Spirit Animal – Chickadee’s Reminder

image

It is winter, now in the foothills and the Rocky Mountains of Alberta.  Snow covers the ground and many tree branches.  Chickadee is hardy, and stays the winter. She loves to be warm however, and needs to eat slightly more in the winter to keep her body heat up.  At night, she may drop her body temperature by five to ten degrees to conserve energy.  Chickadee has some thoughts to share.

  • We Chickadees always share our food and food caches.  We say to you that you need to share food with us and with other animals because this winter will have lots of snow.  When you learn to share with us, you learn to share with each other, with more grace.  You are learning compassion and expanding love.
  • The snow reflects the sunlight and the moonlight.  Take a walk in the snow, in a park, and experience the different light energy frequencies that are in the air.  You will be energized.  The feeling only lasts several hours because each of you have many layers of “tired”, and “should” and “must” that the light frequencies need to go through.  Find that place where you enjoy the outdoors (especially where there are chickadees) and give yourself some nature medicine.

Spirit Animal – Owl In The Woods

image

This picture of an owl comes from an email so the source is unknown.

Owl is a night-time creature so we do not expect to see it during the day.  However, when Owl has pressing messages, she will fly at any time.  Owl has these messages to share.

“Owls have very good vision.  It is time to practice improving your vision.  Do not look only ahead.  Look to the sides.  Increase the flexibility of your neck and shoulders, and learn to look behind you.  What comes up behind you is as important as what is ahead.”

“Owls sit in the branches of trees and watch the ground to spot tasty morsels to eat.  This is also a good way to observe the patterns of animal  life on the ground.  Take time to get up high or to step back ten paces from your life so that you can see your daily routine objectively.  What is it that you do over and over that gives you no pleasure and no gain?  Why do you do it?  What old pattern drives this?  Think about what you can do differently.”

“Owls operate best at night and in the early morning because that is our high energy time.  Do you shun the night and the early morning?  This is the high energy time for humans too.  You feel the pull of the Sun and the pull of the stars and planets.  This is the time to gather the energy of peace.  Try changing your routine for three months to see when you feel like you have more energy and will.  Do you feel better on your current routine or getting up earlier, for example, at 5:30am?”

Spirit Animal – Elephant Thoughts

image

Elephant says:

“The number of elephants is decreasing.  We are killed needlessly for what people believe is valuable – our ivory.  Our true value is in the work that we do for the Earth.  We thrum the resonance of life as we move through our day.  This thrum or hum is echoed by our cousins, the whales.  We move the vibration of the Earth ever higher and maintain the first grid around the Earth. 

This grid keeps peace and allows growth and evolution.  It allows the Spirit Animals to connect with each other and with their bond humans.  It allows people to be more harmonious and grateful.  As our numbers have diminished, massive loss of human life through human against human occurs.  And, many animals and fish and birds are hunted to extinction because the balance is broken.

We live in the savannahs because in these wide open spaces, we broadcast more easily.  Our sound carries a healing vibration to it that will move around the planet.

When you sit in meditation, invite us, the Elephants, into your circle.  Ask us to share our song with you, and then you, too may help in broadcasting this vibration.  See how it changes you and those around you.  It is a wonderful thing, to be in service to something greater than one’s self.”

Spirit Animal – Jaguar Strength

jaguar spotted in tree

Picture is from “Big Cat Wallpaper”

The Aztecs and Mayans regarded Jaguar as a symbol of strength and leadership since Jaguar is at the top of the food chain.  The royal families regarded Jaguar as sacred, and claimed that she walked the Royal Ones between the worlds of the living and the dead.  The Royal Ones would seek counsel from their dead Ancestors and needed protection to move between the worlds.  Shaman in South and Central America see Jaguar as the spirit of the jungle for it is she who controls the different species population. 

Jaguar regularly gave advice to the Royal Ones.  Now, she has advice for you.

