Medicine Bag - Treasure

We all have memories, and physical things, trinkets, keep sakes, and possessions that are important to us. We may have things that have been passed down to us by older relatives who are no longer with us.

These emotionally charged and sentimental things make up our Medicine Bag.

You are asked to look through them now and decide if you will carry them forward. You are also asked to consider whether there are some new things to add to this sacred collection.

Perhaps you need to associate ephemeral memories with something physical that is in or added to the bag. A happy time spent on holiday by the sea may be associated with a seashell or a swim mask, or a jar of sand you collected.

Storing this Medicine Bag in the home, under your bed, a closet or a draw will keep it close and allow you to draw on the energy it contains.

In this life, we meet many emotional challenges with people and animals. A Medicine Bag is something we can return to repeatedly to collect energy and strength to navigate through our present challenges.

Tree People - Sustenance

Trees sustain life. They support and keep and protect animals, insects, and when they breathe out, we breathe in. 

Spend time with nature now. Go out and walk amongst all the plants but especially the trees. Listen to the wind moving through their branches, listen to the animals down on the ground gathering the bounty of the trees. To them, nuts from the trees are fruit and life they can eat and store. 

It may be snowing in the northern climates or hot in the southern but trees are growing and breathing. Life is going on all around you when you are out in nature.

Let the life and energy of the trees open and charge the energy that is within you to live life and be good to those around you and who care about you… care about them.
