Spirit Animal - Snail’s Pace

                              image

On the edge of my awareness sits a Snail,

  Quiet, and peaceful and serene.

She says she can tell me quite a tale,

  About trees miles high, and rivers so clean

That the bottom is clear for all to see.

 

She said there are riches for all of the beasts.

  In the land where she long has dwelt.

She says wars and conflict have ceased.

  Indeed, all the beings act as one.

And everything one needs is free.

 

“It sounds like heaven”, I said with a smile.

   “It’s not heaven, but the pace suits me fine,” said she.

“Why don’t you visit and stop for awhile

     for its tranquility transforms like a key

Fitting into a padlock releasing tension…”

  And the Snail disappeared without finishing her sentence.

Spirit Animal – Elephant Revolt

image

Sometimes, one hears the same story with different versions, over a period of several days.  This is what happened to me with Elephant.  First, I read about a circus Elephant trying to escape from a circus.  Then, my sister told me about going to a circus, and the elephant not wanting to perform, and actually pressing down on his trainer during the act, last week.  Over the last while, there have been incidents with Elephants in captivity.

The theme is that Elephants, like other animals around the world, are revolting.  Just as humans wish to through off repressive control, so does Elephant.

For other thoughts from Elephant, see:   Spirit Animal - Elephant Power  and

Spirit Animal – Elephant, or Spirit Animal – Elephant Thoughts

Spirit Animal - Learning Lessons From Merlin

120217_Merlin_9weeks_001  Merlin at 9 weeks

Merlin arrived at our house on February 6th.  In that time, he went from 3 pounds to 23 pounds, and has grown five times his original size.  I am convinced that Merlin arrived at our house to “shake things up” and to help us to re-focus on the moment.

For those of you that have had puppies in the house, you are aware that you cannot take your eyes off them while you are house training them, and especially when they start teething.  They will take a bit out of anything, including you.  One of my friends told me about her dog, and, how as a puppy, Shadow lunged at her and bit my friend’s lip to the point where my friend required several stitches.  She has the scar to this day.

I digress, however.  What I started to say was that Merlin keeps us in the present moment.  When you are in that time, you lose the past and the future.  Because of this focus on the moment, we have been able to more clearly see what our path is, and to make changes to help us along the path.  Like hummingbird, Merlin has taught us that each moment can hold its own sweetness, and that the joy of the moment can lift one’s spirits like nothing else.  Like jaguar, Merlin has taught us what it is like to be cautiously fearless.  As he explores each day, and moves farther afield in accepting other dogs and other people, he shows us that it takes some courage to go and to make new friends.  He has taught us that he knows how to identify those who will not be friends, and to stay clear of them. 

Merlin still gets up at least once a night to go out – at three months he is house trained – so we do not get a peaceful night’s sleep.  We ARE grateful though, that he does get us up and that he is learning household rules very quickly.  And, he is teaching us about playing – sometimes in the middle of the night, for just a bit, and then we all sleep better.

Life has changed, for the better.

From Judy - Karma Takes Too Long

karma (2)

I saw this poster, and thought,

“That is the problem we have today, everyone would rather fight than try to work things out.  I think that it is a product of impatience, and ego, and training.  We have learned through history that the one with the bigger stick seems to win.  So, that is what we focus on – winning.  Winning is really a form of losing when the solution only solves the problem for one person or group.  If you win, you have failed, as a leader, because not everyone is happy.  While I agree that there are some folks that you will probably never satisfy, the majority are happy and look for solutions to what keeps them from doing their job, or from living their life in peace and with ease.”

Perhaps I am wrong in my thoughts. Perhaps this poster has it right.  Perhaps we should defend ourselves, and do what is in our power to prevail over others with our own thoughts and values. 

What are your thoughts?

Spirit Animal - Buffalo’s Guidance

                                          image

Snort, and pawing, and more snorting.  I know that Buffalo has arrived.  As ever, he comes in with his big head shaking a greeting, and his snorts telling me that he is well.  He settles in for a visit.