  • Jaguar does not exert herself unnecessarily.  She stalks her prey, and then goes ahead and ambushes the animal.  She tells you that you need to decide what your goal is, and do the required ground work, and then wait for the goal to be achieved.  Constantly redirecting your effort to the goal creates road blocks. By moving behind her prey, Jaguar links with the animal and creates a Oneness.  Do you have Oneness with those you work with, or socialize with?
  • Jaguar swims as much as possible – the water keeps her cool and provides easy exercise to keep her muscles toned for short runs and for climbing.  She says to you, get a better exercise program going.  Try swimming.  It will allow you to exercise without stress.  Warm water is the best for you will not get cramps.  The time in the water will sweep away toxins in your body.
  • Jaguar spends time in trees, both to hunt from a high vantage point, and to observe Nature, and the movements of animals and of humans.  By watching the way that the animals move through the jungle, and the times that they move, Jaguar changes her hunting habits in an intelligent way.  She asks whether you observe the flow of people and of energy around you.  Do you know what energy/people affect you?  Do you know who gets in your way?  How can you redirect your life to stay out of the path that is not comfortable and move onto a path that benefits you?

Spirit Animal – Hippopotamus Rules

image

Picture from junglephotos.com

Hippopotamus lives a very  peaceful life.  That is because she has a set of guidelines or rules, to govern her life.  She encourages us to adapt her rules because they have kept the hippopotamus alive for sixty thousand years, and these rules have allowed her to evolve.

  1. Pick your environment, and know it well.  Our environment is a gift from our cousins, the Whale family.  This allows us to be in mostly a freshwater marine environment. We are always watchful about who or what enters our territory, and we defend our area vehemently.  You, who harass us, call us vicious.  Perhaps when you invade someone else’s country, you would call their reaction vicious as well.
  2. Water is necessary for life.  It is how we live.  Water protects us from predators, from sunburn, from dehydration, from fear of drowning or flooding, and from famine.  All that we need comes from water.  We share our water with other animals as long as they are not invasive.
  3. We eat greens – all kinds, but mostly grass.  We have one food that is particularly good for us and we stick to it.  Too much variety in the diet leads to discomfort, which is stressful, and which causes aggressive behaviour. It may be that you need to eat less variety and more of the healthy greens like we do.
  4. We band together to keep one another safe.  Yet, we do not form close attachments because there is no need.  Therefore, there is little drama in the pod.  We each do our own thing, together.  Perhaps you get too caught up on one another’s lives, which is why your life does not seem peaceful.
  5. Our life is peaceful.  We have oneness in our pod.  We move together.  We have little to fight about.  Life is good.

Spirit Animal – Fox Play

image

Source of picture – unknown

Fox is now seen in towns and cities.  She has decided that since man is moving into her territory, she will use man’s space as a hunting ground.  She now births her pups in the wooded parks, and keeps them safe during their growing time.

Fox says:

  • Fox knows how to adapt quickly to new environments. Humans, it seems, want to keep everything the same.  I say to you that change is now here and it will be rapid.  Look at the changing Nature around you.  Figure out how to adapt and enjoy the change.  Fighting against it will cause you to be ill.
  • Going into another’s area or territory will give you a new perspective on life.  Simply sitting in your chair, in your territory, and criticizing what others do is not useful.  Go! Explore! And perhaps you will learn compassion along the way. 
  • My pups are most precious and I will do anything to keep them safe. I teach them to read the land, and to listen to the animals.  I teach them to know what is good food and bad food.  I teach them to dig and to build a den.  I watch and listen to how your pups are treated.  You stick them in territories with fences around them and unnatural play things.  They do not know how to be in the woods or the grasslands.  They do not know how to fend for themselves and to be aware.  Are your children not precious to you?

Spirit Animal – Dolphin Dream Visit

image

Dolphins have been called the “Ambassadors of the Oceans” because they are so friendly and love to play around ships, boats, and even swimmers.  They more truly should be called the Messengers Of the Oceans” because when Dolphin shows up, she comes to lead a ship through treacherous waters, or help out a sailor, or do some healing work.

When Dolphin shows up in dream time, then these may be some of the messages that she brings.

