Amazing animals and yet the cull continues, based on shaky science.

Have you ever seen live badgers in the wild? 🦡💕

They’re the builders of the animal world – with some badger homes being older than your house.

Badgers are expert engineers, digging complex underground homes called setts. Some setts have been continuously used and expanded for over 100 years, with multiple generations developing them into true badger mansions - complete with several rooms, ventilation, and emergency exits!

May this Winter Solstice bless you with the power of self-healing, reflection and renewal.

May the shortest of days bring you comfort, joy and peace.

May the darkness bring the promise of light and love for you and all those you hold dear, both those who walk the earth beside us and those who’ve gone before.

May this Yuletide bless this planet and all our relations. 😀🙏🏼

HOW BEAR STAR GOT ITS NAME: PART 2

My first weekend of Earth wisdom teachings and the nerves were real.

I had no idea what to expect and whether my cynical head would convince me everything I experienced was my imagination going into overdrive.

It was a two-day introduction to shamanism course and I was there to dip my toe into a world I knew very little about.

I’d booked, with cynical head firmly screwed on (ex journos, or at least this one, can be like that), to find out for myself about this ancient way of life after hearing my wife rave about it.

End of the first day and my brain was on fire. Head full of questions. Heart too. Intrigued, challenged, exhilarated, moved, humbled. So many emotions. Far too many to put into words.

Climbing into bed that night, we’d been instructed to try and connect with a medicine piece on the altar and ask for a teaching from it.

Tired and emotional, I focused and focused on the altar piece, but nothing came. Only darkness and the snores of my roommates.

Deflated and defeated, I turned over in bed to get some sleep before day 2 arrived.

As I sank into the pillow, I felt myself drifting to the land of Nod. Deeper, and deeper, and deeper.

But then…

Two big, black, oval eyes. Staring at me and into me. All consuming. Pulling me higher and faster into their world.

It felt like part of me was lifting out of my body and up into the night sky, far above the house, into the stars, looking down on our beautiful blue planet.

I’ve never been a rollercoaster fan and this was the ultimate bone shaker.

With a racing heart beat, I sat bolt upright in bed, opened my eyes and came back down into concensus reality with a bump.

My first introduction to the stars and its people.

The experience stayed with me for years, but I did nothing with it.

It probably didn’t help that my teacher pretty much dismissed what I’d seen. She was more concerned with my homework ‘failure’.

I felt a little embarrassed. After all, only real oddballs talked about star guides, right? It felt like one spiritual step away from little green men. A figment of my active imagination.

I finished the course, filed the Grey encounter under ‘unusual experiences’ and got on with my life.

But then, as I travelled further along the earth medicine and shamanic paths, my black eyed guide began to re-appear.

At first it was short dream appearances, next came shamanic journeys and then through the power of deep meditation, medicine walks and other mindful activities.

They weren’t going anywhere. Every time I tried to ignore them, they’d find a way to attract my attention.

Over the years I’ve been introduced to a collection of star guides - a ‘committee’ of advisers if you like - in various forms - all helping me with self-development, healing practices and general life advice.

I’ve learned about their long history with indigenous communities across the globe, about how many are a part of us as we are of them, and how my Bear guide works as a bridge between us. Bear helps me to connect and keeps me grounded when working with such high, refined energies.

I’ve been shown things that have made me look at the night sky so differently, that have shown me that we are truly terrestrial toddlers, light years away from the knowledge and understanding of our alien ancestors and descendants.

They are here among us. They are us.

They have so much to teach us, just as they tried to teach me that first night, and ever since.

All we need to do is wake up and learn how to open our minds and hearts to their teachings in a safe and held way.

Just as I was told after my first encounter with a very insistent Bear (see my earlier post on this page), when you don’t take notice of the pebbles being thrown, you’re sent a boulder. This was my space boulder, too powerful to ignore.

It was time to bring what I’d learned from Bear and my Star Guides together. The result? Welcome to the world, Bear Star Healing.

Have you ever had an experience that challenged your understanding of reality or opened your mind to something beyond the everyday? I’d love to hear your thoughts. 😀

A STRONG CONNECTION

When I work with spirit to offer healing sessions, I love creating a safe, supportive space for my clients.

A place where they can relax, heal and be heard, free from judgement.

After the world locked down, taking a lot of our communication and healing spaces online was a concern for me, at first.

I was worried I would be unable to build as deep a connection with my clients on screen as I did face-to-face.

So, I asked my guides about my fears and they replied in no uncertain terms:

“If you believe the connection will not be as good then you will be right. If you trust in the power of spirit then all will be well,” they said.

“The only change is in you for doubting your connection. A weak intention brings weak results.“

It was a tough lesson, but a much needed one.

A few days later and I was offering healing sessions, via Zoom. And yes, the connection with my clients and with my guides was just as powerful.

