Weekly message from Nature Sept 11th 2019

Hello from Kellie and Herbs & Things and 'Everyone' Else.

August Sept 11th-18th 2019

Medicine Helper & Messenger

Chipmunk

Take advantage of opportunities, they may not be here tomorrow.

Today, is an anniversary of a tragic day in American history, thus I was confused at first of why Chipmunk was here as a messenger and medicine helper and 'said' it relates to this...as I think of Chipmunk all about fun, frolicking and stocking up.

It was then I realized, not only is chipmunk about stocking up as is squirrel, but also about having fun during the process, but most importantly the message Chipmunk is bringing today, is take advantage of the opportunities, reach for the nuts put forth in front of you; they may not be here tomorrow.

Chipmunk says, do not fear jumping into what ever you might have fear about, for chipmunk brings to you his agility and quickness to jump back out again, or run faster if it doesn't work out. 

Chipmunk wants you to know, there are always risks in life no matter what you do, but if you do not take the chance, you will never get what you want.

Yes Chipmunk knows he sometimes takes to great of risks, as you think about him running in front of your car with his tail help high carrying the treasured nut or seeds he got from the other side of the road, and you just miss him by the hairs on his tail.

Chipmunk says he can't help it, it's his nature, but you don't have to take the near miss risk as he does, but he also wants you to know, if you do not take any risks at all when opportunities arrive you will never ever get that treasured nut on the other side of the road. 

Chipmunk says be bold, but do not be foolish as he is when he gets excited and does not look for traffic, he says be more sensible than he and take that risk carefully and give your self a way out. He uses  his speed...you use what you have, for if you do, you will see that something good is on it's way to you.

Be like chipmunk enjoy a good adventure, love life, take a risk, for as this day of 9-11 represents...another day may not come.

Most importantly chipmunk medicine is about you loving life just as it is...enjoy the simple things, enjoy what you have as you gather what you need.

Love those around you, and share your love with your community whether that community is family or even just a few close friends. By sharing your love with anyone of these people will have a ripple affect and that love and zest for life will touch others.

So spend time with chipmunk today and feel his energy and love for the life and the love of grabbing those opportunities Natures sets forth in front of him and this energy he wants to share with you.

An energy and love of life Chipmunk wants for you as he brings the message, just as Creator does.

Get out there enjoy the day...and let an acorn be your seed of hope of what ever you dreams are today, even if it's only getting one nut from the other side of the road safely.

Many Blessings and Love from Nature and Creator.

with LOVE

Hello from Kellie and Herbs & Things and 'Everyone' Else.   May 15th-22nd 2019 Medicine Helper & Messenger Scorpion   Finding hidden Strengths, Powers and Wisdom of using the powers of both dark and light   I almost want to apologize that this will be one of those Yewwwww Medicine Helpers, but I cannot, because Scorpion though probably not most peoples choice as a Messenger or Medicine Helper is an awesome Messenger and Medicine  Helper  And as per, Creators and Natures timing are perfect again, as on May 18th, the Full Flower Moon goes into Scorpio.  This placement of the planets in the energy of Scorpion, will create a time of opening to the world around you, finding that which is hidden and your own strength and power and how not to fear this new part of you. The energy from this Full Moon in Scorpio will do to you, just as you do, when you see an image or maybe cross paths with a Scorpion, have an increased sense of sting or be stung, live or die.  The medicine from Scorpion will increase the intensity of your vibrations, which nature has been speaking of and preparing you for a while now. Scorpion is here to let you know for sure, the new vibrations of Earth and that of the energies around you are changing in frequency and with the change comes a new very intense power for the taking and Scorpion is just the Helper to help you accept and learn to use this new power and strength wisely. If you do not use it wisely, you will get stung. This intense Scorpion Medicine indicates the time has come for you  to access the wisdom in your deep subconscious; Nature and Creator through Scorpion are bringing the message, your soul is ready for the great dance on the rim of dark and light.  Scorpion messenger indicates you are ready for the dance and you will choose what is right, as you have worked hard and are more resilient and powerful than you think.  You have lived through some tough things and survived. You are ready to move to the higher state of mind and consciousness and that deep thought only Scorpion Medicine can bring you with a side note, of do not fear.... You can do this.  Scorpion in it's ability to protect itself, is letting you know, you are protected. However there is a bit of warning that comes with obtaining the power of Scorpion Medicine, and that is to be careful with this extra power and strength, as at this time you might find yourself a bit more emotional with the tendency to strike out quicker than you normally do, and not only hurt another, but self. Scorpion can teach you this restraint and wisdom of knowing when to strike and when not to. Just as a person born under the Scorpion sign can go either way, light or dark, you may find your self  leaning one way or another, and then wanting to hide for fear of these intense feelings. Scorpion medicine will help you to navigate these new intense vibrations and energies in the best way for you and others, as well as teach you when to hide and when to go out. Fear not, just pause and think before you act, and all will be find. Through this time with Scorpion, you will come to a better understanding of what makes Scorpion tick and what could trigger an attack.  Scorpion medicine will teach you, if you use right actions, you will not be hurt, and then you will see the beauty deep inside the power and strength and this is what you will absorb and then create your own beauty of great understanding, wisdom, knowledge and secrets of life that they, Scorpions, protect with their lives every day.  Scorpion also brings with it the energy of number 8 indicted by it moves on 8 legs. Eight...The Universal Spiritual Law of Karma, which Scorpions can carry out with one strike, is ‘as you give so you shall receive’, or ‘you reap what you sow’.  Bad deeds and thoughts return to you, as do kind, thoughtful deeds. Such as do not hurt Scorpion even though its power looks threatening and in return it won't hurt you.  It is at this time frame on Earth, that Creator and Nature have chosen Scorpion to share its energy and wisdom as you step out into a more complex world, spiritually and physically. You will need the 'armor' and talent of the Scorpion to proceed to your next step. A step of survival, of the death of old habits or things about you, you have become attached too that yourself and maybe others have made you believe these attachments are who you are.  Scorpion will teach you, you are your own person that has many talents, strengths and powers to achieve. Its time to let go of those parts of you that no longer serve the purpose you have here on this Earth or in this life you are living now. By doing so, you will feel lighter, freer and more connected than ever before. This letting go also includes letting go of notions and instilled ideas of who you are, just as often we misjudge who and what Scorpion is.  Scorpion will teach you, no matter what others have told you about you, you will soon realize may not be so. You need to dig deep, go to the dark places of you, and you will find the light of truth.  There is so much Scorpion can teach and bring to you. But for now sit with Scorpion and let her teach you of her great knowledge of the dark and light and show you the way to find the light in the darkness,  for Scorpion who was born in the dark and visits often knows first hand the importance of the light and that it is this light that is of Creator and the brilliance of Nature and the positive Karmic energy of you and what Creator and Nature can bring to you. Fear not, you have this.   Many Blessings and Love from Nature and Creator.   as always with LOVE Be well Laugh often Love large Dig in the dirt Grow a garden and may the sun light your way Kellie + Herbs & Things