Buffalo has visited before and provided a view of the future, where things are just a bit wilder, and where animals each have their own power.  http://angelsandancestors.blogspot.ca/2011/01/spirit-animalbuffalo-solidarity.html

An earlier communication was some thoughts on life.  http://angelsandancestors.blogspot.ca/2009/01/spirit-animal-buffalo.html

Today, Buffalo is talking about restoring balance to the plains and mountains, and indeed, to the world.  Buffalo says that keeping the animals locked up is not the answer to restoring balance.  Nor is conservation of animals the way to go.  Some species need to die down before they can evolve to the next thing that they were meant to be.  And, in some cases, that species is no longer required as a training place for souls.  A new, improved (isn’t that what marketers say?) animal is waiting to be activated by soul groups. 

Buffalo says that the challenge that faces humans is not that the other species are dying; the challenge is that perhaps the human race has reached its pinnacle and needs to die off.  Buffalo says that his kind is pushing for more freedom, much like humans have been for a very long time.  He complains that fences are too much control, although he understands the need to keep animals off roads and railway tracks.

He shook his head and gave me a lick, and told me he needed to get back to the others, and he was gone.

Spirit Animal - Hermit Crab

                               image

Sometimes, life is so surprising that getting up every day is a joy because you do not know what to expect.  It kind of makes every day like Christmas. 

My big surprise today, was to walk into an office, and find that their mascots were three hermit crabs.  Two of the crabs came out to say hello, and one stayed hidden because it was so shy.  I guess that means that it lives up to its name.

One of the crabs, when I said hello, came very close to coming out of its shell to talk to me.  Everyone was surprised at its determination.  So, one of its caretakers picked it up and held it on her hand, and up to me.  It came out on four of its legs, waving its claws, and making what sounded like a clicking and a squeak.

The conversation translated into something like this:

  • Be sure that you have the right shell (house) for what you need to do in the next stage of your life.
  • Moulting is a good way to purge the stuff that doesn’t help you any longer.  (We are purging our storage, clothes, things that we don’t use, etc.)
  • Don’t forget to look for something slightly larger than what you have.  You grow into it and you still have things to do.
  • Find a place that you like to retreat to, and you will spend your time there, and not elsewhere.
  • Do not let anyone take your shell.

Angels Speak - Love and let it come back

image

So many times we hear the phrase “if a butterfly flaps its wings in Brazil….”.  The saying is about the ripple effect of our actions.  

I am thinking about something lovely that my friend Brenda, did for another person.  She came out of Safeway and found a young woman standing, looking lost and sad and cold.  Brenda asked her if she could help the young woman.  The young woman was tired and hungry and had no success getting assistance from the person she had called on the telephone. 

Brenda took her in and bought her a sandwich and coffee, and gave the young woman the only money that she had in her wallet, a five dollar bill.  She said that she knew that this lady needed it more than she did. 

Whatever happens to the young lady, I believe the outcome will be good because someone gave her kindness and hope. 

May your day be wonderful in all ways.

Spirit Animal - Opossum Thoughts

 

image

Opossums are usually solitary and nomadic, staying in one area as long as food and water are easily available. Some families will group together in ready-made burrows or even under houses. Though they will temporarily occupy abandoned burrows, they do not dig or put much effort into building their own. As nocturnal animals, they favor dark, secure areas. These areas may be below ground or above. – from Wikipedia

An unusual visitor popped into see me in my meditation.  It was an Opossum.  Opossum is generally found in very warm areas like Florida, Virginia, Texas and Central and South America.

My visitor introduced herself as Para, and said that she had some thoughts to share.  Here are the things that were on Para’s mind.

  • Do no redo the work that others have done.  Instead of redoing it, simply improve upon it.
  • Find the clear boundary between those that are your friends and those that are your enemies.  Ask the friends to keep watch for you, and warn against the enemy.
  • Find ways to keep yourself safe.  Invent your own form of “possum”.
  • Do not be too fussy about food.  You will make your life easier.
  • However, do eat food that is good for you.  If the food is good for another, and does not suit you, do not eat it.
  • Food is a form of healthy life style.  Good food keeps your body strong.

Angels Speak - Reach for the stars

image

Have you ever wanted to give up on what you were doing?  Have you felt that life was getting you down and there was no way out?  Have you felt hope-less?  If you have, then call on us, The Angels of The Universe.

When you call on us, you will be reaching for the stars.  We bring back hope, love, and warmth.  We help you lose that cold, alone feeling that so many of you have said that you experience.   We are all about being in service to you.  If you feel more comfortable calling by name, then call on Archangel Michael or Archangel Uriel to help you.  We can help you find peace and tranquility and lift you from despair.

