November 30, 2015 Totem Card of the Day – Earth

earth
Today 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, Mitakuye O`yasin… We Are All Related.

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 the Native 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…”

November 27. 2015 Totem Card of the Day – Desert Wolf Coyote

card 7 Desert Wolf Coyote 1122

Things may not be what they seem to be today, our vision and our understanding may be skewed. So we need to take a moment and simply take a breath…clear your vision, and dismiss previous thoughts and impressions. Then take another look, listen once again and then weigh out the options. coming off of a holiday shared with people and loved ones that we are not with every day can cause issue that is simply best left at the curb. If there are negatives that pop up, don’t carry the negatives forward, instead acknowledge the positives and let them give you the needed boost for the day.

There are enough negatives in the world… we need to take advantage of what is good and help promote changes that will assist us to all be better humans, better to each other and better to ourselves. So make good life choices, share positives with others and embrace the beautiful person that looks back at you from the mirror. Don’t let the shadows of the world hinder your inner soul’s light…

Desert Wolf also known as Coyote, as trickster, comes to us this day to share its wisdom’s, teaching us that it is sometimes a good thing to laugh at oneself in order to not get caught up in the pain that sometimes comes with life choices and lessons. It is about finding the balance of learning what life teaches and has to share, and when it is time to relax, enjoy and have some fun.

Desert Wolf teach us to be stealth and observe what we need to see, opening our senses to see the bigger picture of a situation. They speak of using distraction to change outcomes to more positive ones, by utilizing intelligence and good common sense, which often many do not take the time to stop and remember.

One of the most amazing skills they offer us is the use of voice and communication to let ourselves be heard, but to also warn that at times, when people use their voices it can be for hidden agenda’s that will not be in positive tones. So pay attention, listen closely so that you may understand and decipher what it is that is actually being said and stay adaptable to what must be done in the situation.

Desert Wolf tells us above all make sure we look at our own self, walk in positives not in deceptive or manipulative ways to get what you want. Look at what truly is motivating you, be honest with self and then stand in the Sacred Hoop to balance. Remembering what you do to respect self, will mirror to the world around you.

November 24, 2915 Totem Card of the Day – Hummingbird

card 51 hummingbird
Today speaks to a few things as Hummingbird presents itself from the deck this morning. The first is that we need to honor and respect people and things, situations that call for special care and approach in a delicate manner. Moments and people are precious and need not be discarded, for us remembering not to be the bull in the china shop…to be more like the little delicate hummingbird that only uses what it needs to move along in positives. That is what we to must learn to do. Look at the beauty in life, and not place so much emphasis on the negatives. Take time to remember we are all flawed, all have some imperfect seams… that is what makes us so beautiful and unique.

It also speaks to us in volumes about honoring time, as it is precious when we walk the human. so make sure that you honor time for self, make time for those that are important to us… for life moves as quickly as the wings on the little hummingbird, and that time can be gone in a blink. Make sure to reserve energy for what is important, to take time to also rest and re energize, for this is the time of year we often forget and wind up wearing ourselves to a frazzle. So Reserve… Rest… Renew your Soul’s to allow them to dance to Life’s magic today and all the days to come.

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. They 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.

“I am Dedicated to Educating and sharing the Native 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…”

November 23, 2015 Totem Card of the Day Turtle

card of the day turtle
Today is all about starting the week off on positives! Set the tone fro the rest of the week by entering your soul and finding your inner child!
Look deep inside, get a little nostalgic, perhaps allow it to put a little spring into your step. Allow the Turtle to guide you through the rough currents and into the safe area of your souls harbor. Sometimes we get so caught up in the weeds that it is hard to see the lighter side of things. So take a moment to slow down, it will all be there when it needs to be.

Turtles also know how and teach us how to glide through playfully seeing the beautiful things that life sets out for us to enjoy. Bask in Grandfather Sun when needed… then dive back into the coolness of the waters and let them heal you, transforming you and placing you in a strong and confident place on your path!

