Spiritual and Totem Insights for July 24 2020 – the Hummingbird

So Hummingbird stops in today in the Seventh spot to ask us why the hurry? Why are we rushing through our lives missing all the amazing things that life is extending to us? So today the lesson that Hummingbird is sharing is it is time to slow down and restore our souls to accepting the beauty that is! Some things are often not obvious and sometimes we are quite oblivious to thing in our worlds yet Hummingbird insists as we stop to breathe today the reasons will become clearer later on. So allow yourselves to understand the intentions you set for your day! Hummingbirds are the gentle reminders of the in-between. Darting quickly here and there, experiencing life to the fullest. They are also wonderful examples of how to best utilize that energy, showing us there is time for everything… work… play… and most important of all rest.

The world pushes and pushes us each moment, sometimes so much it causes a negative outcome… that is when we need to recall the lesson of the Hummingbird the most, listen to the “Spirit World” as they whisper in our minds to slow down the pace… slow down the emotional that is racing through our systems and remember to Breathe!

With all the energy that has been swirling around us all, it is no surprise that the Hummingbird stops in today to share messages with us! Many of us out there have been experiencing all kinds of craziness and major energy shifts, it seems to be the nature of the world we live in lately. These shifts are often happening faster and sometimes moment to moment and causing us all to be a bit off balance (or at least to feel like we are on a boat that is rolling with the water as we try to regain our footing!  So we need to remind ourselves when this occurs to stop…take a breathe before we take another motion forward, rest a bit and save our energy.

So many negatives in our world today, and many we are not in control of. So the best thing that we can do is to control how we react to it all. Calm our minds, say a prayer or send out positive thoughts and try to keep our heads above it all. If we can manage that…we will be surprised just how many good things will occur in the ripple outwards.

Hummingbird, symbol of resurrection, rebirth as they live each day and as the blanket of night spreads over the lands, these little birds become lifeless and appear to die. As Father Sun begins to awaken the world, his warmth touches the tiny wings and this little bird once again rises to the tasks of the day. Teaching us there is time for work and then we must have time to rest in order to revitalize our souls, our bodies and our minds.

Hummingbird brings the lesson of Joy with them, teaching us to remember the Sacredness of all life and how fragile it is. To remind us we must keep our Sacred Hoops in balance and honor our paths by remembering to slow down at times to feed, to gather strength and energy. To move in positives to attain our dreams and goals but do it in efficient ways, smart ways, thought out ways. Hummingbirds do not walk or hop, their feet are tiny and do not function as other birds, this is so they can be more efficient than other birds at their tasks. So with them they bring efficiency and teach us adaptability as well.

Hummingbirds show themselves when it is time to live your dreams in Joy and Happiness, understanding that the Universe, Creator God and the Ancestors are there to help us all, but you have to have Faith that it will come to pass.

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… WE All need to become proactive in saving our planet, the creatures that live upon it, and each other

Blessings to You ALL,

Spiritual and Totem Insights for July 23 2020 – the Dove


Today as the Seventh Card shows itself to me I am reminded if it is Peace We All want then it is Peace we must seek. The Dove is sharing a lesson of constant reminder that our behavior reflects not only on us but is example to others. So it is a day we all must step up to the plate and show positive examples that can be mirrored and followed. If things are blocking your way, you must first understand that we need to look within ourselves first and see what it is that is preventing us from moving forward, or perhaps releasing old things that we no longer should be carrying. We need to learn to deal with it and release it so that it may recycle into the Universe and return to us in positives.

The Dove has long been associated with calm and peace. Peace within and peace during times of War. The Dove settles in and says make no doubt about it we are at a time of War, Spiritual War. War on Human kind, war of loosing who we are all meant to be. So it is very important that we do what is necessary to bring about that same calm and peace that the Dove represents to the world to ourselves. Let go of the things that bind us, learn the lessons from them and release it all so that the lesson will not have to be repeated. If it is guilt for something you thought, did or contemplated… let it go you can not change the past. However you can change the path ahead by learning and not repeating.

The Dove shares that it is the same of grievances against us… we can not change them but we can understand them and forgive so that it can also be released. Why are we allowing them to define who we are. It is better to walk forward and have the understanding and knowledge of all of this so that we can become stronger, better, wiser and more compassionate for others that are within or Sacred circles.

So Dove speaks to us by saying, Live life by becoming who you are meant to be and be that shining example of Peace that can be attained if we desire to do so.

Dove teaches us when it is time to soar to new heights by using the element of air, “the wind beneath your wings”. That we must trust in the Universe, in Creator God for they are there supporting us, assisting us, but they will not choose or do the work for us. That nothing will prevent us from attaining our goals except ourselves. So we need to Trust and have Faith in all that is Sacred has purpose, has reason.