If you are unclear about what you need to do in a situation, then call upon us.  We will tell you to do what action comes from love.  Love is the way.  Not love leads to many problems. 

We bless you.

The Angels

From Judy - Happy St. Patrick’s Day

                                            image

When he was about 16, he was captured from Wales by Irish raiders and taken as a slave to Ireland, where he lived for six years before escaping and returning to his family. After entering the Church, he returned to Ireland as an ordained bishop in the north and west of the island, but little is known about the places where he worked. By the seventh century, he had come to be revered as the patron saint of Ireland.

Most available details of his life are from later hagiographies from the seventh century onwards, and these are now not accepted without detailed criticism. Uncritical acceptance of the Annals of Ulster would imply that he lived from 340 to 440, and ministered in what is modern-day Northern Ireland from 428 AD onwards. The dates of Patrick's life cannot be fixed with certainty but, on a widespread interpretation, he was active as a missionary in Ireland during the second half of the 5th century.  --  from Wikipedia

Buddha Speaks - Be Kind

                         image

 

There are times when I must bite my words back.  The words that I would use may seem appropriate to me, and, unkind to the person receiving them.  We all perceive life in different ways, based on our past experience.  I was having one of those days – you know the kind – where it seemed like people were going out of their way to be unhelpful, or even mean.  When I feel that way, I know I need to take a deep breath and find the peace in my heart, and then I can kindly and peacefully speak words that help the person get over what is troubling them. 

I have learned over the years that unkindness is often played forward by the person that has been hurt by another’s unkindness.  After all the leadership and team building that has been going on in business for the last fifteen years, it is troubling to see bully behaviour in businesses, often stemming from a manager. 

Perhaps try some words of peace today at work or at a gathering of friends.  Do it as an experiment to see how things play out.

Spirit Animal - Goldfinch

 

image

Goldfinch popped into my meditation with a beautiful song.  He was singing of the glory of life and how lucky we are to be able to breath air, drink water, and eat food.  He sang about flying and playing and raising a family.  He sang on about the way Finches must watch for hawks who consider Finch dessert the perfect way to end a meal.  And, he sang of migrating, and the courage that it took to go great distances.

I listened.  I heard any human father singing the same song.  We are all related.

Buddha Speaks - Do Your Own Work

image

 

The Buddha is saying, 'You are this.' He doesn’t say, 'I have something extra that I am going to give you.' Trust in yourself, trust in who you are. Sit down, breathe, be listening right now, hearing right now. Be intimate. But you have to do it for yourself. - Elihu Genmyo Smith, "No Need to Do Zazen, Therefore Must Do Zazen"

The truth of this quote has been coming up for me as I work with people in my consulting work and in my spiritual practice.  Everyone wants the results without doing the work.  It is very difficult to become great, or even good, at anything without doing the practice to get there.  I am willing to do my own work; I am not willing to do yours.

Spirit Animal Speaks - Alligator Tales

image

We tend to talk about alligators in comparison to other things such as “alligator skin” in reference to rough, dry skin on one’s hands or legs.  Or, we might talk about “alligator teeth” in reference to large teeth or an “alligator smile” if we talk about someone’s rather predatory smile.  We actually think about alligators and their cousins, crocodile, fairly often in every day life.

I was rather surprised, however, when a large alligator entered my meditation.  Alligator talked about its weaknesses.  I am using a summary of the weakness rather than repeating the whole conversation with Alligator.

“Most of the muscle in an alligator's jaw evolved to bite and grip prey. The muscles that close the jaws are exceptionally powerful, but the muscles for opening their jaws are comparatively weak. As a result, an adult human can hold an alligator's jaws shut barehanded. It is common today to use several wraps of duct tape to prevent an adult alligator from opening its jaws when handled or transported” – from Wikipedia

Alligator was making a point and giving me some good advice.

  1. If you don’t know what your weakness is, find out, even by asking others.  Then, correct the weakness if this is possible.  If not, be careful about putting yourself in situations that exploit your weakness.
  2. Those larger and stronger or more powerful than you will always be looking for your weakness.  Do not show that side of yourself.
  3. Keep your distance from predators (or strong, bullying people).  And, find out what their weakness is.  You may need to use it.
  4. Do not stay in a swamp (job or home) that is becoming dangerous to you.  Get out.  There are other swamps and rivers. 
  5. Take what you have learned from one swamp to the next swamp.  Better still, scout out the swamp before you relocate.

