Today the Crystal Keepers show up in the seventh spot, reminding us to harness your power and utilize the energies around you. Today the energy that swirls is often chaotic, so remind yourself to stick to the plan. The task at hand is important and you can and are able to redirect the energies as you need to utilize them. Sometimes we need to steady our thought process to make sure we are thinking clearly and in proper fashion. Today is one of those days.
Remember thoughts will be racing with all the energy today… and we are all experiencing it whether we know and understand that is up to you!
The Crystal Keepers share with us that the answers to our soul piece that we may feel are missing lie deep within ourselves, but we have to slow down enough to listen to them and in doing so we will find that yes indeed we are enough… that our own happiness does not depend o another… and that we are just as important as the next.
So today and in the next few weeks ahead, examine our relationships… with life around us, with family members, friends, and most of all ourselves. Stop long enough to feed the parts that need to be fed, and to let go of the parts that should not be. Sometimes the old cliche` is actually correct in saying that sometimes people and things that imprint on us are meant to be there on our paths for a blink and other times for lifetimes. Time to accept that and work on the parts that are honestly meant to stay. Relationships start with self.
Crystals have always seemed magical to me, they are used for gazing, they can hold energy and power, they have been used by Seers and mystics, Shaman and Medicine people of all races and religions for as long as time can be recorded.
The “Crystal Keepers Speaking of all the knowledge from the Ancestors, those that have walked before us from beyond time, that has been recorded and is accessible to each of us if we chose to listen to what is being shared. It is the history of life itself, of how we can attune our souls to balance, walk a better and in a more positive way.
They speak to us of opening ourselves to that inner core, the D.N.A. that has been encoded inside us from generation to generation. We don’t need science to hear and share in it’s wealth of knowledge… we don’t need to super smart to tap into it…we simply have to trust in our abilities that we are each born with and reignite the switch to openness.
It is time to listen and relearn the ways of our Ancestors in order to balance ourselves and life on the Great Mother Earth. It is time to remember the Grandfather/Grandmother Teachings of Humility, Honesty, Truth, Wisdom, Courage, Respect and Love. It is time as the “Crystal Keepers” share to amplify those traits and restore what needs to be happening here while we ALL walk the Human.
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 from a Little bear and a little bird named Pip,

Today is about Self… the Medicine Bag teaches us to remember to honor what is important to each of us as individuals. Bring about positive change in Self… Take strong steps today to EmpowerSelf. This is not speaking to EGO…it is speaking to our Souls to feed them, restore them making them balance so that we may stay healthy and happy.
SO today, tap into your creative sides, whether it is trying a new recipe, painting a picture, sewing and stitching something, or even reading a new book or heck even writing a new one…just do it because you enjoy it. We need to keep our personal medicine fresh and new for it teaches us what it is to be alive!
A Medicine Bag ( also called a Medicine Pouch) is traditionally a small pouch filled with talismans such as stones, herbs, found objects, personal memorabilia and its purpose is protection, to remind us of our human and All that is Sacred and to assist us in healing and keeping our Sacred Hoops in balance. Native Americans have carried these bags for centuries, but in recent years, they’ve also become popular in our modern day culture but most are unaware of the intent/purpose of them.
Traditionally a medicine bag or bundle contains something from the plant, animal and mineral kingdoms and from the life of a person. Meant to be kept close to your person so that the spiritual power surrounds you and becomes one with your energy. In a sense it becomes one with who you are. What goes onto the bag is your personal medicine, things you draw “power” from that will aid you as you walk your paths. If you receive one as a gift, the maker or person gifting it should add something of their own to help you on your journey.
Understand that a traditional Medicine Pouch is Sacred. The bag should not be opened by anyone else. It is up to the individual whose bag it is if they choose to take items out in order to share with others the story behind them, or to use them for healing purposes. Each item is considered Sacred and is meant to assist its owner with power and spirituality while they walk the Human. Allowing others to access the bag and it’s contents, ‘steals’ the power and lessons its intent for the owner.

Today we are reminded to hold our own Medicine as Sacred! Do Not allow anyone to make you feel that you are less than… or that you can not accomplish, or are not worthy and in return do the same with others. Give people the benefit of the doubt, not jumping to conclusions and accusation. Today is about stepping into your own power, your own medicine and owning it! This doesn’t mean that you are better than, it simply means that we all are an important part of the world, we all imprint and spark changes. So today ignite life’s positives. Perhaps remember a teaching of long ago and review it to make sure you are still using it wisely. Make sure that your footprints are gentle as you walk your paths. Stand strong, share the unconditional with others that cross upon your journey today and days ahead. Be the teacher that we are all meant to be…the human that is experiencing life and it’s many miracles.

