So as promised, I will share the Vision I was given earlier in the week…

vision blog

So as promised to “Spirit” I will share with vision that was given to me this past week. As I began my walk in dreamtime, I was taken to a place of neither here nor there yet it was as if I was walking parallel with the world. Well let me stop for a second and take a couple of steps backwards.

When you think of people who do spiritual work, we often forget that they are also human complete with insecurities, self doubt and a need for validation and guidance. This is the place that I have been at for the past few weeks. And this is one of the reasons I retreat into the cave for introspect, clarity and healing work that I need done on self. I retreat and unplug myself from the world around me and simply am. It always amuses me for even some of my closest friends still don’t understand that this is what happens and is something I have done for years. Others of them get it rather quickly, as someone suggested to me the other day… “Well you are a bear and it’s what bear’s do.”

So what happens is people with these kinds of abilities, gifts and curses as some of us may call it, after time can wear us down making us tired and susceptible to doubt, negativity and/or a general feeling of okay are you sure I am supposed to be doing this? Or have I just lost it? Then the validations start showing up in and around our lives… we give messages to strangers that are so precise that it helps them to begin the healing process, or we connect with “spirit” in a way that connects another for transition, closure and the understanding that yes our souls are still on a journey when they leave the human.

Okay now let’s fast forward back to the beginning of the story as it began during my walk in dreamtime. When I have visions I am often in meditation or in a very light trippy spot of between sleep and awake, is the best way I can explain it. This particular time was the latter for I had been up earlier and had simply decided to go back to bed after taking care of the critters, which should have indicated to me something was up since they all decided to wake me at 4:30 a.m. very early even for them. I quickly was pulled to a meditative state, and Grandmother Moon was shining brightly on me through the window.

I was taken to a place that many people had gathered, Tribes of Many Colors and they were all there in celebration of prayer. When I looked towards the drums, there were many dancing together in a line that wrapped me in a circle that continued for farther than the eyes could see. There were people of every culture and ethnicity, dressed in the boldest and brightest of colors and regalia. There were Africans, Aboriginals, Japanese and Middle Easterners all dancing together in honor and prayer. There were Ancestors long past, and children of every color of the rainbow all singing and laughing and dancing alongside the people. It was joyous, it was harmonious, it was Life as it is meant to be…Alongside each other working together for a common goal, the goal of Balance.

I was shown artwork from around the globe, heard stories and songs from our Ancestors and from future generations. They all smiled and were eager to share the knowledge and insights that are available to each and every one of us now, in this time, in this place. They told me that humanity has lost its way and needs to go back to the beginning.. the beginning of simple to a place and time of honor, respect, shared wisdoms and knowledge, humility and love. It is tiring work for many, but we must be steadfast in what it is we are to do and how we are to walk, for the work continues to bring light to the darkness and balance to the one sided. We must set judgments aside and spread not ignorance of others, but faith in a future that can become our defining moments.

They continued to dance and sing around where I stood, and as they did creatures great and small from all their nations came to stand with me embracing me in reassurance. As I stepped away from self and looked at back as if through a two way mirror, I saw myself standing as half being and half bear.

I felt blessed and light of heart. I was shared messages for people I would be speaking with in the days ahead. I was shown directions I would be taking with creativity and my path while I walk the human. I was then instructed to step outside in the crisp air, lite my smudge and watched as the embers created the swirling smoke that danced into the early morning sky as if in greeting to the world that surrounds…

All is Sacred… All is as it should be.

Welcome to October! Card of the Day – Praying Mantis

card 37 Praying Mantis 1122

Pray Hard, Pray Often!
It is time to open your communications with Creator, the Ancestors and “Spirit“! Don’t ask how or when… do it on a bus, in a car, on a plane … while you are at work, silently within or with voice to be heard by ears. We need to understand that our needs, our desires, our worries and concerns, our joys and our sorrows…do not go unanswered or unheard. But we do need to understand that they need to be recognized by us as individuals. No matter what language, culture, ethnicity, we must embrace our “spiritual” from within and make it part of who we are.

Don’t hide from it…embrace it…allow it to keep you to the task at hand…. and that is to live life to the fullest honoring all those that have walked before us, to be thankful for all that we are and have and allowing the Sacred of All that is to be recognized and cared for.

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.

