This beautiful song sung by Ryan WhiteWolf and stunning video created by Daniel Raphael, was released yesterday in honor of Indigenous Peoples Day. Enjoy!

“This day marks a new holiday, Indigenous Peoples day, replacing Columbus day, transmuting enslavement into freedom. As a tribute to Mexico, where this footage was filmed, and all indigenous people, animals, and spirits which encompass us all, I humbly offer this weaving of light and sound to open a portal into the remembrance of where we are returning to now. Aho ~” – Daniel Raphael

Happy New Moon!

“Since the Full Moon Eclipse in September, we have all been dealing with many changes. Our structures or routines may have been influx or there may have been some much needed growth and transformation.

On the night of the New Moon, we are all going to be feeling the opportunities that this Eclipse was trying to bring us in a more positive light. This New Moon will once and for all welcome us into the energetic gateway that was opened by the eclipse and reveal to us the magic that awaits inside.

While some have already started their path down through the gateway (or rabbit hole depending on what has been brewing!) this new moon will help us to really leave the old behind in order to embrace the new. In fact, this new moon will work hard to help us release the dramas of the last few months in order to welcome in the start of a fresh new cycle.

While this is positive, if you have been holding on to things, whether it be outdated beliefs, relationships or events, the Universe may bring you one final shake up during this new moon in order to steer you on the right path. This new moon may even bring with it some element of surprise, due to the fact that it is in strong aspect with the planet, Uranus. Uranus is not only the planet of ‘surprises’ but it also the great awakener and sometimes we have to trust that Uranus knows more about our path of awakening than we can first comprehend.

If you do find yourself in the midst of some surprises around this new moon, remember that it is all to bring you to a higher place and to help you align with the path of your destiny. Perhaps Uranus may also be asking you to awaken deeper into your true and full potential in order to better navigate this new and exciting chapter of your life.”

“At any time you can ask yourself: At which threshold am I now standing? At this time in my life, what am I leaving? Where am I about to enter? What is preventing me from crossing my next threshold? What gift would enable me to do it? A threshold is not a simple boundary; it is a frontier that divides two different territories, rhythms, and atmospheres. Indeed, it is a lovely testimony to the fullness and integrity of an experience or stage of life that it intensifies toward the end into a real frontier that cannot be crossed without the heart being passionately engaged and woken up. At this threshold a great complexity of emotion comes alive: confusion, fear, excitement, sadness, hope. This is one of the reasons such vital crossings were always clothed in ritual. It is wise in your own life to be able to recognize and acknowledge the key thresholds: to take your time; to feel all the varieties of presence that accrue there; to listen inward with complete attention until you hear the inner voice calling you forward. The time has come to cross.” ~John O’Donohue

“Love is the only way to grasp another human being in the inner most core of his personality. No one can become fully aware of the very essence of another human being unless he loves him. By his love he is enabled to see his essential traits and features in the beloved person; and even more, he sees that which is potential in him, which is not yet actualized but yet ought to be actualized. Furthermore, by his love, the loving person enables the beloved person to actualize these potentialities. By making him aware of what he can be and of what he should become, he makes these potentialities come true.” ~Viktor Frankl