Angels Speak - Be Open

                                   clip_image001

I have been listening to a family member complain of all the things that are wrong in their life.  I did not know how to approach how to be of help.  Then, I saw this slide, and I knew that it is not for me to deal with.  I do not even need to be a support.  I need to remind them that they can drop the load that they are carrying at any time.  What you carry is a choice!

When we let go, we let things happen in a natural way, and life is very good.

Spirit Animal - Tiger In A Dream

image

I walked in a strange country, and did not recognize any of the road side signs or houses.  I wondered where I was.  There was a small stream off to my right.  I heard a splash.  A large tiger was walking towards me.  He huffed.

“I have tried many things to get your attention.  You, however, are always distracted.  We need to talk.”

I asked him if I should join him or did he want to sit somewhere else and talk.  He directed me to a large tree.  We sat down.

Tiger talked about several things:

  • There is benefit from going into an introspective mode from time to time.  Walk and travel by yourself; avoid your friends and family to let the “virus” of public opinion and judgement drain out of your physical body and emotional body.
  • Eat food that agrees with you.  Do not buy based on what others say.  Test what is right for your body to maintain or to gain your optimal health.
  • Rest more.  Even reduce your work week for a while and gather some energy.  You will need it.

Buddha Speaks - Finding the Moment Through Walking

image

As you walk, cultivate a sense of ease. There’s no hurry to get anywhere, no destination to reach. You’re just walking. This is a good instruction: just walk. As you walk, as you let go of the desire to get somewhere, you begin to sense the joy in simply walking, in being in the present moment. You begin to comprehend the preciousness of each step. It’s an extraordinarily precious experience to walk on this earth. - Peter Doobinin, "Awakening, Step by Step"

Spirit Animal - Golden Eagle Speaks of Vision

image

The Golden Eagle dropped to the ground not to far from me.  I have read about them, and never thought that I would see one up close.  It seemed to have a purpose in mind.  It flapped its wings several times.

Golden Eagle talked about:

  • taking on things bigger than your size; it is the way of the warrior.
  • finding one thing in a big picture that you can focus on, and achieve.  This is the way that Eagle finds dinner.
  • hearing the messages that are around you, and weeding out the ones that are important.  Life depends on it.
  • being responsible for one’s own actions.  It is the way of the leader.

Spirit Animal Speaks - Eagle Circles The Area

image

The Eagle landed and pulled up a mouse, and then took off over the river.  It circled around my dog, Magic, and me, twice, and flew away.  In the time that it circled, it cried out several times.  I felt like it was doing a shamanic circle around us and giving us a blessing. 

That night, I dreamt.  I dreamt of being in a circle of animals.  Some were eagles and some were deer and bear, and wolves, and rabbits, and owls and geese, and skunks and otters.  It felt like many of the forest and plains animals were there.  I remember seeing a buffalo and an elk as well.  The purpose of the circle was to get some agreements on caring for the land.  The idea was that all of the animals were family, and that as a family, they needed to care for the earth that they lived on.  Basically each animal had a circle or patch of land to care for.  I can’t tell you what the rules were, if any, because it did not seem important to me.  I can tell you that while the circle was in session, several very large eagles flew over it and around it as though they were protecting the area.

It made me think of the Ancestors who came west in wagons.  At night, to protect their families and their livestock, the pioneers would circle their wagons to protect their little area.  I feel like Eagle was telling me that it is time to circle the wagons and to protect what is mine, and to keep my family safe.  I am working on that now.

Angels Speak–Hold On To Your Power

                  clip_image001

The changes are happening so fast around me that sometimes I feel like a top, spinning and bouncing off what ever gets in the way.  At the same time, I feel calm and centered.  How can there be this much contrast in change?

I asked the Angels.  They said that our lives are really like hurricanes.  The hurricane is calm at the center.  The further one is from the center, the stronger the chaos is in the hurricane.  A light bulb went off!

As long as I stay true to my purpose or my what my heart tells me is right for me, then I am calm and peaceful.  When someone tries to force you or manipulate you into doing something that you are uncomfortable with, then the pushing of the chaos happens.  Another’s will is pushing against our will. 

For some reason, I found this discussion quite comforting.