…of Visions and Cards September 30, 2015 – Card(s) of the Day

september 30 2015
Stepping out into the crisp morning air, I stood and took a deep breath in. The visions came to me last night were intensely specific andgave me validation of purpose and path. I thanked Creator and the Ancestors for what I was shown, and was given permission to share it with all, and will do so later in the day. But First I will share the cards that settled for the day from the deck. The intensity of the Moon’s energy is still present with us all and is making its mark for a wider awareness of all things Sacred for the Tribes of Many Nations if we but open our souls to hear.

The deck was shuffled and as I began to count out the Seven for the Seven Sacred Directions, the 6th and 7th cards flipped over together. First to show itself was the 6th card which was the Blue Butterfly, signifying the transformations and transitions that have been occurring with all of us whether we choose to see and admit them or not. They have been sometimes gentle nudges but often more precise pushes from ‘Spirit” and the Ancestors as to getting on with our life in positives. As with the Butterfly coming out of its cocoon, sometimes this can be a struggle, but the blue healing light that is the color of the wings as I portrayed this particular card reminds us that we are not alone in anything we do, and Creator is here, as are those who have walked before us. Although they may not always be seen by the naked eye, does not mean that they are not with us.

The second card to turn itself was the Wolf. Many have a strong affinity with the wolf, but not all understand it’s true purpose. Wolf is not a creature to walk alone, the “Lone Wolf” description is myth… Wolf is n extremely social and loving animal. Dedicated to family and partner, the only time Wolf walks alone is when they are ill or off balance. Wolf comes to us as teacher and is urging us as we transform into the newness of each moment, we pay attention to what is and learn what can be. Embrace Life, do not hide in the shadows of it… walk with the pack in positives and keep our Sacred Hoops strong and healthy in the process.

card 39 Wolf 1122
Wolf is a very organized creature. It understands there is need for order and balance for harmony to occur with our Sacred Hoops. Wolf is regarded as one of the most powerful spirit guides of all for it represents teacher and lessons to be learned and shared with self. It speaks to us to seek counsel from people that you respect. To take a moment to step back and look for the true meaning from the issue you face. By doing so, you will be able to walk clearly ahead and do what needs to be done with the knowledge you can see it all clearly.

Although many think the site of a lone wolf means freedom but it does not. It instead represents that it is a time to look deep in oneself and find the balance that is needed in your own life that is lacking. For the wolf is meant to be in packs, in a community, in a family, with its mate. The times you see wolves on their own or isolated is do to unbalance that needs to reground and once again be in the circle of the Sacred Hoop.

The Wolf cry reminds us to stand our ground, remember we all need boundaries. It is about communication, answering the call and listening to the response. The Wolf an assist us to open and listen to the sound of others in order to understand better the situation. It is about having the strength of the pack, and your closest friends with you when you need them without questions.

Wolf is strongly connected to lunar cycles, so learn to move with that cycle and honor it in order to be at your best. They teach us to weed out what is the weakest and no longer serves us, so that new and better things will come our way.

card 27 butterfly 1122
The Butterfly is connected to the elemental Air. It represents to many cultures the story of Transformation. It teaches us how to shift, change and move with whatever life brings to our paths. This helps us to learn how to work through events and situations that we encounter in our lives so that we can move through changes in what appears to be effortless with grace allowing our Sacred Hoops to come into and stay balanced.

Butterfly shares with us the gift of understanding that we all have purpose, we are all part of a grander plan, that we all exist to complete the balance needed in the world we live in. Without each of us inputting our energies, our purposes… other things would not come to fruition. Such as the pollen that is collected when they land in a grouping of flowers, when they move from place to place they assist the species in continuing to exist. We too are much like the Butterfly, for without each of us to contribute our efforts, our knowledge sharing it with our young people, with each other… ideas and cultures would eventually cease to exist.

Butterfly teaches us that we need to quiet our minds to hear the echoes of our souls, to look around you and appreciate all that is Sacred. Teachings are also about how we move through our lives transforming and constantly changing. As we are seeded into the womb where we begin our earth journeys growing and nurturing to prepare to enter the world, we are much like the Butterfly in the cocoon until we emerge slowly transforming into what and who we are to become.

Throughout our lives this occurs as we move through the changes in our life. So don’t fight the changes, rather honor the process of it as your Soul grows and expands into all that it can be… the beautiful soul that is an intricate part of the Human Race.

