Creating ‘me time’ and a sacred space in which to reflect, release and emerge into the new you. The new you shining, envigorated, bursting, budding like nature at this time of year.

1 large sheet of paper or poster board
3 pieces of paper or cardboard approx. 3” x 5”

You’re in the drivers seat of your healing journey

January 24, 2019January 23, 2019 by Michele Fire-River Heart, posted in Past Relationship Pain Be Gone, Uncategorized

For most of you getting into the driver seat of a car was a process. As children you were driven around by people, then you got to that magical age of being allowed to drive, you learnt to drive and now you are your own driver.

Your healing journey is much the same.
Stage One: an awareness that something needs to change
Stage Two: an awareness that healing has to happen in order for you to change
Stage Three: you are ready and willing to heal and change
Stage Four: you gain some knowledge that affords you the ability to heal and change
Stage Five: you apply that knowledge, resulting in a healing change happening.
Stage Six: increased freedom, increased self acceptance, increased self-esteem
Stage Seven: rinse and repeat Stage Five and Six.

You are in the drivers seat of Your own healing journey,
no matter what help you get along the way,
you are still the one
who has the power to change
or the power to stay the same.

What I have noticed is the universe supports the journey. Opportunities to heal any issue get presented to you, over and over and over again until you are complete with that particular issue and no longer need the opportunity to heal it. Even better is the fact that you will no longer be at the mercy of your past history and buttons in regard to that particular issue, even if you’re faced with that issue again there is no button left to be pushed. Once you set an intent to heal something, opportunities just arise that afford you the ability to fast track that healing and therefore change your life far more quickly than if you have no awareness and set no intent. What also tends to happen is when we ignore the opportunities, hehehe the universe ups the ante and the opportunities become harder and harder to ignore. Personally I have found that working with opportunities as quickly as I can, diminishes the fallout in my world that happens when I ignore them.

~ Less fall out
~ Less for me to clean up
~ A much shorter path to healing and change.

So, you can get drunk with your best friend and whine about why the latest relationship you’re in is so much like the last, or how you have discovered that this new partner has the same traits as a past one, but it just looked different so you didn’t see it at first. You can bemoan all the bad things your partner, your mother or other people ‘do to you’
OR
you can start to look at
~ why you feel that way
~ why you allow yourself to be put down
~ why you put yourself down
~ why you are often depressed
~ why you feel like shit
~ why you are waking up with a hangover yet again

OR you can choose to get in the drivers seat of your life
AND the healing journey that accompanies us all.
YES US ALL
None of us are free and clear of past baggage, habits, wounds,
it’s the quantity that varies
and how you deal with it when it surfaces
that changes how you experience your life.

You are doing the best in every moment even if it doesn’t look pretty,
but wouldn’t it be nice if it was easier,
if your life had less trauma and drama,
if you could wake up happy and go to bed happy?

It’s not a cake walk, but it is attainable.

You can release your past and heal,
without telling stories,
without floods of tears,
without it being work.

Healing ceremonies are powerful ancient tools that afford you this opportunity.

May your journey be powerful
May your heart be happy
May your healing be swift

Wisdom: Habit ~ Today’s Daykeeper is Ik

December 11, 2017December 11, 2017 by Michele Fire-River Heart, posted in Ik, Mayan Daykeepers, WISDOM

Today’s word is HABIT (As in habitual)

We are working with our inner wisdom in this 20 day cycle. I invite you to take a moment, go to your breath, just focus on your breath with the intent of hearing your own wisdom of what you need to hear in relation to the word and the photo. If it speaks to you to write it down each day, or make a symbol, or a piece of art indulge yourself.

Mayan Daykeeper Ik ~ The essence of Ik is birthing through growth, literal & metaphorical.

Ik can manifest in the human experience as
impulses, actions or behaviors that seem
out of character or out of control.
Ik days provide an opportunity to
push beyond your accepted beliefs or those of society.

It is a day for revelations and the realization
that there is more that exists beyond the boundaries we create.
Expand your boundary voluntarily
and be open to new possibilities and unexpected opportunities.
Consider doing something different and unusual
for who you believe yourself to be.

Those born on an Ik day
bring influences from outside to their group or family
that stimulate growth in new directions.

Your interpretation and experience is your own. I can only share my personal understanding, I invite you to find your own truths and their relevance in your life. This is really important. If something resonates great, if not chuck it out. We gain nothing by ‘taking on’ others life experiences and beliefs. The juice and healing comes from within your own understanding, it is pivotal for your healing journey and manifesting what you want.

