also teaches us to keep our ego in check, never feel you are better than or less than another for the Universe will bring balance if you do not honor it on your own, so remember that We Are All Related yet unique and Sacred.

“I am Dedicated to Educating and sharing culture with the World. It is not enough merely to teach 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…”

Spiritual and Totem Insights for the Day…Bear


Bear…Bear…Bearsays today is all about tying up the loose ends so that we can move forward without a hitch! Endings so that the new beginnings can start with a clean slate. Time to let all that crap we have been dragging along with us go, it’s only emotional baggage that we have not allowed ourselves to process instead feeding the fear that if we do let it go, we will be lost. SO UNTRUE! Honor the process…honor what got us to the point today and understand it will always be a part of us, but that it does not define us nor does it serve us anymore. Can’t change yesterday… can simply use it as a lesson to change today and tomorrow.

Not sure about You All, but I rather be like a bear rolling in the grass smiling up at the sunshine as it kisses my skin than be in a dark cave somewhere mulling over and stewing about things that are seriously not really relevant in the moment. So Bear says BREATHE in the newness of the world that is now. Embrace the Moment and allow it to fill your soul with positives and adventure. Let your Creative side flow… let your Inner Child come out and play!

Bear shares to Be in the Moment….!!!

Bear is all about fertility (creative and manifestation), instinct, protection and solitude. Those that walk with Bear are often somewhat reclusive requiring a great deal of personal space to renew and create. Bear people will often “disconnect” for awhile as they pursue projects becoming deeply involved in what they are working on. Deeply protective and territorial, Bear also is extremely loyal and dependable.

Bear teaches us when healing of any sort is needed to use that time for introspective work in order to grow Spiritually, Emotionally, Mentally and find answers to problems within yourself. Travel deep into your soul find the purpose in your own path and journey and walk ahead in positive steps.

Bear shares with us that in this time hibernation is not only good but needed, yet respect our natural hibernation cycle and remember to reawaken in the spring, in doing so awaken the potential within ourselves and the power of our unconscious mind.

Bear teaches us there is a time for playfulness and a time to be assertive, and perhaps a time for both in balance.