White Sagewho’s scientific name Salvia Apiana comes from the Latin root salvare, meaning “To Heal” therefor many use it when offering it up in prayer as well as using White Sage for medicinal purposes. The plant itself is actually a member of the mint family. Found mostly in the northwestern Mexico and southwestern United States and more commonly found on the coast of Baja and Southern California on the west border of the Sonoran and Mojave deserts. It is said that the White Sage cleanses negative energies and evil spirits that may linger.
Today’s card White Sage falls to the table and speaks all about the Sacred Within each of us! Today we need to take the time to honor that and all that is Sacred in and around our lives. Time to recognize it and send thanks and gratitude up to the Creator and Ancestors, keeping us strong of mind, heart, body and keeping our intents positive.
It is simply time to change the path of the negatives that surround us in the world today by shielding ourselves with positives! Sometimes we need to look deep within ourselves to see the destructive cycles that we have placed ourselves in most of the time without even realizing it, and then set about releasing them. Thus changing our very thought patterns. Learn to look in the mirror and see the reflection understanding that we are in deed human and have flaws. But that those flaws do not mean we are unlovable, incapable, unwanted, rather they mean we have opportunity to grow, to expand to better ourselves, and heal.
So today begin by giving yourself the love you deserve… Self Love. All the time understanding and knowing that the Creator and the Ancestors that walked before us support and assist us if we are open to it. We simply have to believe and have faith. Life does not work by pushing the “Easy” button… it is all about the journey and the process we go through to make us whole, balanced and walking in positives.
Honor your family, your friends, all people and creatures that have walked with you and that have yet to enter your path. Honor your Guides, the Spirit that assist you each day. Honor the Elementals, the Directions, the Great Mother Earth and Father Sky. Honor Grandmother Moon and Grandfather Sun….This is what the Sacred Sage reminds us of, this is the tone it sets for us to follow. Remember it is not owned by anyone, it is one of the Great Mother Earth’s many gifts to us and it is up to all of us to keep all that is Sacred safe and thriving.
One of the most Sacred of herbs among many cultures and people, White Sage assists in clearing our energy fields, driving out the negative and strengthening the positives. Sage is held Sacred because of it’s effective purifying energies. It heals by bringing us back to balance cleansing the body and mind of negative spirits and impurities. Leaves are at times burned to drive away bad spirits, evil influences, bad dreams, bad thoughts, and illness.
Add some White Sage to your healing and prayer rituals and put yourself on a path to balance and honoring the Sacred Within!

So today “Spirit” says lets shake it up a bit by sharing 3 cards with everyone, and then lets see if they listen or not.
The first card that drops is intertwined with our Spiritual needs and is the Eagle!Today is all about taking care of the spiritual side of things that we all may be neglecting because we are so caught up in the world around us. The Eagle soars close to Creator and brings us the message to not only take time… but to MAKE time to feed our spiritual self. We all need to remember this is important to our health and balance. It is not merely enough to talk the talk, we must ALL walk the walk. Stay strong within our own Sacred Hoops by remembering to honor ourselves and all things Sacred!
Squirrel stops in to chatter in my ears today to tell us to tend to our Own needs and houses. Stop looking at everyone else’s and clean up our own messes! Set our own lives to order is the task that Squirrel is reminding us to do as he parades past us with the Eagle! Gather the tools and wisdom you need to get that task done and then move forward in positives, leaving the clutter and negatives behind you to filter through the compost pile to be birthed to positives at another time. Squirrel reminds us… Release, Recycle, Renew!
Then the Bear steps up to remind us we need to rest, to allow our souls to do all of the above and more! Honor those directions! Honor all that is Sacred! Learn to walk on our paths and enjoy life as it was meant to be enjoyed. Look at even the smallest joys, miracles… for they are all part of the great world we live in. Take time to appreciate what we already have, rather than plundering what we truly don’t need at the moment. All in it’s perfect time, with Faith and patience the Bear reminds us we have got this walk on this good road we are living.
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!
Squirrel reminds us today of one major lesson and that is to remember always that “We reap what we have sown.” No matter how hard sometimes we try to forget our part in something, a relationship that has hit a bump in the road or a job issue that you are struggling at, or something positive like many blessings showing up at your door, the outcomes always have an imprint from us as it traveled around and back to us. Why we ask? The Squirrel replies, “Because we are all related!”
It also tells us to prepare for change, for if we are working hard to achieve something it will undoubtedly involve change of some kind, and often we forget that part and are caught unprepared. Squirrel also reminds us that through the changes things that no longer serve us, people that no longer are on the same path as us may get lost from us on the way. But we need to remember that they all had purpose and honor whatever lesson or purpose that may have been, and discard any of them including worries, stress and thoughts as you walk forward. Squirrel teaches us that we need to be resourceful at times in order to manifest what we need. Don’t attempt to do to many things at once, rather try and keep a healthy balance between work and play it helps our mental states stay healthy.
Make sure we are paying attention to opportunity that may present itself, share and play nice with others, but to remember in doing so to not forget to take care of ourselves in that process. So break out of your shell today and take care of what you need to , whether that is play or work… but always with a positive breath!
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.

Rejoice …Sing…and Dance with Life today. Remember who You are… Relish in what the Universe is sharing with you! Move through the day in Positives, dismissing and not allowing negatives to enter you Sacred Hoops… We are the sum of what we put out into the world… so why not make it Joy and Happiness! Now I want you all to understand that the reason the Native Peoples dance is to honor and celebrate Creator, our Ancestors… our Veterans… it is a way to teach the Sacred… to honor who we are as a people. It is a way to honor the blessings of our way of life. The Drum the Heartbeat of the People and the Great Mother Earth and all our relations…
.
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!
Aho!
Please Feel free to share these and other posts from my site! They are here as tools to teach us about mending the Hoop… and bringing balance to our lives!