  • You have had your head down, working, for a long time.  You are in danger of drowning.  It is time to come up for air, and see what the world looks like above the surface.
  • The Sun penetrates only several feet into the water.  Sunlight does not go through the walls of buildings.  You know this.  Yet, you do not spend time outside.  Are you feeling poorly?  Could it be that your Vitamin D (sunshine vitamin) is low?  Check in with your Doctor and you will find that it is much lower than you think. 
  • It is time for a deep dive into the world of your child hood.  Face all the emotional issues from that time before your next big family event, and you will see that your family no longer has a hold on you.  Get some help with this.  Dolphins know how to work together to raise young, hunt food, and keep the pod safe.
  • Jump for joy!  Oh, you don’t feel joyful?  Isn’t it time that you discovered WHY it is that you do not feel joyful?  Spend time thinking about what makes you joyful, and what doesn’t.  Get your jump back.

Angels Speak – Get With The Program

image

We have all heard all the sayings - “march to the sound of your own drummer”, and “every one marches to a different beat”.  Or, “everyone’s marching one way, and you need to get with the program”. 

Well, the Angels are saying that it is time for you to remember why you asked to come to Earth to walk “your talk”.  YOU did not come here to beat someone else’s drum, you came here to pound out your own tune.  Your music, what ever that might be, is what helps keep the world in balance. 

Remember the chorus from the song, “I’d Like To Teach The World To Sing”?  It goes like this….

Chorus:
I'd like to teach the world to sing
In perfect harmony
I'd like to hold it in my arms
And keep it company
(That's the song I hear)
I'd like to see the world for once
(Let the world sing today)
All standing hand in hand
And hear them echo through the hills
For peace throughout the land
That's the song I hear
(That's the song I hear)
Let the world sing today
(Let the whole wide world keep singing)
A song of peace that echoes on
And never goes away 

~~(R. Cook/R. Greenway/B. Backer/B. Davis)

The Angels remind you that coming to Earth to get rich or to be poor or to be sick, or to be in a dead end job, was never part of the plan.  They tell you that each person was to break free from the constraints of the world created by their parents, and that each person was to live in a way that made that person absolutely happy.  Living a life based on “you should”, and “you’d better”, and someone else’s agenda is making people sick – sick to death. 

So, sit down on a couch or a log or where ever you are comfortable, and find out what makes you happy, and find out where you want to be.  Then, get with your program.

Angels Speak – Planet From Another Galaxy

The angels tell us that we don’t know all that we don’t know… and to me, that is fascinating! Astronomers have just found that other galaxies do exist, and now they have been able to prove that planets are inside these galaxies. 

The angels say:

  1. It is now time for you to look skyward because there is so much out there that you will be discovering.  If there are planets, then the next assumptions is that there are beings on those planets.  It is time to change your thinking.
  2. The prophecies have talked about the Earth changing, and perhaps migrating to a new level of being.  Perhaps, the Earth is physically moving so that now scientists can now see different aspects of the heavens.

Check out more on the discovery of a new planet in this article…

Spirit Animal - Dragonfly

image

Picture of dragonfly from www.dailymail.co.uk

Although it is winter now in Calgary, emphasized by the six or seven inches of fresh snow, Dragonfly appeared in my meditation screen today. 

Dragonfly has a lot of different legends associated with it. 

For some Native American tribes they represent swiftness and activity, and for the Navajo they symbolize pure water. Dragonflies are a common motif in Zuni pottery; stylized as a double-barred cross, they appear in Hopi rock art and on Pueblo necklaces. – from Wikipedia

image

Dragonfly has come in to share some thoughts with us.

image We Dragonflies hang out along rivers, lakes, streams, swamps.  We are born at the bottom of the water, and like a spring, we move from the depths to the surface.  We transform, and fly away into the air, to rest on trees.  Is it time for you to transform something about yourself, or in your environment?

imageOur primary food is mosquito, and to provide variety, we like bees and ants.  We do not vary much from our diet.  We say to you that you need to be more selective in your diet.  Eat fresh food that you hunt yourself.  Avoid the fast foods because they are dead and filled with bacteria from much handling.  Bacteria is one of the beings that can stop Dragonfly.

imageDragonfly needs clean water to survive.  Some places are getting more Dragonflies because they are cleaning up the water, or increasing the water levels.  If we appear to you, we are telling you to increase your water intake.  Water makes things flow because it pushes the blocks aside.  Water flushes all that is stuck.  Drink more water and feel your body lighten up.