It's in the Elements

From Herbs and Things Wednesdays Weekly Messages and  Medicine from Nature Spend time in Nature.  Nature is the Messenger of which through Her  Elements  of Earth, Air, Wind & Fire,  you will hear Creator 'speaking' to you everyday!

I love to think of nature as an unlimited broadcasting station, through which God speaks to us every hour, if we will only tune in. ~George Washington Carver~

Hello from Kellie and Herbs & Things and 'Everyone' Else. May 8th-15th 2019 Medicine Helper & Messenger Elements of Nature The world around us is ever changing; physically and spiritually and Creator plan it as such. The elements of nature, Earth, Air, Wind and Fire, are the forces of Creator present in  your life every step of your path and every day of your life and it's time you take notice of His presence. It's time for you to remember too, that always the Elements of Nature are active in your life, moving, shaping, cleansing, and lifting you, when and where it is needed.  Sometimes it's in a way you like, sometimes not so much. Either way it is what is and what is suppose to be at the time of movement, shaping, lifting or grounding of you on any given day, week, or hour. These forces and rules of the Elements, Nature intuitively understands and knows to follow and this is because all in Nature know these forces are Creators critical forces that sustain life as well the forces connecting your physical body to that of the energies of Creator and that of the Ancestors before you.  Nature is here to let you know by listening, and following the rules of Natural Elements, that which creates balance between you and 'there', will aid you in the ability to understand, grow and have the life Creator intended just for you.  It's no coincidence you were born in the time frame of your power elements, or that you are drawn to certain elements more than others or even fear some elements more than others. Creator knew what you would be dong with your life and the 'Medicine' you would need.. It is from the elements, the voice of Creator, that you gather your knowledge and strength to do what it is you need to do for you and others. It's time for you to listen to your internal source of knowledge, where you will learn about you and why you are here. Study what your ruling elements of Nature are and learn more about you and what Creator has put in you life. Even though each Nature element is at work in your life every day, it is not by chance you were born with a power element at your helm that helps you move through the difficult spots or obstacles in your life unique to your life.  But you must study each element as they have their good and bad qualities, and also direct you in your life path. Study and learn better not only of your strengths, but that of your weaknesses as they are part of who you are, as weaknesses are not bad, as you need weakness to have strength, thus the balance you need in your life. Creator wants you to accept and love your weaknesses as much as you do your strengths. It is with this acceptance you will then see the unique and magnificent person you are. It is from the elements that you not only gather your strength but understand your weaknesses and how to accept and use your weaknesses as strength, because sometimes it's your weaknesses that keep you safe from your Strengths; a unique power Creator instilled in you. Follow Natures rules and allow the elements to work with and in you and create a thing of beauty, and balance and move through life with more ease. Nature 'speaks' to you everyday in some shape or form and one of those ways is through the elements and right now they need your attention. So, take a moment to listen and feel.  Take a walk, or sit in Nature feel the Earth below your feet. Earth will help you feel the basis of all the elements in your life. Air is that of communication, listen to the Winds and how they make the trees talk, and know it is what connects you to all that is around you and in you. Stand in the Waters and know this is what shapes and moves and shows you the secret of your soul.  Face the warmth of fire as a sunflower faces the Sun. The Sun being the ultimate power of fire and be illuminated and let the Suns power lift you up, and help you realize the energy of you and as well as that of Nature.  Put them all together, Nature, Earth, Air, Water and Fire and it is then you realize the power of Creator and that you have this power IN YOU, every day, in every situation. Use it.Trust it.

