Shamanic Animal Appearance – Lion (Leadership)

breathing-lion
Lion says, “Be bold and take a position of leadership. People need you!”

This king of animals is certainly a perfect example of leadership.  It is roaring into your day to tell you that you can also now take a leadership position.  However, don’t be mystified by the fierce and wild nature by the fierce and wild nature of the Lion.  A real leader is not a mere dictator imposing his views on other people.  A real leader is a central point, a coordinator and a facilitator who understands the strengths and weaknesses of everyone.  He can then assign roles, depending on the skills of each individual, allowing everyone to express their unique talents.  Being a leader requires empathy, humility and common sense, as one always serves a greater cause than oneself.  You have all those qualities, so don’t be shy and accept now your full potential as a leader.

AstroTheology – “As Above, So Below”, with Santos Bonnacci

This Science of ‘as above so below’ is the most ancient universal system of harmonizing man with his natural surrounds! The stars above and the stars below, i.e.: our own bodies. Mankind is in harmony with Nature only when he realizes that he is the microcosm of the Universe and a Galaxy unto himself.

Man has lost this profound knowledge over the past few thousand years due to the Precession of the Equinoxes. The dark history of the recent past was foretold by the ancients. Hesiod, Hermes and many others foretold a time when the understanding of the sacred truths would become obscure and the knowledge would have to go underground to be preserved for a future time. That time has now arrived.

Why Food is Actually INFORMATION | GreenMedInfo | Blog Entry

Food, while being the condition for the possibility of all life itself, is rarely appreciated for its true power. Far beyond its conventionally defined role as a source of energy and building blocks for the body-machine, new discoveries on the frontiers of science reveal that food is also a powerful source of information.

Phoenix is saying to you, “Get rid of the past and start afresh!”

Meditation

ice-portal

 

“Any Bodhisattva who undertakes the practice of meditation should cherish one thought only: ‘When I attain perfect wisdom, I will liberate all sentient beings in every realm of the universe, and allow them to pass into the eternal peace of Nirvana.’ And yet, when vast, uncountable, unthinkable myriads of beings have been liberated, truly no being has been liberated. Why? Because no Bodhisattva who is a true Bodhisattva entertains such concepts as ‘self’ and ‘other’. Thus there are no sentient beings to be liberated and no self to attain perfect wisdom…The Buddha has no doctrine to convey. The truth is ungraspable and inexpressible. It neither is nor is not … All Bodhisattvas should develop a pure, lucid mind that doesn’t depend on sight, sound, touch, flavor, smell or any thought that arises in it. A Bodhisattva should develop a mind that alights nowhere. The mind should be kept independent of any thoughts that arise within it. If the mind depends upon anything, it has no sure haven…When I attained Absolute, Perfect Enlightenment, I attained absolutely nothing. That is why it is called Absolute, Perfect Enlightenment.”

~ Diamond Sutra

Can you use electricity to trick your brain into not feeling pain? – The Verge

Can you trick your brain into not feeling pain — without medication? We’ve used electricity to do that for centuries, but this method is newly popular again. Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, or TENS, has become far more accessible since it was approved as an over-the-counter treatment by the US Food and Drug Administration about two years ago. Now, with the country in the midst of an opioid epidemic, doctors and patients and medical-device manufacturers are paying more attention to this form of natural pain management. Think of the machines as “using electricity to rub away pain,” says Mark Johnson, a professor of analgesia at Leeds Beckett University in the United Kingdom. TENS devices are portable machines with electrodes. You put the electrodes wherever you have muscle pain, turn on the device, and feel a tingling sensation. The machine sends electrical pulses through your skin and nerves. The electrical pulses do two things: first, it distracts the brain to prevent the pain signals from reaching the brain. Second, it encourages your body to produce more of its own natural painkillers.

Shamanic Totem Appearance – Grandmother Spider

grandmotherspidersm
“You are the Architect of your life. Express yourself!”

The Spider symbolizes Creativity.  Mother Spider is a very powerful spirit.  Far from the ugly critter image we usually use to depict Her, She is a masterful creator.  The Spider is certainly one of the most talented architects in Nature, and symbolizes art and creativity.  Today, Grandmother Spider is encouraging you to express yourself in a creative form.  It is also reminding you that you are the creator of your life.  We all constantly weave complex mental, emotional and social patterns.  How does your web look?  Clean and structured?  Rough and messy?  Maybe it is time to use your creative power to bring harmony back into your life and focus again on what is important.  As the creator of your reality, you have the power to consciously weave the life of your dreams.  Ask Spider to guide you in this creative process.  As a side note, spiders are also wonderful loving parents.  Some species don’t hesitate to offer their own body so their babies can feed.  This is certainly the ultimate sacrifice a mother could make for her children!  So please, next time you see a spider in your house, don’t kill it.  Thank it for its creative message, and if you don’t want to have it as your guest, then put it gently outside.