Spirit Animal - Rooster

image

Picture from www.nashvillescene.com

A rooster is a symbol of male domination, not only of the chickens, but of the farmyard.  Several sports teams have Rooster as an emblem or totem, on their team sweaters.  Roosters have been used in betting circles to stage “cock fights” and to proclaim mastery at fighting.

Rooster, however, is not happy with Man, and Man’s attempt to subvert Rooster’s natural tendencies to become a source of entertainment and profit.  Rooster has this to say about life.

  • I like to work with farmers and keep the barnyard safe by alerting the farmer to potential threats from predators.  I do not like that Man has made me a predator in the ring.  I tell everyone that being made to do something against your will is a form of slavery. Fight against it.
  • I crow as a warning to other roosters, and to foxes and wolves, and other eaters of chickens, that I am on the job.  I tell them to beware.  I see people move through life without doing any crowing.  You need to have the confidence to say, “I am great at what I do.”  Moving through life with your head up and in an alert state will protect you.
  • Roosters scratch in the dirt for food.  In this way, we stay grounded, and stay in touch with Mother Earth.  More people should ground themselves in the here and now instead of allowing their lives to drift away by fantasizing about what will not be because they have not taken action.

Spirit Animal – Mink

image

Mink picture from Wikipedia

Mink is an animal that we know of from all the fur coats that we see.  Man is one of the worst predators for Mink.  Other predators include Great Horned Owls, bobcat, and fox. Never-the-less, Mink thrives on fish and other aquatic life, small mammals (rabbits especially), and birds, particularly water fowl. (Predator and food info from Wikipedia.)  Mink is very territorial, and maps out its territory around a river, stream or lake. 

Mink has these thoughts to share with you.

  1. It is hard to retake your territory.  Mark your boundaries well, and allow no encroachment on your space, values or projects.
  2. We all have predators who want something from us.  Learn who has you in their sites, and what their agenda is.  Figure out what you can do to move out of their range of attention.  Sometimes making noise is not a good thing.
  3. Mink do nap, with one eye open.  Take short breaks to renew your energy, and always know where your “safe” place is.
  4. Pay attention to your diet.  Eat only what agrees with you, and eat only what you need.

Buddha Speaks – Silence and Meditation

Last night, our friend Al was here. We three enjoy one another’s company, and the lively discussions we have on enlightenment, choice, healing tools, and the books that we are reading.

Our time together also has moments of silence when we contemplate the words that have just been spoken. There is a courtesy and thoughtfulness that goes with our “silences”.

In light of our conversations last night, I found this little Zen teaching on silence very funny.

image

Sounds of Silence


Four monks decided to meditate silently without speaking for two weeks. By nightfall on the first day, the candle began to flicker and then went out. The first monk said, "Oh, no! The candle is out." The second monk said, "Aren't we not suppose to talk?" The third monk said, "Why must you two break the silence?" The fourth monk laughed and said, "Ha! I'm the only one who didn't speak."

The teaching around this little story varies. Generally, the story reflects the challenges of sitting in meditation. Each of the monks experiences a block that affects their practice.

I was thinking about this and realized that this little story is also a reflection of our lives and the situations that block us from attaining our true goals.

What are your thoughts?

Spirit Animal – Timberwolf on Winter

image

Q. Do you do anything to prepare for winter?

“When winter is coming, we teach the two year old cubs about the way winter can work.  The snow can be a help when it is deep.  It can help keep the elk and the moose trapped in the forest and this makes it easier for us to hunt them.”

Q.  Do you move further south for the winter?

“We follow the big herds of moose, elk, and woodland caribou.  Where they go, we go.”

Q.  How do you feel about winter?

Picture a blank expression.  “It just is.  Winter is the balance of things and gives the trees and grass rest.”

Q.  Where do you sleep in the winter?

“We are often on the move in winter.  We sleep in sheltered spots, under the overhanging tree or in a cave, or under shrubs that have created a dry space protected from the wind.”

