Spiritual and Totem Insights for the Day the Praying Mantis


So the Praying Mantis flips itself over in the 7th card place today, and tells us to put aside our pettiness, put away the pity parties for one today… set aside our whining because whether or not we realize it there are people worse off than we are this day. So instead of putting out the things that contain us in these negative cycles we continue to feed and remain in… stop take a beat and pray, assist, reach out to someone who may need to hear some positives, some support in their life today.

Reach out and tell them you care, you haven’t forgotten. Perhaps sit and listen to an Elder tell a story you haven’t heard, or even a story you have heard a billion times over. Make it about caring what others are experiencing and ease their minds and thoughts for a bit. It will not only give them fresh perspective, but yourselves as well.

Praying Mantis reminds us this day that as Humans we need to walk hand in hand with this amazing world we share with so many… Not only others like us, but ALL Creatures and Life that are part of the Great Mother Earth. We need to remember that even the smallest pebble, the tiniest blade of grass have purpose in the Great Sacred Circle, and it is up to each of us to keep it protected and safe. Just as it is the same with each other… we must keep each other protected and safe from all the negatives in this world.

Praying Mantis shares that we have gotten lost in the daily activity and chaos of our own lives. That we have forgotten to listen to our own voice. With that said it is time to take a step back and breathe in the 7 Sacred breathes. Reground, replenish what we have given away to this moment. Possibly do some simple meditation to recenter ourselves and remember our true self, our true path. Take a moment and breathe, look at all that is Sacred around us. the beauty of even the simplest thing or thought. Time to contemplate before stepping back into life. By doing this you will rekindle the purpose and meaning that are needed at this time.

Praying Mantis teaches us to return to the core of who we are born as. To step on our path with thoughtful placement of how we will imprint ourselves into the world around us. To carefully consider how we will move forward in positives and be prepared to step quickly and decisively when we need to. It is time to listen to our intuition, do not push it away it has guided you through your life sometimes without us realizing. Trust what you are sensing, what you are feeling and move or stand accordingly to that inner voice.

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…”

Blessings to You All

Spiritual and Totem Insights for the Day the Lizard


So my Tiny Little friend stops in this morning to tell us to keep things light today. Blend in with life and simply enjoy what it shares with us all. Don’t make waves, don’t instigate, don’t try to push agendas… simply be, observe, enjoy the moment and just chill with all that is going on around you as you will not be able to change things today…simply go with the flow.

Sometimes it is all about doing just that, blending in and being part of the bigger picture. Today I am being told loudly is one of those days! So tread lightly my friends… tread lightly.

Lizard steps up to share with us that we may be repeating old cycles, recreating things because we have been doing them so long, it feels more natural that stepping into something new or opening the doors to something that is unknown. It tells us although we are able to face our fears, we often do not want to deal with them.

Lizard also shares truths about “EGO”, that often as human we are ruled by it. So what may be needed at the moment is to take a step back and let out hearts take over. Our “EGO” is often all to ready to step in and rule, so take time to really look deep within what is resonating with our hearts before making decisions or saying something we may regret.

Lizard shares that we are able to use all our “senses” as they were given to us at birth, rely on them, hone them and watch for situations that may not serve us and then remove ourselves from them or to step into the positive ones we need to move with. It is time to awaken what lies beneath, the unconscious mind that has been hiding things we have not wanted to deal with. Lizard will allow us to move them to the forefront so we can process through them and get rid of what is no longer needed and place us back to reality. We are all human, we are all flawed and the Lizard teaches us it is ok to be this way. Release as they release a tail, what needs to be let go, then move ahead and regrow in more positive ways.

“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…”

Blessings to You All

Spiritual and Totem Insights of the Day the Heron


This morning the Heron shows itself from the deck with some very insightful observations. Life in the present day is full of noise… we are constantly being pulled in by negativity. Face it, it is sort of everywhere we turn at the moment. The thing is we need to be careful how we step through it all in order to not allow it to seep into our lives. As humans we need to rely on our guts, our internal instincts that keep us safe, that push us to do what is right, what is positive. We need to take a breath to step away from what I call the “Mob Mentality” in order to better our world… our own space. For if we do not, the negativity of the world will consume us.

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.

Spiritual and Totem Insights for the Day the Eagle


Today the Eagle is at play from my deck… telling us to stop confining ourselves to a box! It is time to open to All the Possibilities that life offers us, grab on to them and let our souls soar! Why limit ourselves? Why say we can’t when down deep we know we can if we just challenge and push ourselves to where we want to be… who we want to be.  Limits are only there if we place them there. We are capable of anything we put our minds to.  So it is time… Embrace who it is we are and go push those limits!

Eagle a strong symbol of All that is Sacred, and reminder that we too can fly high and feel the breath of the Creator if we honor the process. We must understand that each and every act we do, each word we say, each look we make can move mountains or set up walls. We can be the strength that is needed to protect, the example needed to inspire or the calm that settles a storm. But we must honor the process. There is no easy button to push, no simple way to get things done for it all requires work in order to achieve the outcome we desire. So remember to feed the positives, weed out the negativity from your life and allow ourselves to be able to feel the Creators love upon each of us.

Eagle reminds us all that we need to care for our Spiritual needs. That the very part of who we are and walk as begins with our Spiritual side and how we connect to the Creator and all that is Sacred. Our soul’s Light, our energy, our very foundation is all about how we feed our soul. How and what we choose as we walk our paths will then mirror out to the world and invite the same to surround us.

We must remember the foundations of Humanity… Love, Respect, Wisdom, Humility, Truth, Honesty and Courage… in order to be strong and stand in a balanced and good way. We must overcome the blindness of society and the negatives they spin. This is what Eagle shares today… this is what he reminds us to do.

