Animal Spirit Guides ~ Horse Medicine

A message from Cherokee with Sharon Taphorn

Horse medicine is about inner strength, endurance, and action. Taming the horse allowed for the human being to move faster and carry more. He allowed for increase in speed and overcoming the distance. Before the horse, there was only foot power. Horse also teaches us wisdom of direction as horse will always bring you home.

If horse has entered your dream time, you are wise to heed the message as it comes with great wisdom.

Cherokee was the very first horse I ever rode and he came to me as we were discussing animal medicine. I was four years old and he was a young stud who was being rescued from someone turning him loose with some wild horses out in the Nemiah Valley. He lived to be over 30 and had some wonderful homes and my Mom saw him up till the end as he ended up down the valley from her and is buried there. He had a good life and was loved by all the owners who had him. It turned out that over the past week we had a series of 'co-incidents' around Cherokee and his life as I met the girl who first rescued Cherokee at 3 days old through my work with Meals on Wheels. She was a teenager and loaded him in the back of her mothers car as he was going to be killed because his mother was a bucking bronc who they didn't want to be nursing a baby. He as hand raised and fed by her through a bottle. When we got him he had been taken by one her brothers and was going to be released into the wild until my Uncle Bud rescued him and we bought him. He was under 2 years old at that time. We did not know that we knew where he had come from until now and Lorna now knows the wonderful story of the rest of his life and has closure.

So, when Cherokee first came to me I was surprised. He wasn't my horse growing up so while I always loved him, it wasn't the bond I had with some of the other horses. Now that I am aware of his life and what he endured and what a lucky horse he was and how lucky those of us who shared in his life truly are, I am amazed and not surprised as he had so much to teach us.

I have learned and I am amazed at the intricacies of life and spiritual family. Two of my most beloved Uncles not by birth weave through the web of my life through this story and are two men that today I still cherish and that shows me the strength of spiritual family.

It also serves to remind me that it takes a village to raise a child and we are all that, be we two legged, four legged, or winged ones. We all need help and support and this is why family and soul family are important and there for us and this is part of what horse medicine has to teach us, about family and supporting each other.

Sharon's Take August 2014 ~ Indulge your Creative and Imaginative Self

Sharon's Take August 2014

~ Indulge your Creative and Imaginative Self by Sharon Taphorn

This month offers opportunities for expansion of your 6th senses, in particular your third eye connection and your ability to see more than meets the eye. Many of you may find yourself going through the vibrational flu this month as you have been doing the work over the past few months that will lead to this change. This is the time to set your intention and stay focused and not get caught up in all of the drama that is happening for those who have not been doing their work and or still believe that they are stuck as a victim of life and circumstance instead of learning from those experiences, completing the cycles and moving on to something more amazing for themselves and their lives.

August is an important month in terms of the expansion of the growth to reap the rewards of the harvest and so this is the time to allow for your expansion. It is a time of opportunities and good fortune. Are you open and willing to receive all good things in your life? Are you open to your spirit guides messages of love and expansion? Are you connecting and becoming one with your higher self on a regular basis?

Now is the time to start!

This is an auspicious time and can be extraordinarily powerful for those who are observant and careful about what their thinking as you will find there is little effort needed to manifest your intentions as you become the master of your thoughts and feelings. Indulge your creative and imaginative side and you will be rewarded with seemingly magical creation, but really it is truly the rewards of a job well done and you did that work.

If you find yourself or your thoughts wandering into those of lack, remind yourself of all the things in your life that are wonderful - like food, loved ones, shelter, or even the very gift of life itself, be grateful. Ask for whatever you want and then imagine it as if you already have it. Feel what it is like to live life as if it is here already. If you feel any blocks then look at those more deeply as there is something deep within you that believe that this is not so or attainable and begin to work with that aspect of yourself.

Monitor your thoughts and feelings as these are the barometer of your inner knowingness and your connection with your higher self.

Detaching from the drama

Creating Sacred Space for yourself and your home and your work will serve you well as it is important to detach from the drama all around you. There is much that serves to distract you and fill you with feelings that don't support you or your growth and it can become a challenge to keep you focus when you get caught up in all the drama that is happening around you.

There are times to fight for what you believe in and times to lay down your swords and surrender. If you were in imminent danger your reactions and actions are quite different than they are otherwise. It is also good to remember that discontent is what helps to shift your world, what speaks of your integrity and growth is how you respond to that discontent and we hope that you remember to always add love into the equation so that you will see better results than imagined.

With all the shifts and changes it is so important to have that space to just be and enjoy the moment with no other agenda than that moment. It is important for your mental well-being and spiritual growth and taking the time to allow for this is essential for your growth. You will see better results manifesting for you when you take this time out for yourself where you feel safe, comfortable and can talk with your higher self, highest guides and angels.

Be really clear on your communications with others as there seems to be so much going on that people aren't even aware they are not paying the slightest attention to what is actually going on around them and sometimes if feels like you are in a completely different dimension that you were the day before and well, that very could be. So, just be open and except that you are where you are and go on from there.

Astrology-and-Your-Birth-Chart by Gill Potter

I liked this article and its simplicity...enjoy

Astrology-and-Your-Birth-Chart

What Does it All Mean?

