Spirit Animal – Honouring the Child

             Picture from www.animals-zone.com image

When baby animals appear in your life, quite often, they are representing an aspect of you – your inner child.  They show us something that needs to be healed within us.  Nature has a way of showing us, by holding up a mirror, that is handy for her, what it is we need to work on.

So, over the last three days, I have received two videos and one picture of very young fawns, two pictures showing infants that were less than a day old.  As a practicing Shaman, I need to identify that this is an interesting scenario of events, and then I need to examine what it is that is going on in my life, and has gone on, that I need to address.

As I looked at the infants, I felt compassion for the aloneness that they must feel.  Both fawns were left alone within moments of birth.  Both fawns got up when they were pestered by other animals, and bleated, loud enough to bring Mama Deer back to them. 

I sat in meditation, and moved through the images, over and over.  I realized, finally, that what I saw as abandonment was really Mama Deer acting out a safe plan to draw predators away from the new born and drop her birthing far away from baby.  Mama Deer knew, too, that Baby would have instinct to guide Baby’s actions, and keep her safe. Mama’s actions upon her return to the baby showed the deer’s great love, and the great courage that Nature instilled in Deer.

So, where did I get the idea of abandonment?  Some of my first memories are of my mother being away, and being left with strangers (neighbours that acted as baby sitters).  I now know that my mother was ill with child birth complications with the birth of my siblings over the first five years of my life.

I now am healing that, and seeing the Oneness that exists between Mother and Child, and the peace that this bond brings when it is recognized for what it is.

May you have peaceful healings of any abandonment issues.