Spring is getting into full swing and as it does, so do the commercials for using weed killer to kill those darn old dandelions.

STOP THERE...if you think dandelions are a pesky weed...think again...dandelions are a gift from nature! Dandelions are food for you, bees and other animals and pollinators. Dandelions are actually GOOD for you and your lawn...

For the lawn, their wide-spreading roots loosen hard-packed soil, aerate the earth and help reduce erosion. Their deep taproot pulls nutrients such as calcium from deep in the soil and makes them available to other plants. Dandelions actually fertilize the grass and if you look close they really are beautiful and bring cheer and sun into your life. Ironically those little yellow wonders so many try to kill are one the most expensive things to buy in the market or whole food store.

Health wise, beyond making great wine...they can provide many health benefits at little cost to you. Dandelions can help you clear your sluggish system from winter woes and provide calcium and vitamin K to help with bone loss. They also contain iron and magnesium and small amounts of B & E vitamins. They can be eaten or made into a tea and all parts can be used, roots, leaves and flowers.

So if you have them in your yard take advantage of what Nature offers you. Dandelion flowers make a nice soft tea. You can dry them by wilting, in the sun or using a dehydrator. You have to be careful not to over dry with the dehydrator. Do some research and find out all the things you can do with dandelion roots (stronger tea) flowers, and leaves, such as soups, tinctures, winter syrups for health, salads and more. Time to see and let others know of the 'gold'mine in your yard(s)

NOTE: As always, check to make sure of any herbs side effects and drug interactions before you consume them. Natural does not always mean good for YOU.

Nature always wears the color of Spirit

Maybe time to stay where you are?

                    

Staying within the confines of security, is not a sign

a weakness but a sign of wisdom

of knowing when the time  is right to move

Hello from Kellie and Herbs & Things and 'Everyone' Else.

December Jan 30th-Feb 6th 2019
Medicine Helper & Messenger

Burdock

Protection
Stick with secure things

Dec 28th 2018, 6 AM the entry in my 'messages' journal reads,
"Standing people will very important this coming year and beyond-Trees-Flowers-Plants-All- Listen and use their wisdom." 
That same day, Dec 28th, 2018 7:25 AM, My great niece Rachel sent me a message of a message she received.."Start a journal about plants, knowledge of plants will become important for medicine" and there was more...

Thus as always I find Nature amazing in what She brings from Creator as the Standing people have been very present in the newsletters, Nature Messages, directly to my niece and I, and I 'm sure many of you...Connecting to us whether directly or indirectly..Indirect through Beaver, Directly just recently Pine Tree, Red Clover...and now Burdock.

Standing People represent growth, being grounded and being connected to the Divine source and having strong roots to build upon.

At this time the moon is a waning crescent moon which indicates this is a rebuilding time, thus it makes sense  the messages the Standing People bring and this week it is Burdock, to let you know it is best at this time to stick to things that are secure, things that you know work and you know that will remain the same even through changes, things that will help you stay in place, to be nourished, grow and then bloom.

Burdock also indicates, represented by its great healing properties, that you are protected at this time as well as you are healing from a recent 'wound' or mishap. The root of the Burdock is the most important aspect of it's healing powers, thus bringing the medicine to you of a good root foundation...a foundation rooted in security and healing from great depths.

One needs security and a strong foundation to build upon and Burdock who has a deep tap roots in its first year, is here to help you stay rooted during this time of growth and the winds of change. Burdock brings the message now is not the time to move, it is best to stick with what you know is secure, until new opportunities arise in the future. 

Burdock not only offers much medicine in the form of protection through its abilities to fight inflammation, purify the blood, bringing in more oxygen to your body and protecting you from outside harm...but it also brings nourishment as the roots are edible. They are only edible in the first year of growth, indicating for you to stay rooted get fed what you need now at this time in your journey, and you will be sustained until it is the right time for you to move. For right now, digest what you are being fed, grow and build upon what you already have that is secure..then when an opportunity arises in the future you will be ready, stable and strong.

As Burdock matures, it gets a beautiful prickly purple/pink flower, indicating for you a connection to the Divine source and that of love. They bloom June through Oct. indicating for you you will see/ feel an increase in your 'connections' and or a greater opening of your Crown Chakra which will bring to you more wisdom and clarity of mind at that time. Creator says do not be impatient the time will come soon enough and right on time.

Take time on this Waning Crescent Moon and meditate on Burdock, let it show you with it's medicine what parts of your life need to be healed, then let its young tap root nourish you as you heal and grow. 

Visualize the purple flower and know this can be you and you too will have the ability to grab hold of your plan, stick to it and move on when the time is right. Opportunities you have not imagine are awaiting just for the right time to present themselves to you...get nourished, grow, trust in your connection to Creator and you will be ready.

Blessings and great love from Creator,  and Nature
