Uṭṭhahatha! nisīdatha!
Daḷhaṃ sikkhatha santiyā.
Mā vo pamatte viññāya,
maccurājā amohayittha vasānuge.
Rouse yourself! Sit up!
Resolutely train yourself to attain peace.
Do not let the king of death, seeing you are careless,
lead you astray and dominate you.

Aloha kākōu a me aloha kākahiāka. Hauʻōli Aloha Pōʻakāhi. Ī lā āwaiwa nōu ōukōu. Ō kā maluhia nō me ‘oe.
Hello everyone and good morning. Happy aloha Monday. Have a fantastic day everyone. Peace be with you.
Hi I’ve been on the road. Had a beautiful deep Autumn equinox ceremony in my friend Maureen Walton’s beautiful moon lodge/yurt. We sat in the wombspace there was 5 of us in total doing a ceremony and dreaming in the dark wide awake for about two and a half hours.
The dreamy energy continues today Sept. 23

this energy is extremely psychic, soulful, intense and obsessive.

Our wounds and vulnerabilities are easily seen today. No hiding. we are all feeling vulnerable and wounded but can heal ourselves through loving ourselves. This makes us very sensitive to relationship and worldly imbalances and injustice in the world.
Learning to love ourselves without the mirror of the other is a prime issue. We are all struggling with this. Sara Sophia Eisenman pointed this out on FB today and she…

Full Moon blessings to all! Today is the Full Moon in Aries, and our Emperor card is here today to say not so fast. The energy of this card, whether it represents a person, a situation, or some form of governing body, often tends to impose a sense of rigidity. There is a great deal of stability in that which is tried, true, and traditional, but your mood as of late has been one of breakout mode, so this guy may feel like a bit of a party pooper.
Whenever we have Full or New Moons, we always need to ask the question, “What is going on at the time of this New or Full Moon?” Seeing the Emperor show up with his inflexible demeanor may have you pointing a finger at taskmaster Saturn, and you would be absolutely right. There will be a nasty square going on, and I…

Appampi ce saṃhita bhāsamāno,
dhammassa hoti anudhammacārī,
rāgañca, dosañca, pahāya mohaṃ,
sammappajāno suvimuttacitto,
anupādiyāno idha vā huraṃ vā,
sa bhāgavā sāmaññassa hoti.
Little though one recites the sacred texts,
but puts the Teaching into practice,
forsaking lust, hatred, and delusion,
with true wisdom and emancipated mind,
clinging to nothing of this or any other world —
one indeed partakes of the blessings of a holy life.
Dhammapada 1.20
The Dhammapada: The Buddha’s Path of Wisdom, translated from Pāli by Acharya Buddharakkhita
Aloha āwakea, nā Kānaka! Mālāma i ka ke aloha i lōko o kōʻōukōu mau lā. ‘Īke āku, ‘īke mai. Kōkua āku, kōkua mai. Peīa kā nohona ‘ōhana. ‘Ōlioli i keīa lā.
You have come too far to turn back now. Remember, what you choose to do is your business, the opinions of others truly do not matter. Perhaps with yesterday’s Fool card you actually did choose to do something a bit more spontaneous and throw caution to the wind. If people are convening to criticize you for doing so, pay them no mind. They are either with you, or they are against you, but there is no reason for you to give an inch and concede.
The 7 of Wands is my Tom Petty card. ‘I Won’t Back Down’ pretty much sums it all up, and the perseverance which is necessary, in spite of the odds, is what ultimately leads one to success. Life can be like a game of Tug-of-War at times, with you feeling as though you are one end of the rope, and everyone else is at the…

Have you been trying to break out, break free, and have a fresh start? Let the Fool lead the way. Just like a small child has not learned fear, has not become jaded by life, so too does the Fool have a carefree attitude.
Today may be a day where you simply decide to go for it, throwing caution to the wind, and letting the chips fall where they may. Adventure awaits, if you only dare to take that leap.
See you here tomorrow!

September 22 2018 is Autumn Equinox, equal day and equal night, a time for balance as the seasonal wheel turns. September 24 is the Harvest Moon, the full Moon that’s closest to Autumn Equinox. This Harvest Moon is in Fire sign Aries, bringing energy and vitality. Aries inspires action, and an independent spirit, during this full Moon and as this lunar cycle wanes.
The full Moon, Sun, and Mercury are all in harmonious aspects to Mars, newly in Aquarius. Mars brings courage, self reliance, and stamina. It’s fortunate to engage in physical activity to strengthen the mind and spirit, as well as the body. It’s also a good time to examine motivations, and decide what projects to forward or to complete. Contact me for your tarot consultation about choices and direction.

Sukhā virāgatā loke,
Kāmānaṃ samatikkamo;
Asmimānassa yo vinayo —
etaṃ ve paramaṃ sukhaṃ.
Blissful is passionlessness in the world,
The overcoming of sensual desires;
But the abolition of the conceit I am —
That is truly the supreme bliss.
Udāna 2.11
The Udāna and the Itivuttaka, trans. John D. Ireland
The Bacopa monniera herb, also known as Brahmi, has been used as a traditional Ayurvedic treatment for mental issues, epilepsy, and asthma. In fact, its documented medicinal uses can be traced back to the 6th century A.D.
A classic brain and nerve tonic, Bacopa is a medicinal herb that has been used effectively for several thousand years as a brain and nervous system restorer. The herb is known to increase mental clarity and promote improved memory and intelligence. It also assists in heightening mental acuity and supports the physiological processes involved in relaxation. In other words, it can keep you feeling relaxed while also boosting mental clarity, your focus, and mood. In fact, Bacopa is thought to help nourish neurons as it restores depleted synaptic activity.
Bacopa Monniera for Improved Memory
A 2006 double-blind, randomized study published in the Indian Journal of Psychiatry showed that the control group taking 125…