48 examples of people doing nice things ~ Today’s Daykeeper is Lamat

November 27, 2017 by Michele Fire-River Heart, posted in HUMANE HUMANITY, Lamat, Mayan Daykeepers

People do nice things for other all the time, however with the mainstream media onslaught of negativity sometimes it can feel like everyone sucks. Not true, check this out. From ZEUO: Uplifting and inspiring stories

This is one of my favourites due to the sheer quantity of people that responded.

Mayan Daykeeper Lamat ~ Lamat’s essence is the creative process in all forms.

Lamat’s presence may be experienced as an inner awakening.
It may be a new truth revealing itself and developing.
Lamat may be a growth spurt,
with a sudden movement or development toward success or completion.
When Lamat is the Daykeeper,
you may find that certain activities move along more quickly and easily.
These are good days for manifestation
and for reproducing what has already been done.

Those born on a Lamat day may experience
a new potential within themselves.
It is an ability that appears to be unique
or different from that of family members, friends or associates

89-yr old Man Surprised with $150K After Stranger Sees Him Pushing Popsicle Cart to Make Ends Meet

From the Goodnewsnetwork.org

Mayan Daykeeper K’an ~ K’an symbolically is the seed. The source, the catalyst for something new to come into being. Within humans it is the fire, the love, the creative energy of the heart.

K’an manifests as an apparently destructive force
that eliminates or destroys what is complete.
An example of this is a burning forest that allows for new life to begin there.
K’an is also the feeding or fueling of this new life.
A K’an day is a good day to support and encourage new ideas or plans,
though they may not yet be recognized by others
and may not be ready to be acted on.

Those born on this day may carry or reflect
the potential of future accomplishments.

Love, Love, Love ~ Mayan Daykeeper Ahaw

November 19, 2017 by Michele Fire-River Heart, posted in Ahaw, LOVE MEDICINE WHEEL, Mayan Daykeepers

This 20 day cycle is completed today. Tomorrow brings a new cycle, what is to come? Haven’t a clue, let’s wait and see shall we.

Love, love, love, love, love: 5 is the number for Sacred Humans, and what permeates our lives is love. We all want to be loved and I’d hazard a guess and say we all experience love at some time or another during this lifetime. Why this intense desire for love, why can’t we just be happy without it? Perhaps love is the catalyst for personal growth, the glue that holds the fabric of all our interconnections, all our opportunities of self-discovery and living a juicy life in balance.

~ Parents/Primary Caregiver(s) catalyze our being into this lifetime, and what a bond. As parents we can’t help but fall in love with our children and as children the longing for parental love and acceptance dominates our emotional landscape for a very, very long time. For some it is a lifetime, for some it never gets resolved, for some parental love is absent. However in all cases the longing for parental love is present from what I’ve seen.

~ Life Partner(s) give us an experience of love that is the most intimate and passionate, well at the beginning anyway. Just like that first sip of coffee, first taste of ice-cream, first line of cocaine we chase the high of that experience. Oooh I just felt a whole lot of you cringe at that last analogy. However that beginning phase of ‘falling in love’ is very addictive. We go from that into the sober experience of relationship with our partner(s) and that’s when the mind clears for better or for worse. (pun intended) Life partner(s) help us resolve issues from our childhood. They mirror for us, what needs to be seen at that moment in our journey of self-discovery. How often have we heard of someone picking the same type of partner over and over again, when from the outside it looks like it is to their detriment? Until they learn and heal the issues that are offered by being with this partner, they continue to get the opportunity to do so. So if you’re in a crappy relationship, look deeply into yourself. What needs to heal within you, what needs to change, what needs to be released, so that love can once again be a daily experience in your relationship with a partner(s).

~ Siblings offer us the opportunity to discover who we are as we grow up. So whether your siblings are biological, or not, or are other children you grew up with in the same home, you were/are dramatically influenced by those relationships, and the love or lack thereof within them.

~ Animals: Even though I do not have a pet I automatically smile when I think of animals, and I imagine this is true for most of us. Why? From my perspective; unconditional love. That sweet, pure elusive love that rarely comes from humans, is automatically perceived to be given by animals. Particularly those that live with us. What a gift it is to experience this kind of love.

~ Grandparents can be a wonderful experience of love. These blood relatives know what it is to be parents, but with their grandchildren, have the opportunity to love without the responsibilities of parenting. (Unless of course they are the primary caregivers, in which case they fall into the parental category of love.) How often are grandparents the ones that treat us and facilitate us doing things that are ‘not allowed’. With the freedom they have from mundane parental responsibility they are often the image-makers in our lives that expand what we thought was possible.