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.

November 19, 2015 Totem Card of the Day – Grandfather Sun

GrandFather Sun

Today as the Great Mother Earth began to awaken the card that rose to the 7th place was Grandfather Sun! It speaks to the fact that outcomes rely on a pattern of thoughtful intent. today is your day to shine in positives. Put the effort and thought into the day and rise above the negatives. Grandfather Sun reminds us that the light, the warmth of it, the brightness of it has much healing power. It is offered freely for us all, and given with much love and unconditional. So today is about balancing the positive, recognizing it’s effects on us and the world around us. We have the ability to bring about so many positives in our daily routines… so begin to allow that process to shine from within to share with your world and that of those around you.

It assists us in growth and nurturing. Life depends on Grandfather Sun’s energy so respect that as we are all related, we all need that same energy to grow and balance. No one is more than or less than each other. Grandfather Sun reminds us to respect, support and protect all Life forms as Sacred. For like him we all travel in great circles, that we each have our own Sacred Hoop that circles within the greater Sacred Hoop of life.

You are revered as the provider of light, please assist us on our paths to be better people.
You bring heat and warmth, please assist us to make our growth positive.
Your light oh great Grandfather Sun reminds us of the cardinal points of the North, South, East and West. Help us to balance within the Medicines they set within the great circle of life.

Mig`wetch Great Grandfather Sun for all you share with us, the unlimited and unconditional love and positives that are within your energy as you send healing and restoration to us all. For the life giving energy and teachings that remind us of the Sacred. Help us as we humbly stand below you to become a unified conscience of positives.

“I am Dedicated to Educating and sharing the Native 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.”

November 18, 2015 Totem Card of the Day – Dragonfly

card 28 Dragonfly 1122
Today the Dragonfly falls from the deck bringing with it messages from the in between that we sometimes sense in and around our own Sacred Hoops. Sometimes we receive reminders in forms of tingles, goosebumps, messages in dreamtime, synchronicities that pop up in our lives… we need to pay attention to them, for they are gifts from our Guides, from our Ancestors who have walked before us, our loved ones in Spirit. All assisting us to get to what and where we need to be in that precise moment. Listen with your soul and you will understand more clearly the path you are on.

Mystical, magical that is what life is. Full of Miracles that sometimes we are blind to see. We need to allow our awareness to open and become so we may see and have our souls rejoice with the knowledge that has been shared with us. Open to the positives and stop feeding the fears.

Dragonfly is all about transformation and adaptability. It is messenger of the in between, of here and there and everywhere at the same time. It is beyond time, before time. It is about darkness to light and back again. Dragonfly tells us that everything is in a cycle, so remember and allow more joy to fill your soul. To help you understand that all things are as they should be, and that life itself is magical beyond belief. For our souls do not hold form, and our human self just helps them to experience our earth walks before continuing to the next part of our journeys.

Dragonflies begin their lives in water and then as they grow they move into the air learning to fly. It teaches us to balance the present time and accept it so we may once again move forward, listening as Spirit shares with us all the secrets of here and beyond.

“I am Dedicated to Educating and sharing the Native 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.”

November 17, 2015 Totem card of the Day – Bear

card 24 bear 1122
Today Bear steps back in to the card throw… and tells me that today for all is about rolling with life. Take it as it comes and relax. Bears live in the moment and enjoy the simple pleasures of their days. So it is time to do the same, stop enjoy the flowers, the sky, the sunlight on your face, the rain on your skin… Whatever comes your way today, seek out the good in it, for there is a message in there somewhere that will ligt up your day!

Make your steps count as you walk through the day…grab the extra cup-a of whatever you need today. You have this and life is good we simply have to believe in it. All things will be in time as they are meant to be…. ENJOY YOURSELVES! At work, put music on , let your spirit rise above it all and be who you are meant to be!!!! Let them all see the bear in you …

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.