Dove reminds us to stop and breathe in the 7 Sacred breathes, letting go of the inner storms that are stirring and tap into the inner peace that can be found deep in our very souls. That what we are seeing is the chaos of the storm, and that after the storm is calm and beauty, for what we are seeking to attain is attainable and will be if we stay strong and show patience with the situation. They also represent peaceful resolutions can be found. They also represent travel time is approaching, perhaps in meditative state or in a physical sense.

May the Divine Spirit reach You and fill your being with Love and Joy of the Day…
.
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… WE All need to become proactive in saving our planet, the creatures that live upon it, and each other

Blessings to You ALL,

Spiritual and Totem Insights for July 17 2020 the Winged Ones


So today the Winged Ones present themselves in the 7th place and that is awesome because this morning as I sat outside the Kestrels came and brought their young ones teaching them to soar and follow through the trees and sky above the lake water. I felt so blessed to be a part of that. And that is what we should be feeling today… Blessed. But take time to examine your blessings in your life, as often we forget them as we deal with things that are seemingly negative.

So today as the energy swirls about, take mindful steps as not to disrupt the beauty of it and embrace all the things that are right in front of you. Blessings! The Winged Ones are messengers for our prayers and needs to be carried to the Universe, Creator God and all of Spirit in order for us to be assisted in positives. So accept the love shared by them, experience the positives they want to give us all, and just think about how we ALL are a small piece of the great world around us … and we all are important to making everything fit.

The Winged Ones carry our souls energy to the Creator, the Universe so that we will be heard… our prayers, our needs and desires, so take advantage of that and allow your spirits to soar. This will in turn re-energize you so that you are able to focus on the important things in your life and its circle. Are you strong enough to do this? That is the question you must ask yourselves, are you willing to hear your own souls energy and do what is needed to stay and continue in a positive light?

Take a moment as I call to prayer and join in doing the same…

I call to the Winged Ones… carry our words to Creator to be heard upon this day of Sorrow…
Today we send our wants, needs, wishes upon Your wings to be shared and manifested. Ride the fierce winds to soar with the Ancestors in the great above within the grasp of Father Sky. Allow the up winds of energy we send to you to swirl through your feathers, enabling You to soar ever closer to the Creator’s Breath.

You are Sacred, You are revered, You are all that we send with you in honor and gratitude, our Messenger to the above and beyond. We are blessed by your offering of service, of insight and wisdom’s on this day and all days. We thank you for all that you bring to share with our souls as they resonate with yours. Blessed be on this and all days to come.

We ask as we stand humbly upon the Great Mother, that you assist us in allowing our tears to wash away the pain and heartaches of this world. That you escort our loved ones who have passed so that they arrive safely to the next part of their journeys and bask in the acceptance and greetings of the Ancestors. We kneel in debt to you for being our confident and keeper of all that is in our hearts.
AHO

As we walk through our days, if we take that moment to stop and open our eyes… we will see the Winged Ones. Always fluttering about, ready and willing to take our deepest thoughts and carry them to the Creator’s ears to be heard. They share with us a deep knowledge of the Great Mother Earth and all that walks her surface and flies within Father Sky’s grasp. They are Sacred, so much so that many tribes and clans have taken them as their guides. From the Woodpeckers, the Buzzards, to the Egrets, Hawks and the Majestic Eagles… all play a role in teaching us things we need to understand and embrace as we walk the Human.

Revered as bringers of messages and symbols of change, we await your insights that will allow us to walk in a more positive, balanced and healthy way. for you are closest to the Creator’s ear, Messengers of our Ancestors and Relatives passed to the other world our souls thrive and continue to grow in. Creator is within all things, so help us to open our eyes and souls to be and do what we are meant to, what we have all agreed to when we entered this space.  Know what is clearly in our Soul’s intent and assist us in awakening it, re igniting it on order to be the mighty Warriors of Peace you have asked us to be.

Soar to the heavens our beautiful Winged Sisters and Brothers… soar and be blessed as you carry our burdens to be released to the Creator and Universe allowing us to begin to heal and move forward in positives.

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… WE All need to become proactive in saving our planet, the creatures that live upon it, and each other

Blessings to You ALL,

Spiritual and Totem Insights for July 16, 2020 – the Badger


So the Badger finds its way into the 7th place today to bring us messages of dealing with what is in front of you. Time to clean up your messes and get the house into order. No better time than today. Stop procrastinating and get it done! WE often will find ways to avoid things, issues, people etc… but today’s energy is all about clearing it out so new and better things can step in to play. Often we find procrastinating is easier than actually doing the work that would help us complete what is needed to be done with. But the Badger sets up to tell us we shouldn’t be having to revisit things over and over in order to learn the lessons that are there.

So today it is time to step up and simply DEAL WITH IT ALL! Let’s bring balance into our lives by sorting through things that need sorting, for truly when we think about it yeah, if we don’t they will just come back to bite us in the butt and force us to deal with the issues, people, things at a later date. SO why not simply get it over with , good…bad… or indifferent.