Since then I’ve worked 1-1 and in group sessions online with a variety of people, with spirit guiding me every step of the way.

This Sunday (November 24) I’ll be working with my beloved guides in this way again for Soul Medicine - a day of spiritual learning and development with Taz Thornton - Firechild.

This session, from 11am to 4pm, is Ideal for those wanting to learn more about self-healing, mindset and personal development, based on ancient earth wisdom teachings.

It’s a great way to step into deeper teachings, a refresher for those who've attended our evening classes or weekend events, or as a single exploration day for anyone wanting to gain a basic understanding of healing and self-growth practices based on shamanism and the medicine path.

This workshop will be held virtually, and include comfort breaks, as well as time for lunch.

Places are £45, £65 or £95 so you can budget and pay what you can manage. Just click a link to book your space.

£45: https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/KVLSKN8VXUQUG

£65: https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/3M2DXZ6FK6N8N

£95: https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/XVKC4C22L6DTC

Replays will be available if you’re not able to join us live on the day.

What have you learned from working online more? 😀

HOW BEAR STAR GOT ITS NAME: PART 1

A deep sleep. A dream so vivid it took my breath away.

So powerful it woke me and brought me out in a cold, shaking sweat.

My first Dreamtime introduction to Bear.

The bear in my dreams was up close and personal. So personal I could feel the heat from his roaring mouth and the spittle spray from his fangs.

This charging, terrifying Bear was there to grab my attention, and that’s just what he did.

The dream had started with me observing the ‘cute’ bear dressed in human clothes from a distance, but then everything changed.

Bear became bear in all his might and majesty. The transition was quick and effective as he ran straight at me.

Our eyes locked and I knew I needed to be ‘awake’ in the dream for what was to come next.

As has often been the case for me when working with spirit, at first instructions will come from guides in a pretty gentle way, but if I ignore their wise words and continually dodge their instructions, things will ramp up.

Pebbles are thrown to begin with, but if I don’t take heed and act accordingly, pebbles become stones and stones become boulders.

This roaring, petrifying, bone rattling bear was my boulder, so it was time to sit up and take notice.

As I advise you to do, I always keep a notebook by my bed which meant I could quickly write down all the feelings that came with my night time visitor.

And from those feelings came loads of memories.

I was reminded of all the childhood bears I’d loved, of all the nature books I’d poured over which seemed to magically draw me to the pages filled with bear stories and images.

As the memories flooded in, so did the love, the connection I felt with these beautiful animals.

Bear was frustrated because I hadn’t kept our connection and he’d been doing everything he could to bring it back. I’d just been too asleep to notice.

In the days that followed I became the hungry learner. Discovering everything I could about the different bear species, their habitats and behaviours.

I learned that Bears in consensus reality will carry out a Bluff Charge if they feel uncomfortable and need to show dominance. Just as my Bear did in my dream, they will run at another bear or person and stop before making contact.

Lots of shamanic journeys followed and then I met my bear guide in the lower world.

Those eyes. The deepest. The most soulful. Wisdom. Healing. Protection. Strength. Heart. Love.

The connection was strong and true from the start. That strength, truth, love and connection has never wavered.

Bear has held me, pushed me, encouraged me, chided me, been the epitome of tough love and healing just when I’ve needed it.

Bear also makes me laugh…a lot.

As I walked further down the earth wisdom path, I was suddenly reminded of one of my very first journeys and another being I met in night time dreaming in much the same way as Bear.

That first encounter was just as visceral, just as powerful and yet I’d done nothing to connect and take it further. That had to change too.

It was time to pay attention to the space pebbles before the boulders arrived.

To be continued…🐻👽😀

What amazing messages have you received in your dreams and how have they supported and empowered you?

A blessed Samhain to all.

A time when the veils between the worlds are at their thinnest.

As we welcome in the harvest and the winter months, it’s a wonderful time to pause, reflect, give thanks and celebrate the many rich teachings on our path.

How do you celebrate Samhain, and what does it mean to you? 😀

How do you create daily happiness?

Do you start your day with some gratitudes? Five to 10 things you’re grateful for in your life.

Do you have a favourite track that when you play it, you love dancing and singing along to it?

Are you an avid reader and love a few minutes of quiet time to read or listen to a book on Audible?

Perhaps you like getting outside and sitting in your garden or going for a walk with or without a human or canine companion.

Or is there something else that brings you joy?

My daily happiness comes from playing with my dogs and cat, ‘checking in’ with our large collection of garden spiders as they create the most beautiful webs or pulling an oracle card or two with my wife in the evening.

Simple actions like these can make such a major difference to our lives and yet it’s easy to tell ourselves we don’t have time for them.

Our spirit guides and teachers want us to experience happiness.

What do you do to bring your happiness levels up? 😀
