Calling the Storm...

The following is an excerpt from our upcoming E-Book,
"The Medicine of the Circle"

Medicine is not limited by circumstance.
It lives in the thunderstorm as much as the sunlight. All directions are present in everything, all it takes is reflection and interaction to recognize them. Wherever you are, you always stand in the center.
Take the thunderstorm for instance. The clouds gather and the expectancy rises in the air. You look up and listen to the thunder beings drumming their song. You hear the sound and tap your feet on the earth and drum in return. To the South, the Lightening beings flicker and dance before your eyes. You turn and dance in return. To the west, the rain spirits fall down in a sprinkle, soon to turn into a small deluge. You feel them on your skin and give thanks for the touch. To the North, mother earth call the rain down to her, to nourish the plants and give the animals drink. You sing right along with her and call the rains. The animal kingdom is seeking shelter but the birds are still singing the rain down too. You offer to the plant kingdom corn and tobacco. You thank the elements and the kingdoms for coming together in such a way... and appreciate your own witness of the storm.

The *action* of Interaction is the difference, the reverence required to see the medicine wheel in all aspects of your being is all part of our purpose for being here. Offering, dancing, drumming, singing, observing, honoring, thinking…these are all ways our ancestors walked through each day. These actions are what make our Earthwalk real and true in the moment. We are *supposed* to have relationship with the elements and kingdoms and all whom we share this walk with.

Without the interaction or the *relationship* with our world and humankind and all that is offered to us, we lose our compass and our path. If you are to have purpose and evolve yourself and the planet, (for why else would you be here at this time and place?)…you must be part of All That Is.

…and since there is really no separation anyway…Why not dance in the rain and bless it?!
A-HO!

summer
Oh the JOY of MidSummer! …A perfect blue sky and breeze rustling the leaves…the trees and grass in full growth, lush and full of LIFE!  

The word *Solstice* literally means, “standing still”…The sun ceases its northward arc, and then will eventually begin to move southward on the horizon as we swing back to Equinox. It is a magical moment, like those few seconds of lightness at the arc of a swing, where flight seems almost natural, inevitable… That fullness embodies the height of summer and the fullness surrounding us. On the Medicine Wheel, the South, Summer & Fire represent – Nurturing, Joy, and Fullness. This is the time to revel in what fills you up, makes you shine your brightest, what sparks your Heart’s desire. Creative energies are at their peak, bursting with possibility.

While sitting in my yard yesterday, feeling the breeze and sunlight wash over me…listening to the sounds of nature, breathing in the smells of grass and flower, looking at the myriad of shades of GREEN that abound as nature grows, I thought about the difference between the seasons as they reveal themselves. Its one thing to feel that excitement seeing the first shoots of life in the Spring…quite another to realize those shoots are now waist high grass! (This makes my cat think he is a tiger hiding in the jungle, hunting grasshoppers.)

There is still some time before the harvest, and our lesson until then is to continue to cultivate our inner garden. We get to fertilize and care for that which we choose to nurture in our lives, while weeding out false beliefs, actions, or people who do not serve our Hearts and ourselves.

Meanwhile – Recognize the “arc” that this point on the year-wheel gives us and revel in the fullness, the bursting forth of life, the joy that Mother Earth feels as she does what she does best. Let your own petals unfurl in the Summer sun!
