Monday Motivation – #NativeAmericanWisdom

Happy Monday. As we launch into a new week, I hope to share with you a tidbit of inspiration that may make a difference in your days ahead. I hope you enjoy!

I stumbled across this story on YouTube and it is so simple, yet so profoundly true. It’s short, and I hope you enjoy!

For the card wisdom this week, I was drawn back to the Medicine Cards.

Many Plains Indian tribes dance the Grouse Dance to honor these birds. The movement of the dance follows a spiral, which is the ancient symbol of birth and rebirth, the ribbed tunnel of eternal return.

The Grouse advises you to analyze the way you move through your world. How do you picture yourself in the act of “locomotion?” What kind of reaction do you create with the energy you send to the Universe? What words would you use, to describe the way you move through both the material and spiritual worlds? In the final analysis, is your movement compatible with your greatest desires or goals?

Many spiritual disciplines ask that you cease all external movement in order to recognize the inner life. Grouse medicine, however, is an invitation to the dance. Grouse celebrates the Divine Source through its sacred spiral dance and offers this dance to you as a gift. You can spend a lifetime learning to harmonize your dance with Mother Earth’s cycles, and how to offer the dance as a creation of selfless beauty.

I know this is very different, but I asked Spirit to lead, and this is the path it took. I hope you leave feeling inspired and uplifted. Make it a great week walking forward!

I'd love to hear your thoughts!