All I can say is it is about time! You have been trying and trying, have been in breakout mode for a little bit now, and, just like the figure in the image, today you get over one of those hurdles. Honestly, this is exactly what your self confidence ordered. This is a card of victory, and, when achieved, it sure does feel good to strut your stuff and say “Look what I just did!”. After all, this has been a bit of an obstacle course, and there are obviously more hurdles to be encountered.
The 6 of Wands brings the type of success where others recognize your efforts and praise you for your accomplishments. A pat on the back, an “attaboy”, perhaps even your fifteen minutes of fame, any, and all are possible. You know that feeling when you are lagging behind in the race, and suddenly you gain…

Bahumpi ce saṃhita bhāsamāno,

Much though one recites the sacred texts,
but acts not accordingly,
that heedless one is like a cowherd
who only counts the cows of others —
one does not partake of the blessings of the holy life.

Idha modati pecca modati;
katapuñño ubhayattha modati.
So modati so pamodati,
disvā kammavisuddhimattano.
The doer of good rejoices here and hereafter;
one rejoices in both the worlds.
One rejoices and exults,
recollecting one’s own pure deeds.
Dhammapada 1.16
The Dhammapada: The Buddha’s Path of Wisdom, translated from Pāli by Acharya Buddharakkhita
Aloha kākahiāka a me hauʻōli lā Pōʻahā kākōu. E hiki ia ōukōu a pau i kā pomaika’i ō kā lā. Ō kā malukhia nō me ʻoe.
Good morning and Happy Thursday, everyone. May you all have a blessed day. Peace be with you.
It is possible that today may come off feeling a bit distracting. Perhaps there are too many things in front of you which need your attention, or even an intentional situation designed to redirect your focus. In order to understand what I mean, think of it in a political sense, with something aimed to divert your attention from the reality of what is really happening. You could find the idea of making decisions difficult today, especially when dealing with those who may wish to deceive you by pulling the wool over your eyes.
The 7 of Cups can be a bit of a reality check, whether it be with your own hopes and dreams, decisions, or intentions. You may need to step back and analyze your options with a more down-to-earth approach. There can be disillusionment, perhaps through a feeling of being overwhelmed. Choices are not always easy. If you…

Sutta Nipāta 2.397
The Discourse Collection: Selected Texts from the Sutta Nipāta, translated by John D. Ireland
If you come to me as a victim I will not support you.
But I will have the courage to walk with you through the pain that you are suffering.
I will put you in the fire, I will undress you, and I will sit you on the earth.
I will bathe you with herbs, I will purge you, and you will vomit the rage and the darkness inside you.
I’ll bang your body with good herbs, and I’ll put you to lay in the grass, face up to the sky.
Then I will blow your crown to clean the old memories that make you repeat the same behavior.
I will blow your forehead to scare away the thoughts that cloud your vision.
I will blow your throat to release the knot that won’t let you talk.
I will blow your heart to scare fear, so that it goes far away where it cannot find you.
I will blow your solar plexus to extinguish the fire of the hell you carry inside, and you will know peace.
I will blow with fire your belly to burn the attachments, and the love that was not.
I will blow away the lovers that left you, the children that never came.
I will blow your heart to make you warm, to rekindle your desire to feel, create and start again.
I will blow with force your vagina or your penis, to clean the sexual door to your soul.
I will blow away the garbage that you collected trying to love what did not wanted to be loved.
I will use the broom, and the sponge, and the rag, and safely clean all the bitterness inside you.
I will blow your hands to destroy the ties that prevent you from creating.
I will blow your feet to dust and erase the footprints memories, so you can never return to that bad place.
I will turn your body, so your face will kiss the earth.
I’ll blow your spine from the root to the neck to increase your strength and help you walk upright.
And I will let you rest.
After this you will cry, and after crying you will sleep,
And you will dream beautiful and meaningful dreams,
and when you wake up I’ll be waiting for you.
I will smile at you, and you will smile back
I will offer you food that you will eat with pleasure, tasting life, and I will thank you.
Because what I’m offering today, was offered to me before when darkness lived within me.
And after I was healed, I felt the darkness leaving, and I cried.
Then we will walk together, and I will show you my garden, and my plants, and I will take you to the fire again.
And will talk together in a single voice with the blessing of the earth.
And we will shout to the forest the desires of your heart.
And the fire will listen and whisper the echo, and we will create hope together.
And the mountains will listen and whisper the echo, and we will create hope together.
And the rivers will listen and whisper the echo, and we will create hope together.
And the wind will listen and whisper the echo, and we will create hope together.
And then we will bow before the fire, and we will call upon all the visible and invisible guardians.
And you will say thank you to all of them.
And you will say thank you to yourself.
And you will say thank you to yourself.
And you will say thank you to yourself.
Ten Aspects of a Long Term Effort – Carlos Cardoso Aveline
In order to follow the path to wisdom, one must have an accumulated will. It is a good idea to be daily alone for some time, in silence, calmly examining the highest and most inspiring dimensions of life. […]

Pāṇaṃ na hane na ca ghātayeyya,

Ye thāvarā ye ca tasā santi loke.
One should not kill a living being,
nor cause it to be killed,
nor should one incite another to kill.
Do not injure any being, either strong or weak, in the world.