Angels Speak – 11-11 Portal of Light

This is a beautiful video by Anrita Melchizedek and published by The Twinflames.  The video is a presentation of “

“Invocation for the New Reality Paradigm”

Note, that overtime, the link to this YouTube video may change. 

 

 

Judy@angelsandancestors.com

From Judy – November 11th, We Remember!

Today is Remembrance Day in Canada.  Today, I remember my great grandfather on my mother’s side, my grandfathers on both my mother’s and my father’s side, numerous great uncles, uncles, and cousins. Most of them are no longer here.  Most of them have fought several wars.  Some of them are now retired, and still doing what they can for others.

I am thankful that my Ancestors were very brave and that they had a strong sense of right, of truth, and a belief that no one man, no one country, and no one religion should rule the world.  I am thankful that they fought for what they believed in. Their actions have been a shiny example for me, of standing on one’s truth. 

I am thankful, too, for all the women in my family, who supported the men, and who acted as machinists, nurses, labourers,  and who made do with what was available.  These women taught me about necessity living.

I am aware that the peace that I have in my life is because all of you stood for what you believed in.  Thank – you.

May all of you know that you are honoured and loved through time.

Spirit Animal – Bumblebee Time

Whenever bees come up for me, I realize that the Bumblebee brings many messages:
  • enjoy the sweetness of life
  • stop and enjoy the flowers
  • have meaningful work
  • take the time to enjoy the journey

In this article about Bees solving complex problems faster than computers, I realize that Bumblebee is also about efficiency.  And, in this fast paced world that I travel in, I am constantly looking for ways for my clients and for me to be more efficient. 

Bees Solve Complex Problems Faster Than Supercomputers 

October 26, 2010

Bees_experiments_flowers

From the DailyGalaxy.com ---- In a new study, researchers report that bumblebees were able to figure out the most efficient routes among several computer-controlled "flowers," quickly solving a complex problem that even stumps supercomputers. We already know bees are pretty good at facial recognition, and researchers have shown they can also be effective air-quality monitors. – 

What would you do with your time if you could control it completely?  Where would you spend your time?  Would you find you get more done?

Spirit Animal – White Tiger

I went to my sacred place a couple of days ago, and the most beautiful white tiger was lying on the couch in my space.  She turned and looked at me, and I knew that this was a very special guide, and one that was a little scary.  She was scary because she could see in to all of me – I can hide nothing from her.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I asked her what name I should call her, and she gave me a name that is our code word, and that I cannot share.  She seemed to go to sleep for a bit, and then she turned and looked at me again, and said, “What is it that you truly want to do at this time of your life?”

There was a long pause while I thought about it.  I realized that I wanted to do exactly what I was doing – writing, working on a book, working on Data Cloud Consulting www.datacloudconsulting.com, my new consulting company.  So I said, “I am doing exactly what I wish to be doing.” 

There was a silence for several minutes.  And she spoke, “How can you be doing this better?”

I thought again.  “Perhaps I need to be more focused, and more disciplined,” I said.  I was feeling good because I thought that I had the right answer.

“Perhaps you need to listen more clearly to what is going on around you,” she said.  Then she shut her eyes and seemed to go very soundly asleep.

“Excuse me!” I said.  There was no response.  I tried again.  There was no response. 

I am now wondering whether I should be listening to somebody or something, or listening for something, or, just generally listening to the sound of the sound of the ethers/universe.  Perhaps I should be listening for a call to do something or to go somewhere. 

While I am figuring this out, do have a day full of laughter!

Spirit Animal – Horse World

One of the universal symbols of freedom is the horse.  It has strength, speed, intelligence, and a nobility that touches peoples’ hearts. Some of the best stories and legends are about horses.

When I saw this picture, I quickly went to a place of wondering what this Earth would look like if Horse was in the place of dominance that Man is currently in.

image

Would Horse have let the planet get to the state that we are in now?

I believe that under Horse rule, the following would never have occurred:

  • fast food – they have grass and dried grass
  • cars – in fact, I don’t think they would have even invented the wheel
  • shopping malls
  • open pit mining
  • gas and oil drilling and spills and the death of many water creatures
  • logging
  • urban development and sprawls
  • tobacco/cigarettes and cigars
  • paint

I am sure there is a whole list of things to be added here.  Go ahead and suggest things to add to the list.  I will update this blog later with all your ideas.