So today fly high and touch the face of Creator… stand in Integrity and Truths, and stand with All that is Sacred, all that Matters… with Love and Respect that we are meant to as Human.

Eagle speaks to us of our spiritual paths. I have been taught that the Eagle can fly to the heavens, that its wings can be touched by God Creator. When in it’s presence I feel the Grace of the Creator and All that is Sacred. The Eagle humbles me.

Teaching us to reflect and pause, to rejoice and reconnect to our spirits. To honor our paths, the ethics we have been taught. To Pray, to honor to live in a sacred manner. To listen to our Ancestors that have walked before us and in doing so listen to the wisdoms that have been shared so that we can walk more positive paths. Eagles the symbol of Courage and strength, to do … to walk… the right manner. To take that courage and step into what you re meant to step to in a positive way, and allowing our spirits to soar to the heights to share in God Creator’s extended grace.

Eagles with their sharp eyesight take us to the heights to observe situations in a manner that is more beneficial for us to make clear decisions. To become that visionary and push ourselves to discover and accept self, to accept truths, adapting , changing and growing along the way.

The medicine Eagle shares is, the ability to connect to the Divine, a power of God Creator. Being able to place one foot into the spirit realm and yet remain connected and balanced with Mother Earth.

So Honor your Spirit today and everyday by connecting with the Sacredness around you!

Spiritual and Totem Insights for the Day the Elk


Elk steps in for the day to speak to us about community and working together with others to overcome obstacles. Sometimes as humans we get caught up in taking care of everyone and everything that we often have nothing left for self. So this is a day that we need to set aside our pride…our ego’s and ask for assistance if we need it and understanding there is no shame in it at all. If we learn to work better within and around our own sacred space and circles we can maintain balance in a more healthy way.

Being part of a community is a wonderful thing if we allow ourselves the joy that can be found in it. It is a source of networking and sharing strengths and weaknesses and utilizing others strengths and weaknesses to balance as a whole. That is one of the reasons we have all been so perfectly created in an imperfect manner. Each being different which allows us as a unit to fit together like a jigsaw puzzle to become stronger. So today the Elk shows us to remember it is okay to be imperfect! It is what makes us each unique.

Elk brings in the energy that is needed to slow down and pace ourselves. It’s all about seeing the goal and reaching it without killing ourselves and depleting our energy in the process. Elk helps us to understand that we do not have to do it alone and that companionship and group support are available we just have to ask. Elk signifies abundance and is a sign that all we need will be provided for. To remember that we do not need to rush, for sometimes the reward is in the journey itself. .

Elk symbolizes strength and endurance. It teaches us to spend more time with our families and friends. Elk are also very seldom alone, preferring to live in large herds, yet knowing when they need to have some personal space. They are very well prepared to take on a challenge, they can fight passionately about what is important to them, sometimes can be unpredictable being passive one second and aggressive the next, it is their nature.

Believe in yourself…Empower Yourself…Connect with those you love and hold a good sense of Community… and your goals will be met with positive outcome.

“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…”

Blessed Be

Spiritual and Totem Insights for the Day the Crocodile


Crocodile shows up in the cards this morning asking us what has happened to Respect? Honor? Truth? Honesty? Compassion? Where has the Wisdom from the Ancestors gone? What has happened to Family? What has happened to the ability to communicate in civilized manners with each other? Why is it that as Humans we have so lost the way to being just that Human?

We need to take stock in the teachings we were handed and taught as young people from our Elders and help to instill those teachings in others. We need to stand up with a gentle proverbial stick and remind people how to communicate firmly yet without violence…to get our points across but articulately instead of through hateful actions and words. We need to remind ourselves and each other that no one is perfect and everyone is different and because of that be more understanding that we are not better than or less than anyone else.

Crocodile showing up today is asking…no demanding that we each take a moment to allow those words to resonate in our souls, then balance it on our life and that of life around us.

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

Spiritual and Totem Card of the Day the Red Tail Hawk


Today the Red Tail Hawk is the card to flip over, and brings with it a message that we need to open our wings and remember to soar to new heights! Stop limiting and putting ourselves in boxes unable to attain the things we want and desire. We need to learn to push ourselves more and understand that things worth having and doing take work.

Red Tail Hawk also screeches out that we are not supposed to do things, be who we are in order to fit others expectations and needs… we are here to experience this journey, this amazing walk called life with all it’s ups and downs… as we maneuver the obstacles, the rewards, all the beauty that lies all around us. This is to feed our soul.. no one elses.  No one can make us happy… we have to allow that ourselves!

Red Tail Hawk shows up to help us understand the meaning in ordinary experiences if open and become aware of our surroundings. The Red Tail Hawk is awakening our souls so that we may begin the journey of our spirituality, preparing us for those Life Lessons that will soon show up.

Red Tail Hawks are messengers of the between, sharing insights and knowledge extended to us from the Ancestors and the world of Spirit. They speak to us of looking from a different vantage point and thus giving us a broader view of any given situation, helping us to not only be aware that a message awaits us, but also helping us to understand those messages.

Red Tailed Hawks are sacred and as they enter our presence, we must honor them by opening our minds and keeping them sharp while we look for wisdom and answers as we walk the human.

The Red Tailed Hawk’s red tail feathers distinguish it from other hawks, and remember that it does not receive their red feathers until at a later point in life after it has matured and experienced life around it. These feathers must be earned. The color Red represents Power and Energy that will lie dormant until it is awakened by our Souls as they walk and journey life and honor its own Sacred Hoop.

“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