So today take time and honor who you are, remembering that you and all that you are is meant to be for a purpose and wonderful reason…. Take a moment to breathe, take a moment to revel in becoming understanding that you are important to all life!

September 29, 2015 Card of the Day – Ant

card 5 Ant 1122
Ever just sit outside in a space and watch the ants? they are amazing creatures that allow nothing to detour them from the task at hand. They weather storms, heat, drought, people running over the tops of their homes with weed whips, fire, people stepping on them, and the list could go on forever. and when something occurs they all step in and assist and carry on. Wow we could learn much from the Ant if we would simply understand the lessons they share. A creature so small, coming together and working, assisting each other, for the common good… and accomplishing the task against all sorts of diversity! What a freakin’ concept!

The Ant teaches us that all good things come in time as we walk life in positives, holding to our truths, convictions in order to manifest our dreams into realtime. They also share through example how teamwork and clear focus can get the job done. Look at how tiny they are, yet working diligently and with purpose they always manage how to overcome the obstacles that are often set on their paths.

They also talk to us about community and working together to build a better being. Community is important, so perhaps this card is shown today for the fact we all need to remember that we all impact life and community just by being. So our actions can speak volumes, so choose to think before moving ahead in order to walk in positives for the best outcome.

The Ant can move mountains when it chooses to do so. They always have the eye on the prize so to speak. This is how we must think at times to get things done., to push through things that are difficult and at times weigh us down. We must call on that inner strength, and just simply get it done. It doesn’t matter what others think about us, we do not need to answer to their expectations… we simply need to believe and have faith that the world around us will have our backs, remembering that we are all born with everything we need in life to survive and live, we just have to open to the possibility of it all.

Morning after the Full Super Blood Moon 3 Cards Pulled September 28, 2015

3 card of the day moon

Well today will prove to be a very Powerful day indeed!

As I sat this morning, I have been trying to shake through the energy long enough to hear clearly. Last night in the sky above us all was the “Supermoon eclipse” and the last to occur until 2033. Also called the Full Harvest Moon. Many of the Native American tribes gathered crops and food supplies at this time for the upcoming year. The bright light of the Harvest Moon allowed them to work late into the night to harvest their crops.
The Harvest Moon varies and does not always occur in September but to the full moon closest to the autumn equinox, which falls during October once or twice a decade. Sometimes the September full moon is also referred to as the Corn Moon.

When I sat to pull the card of the day, three fell to the table, so I will honor the strength of “Spirit” and share with you all three!

card 14 Grouse 1122

The first to fall was the “Grouse” dancing under the moon’s glow that was still evident in the early morning sky. No Surprise here!
Taking time to celebrate the moment!

Grouse reminds us of what is Sacred within our own Hoops. It reminds us to stand in our own power, to drum and ground with the great Mother Earth, to experience our own heartbeats of our souls. Speaking to us and whispering that we need to dance and honor our own spirits, allowing the joys that are in life to enter and filling our own Sacred Hoops with the positives that are needed in the moment and beyond.

Grouse dances in circles, speaking to us of cycles that we walk through on our paths, from birth to death transitions and on to rebirth. We all experience these, from the moment we take our first breath, it is called change.

So the Grouse asks that we embrace those changes,,, and dance to the drumbeat of your own soul! Stand in your own power, revitalize your spirit, your human… dance and create, manifest what it is that you need to walk a more positive way on your own path. Don’t worry about what others are thinking or doing… concentrate on your own energy as you dance and place yourself in harmony and balance with body, mind and spirit.

Listen and hear as Grouse shares with us today and beats it’s wings and stomps the ground in harmony with all that is Sacred!

card 48 b Frog

The Next Card that came jumping to the table was of course “Frog
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.

It can assist 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.

And the last card the Deck shared with me this morning is “Salmon

card 40 coho salmon 1122

Coho Salmon bring to our lives and teach us ways of abundance, fertility, prosperity and renewal of both the physical and spiritual. Guiding us with transformation, intuition, instinct, and urging us to examine your life considering any of the obstacles we may have on our paths as we walk forward.