~ Friends: ever noticed the emphasis our society attributes to how many friends you have? Do we associate that with how much love we have to give and are given? I’ll leave you to answer that from your perspective. I have noticed that the friends we surround ourselves with are reflections of ourselves. Birds of a feather flock together. When we dramatically change all of a sudden our circle of friends does as well. Friends provide us with mirrors of self-reflection. The more they are like us, the greater our opportunity for self-discovery.

~ Self-Love, ouch this is the one from my perspective that is the barometer of our ability to love. Can you love yourself enough to honour your boundaries, beliefs and needs? Can you love yourself enough to accept your internal challenges and your mistakes? Can you love yourself just as you are now, warts and all? Can you love yourself first and say no when it does not serve you?

~ Children offer us a glimpse of innocence, of naturalness, for a lot of us a mirror of things lost. Over and above our biological love of children in order to sustain the human race, we love that mirror of who we were before life happened and we adapted to survive. Deep down I believe we are aware that this is how we are meant to be in order to be happy and balanced within our own being. Ever noticed that when you play with children, the world fades away, and you are present. Just present not trying to be in the moment, you just are there. As children this was not hard, this was natural. The more childlike we become, the easier life gets. Why? Flexibility, lack of judging, lack of reruns of past history, and imagining scenarios that may or may not happen. We just are, nothing more, our internal world is peaceful and quiet.

~ Spirit: when we engage with the world of spirit, we engage with ourselves. We are after all spiritual beings experiencing a human lifetime, in order to heal and grow, to remember our true nature. Well this is my belief at this moment. I leave you with your own. What is it you believe about spirit?

Mayan Daykeeper Ahaw ~ The essence of Ahaw is completion, culmination, realization, integration.

Ahaw may be experienced as a sense of completion.
This experience may include understanding
the causes and effects that led to this moment.
Ahaw offers the awareness of how completion
relates to the entire cycle of life.

Ahaw’s days are opportunities to see situations
as they fit into the bigger picture.
It is a good time to consider the necessity of certain events
and their involvement in something larger than their immediate effects.

People born on a Ahaw day are sensitive to the cycles of time
and respect the importance of being timely.
They naturally accept that everything plays a part
in something greater than itself.

When I was growing up there was this lovely cartoon series created by New Zealand cartoonist Kim Casali. (Loveiscartoon.com) I remember waiting for the newspaper to see what the cartoon was that day. It is one of the few things that stuck in my memory about that time in my life. So I’m taking a leaf out of her book, sans cartoons to illuminate my thoughts about love in the upcoming blog posts. Some you may agree with some you may not, it is just my opinion, you have your own and that’s as it should be.

I encourage you to add your own in the comments sections & I will add them in.

Mayan Daykeeper Kawak ~ The essence of Kawak is immediate transformation. No heads up, sometimes a change that we don’t even notice happening, it just all of a sudden has happened.

You may experience Kawak
as an immediate shift in consciousness,
a powerful force or a loud violent noise.

On a day with Kawak as Daykeeper,
you are invited to acknowledge and respect life’s mysteries and
all that is beyond your power and control

Those born on a Kawak day
feel a part of something that is beyond normal consciousness.
Their deepest motivations often remain a mystery even to themselves.

Mayan Daykeeper Etz’nab ~ The essence of Etz’nab is letting go. Releasing what needs to go in order to birth something new. Sometimes this will be dramatic other times gentle, either way change is the order of the day.

When present, Etz’Nab may stimulate
a powerful awakening to anger and the need for change.
It can appear as rage or the destruction of an old form.
Through sudden events and changes,
Etz’nab may provoke you to be more present in the moment.

Etz’nab days provide an opportunity to detach from
obsolete motivations and future expectations.
You may want to voluntarily arrive in the present moment.
Recognize that when someone or something outside you
appears to interrupt you by demanding your attention,
you are being invited into the moment.

Those born with Etz’nab as their Daykeeper
are people who recognize and express the need for change.
Their actions often challenge the status quo and
can create change for themselves and others.

Children ….. Love is:
~ Unconditional love (Well when they’re tiny anyway, but oh that is a sweet, sweet time)
~ Hugs & kisses
~ Hand print mother’s day cards
~ Presents they know you’ll love
~ Breakfasts on birthdays
~ Spontaneously doing household chores when their parent(s) are swamped with work
~ Random acts of kindness
~ Forgiveness
~ Elder care: all those adult children taking care of their parents with chronic diseases
~ Coming to visit

Mayan Daykeeper Kaban ~ Kaban’s essence is the human mind, it’s processes & abilities. Plasticity, the positive & negative effects of thought, computational ability.

