Bear & Sage Spiritual Healing

Trauma is important to work on as you walk through life so you dont repeat that behaviour and hurt yourself and others further. It can keep you in a constant loop, never growing or moving forward. We all have trauma from some time in our lives and sometimes we can live with it. Most of the time we need to work through it. If you are feeling you need to resolve issues in your life, with a dead or an alive person, or you just have some trauma you would like to release, get in touch, Laine can help you in a calm, soothing manner to assist you through using Reiki, crystal healing and shamanic practices.

Card of the week: Hummingbird

Now that we have completed our side quests with the Coyote, we are facing immediacy. Hummingbirds are known for their fast flapping wings which places them in seemingly motionless suspension as they dutifully go about feeding on the nectar of flowers. The hum their wings exudes can be heard by other birds and ourselves. It looks effortless but of course, a lot of effort goes into maintaining that appearance. They appear majestic in their small stature and charming, but are actually quite aggressive and feisty when their territory is threatened. Their large hearts however allow them to live in the moment by standing still, peeking in to each flower to discover its curiosities and wonders.

This week, take time to stand still, open your heart and allow others in. See what is around you and what can fill your large heart with curiosities and wonders. You may find it difficult to do this as people come in to your space, but try to observe how that feels for you rather than taking action. Acknowledge how you are in that moment, then observe some more. You may find others are appearing to do this a lot easier than you, but remember looks are deceiving. Flapping those wings takes every hummingbird some effort, but the bigger the heart, the easier it is.

Happy Beltane!

Card of the week: Coyote

Last week was rough. I definitely got stung by the wasp a few times and I hope I learned what I was supposed to. This week we enter Coyote spirit, which will take us on the journeys we are meant to go on. It could be a result of wasp week which changed our trajectory or a need to look further into what those moments meant, or it could be more destiny in the side quests that you need to accomplish. Either way, roll with it this week.

Coyotes are considered important animals when it comes to journeying and as guides in many cultures and they often roam alone, so get redy for solo adventures this week. Follow your instincts as a coyote does. They are considered tricksters but even though its Halloween there is no trick. Trust the process this week and you will find great benefit. Fear not as you go through these detours, the Coyote is highly intelligent and can adapt to any environment it finds itself in. As you embrace the Coyote spirit, so will you. I want to say have fun, but I am not sure if it will be! So I will instead leave you with safe travels.

Card of the week: Wasp

Wasps are direct in their flight, they get straight to the point and they hammer it home. If you have been missing the point, you will get it this week. And it may hurt. Wasps are intelligent and can remember faces, they recognise their enemy. They don't sense fear but will become defensive if you attack them. The phrase isn't 'don't poke the wasp', but it should be! If you upset a wasp from their planned route by swotting at them, you will be stung.

This week there will be lessons to be learnt and it might be hammered into you until you get it. It won't be pleasant but it will be for your higher purpose. You might also find that people will be more defensive and sensitive than usual, so tread lightly and watch where you walk. If you find yourself in a wasps path, step aside and let it continue on with its determined journey. If you do get stung, it was meant to be. Learn.

Card of the week: Dragonfly

In my neck of the woods there is a surplus of dragonflies at the moment and they are majestic! Huge wingspans, their bodies would easily surpass my palm. Blessed to have this energy surrounding me. I have certainly been feeling it as I have been having incredible insights and personal growth. Dragonflies don't pull any punches, they get straight to the point, so if you are wondering about what could be the truth behind a situation, listen to the universe and watch for signs. Your instincts will show you what you need to know.

Dragonflies are predators, and they are dominant in the insect world. This energy will be important this week as it dominates you to grow in your emotions and your mental state, and bring a maturity to your actions and thoughts. They take you on a deep journey of self discovery and truths, and can be confronting but is worth the ride. This week watch where your insights are coming from and reflect deeply on what it means to you as the hard truths come to light. You are ready for this understanding, trust the universe on this one.

Card of the week: Stag

The Stag is a born leader and will lead you to some exciting places! They shed their impressive antlers each year and regrow them, renewing their magick. Safety is their jam as they let go of fertile areas of food for shelter, preferring to stay out of the weather and eat another day. The Stag is a magnificent beast, cutting an impressive silhouette with their stance. If you come across a stag, you are in the presence of a great creature, gentle yet can hold its own. They lead with confidence, kindness and grace. The Welsh see these animals as leaders into the otherworld or messengers from the other side.

This week stand tall and lead with kindness. You might find yourself in a situation where you will be relied upon to lead others to where they need to be. Stay humble but confident and know that this is your time to do what you do best, caring for others and ensuring the safety of your mob. If you feel that its too risky even if the spoils seem bountiful, move everyone to shelter and let that time pass. You can always go back for it at a safer time. You may get some messages this week from beyond. Pay attention to them as the Stag is here to help bridge the divide this week.

Card of the week: Sandpiper

The world has felt a little heavy lately, but sandpiper is here to bring a little cheer. These lovely birds spend their days in solitary pursuits of food and preening, dancing along the shoreline, dipping their beaks into the wet mud and sand in search of treasures. At night they huddle together for protection, singing to the night in haunting harmonies. They enjoy the here and now, not planning the next step but constantly on the move.

This week ground yourself by dancing barefoot on the earth and delve into it whether it be sand, mud, dirt, stones or leaf litter terrain. While dancing, tune in to how you are feeling right now. What emotions come up for you? Follow that trail deep down in teh earth with your sandpiper bill and find the source of that emotion. Bring it to the surface and if its something you like, keep it with you like a jewel in your heart. If its not so pretty, skip that stone across the water and out of your current path. Remember to take time to go inward but when you are done, come up for air and join the protection of your clan.
