Spring/Autumn Wisdom Tips with Vision Shifting Pondering questions
Hello Everyone,
I am writing to you from my birth home in Cottage Grove, Oregon USA. It is a switch from Spring to Autumn. The weather is like there, cool and warm on and off. The difference is the light of day is getting shorter instead of getting longer. Now that I am over jetlag, it is time to do some adventures. I’m having fun reconnecting with my family and friends and surprise (HeHe), reclaiming some of my personal power from my childhood and relationships. Even though that was not my original plan, our Spirit Soul always has a plan and gives us opportunities for growth, for vision shifting our energies and to grow. We can reclaim energies of personal power that we let go of during past experiences.
Swimming Hole on Row River, at Cottage Grove Christian Camp
When I was young, around 10 years of age, the Church my parents took us to had a summer camp property for children. Each year we went to this camp for a week and it is still in operation today, 60+ years later, plus they rent the venue to people that want to do special events.
My two grown daughters go to this facility several times a year for scrapbooking camps. I decided to visit them a few days ago. After seeing the creative work they produced, I was attracted to go down to the river and look at the swimming hole, pictured above. After sitting there next to the river and bonding again to this place in nature, I got the feeling that something happened to me there that took some of my power away. As a teen and adult I have never enjoyed going under water and swimming. I always use a floating device and dog paddle around on top of deep water. So, I decided to go on a journey to see what happened there and wondered if it was connected to my fear of going under water.
Journey to the Row River Swimming Hole:
My intention was to go to my child self at the swimming hole. Physically I was at my daughter Terra’s house, lying on my bed. I knew I needed to go on a Shaman drum middle world journey; it is this world in the Spiritual dimension.
The drum beat started, I walked out the door in my Spirit body and flew back in time and to the Row River Swimming Hole. I found my way and sat on some rocks near the sandy shore. Down the trail some 30+ children came with a couple of camp counsellors, they ran and started playing in the water.
I recognised myself and was reminded of how small of a child I was, just over a meter high and with my large bone structure I had a bit of a Hobbit shape compared to the rest of the children.
Because of my size and shape I was teased a lot as a child, that day was no exception. One particular boy decided to start dunking me under water. He held me under once a bit too long and I could not breathe. I took in a breath of water. Finally a couple of other kids noticed and screamed for a counsellor to come and help me. They got me out of the water, coughing and spitting I cleared my lungs and was able to breathe again. They put a towel around me and sat me on the bank. No one got in trouble and I was left there shaking and crying with little notice and ignored.
My Spirit self went to my child self and poured loving energy into her as I sent thought forms into her mind. I said to her, “No worries you will be heard in your life, you are special, you have gifts to share in this world.” I poured pictures of her future self, us talking to groups, teaching, doing energetic healings, having our own radio program and sharing our uniqueness in the world. Then to my surprise I repeated what our father had said to us when we were young:
“Big things come in little packages”
Another surprise I felt in this process was as I blew Loving healing energy into my child self, I also felt that breath entering me in my physical body lying on the bed; Very comforting to our Soul on all levels.
Then I saw her going into the river, diving deep. As she came up out of the water her hands were held up to all that is, in bliss.
The drum beat started calling me back. Giving thanks to the energies of the space and the water hole, I returned to my physical body.
I have been pondering on this journey, and vision shifting event for a couple of days now. The Shamans believe that time is an illusion. We live in the past - present - and future all at the same time. Thinking on that, if I had not gone on this journey and given support to my child self, who was thinking they were unimportant in this world, would I have been able to be the person I am today? Hmmmm? I think not!
Message From Moose:
Never underestimate synchronicities in your life. After I did the drum journey above I drew a card from the deck Guide to the Animal Totem Tarot by Leeza Robertson 2016
“Not many people know I can swim, but it is under the water that I like to be. The plants are fresher here, and there is less stress on my body; it is as if time has stood still. Things are also quieter here and I feel I can clear my mind and connect back to myself. However, one must be careful not to slip or get caught in a downward current, as things under the water can change very quickly”
Overall the Moose gives us the energy message to take care of our physical, emotional, and spiritual needs.

Spring and Autumn Wisdom Tips:
Since I am going to be in both of Earth’s hemispheres this season, I am giving both Spring and Autumn Wisdom Tips; with Vision Shifting pondering questions.
Spring: In the southern hemisphere it is the time of the year that the light of day gets longer and longer until Summer solstice. This promotes the energy of action; of growth in Nature and within our Soul. We tend to clean out our personal space and our inner space; doing a detox of our bodies, our thinking and doing the Spring clean in our homes and yards. This time of year we naturally want to start new things, move more and we feel this inner pull to express ourselves. We have more creative ideas to plant new seeds or delve deeper into what we are already doing; not only in our garden but in our life. Also wanting to nurture ourselves more on all levels.
Vision Shifting Pondering questions:
Are you drinking enough water and eating enough greens, are you nurturing your emotional needs?
Even though it is Spring into action time, are you going within? Taking time to meditate or journey on what seeds your Soul wants you to plant?
In what areas of your life need more nurturing?
Autumn/Fall: Autumn is the time of year to celebrate the sweet, bountiful harvest, nature provides food for our body, the mind with understanding and giving thanks to everything in our lives. The crisp air announces something new and refreshing. The lungs take in fresh inspiration and guidance while the colon gets rid of hurts, sorrows, and feelings of unworthiness. As the sap begins to return back to the roots of the trees, the leaves begin to change colour and slowly fall. Nature begins her recycling and composting time, letting go of what no longer is needed; and giving richness and organic matter back to the soil.
In our lives, the energy of Autumn/Fall reminds us to celebrate this last year and harvest our accomplishments. In this modern fast paced world we often jump from one goal or project to another, really not recognising or celebrating the effort it took us to get where we are today.
Vision Shifting pondering questions?
Have you gone into deep meditation or journeying to thank yourself for this last season’s accomplishments?
Are you ready to drop or release what is no longer needed in your life?
Celebrate by having a ceremony or party to honour your unique self and where you are at in this time of your life.
