The steps that involve releasing anything that no longer serves. When your time has come to sit in the sun and start co/creating and attracting what you truly desire for your life in the now, based on who you are in the present. I have listed below the emotions as well as the bliss that will come when one lets go and let flow with spirit

Change is rarely a surprise, usually you would have been given one or numerous heads up as spirit told me two months ago, prepare for change. We can resist, put on back burner until something happens to escalate and inspire you to take the steps you need to take.

1, Denial of what intuition has been telling you

2, Fear of change, resistance to the change

3, Grieve the old so the new can be born

4, Pray like there is no tomorrow

5, Know when your time has come, invest in faith not fear

6, Be willing to forgive

7, You are worthy

8, Trust in spirits plan to show you the way with intuition, step by step

As a wise Master and dear friend said to me of late, when I shared how a recent needed change came down, his words are perfect as it all unfolded rather intense and not how I thought it would, yet on the other side when the dust settled bliss, absolute calm and assurance, though I had to work through all of the steps. Yes, Gods dynamite is powerful in all of his and her grace to get you awake, to know the time has come to release what no longer serves, as we must make room for our new good.

Be blessed on your path of becoming and awaking your true hearts desire, allow spirit to guide you into the landscape of your dreams come true, yet more importantly, you did it, even when fear and resistance tried to stand in your way, the prospering power of release brought on by intuition in alignment with spirit, created new opportunities for you to shine and breathe in a new life force that is called faith in action.

In my line of work as a healer, spiritual teacher and mostly when I did in person readings full time for a wide variety of companies, bookstores, events and one on one private sessions. All clients enjoyed sitting at my reading table, receiving a sage blessing, validation and extra wisdom and healing advice from my Animal cards or Animal totem Spirit cards as I like to refer to them.

The animals have much to teach and share with us, on my own healing journey and spiritual becoming, it was my connection with the animals since being a young lad raised in the backwoods, with strong roots in the Native community, Irish, Jewish and French culture.

Where the healing ways of old and the ability to work with animal medicine or totems if you will, was a natural way of living and believing beyond the vale of what is in front of you. Powerful, healing and certainly helped me many times in my life, this includes when needed Bear Spirit protection out in the big city streets, where gay people, the two spirited were not always welcomed or safe in certain places and areas, so thank you bear for always looking out for me.

It was a wonderful African psychic name Lucy who once read for me, who was delighted to report to me within the reading, that I had the ability to communicate with the animals and they with me. She was so right, as a lot of my youth when not running around getting into some form of rebellious trouble. I was up in the woods, just sitting and talking to the wildlife that filled the wide-open spaces and they speaking to me.

To this day, each morning, I pull a few totem animal spirit cards to see who is walking with me today, what healing, learning or issues needs fine tuning and addressing as well as what blessings are coming up the pathway. I could go into a more In-depth translation, but I will share a few Animal totems and their meaning listed below.

They are all around us and we do not need to go deep in the woods to receive a message, it can come from a city crow to an ant passing in front of you while enjoying your Starbucks.

Eagle; Taking flight, following the joys of your heart, not bound or closed in, the Eagle is always a sign of great spirit and one’s connection to spirit and the heavens, powerful totem and fortuitous omen indeed

Bear; The mother energy, powerful healer and protector, reminding us at times to go inward, to be in the cave of healing and solitude

Turtle; Patience and like the story goes slow and steady wins the race and turtles shell protects and they can give a warning snap and slap if need be

Ant; The totem of patience, faith and trust, that your good is EnRoute to you if you do not see it in the now, the ant message is always one of victory when patience, strategy and faith are put into the mix

Owl; The wisdom of clairvoyance, psychic ability, like attracts like and if you look around your life you will see others who have this ability as you do who are close to you, seeing clearly, never being fooled but the visible, lightning up our blind side to see truth in all situations and forms

Armadillo; Love this one, the totem of Boundaries, its shield on its back and protects its under belly that is soft and tender, setting one’s boundaries, call on this one when your feeling overwhelmed by other people’s energies

Lady Bug; In Feng Shui we call her the totem of luck and good fortune, never ever kill these littles ones like ants and beetles, if they are around and you would like them gone, simple say a prayer and send them the message that they have 48 hours or other time to find a new home, I love when Lady Bug lands on my hand or shoulder

Crow; The shape shifter, bringing and intergrading past, present in future into the now. The black birds in native culture are considered the lucky ones not dark forces like the movies portray, they are magical, very smart and a tad mischievous, which only adds to their allure

May all the animal totems and messengers bless you with healing, guidance and positive validation as we call on them and learn to walk in balance, we are here to assist them as well with our light, prayers, respect and gratitude…

It’s amazing, but this past year I have been seeing, feeling and reviewing visual and messages from my past, yes that past, all the way back there into my childhood. Am I finally in a place in my life? That I have a desire to share them from this place, of being a wise 60-year-old life traveller and spiritual adventurer?

Yes it is time and it does not get any more clear, when I am sitting across the room from my desk and computer, and I think to myself what shall we do today, and a few moments before and daily I hear “Write The Book” oh you mean that best seller, then my computer screen opens up to a blank page on word, hello, message received.

