Do Bigfin reef squid listen out for predatory whales? From “The cephalopods can hear you” by Matt Walker Editor, Earth News http://news.bbc.co.uk/earth/hi/earth_news/newsid_8095000/8095977.stm From the article … “ “Squid are heavily preyed upon by toothed whales including dolphins. So perhaps their hearing would aid them to avoid the pinging sounds made by dolphins," says Yan. He says the different abilities of the octopus and squid also reflect the environment they live in.”
From Wikipedia, “ The main body mass of the squid is enclosed in the mantle, which has a swimming fin along each side. These fins, unlike in other marine organisms, are not the main source of ambulation in most species. The skin of the squid is covered in chromatophores, which enable the squid to change color to suit its surroundings, making it effectively invisible. The underside of the squid is also almost always lighter in color than the topside, to provide camouflage from both prey and predator.”
So, if Squid shows up in your life, what message is she bringing? She may have several:
- As a master of camouflage, Squid may be saying to you that at this time, you should not show your true colours – she may guide you to hide your self amongst the others, and to wait for the best opportunity to show yourself, and write your ticket for what it is you need.
- Squid spends all of her time in the clear wide, deep ocean. In energy work, water is all about emotion. Squid tells you that it is time to delve deep into the emotion that is building up in your body – especially if you have high blood pressure (a combination of water and salt, just like the ocean).
- The Bigfin Reef Squid – pictured – has ten very long thin arms, all the same length. She is telling you that the numbers one and zero are very important to you. Ten represents “The All” and “Nothing” or as Osho would say, “Nothingness”. The number ten represents the motion of the world – we all move away from Source, and after the ninth step, return to Source in step ten. It is a reminder to reconnect with your Higher Self, and with Great Spirit or God, or what ever name you u
Let Squid lead you on an epic journey that allows you to roll with the waves of emotion, and to grow internally, as your individual character undergoes waves of change.
I recently bought a beautiful cephalopod fossil and it has been very powerful for me. I have been meditating with it for a couple weeks but recently became more interested in what squid was saying and this was right on the money! Thank you for all that you do