Coho Salmon teaches us that the most valuable and sacred things in life must be fought for. Although it may seem the odds are impossible and the struggles have worn you out, your needs, goals and dreams are near, and that the most resistance normally occurs just before we succeed. So do not stop and give up now. This is not time to go with the flow today… ignore what outside pressures are placing on you and go with your own intuition, follow your instincts they will not fail you.

Like the Coho Salmon we also go through several transitions throughout our lives, so remember if you are feeling stuck it may be time to transition into newness of self, leaving what is not needed anymore behind. Return to your Soul’s intent, feel the Sacred of you and honor that as you push ahead to reach your goals.

So looking at the three cards, “Spirit” shares with us the freedom to Dance with our Souls! Enjoy the life we are here to live and experience, honoring the Sacred within! Our spirits have been given the energy to renew and transform…so take hold of our own power that comes from deep within our core! allow the abundance and fertility of ideas and creativity to blossom into positives your life… your path, your journey has been acknowledged and listen to the sacred from within and around your life and allow it to push you into the positive steps of life!

Enjoy the powerful energy that kicks us into a new week…new stories… new journeys and new experiences!

September 25, 2015 Card of the Day – Racoon

card 41 racoon 1122

Okay so it is time to take the mask off. Today it is about not hiding from yourself or others. Time to own it and take back your own power so to speak. WE need to stop letting others expectations of us take hold and stopping us from being who we really are. As individuals we must learn that we are all different and unique from each other, meaning we need to stop and figure out just what our souls are trying to say to us… and then listen to that voice and be the person we are meant to be. Not what someone else thinks we need to be, do, say, act… It’s about taking your voice, your spirit back and being in control of it, allowing the positives to push you through the muck and negatives.

If we stop and think about it, there are days it is hard enough to be us…let alone being someone that others want us to be. So step into you, reclaim you… revel in you… BE YOU… and stop walking on the eggshells that others place on your path.

Racoon
Raccoon teaches us to re-connect with our inner warrior, to become both provider and protector for ourselves and possibly others within our Sacred Hoop. However while assisting others, Raccoon teaches us that we must in this process, learn to do this in a way that does not make those you are helping become dependent on your help.

When dealing with issues the Raccoon leaves no stone unturned. Patiently and diligently seek the solution by taking the time needed to observe the whole picture, both the seen and the unseen to find a positive solution.

Raccoon are also the masters of curiosity, adaptability, resourcefulness, masks or illusion. They also speak of hiding behind and not being open an honest with your self. Learn to be more open and accept the gifts being offered to you right now by the universe.

Be more versatile and watch for opportunity by being more aware of your surroundings and what is happening in and around your own Sacred Hoop. Raccoon teaches us that as human we wear many masks in life and sometimes feel the need to hide our true self as protection or to hide from the reality of a situation. Just remember it is okay to do that for a short time, but do not get lost behind that mask, for we all have purpose, we all have meaning in this walk we are on.

September 24, 2015 Card of the Day – Orca

card 29 orca 1122
The Ancient Ones are calling out for us to look within, to see truths and not lie to oneself… for we are responsible for how we act, think and behave. And although it is great to say we will look in the reflection of self to see truths of how we walk, it is quite another thing to be brutally honest about it and accept our short comings and how they effect others within and around our lives.

So it is time to strip away the falsehoods we put up, take the blinders off and be honest with ourselves. We need this action in order to move ahead and release those negative tendencies and move into a more positive way of life. It is an intense emotional time right now, with the Full Blood Moon preparing to rise in the skies on September 28, 2015, so allow the emotions to flow and cleanse the soul, strengthen your hoops by embracing changes that will help us to be better to others and mostly to be better to ourselves.

Orca
Orca is one of the most revered of the ancient Ones who swim and protect our Waters. Their songs speak to us of healing from deep within our souls. Listen as they begin calling in positive vibrations of thought and sound. Orca’s guide us through the depths of our own emotions allowing us to explore and mend self more effortlessly by moving with the waves of life, rather than against. They help us access the Ancestor’s knowledge that is buried deep within our own DNA that is the key to all that is Sacred.

We are being called to search our souls, for looking inward is the only way that we can move forward in positive motions at this time. Orca will help us to understand self and give us a clear view to set our intention of what is needed in the situation for the highest good.

Orca will guide and help us to confront our emotions that are out of control by making connections that are needed between our conscious and subconscious to bring about the balance we need in our Sacred Hoops.