Angels Speak – The Face Of The Elements

I have been noticing that the wind and the rain, and all of the elements, seem to becoming more visible.  Some might say that they are taking on human personas.

I generally do not think about things like that too much because I am usually listening to what is going on around me.  However, I keep coming back to look at this picture that I took of a rainbow, and the cloud behind the rainbow.  I keep seeing a face in the cloud.

 09172010_004

What do you see, if anything?

Here is what I see…..

Perhaps it is not the face of the cloud, but the face of the rainbow.

What ever it is, it feels good.

Spirit Animal – Buffalo Says “Don’t Fence Me In”

image

Today, in my meditation, the word of the day that came up was “abundance”.  Quickly behind that thought was the phrase, “set me free”.  I was having a hard time putting those two thoughts together as a message, and then one of my friends sent me this picture because she knows that I have an affinity for Buffalo.

“Aaahhh!”, I said.  “This picture brings the two ideas into perfect balance and I see the harmony between them.” 

Buffalo has a message, both in its actions and by broadcasting to me.

  1. Abundance has many forms.  Buffalo was a gift to The People of the prairies.  Now The People had a larder of meat that was easily accessible to them.  Buffalo provided food, clothing, and weapons and tools (from the bones and horns").
  2. When you fence in animals and people, you take away their creativity and will to “be involved”.  Cities and businesses do a good job of fencing everything in with a set of rules and things that you “have” to do.
  3. Moving forward means that you often have to cross the barriers that seem to contain you.  A fence is only as high as you let it be… and you can always knock it down!

A large crater  appeared in the early hours in the central German town of Schmalkalden on November 1, 2010.

The guidance that came to me is that humans have been pressuring the Earth for the last thirty-five years, and covering huge parts of her with cement in the form of roads, parking lots, big buildings, runways, and developments.  These “coverings” have choked off the Earth’s natural ability to breath.  Even though, in some cases, Man has created huge craters in the form of open pit mines, the holes are not natural and do not allow the Earth to breath properly. 

As with any creature, the Earth is finally struggling not to choke and die.  She therefore opens up huge breathing holes, similar to the whales opening their blow holes, where ever it feels natural and right.  Earth pays no attention to what is on the surface.

If we saw another human cruelly choking an animal, we would cry out in outrage, and work to stop the human who was doing the choking.  It is now helpful to have that same view around the sink holes that are appearing. Yes, it is too bad that people are loosing houses and garages. Maybe they are required to move elsewhere. 

If you are having difficulty picturing the difficulty that Mother Earth is having with her breathing, take a few minutes to do this meditation.

Meditation on Earth Breathing

1.  Put on some very tight clothes.

2.  Sit as comfortably as you can in meditation position – perhaps full lotus.

3.  As you start the meditation, breath in deeply for a count of seven, hold for seven, and release for seven.

4.  Do this for a minute.

5.  Notice how difficult it is to take a deep breath?  Even after you have done several of them, the going seems to get tougher, and not easier.

6.  Try it again to see if it easier the second time.

7.  Now, go and change clothes and get into some very comfortable, loose clothing.

8.  Try the same exercise again.

9.  Do you see the difference?  Do you feel the difference?  Do you feel like stretching after you get into the looser clothing? 

10.  It is the same for Mother Earth.

11.  Now, do the breathing, taking in very deep breaths, and imagine that you are harmonizing your breath to the Mother’s. 

12.  Feel your anxiousness subside.  Feel the Earth become calmer.  Feel the Oneness, and the peace.

13.  Do this breathing exercise for ten minutes.

14.  When you are finished, bow to Mother Earth nine times to honour her journey, and thank her for providing the greater home that you live on.

15.  Clear your space, and return to the Now.

Have a great day!

Earth Changes – November 1 2010

Although we have been hearing a lot of different thoughts and reasons for climate change from the various media sources, the information from the Inuit has a different feel to it.  Here is the trailer from their movie.  At the end of this short video is the link for the movie.