It has taken me many years to even want to do a book, look back and tell my story, but I trust the timing and mostly I trust that inner voice that speaks to me and I hear, which is always spirit lead and it feels good to look back and not in anger, fear, shame or hurt. That the whole package was not one big horror show, there were so many high lights and success and dreams come true along the way, amongst all needed healing and experiences.

So today, is your story and I mean all of it, filled with wisdom earned or only the bad parts that hurt and wounded you? And if it is, are you ready to write a new story? I know I am, only this time I get to turn the pages in positive reflection and say what really happened, that has made me the man who has come to know grace in my life this day.

Rise Up To Your Greatness 

In this life, the saying goes we create our own reality. I am not sure who coined this statement, but it gets used a lot and perhaps at times to much, without digging a little deeper.

Certain things will happen to us in this life that were not planned by us, they just happened. So, I do not believe we intentionally would create a nightmare to live. The saying is there to remind us, that we can redirect our thoughts and our energies else where, when we find ourselves perhaps, oh lets say, over thinking a tiny slight from another making it bigger than it is, this would be from the unhealed inner sabotage guy or girl.

Playing small or reverting back to old behaviours that do not empower or feed your soul, your greatness to stand tall and shine, does no one any good, even the one person standing in front of you that you would rather avoid a confrontation with or seeing.

Rise up, the time is now, and it is later than we may think to be bold in the driver’s seat of our life. I am reminded of that wonderful Marianne Williams quote, that speaks of our greatness, that we fear our greatness and fabulous light more than the shadow.

We always have a choice, may todays choices lead to even greener pastures where we live in our grace, our shared smarts and creativity, that can bloom under the light of daily inspiration and not be afraid to shine in the face of any giant, real or imagined past or present, the giant or scary monster being the ego that would tell us to stay low to the ground and not shine, and now we say No, To Playing Small.

“A Preparation Statement For The Day”

Today, Spirit, I desire Buddha love, Self love to be with me, to observe with love and to execute my task with love and to know that all I bring to this beautiful planet is of value…I am grateful for my co/creation with you and the knowingness of your strength and courage within me is enough…I connect my body and I anchor with you and all is effortless flow and flow becomes love!!! With great great Gratitude thank you thank you thank you!!!!

The above blessing came to me from my dear soul sister in Toronto, Style Goddess Pamela whom I have known for well over 20 years or so, we met working on set for the TV show Due South and connected through our love of good style, spirit and creativity.

I love the idea of committing to having a daily preparation statement, this one, touched my heart and I find myself reading it over and over throughout the day. One does benefit greatly each day no matter the challenges or the blessings, to remain connected to soul and spirit.

Happy Thanksgiving one and all, Michael

“Are you presently receiving guidance to take action in any way? Name that action and write down what your response is – particularly if you are deliberately creating a path of postponement” From Caroline Myss on Courage 

Todays wisdom blog; could be called a mixing bowl of many blessings as the title says Courage, Boundaries and living with more Joy. My reasoning and way of thinking why we could use all three types of emotions and spiritual wisdom is in the following.

Courage; in order to create any lasting positive change and to have a new way of living and even viewing the world and our circumstances, it  takes a willingness to go beyond what we may perceive or wish what was not happening, rather than to ask Courage that lives within us, to kick start what needs to happen in the now and this includes acts of verbal expression, that may have been pushed back do to fear of up setting the apple cart of ones life and other people.

Boundaries; I would say, in order to set boundaries and speak ones truth not from blame of resentment, does take some courage, can be hard especially for the unhealed people pleasers amongst us and god bless you if you still are. It may feel weird to set a boundary, as it can at times create some fall out and energetic resistance one feels from where you are setting the boundary, yet all good roads of wisdom start fresh from here and grow forward in grace.

Joy; is the natural outcome of following your true hearts desire and living your expressiveness without any apologies or worries of what others may think, joy is the power to call on from spirit, to infuse your spiritual practice with, when too many triggers or new healing awernesses have arrived and you may have forgotten, that there is more to life than always being in a process or taking this life and ones journey way to personally. Joy the natural out come from living with more courage and setting healthy boundaries, that raises ones vibration into greater self respect and loving compassion with kidness for all, and this includes you.

What Does Emotional Freedom Mean To You???

Welcome to a new week at Wisdom Blog

Most times these days, when the urge to write a new article comes, the words come right onto this page, editing as we go along and sometimes it takes a few reviews to edit my words.

The Eagle spirit totem means so much to my heart and way of living, it is one of my power totems. Eagle represents freedom, flying free unencumbered by the problems of the world, it is our true connection to spirit, god the divine, as Eagles fly closest to the sun and the heavens. Eagles message is always to give yourself permission to follow the joys of your heart.

We can spend our whole lives and waking days in the false drudgery of thinking we do not have a choice, or the power to allow ourselves to be free to follow our hearts, When your living in emotional freedom, your energy field radiates lightness, ease, joy and creative flow.

Today I choose to welcome and breathe in Emotional Freedom which means, no obsessing, no over thinking, staying fully in this moment of the now in gratitude, counting my blessings and not what is missing or a desire.

The ability to be honest with ones self, to grow into your spiritual maturity in wisdom, grace, love and gratitude, to walk ones talk and now taking action from discernment and intuition is freeing on many levels.

Emotional Freedom, the call from within and you know your living it when a quiet contentment fills your heart, your mind and your body, this to me is what peace and flying free with Eagles feels like.
