Welcome back!
For all of you who know me...the one thing you know for sure (besides I love clothes ;') LOL
Is that I love the critters. The next segments will be about animal medicine....
how it applies to you
how to communicate with the animals
how to discover your power animal totem or spirit guide
and I'll share whatever messages they bring to me for you....Enjoy!
Let's get started...I'm in my beautiful treehouse, Gray Kitty is sunning herself on the balcony, there is drumming in the background and magic in the air....
What does it mean to call someone or something "brother"? Most of us can agree that by calling anything in our minds and souls "family", we are offering a particular type of energy to the relationship we have chosen to be in. Family means different things to different people. The truth is, we are all family. Humans, animals, plants, the earth, the sun, the sky....everything is connected to everything else. Animals are companions, teachers, friends and family. Dogs teach us loyalty, cats bring mystery, dolphins remind us that healing and community are things that can easily accompany fun and laughter. And our brother the wolf shows us how to pick our battles.
Busy as a bee
dog day afternoon
sly as a fox
eagle eye
free as a bird
bear hug
he swims like a fish....we've all heard these. And many more I'm sure you could think of!
Instinctively, we take the medicine. Native Americans use the term "medicine" to refer to the special powers Spirit gives each part of creation: plants, minerals and rocks, as well as creatures of the animal kingdom. This medicine increases our connection to Spirit and brings us healing, strength and wisdom.
Animals are among the most giving of God's creations. In the Native way, it is known that Great Spirit often sends messages of awareness, guidance and adjustment through the appearance and actions of Creature Beings in our lives. When you pay attention to the Creature Beings that cross your path, you will receive much.
What were you thinking of when the Crow cawed outside the window? What action were you planning when the ant bit your foot? The message will be associated with what is close at hand in your mind and in your life.
When the world was new, the Great Mystery created the Universe to work in harmony. Warriors ceremoniously prepared for the hunt in concert with the balance, asking permission to slay the intended kill. The animal knew of its fate and graciously relented. Every piece of the animal was efficiently used and appreciated.
The greed, ego and possessiveness of human nature has distracted us from remembering our manners! Learning to ask permission and saying thank you for a kindness are fundamental and universal rules of etiquette.
On behalf of humans everywhere, please join me in saying thank you to the animal world for all you do for us. Thank you for being a part of our family.
If you would like to know what the animals are saying to you....schedule a personal session with me and we'll ask!
Safe Journeys,
Sandi