The Birth chart or horoscope is a picture or snapshot of the heavens when observed from a certain point on the Earth and the picture changes every few minutes. That's why it’s unique and can clearly show exactly what it is you came to Earth to be and do. When its interpreted from your soul's perspective it’s very illuminating and can help you to understand more of your life path and journey.

As Carl Jung who studied and worked with astrology said, “Whatever is born or done this moment of time has the qualities of this moment of time.”

Gill Potter is the author of Sacred Paths Entwined. Gill works with clients worldwide using astrology and archetypes to know more about their life path and purpose. Contact Gill at gill@joyfulsteps.com or for more information visit www.joyfulsteps.com.

Sharon's Take Update

How have you been feeling this past month? It has been the first time that we have had this long of break in the solar flares and other sun activity in a few years, we have had only two solar flares so far, one of the 1st and one on the 9th and only a few active days in between, the rest have been normal. I can't actually remember the last time we had more than a few days of normal in a month. We have had almost 2 weeks of it straight of normal which ended by becoming active on the 24th. This is the longest period of normal that I have seen in years... years! That is amazing. I am so very much guided to add that using this time wisely as we prepare for August will help you immensely. I feel this huge wave of energy coming and it can be your friend or foe... it is up to you to decide.

I am not usually one to advise people to prepare for a big shift as so many times in the past I heard this message, prepared for big shifts, and saw little change beyond the few days following and yet I feel there is one coming that will be monumental for many and my advise is to take advantage of it. I do recall a few other times when I felt this and I did see those who were doing their work lives shift in big ways so I shall be sure to take up this opportunity and get myself together over the next week.

For me it has been such a busy time, with a new puppy and my granddog Wesley, I have been extra busy and I do find that it is easier to get things done right now with this break and that my focus is easier to keep. It has been an odd feeling to have this long of a quiet time energetically speaking and it has been nice at the same time. However I have been asked several times if I am sure that mercury retro has gone off and it has although I too have had that same thought and checked the sun's status for a flare, only to find it calm. I am truly not clear on what is causing this influence and so perhaps one of my astrologer friends will enlighten me so that I can share or pass it on to you.

I am not an astrologer as it seems too complicated for me, I do however know my own chart and think that is important as it is a snapshot of your birth and what you planned to do in this lifetime much like your birth numbers and they do not really change. (I say do not really change as there is evidently a new astrology that uses a recalculation taking into consideration physics understanding of the universe... and it does affect my rising sign because it shifted within seconds of my birth...so sometimes I get an Aries rising and others give me a Pisces rising... Anyway, the site I would like to share with you is astrolabe as they will give you a free print out of your chart and where the planets are for you. http://alabe.com/freechart/

Anyway, enjoy this down time and if you are doing nothing during it, that is okay as it is most important to just be true and honour you. August should bring us an interesting time, so try to be prepared energetically.

12 Love Lessons with the Angels

12 Love Lessons with the Angels

Working with your angels can help you expand your understanding of your world, those around you and how to work better with all of life’s challenges and find balance, peace and harmony for yourself. Here are 12 Love Lessons from the angels to help you to master and gain a higher understanding of the world and your place within it.

http://www.beliefnet.com/Love-Family/Galleries/12-Love-Lessons-with-the-Angels.aspx

Unconditional Love has No other Agenda

Develop your empathy so that you better understand things and at a deeper level. You are then able to look at the situation from its truth and to also understand what is most important, and that is that only love is real. “

I give and receive love unconditionally.”

Love has Many Forms

It is okay for you to choose how you express your love. Open your awareness to the treasures of the world around you. Everyone shows their love in different ways and when you become aware of the many forms of love you become aware of the underlying aspect of all life. Be okay with love and be open to its true expression in its many forms as long as it is based in Love.

“I see the loving actions of others being expressed all around me through thoughts and feelings of unconditional love and the actions of service of others to everyone and to all that is.”

Be Pure of Heart

Be true to yourself. Let go of anything inauthentic and all activities that do not mirror your highest intentions and desires for yourself. If there is something that is not working in your life at this time, be willing to release it and start again. It is safe for you to be you and you are reminded that a spark of Creator light dwells within your sacred heart.

“It is safe for me to be my authentic and true self. I am a being of Love.”

Love is the Journey

Awaken your sense of awe and wonder. Every day you are making new discoveries about yourself, your life, and your world. Awaken your sense of awe and wonder as you explore and play with the Universe. Keep your heart and your mind open to fresh information and new experiences that are available to you and see what new discoveries each day can bring.

“My life is a wonderful journey of continued self-discoveries”

All Prayers are Heard and Answered

Your prayers are always being heard and always being answered. Sometimes you may not feel this way, because the answer comes in unexpected ways. The Angels request that you be extra observant. Notice everything that you hear, say, think, and feel. Be especially alert to help that comes to you, and be sure to accept that help. You do deserve this assistance, and many times God enlists people to act as Earth Angels who bring you answers that you seek.

“When I ask for assistance, I remember to become extra observant for the messages and signs designed to assist me in making the best choices for myself and my life.”