Badger also reminds us that guilt is a human factor that for some crazy reason even if we don’t need to hold on to it, we do. So time to release it, fix it, apologize for it…. whatever it takes to re-balance ourselves in positive manners! 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.

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… WE All need to become proactive in saving our planet, the creatures that live upon it, and each other

Blessings to You ALL,

Spiritual and Totem Insights for July 15 2020 – the Rabbit

Rabbit shows up in the 7th spot today to remind us although we should not feed our fears they should be lessons in motivation … of things to overcome and obstacles to push through. Take time today to Rabbit says to look within ourselves and take out the trash, get rid of what no longer serves the highest good for our paths, our lives. We often at times without even know we are doing it, hold on to things that have no place in our lives anymore. Sometimes it is simply habits or negatives that we have developed over time that we need to balance out so that we walk in a better way. A way that embraces the good in the world. And we all know at the moment that is a difficult thing to see at times. So why not just balance it out?

Rabbit reminds us all to remember we need to nurture ourselves in order to allow our Spiritual growth to occur. It shares with us that we have all the tools needed inside of us if we just stop for a moment to collect ourselves and reach into that toolkit we all carry. By stopping for that moment and listening to that inner voice, it will give us a chance to strengthen our plans that are in motion, or review the ones we are contemplating.

Rabbit tells us not to be so quick to jump to conclusions, rather look at the larger picture and then move quickly as your instinct guides you rather than allowing fear to move you forward. Pursue your dreams, your goals with a little more adaptability, network with friends and family to help you get the results that are desired.

Rabbits also represent fertility, but of course it is up to us to make sure that that fertility shows up as positives such as creativeness, happiness, success and not negatives that we hold onto that eventually turn into fear, anger, bitterness, depression, illnesses.

Rabbit teaches that defending ourselves doesn’t always mean fighting back; it can also be accomplished by listening to what is happening in and around our Sacred Hoops and then using our intuition for the best possible outcome. Rabbit has a short life so it also reminds us to take advantage of every waking moment for all life is Sacred. Don’t get stuck on the little things in life or life around you will pass by in a blink of an eye and you will have missed the journey.

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… WE All need to become proactive in saving our planet, the creatures that live upon it, and each other

Blessings to You ALL,

Spiritual and Totem Insights for July 14 2020 – the Elemental Water

It was funny to me this morning as I picked up the Deck and shuffled I said to myself it will be an Elemental, and sure enough the 7th card that faced me this morning was the Elemental Water!  So as I sat with it what was shared is it will be a day where emotions run up and down, in and out much like a roller coaster. So we must take the opportunity to channel it in the proper fashion. If we can manage to stop for a moment that emotional ride will get better with each breath and work to our advantage.

Water shares instead of feeling like a tsunami hit us, allow the Elemental to work with you not against you and it will wash the anxiety and discord away from your mind and body. Remember that as Humans our bodies are made up of 60% water, including our brains and heart are composed of 73% water, our the lungs are about 83% water. Our skin contains 64% water, muscles and kidneys are 79%, and even the bones are watery weighing in at 31% water. So why not use what we are… the Elemental Water!

Water needs to be replenished as we use it, so remember to feed yourself a constant flow of positives and fresh ideas…we are what we make of ourselves, so why not be that best version of ourselves!

Water is all about cleansing. It brings with it fluid dream states, healing powers, fluidity within our lives, regeneration and rebirth, changes that are needed within and without our Sacred Circles and the process of unconditional love for self and others.

Water is attached with Autumn the time of death and rebirth. Water is also associated with the direction of the West. Water relates to our feminine sides, Water also represents emotions and our subconscious minds, or going within. It works with our psychic abilities and will assist in the magical world with spells utilizing mirrors.

Water is strength…so learn to harness it as it takes up 65% of our human selves… Harness it… refresh it… renew your souls with it…!

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… WE All need to become proactive in saving our planet, the creatures that live upon it, and each other

Blessings to You ALL,

Spiritual and Totem Insights for July 13 2020 – the Heron


As the 7th card flips out of the deck this day Heron steps quietly in sharing with it’s presence that we need to step through the day with our eyes wide open and slow enough to be aware of all that is affecting us. Keeping an eye on how we are reacting to things so that we optimize the most of all the possibility that is available.

Heron also is the example of patience for us today, as they make sure every step counts… and today we should do the same, instead of frustration and anxiety… take the time to slow down enough to understand things. Before you know it you will be smoothly walking about the day and things will ease up for you.

It is important that we realize we are in control of how we act/react to things and people. So put your best foot forward and set the tone for not only your day but through example for others!

Heron teaches us to ground by learning to bring balance to our OWN SACRED HOOPS… by stepping carefully through the negatives and understanding your voice is good enough and your positive outlook, the positive choices we each make can make a difference in our world.

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.

Heron 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.

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… WE All need to become proactive in saving our planet, the creatures that live upon it, and each other

Blessings to You ALL,