Kaban may be experienced as mental cleansing,
possibly mental clarity, and, often, mental overwhelm.
On a Kaban day, you may clear your mind
by watching the movement and content of your thinking
without attachment or judgement.
This will enable you to think more clearly
and focus your thoughts on a higher level of consciousness.

Those born with Kaban as their Daykeeper
tend to have unique mental abilities
with a potential to be clear thinkers.
Those talents can be used to access higher levels of consciousness
and effectively resolve conflicts and complex problems.

Mayan Daykeeper Kib ~ Kib’s essence is solitude.

You may experience Kib as the need for solitude or the desire for separation.
Being alone is often necessary to unwind
from intimate or entangled interactions with others.
Kib’s gifts are given to those that can be alone with themselves.

On a day with Kib as Daykeeper,
you may want to find time to be by yourself
or focus on what you can do by yourself alone.
It is an opportune time to separate yourself
from people and things that no longer serve your current needs.
You may feel much better after bringing certain things to a final conclusion.

People born on a Kib day often experience
their most profound revelations in solitude and usually work best alone.
Even in the presence of others
they are able to maintain an independent awareness of self.

Love: Self-Love ~ Today’s Daykeeper is Ix

November 13, 2017 by Michele Fire-River Heart, posted in Ix, LOVE MEDICINE WHEEL, Mayan Daykeepers

Love: Self-love sits in the Northwest of the Love Medicine Wheel

Self-love, the number one priority of all love. Without self-love, life is a misery. The greater self-love we have is directly proportional to our happiness. Now you may be thinking, well that’s a load of twaddle, ‘I know my self-love sucks, but I love other people, which makes me happy’. To a certain extent that is true, but how clean is your love? Does your love come without attachments or expectations, or are there strings attached?

I know for myself my self-love always needs improvement, so I watch to see what underlies things I do. Am I giving a compliment, because I’m actually insecure and want someone else to tell me the same thing? Am I giving the advice that I actually need to give myself and act on? Am I doing things for others to be liked or loved. Am I reacting due to my unhealed past history? Quite often I catch myself, and in those moments if I cannot do or say whatever it is from a clean place without wanting something in return, I do not do or say it. Then there are other days where try as I might I succumb to my need, and yet others where I am oblivious to it all. Paying attention and improving incrementally in the big picture is all I can do, and that’s okay. It’s what we are here to do, heal and grow, learning to love ourselves a little more each day.

~ What is one thing you love about yourself?

Mayan Daykeeper Ben ~ The essence of Ben is our connection to our ancestral lines. Ben is that feeling of family, the warm cozy one. I know that is not true for all of you, however families are created in many ways, through blood, through choice, through friendship. In all cases you have an opportunity to learn from your interactions with your families. Ben holds the energy of interdependent family relationships not co-dependent ones.

Ben expresses in the human experience as
the awareness of family, including both ancestors and
the future potential of the family.

On a Ben day, there may be a general focus on the family
or other dependent relationships.
You may feel more intimate with others around you.
Be careful not to engage those close to you in obsolete family patterns.

Those born with Ben as their Daykeeper
are often responsible and devoted family members.
They may assume the responsibility of being the caretaker of the family

Love: Animals ~ Today’s Daykeeper is Lamat

November 7, 2017 by Michele Fire-River Heart, posted in Lamat, LOVE MEDICINE WHEEL, Mayan Daykeepers

Love: Animals sit in the North of the Love Medicine Wheel

Animals being in the north is no surprise they sit there on other wheels. Our closest animals tend to be pets, and oh the sweet, sweet unconditional love they give. Sometimes it is the only unconditional love we experience in our lifetime, and what a gift it is. Then there are the domestic animals, horses, cows, sheep, chickens, goats, etc. Having lived in the country now for some time I have had the opportunity to interact with some of these guys. They are most certainly not dumb animals, but individuals just like us with their own personality traits. From what I see at annual fall fairs, there is a lot of love from their respective humans.

Interconnections on other medicine wheels:
~ Animals
~ Animal Totems
~ Collective consciousness of the animals
~ Air: Birds
~ Wisdom and knowledge: animals naturalness can teach us about how to be in the world in balance
~ The physical: Can you move like a cat? Action when needed, total relaxation when not.
~ Fear: Animals teach about being alert, rather than fearful
~ Ingenuity: We are learning more and more about the ingenuity of animals here’s a quick video on 3 of them Animal Ingenuity
~ Mindfulness: Animals are masters of this
~ Intentionality: Crows enough said?
~ Self-awareness – Self-awareness not unique to mankind
~ Perception versus projection: Animals don’t project past history or individual paradigms onto their reality. (Well I don’t think so anyway) They live in the moment, perceiving their environment, we can learn to emulate that.