Angels Speak - Think About It

I am the oldest of six children.  And, in the funny way that the Universe changes our lives, my youngest sister has been living with Roger and I while she was waiting to move into her house.

The last time I lived with my sister was in our house on the farm, when she was six, and she is now in her forties.  Her favourite books were the Dr. Seuss books, especially the book, “Green Eggs and Ham”.  She moved out on the weekend, into her beautiful house, and I miss her.  Then the poster below caught my attention, and I started to laugh! 

Dr. Seuss quotes really can change your life.

Spirit Animal - Blue Jays Visit

 image

Yesterday morning, four big, beautiful, very blue, Blue Jays came to visit.  They sat in the mountain ash and chatted to us for about ten minutes.  They had some things to say about the weather, how life was changing, and how we had not been consistent with putting out the bird seed.  They asked if we would do so because they were going to have some lag time between when spring arrived and when the snow disappeared, and they would be nesting early this year.

The Jays went on to talk about the way that some animals and some humans are beginning to come together.  They also see how some humans are becoming more aggressive to animals.  Blue Jay sees this as a coming division of humanity into those that will carry the movement of this Earth forward, and the humans that will move on to work in areas of selfishness and cruelty, as part of their learning process.  Blue Jay says that not everyone can be good as this is not what balance is about.

Spirit Animal Speaks - Canada Goose on Teams

image

As Magic, my dog, and I walked along the Bow River, a very large Canada goose came out of the water and stood on the edge of the snow shelf and chatted with us.  He had lots to say.

  • We stay because the weather is changing.  What we know is the best place to stay, rather than going south.  People here are kind and feed us.  This life is good.
  • We work as a team to make sure that the flock has food.  We observe that humans are often kinder to us, the feathered people, than to each other.  We appreciate the kindness.
  • Our team work also is about keeping everyone healthy.  We fly, we walk, and we swim.  We say that you need to get more active or you will be having many problems in your joints.
  • Our food is always natural, even alive, some might say when we eat raw little moving things in the water.   We observe that people need to eat more raw food.  The processed food is not healthy for you.
  • We see that you are now looking at bigger homes.  See how we live?  We live close to the earth and to the water.  Not only does it sustain us, it keeps us in balance.  We are not as affected by the energy changes as the humans.  Try to walk the earth more closely.  Do not live in high rises and big houses off the ground.  Live in touch with the earth.

Spirit Speaks - Like YOURSELF

clip_image001

In the Oneness of all things, we are all loved and liked.  It is only in the human world that we get attached to whether people like us or dislike us.  Where does that come from?  Usually, it comes from the expectations that our parents set for us around whether we are “good” or “bad” and whether our parents like us or not.  That expectation of being liked is transferred to our new friends outside of the family, and then to school, and so on.

What I have learned is that no one will like me if I do not like myself.  If I am constantly harping on what I see as deficiencies in myself, others will pick up on that energy, and they will mirror my feelings.  I will feel lambasted by my shortcomings.

Know that you and I are perfect.  What we see as imperfections are in fact things that we use to help us learn and grow.  We actually are moving through time and space as we learn to love ourselves.  One of the tools that I use to help me grow and to move through the self questioning and self criticism is the Ho’ponopono meditation.

                                   image

This beautiful meditation allows you to forgive yourself and others, and to move past the behaviour that is slowing you down.

May you find yourself beautiful!  May you become your best friend!

Blessings,

Spirit Speaks - You Are The Most Important Person That I Know

                               image

The month of February has been a challenging one for me.  I finished my first three months on my new job.  We got a new puppy who really did take a lot of work, and lot of energy, and we made transitions with friends and family.

Spirit, as you know, always sends you things to put your life into perspective.  The poster in the above picture helped me to put things into something that I understood: I am the perfect person to be doing what I am doing right now.  The Universe/Creator made me strong and intelligent so that I could deal with the things that were being rained upon me.  And, I am doing what I need to do.

I know that February and March 2010 are about dealing with family issues and with friend relationships.  I know that many seniors will leave the planet and that we must be prepared for that.  I know too, that we will be besieged with currents of energy that play our bodies out.

With all of this, I feel quite happy to move forward through 2012 and into 2013.  It is a perfect year for change.

A big change that we made at February 29th is to make the March 1, 2012 issue the last issue of the Angels’ Magazine.  Enjoy this last one at http://angelsandancestors.com/mag/mag1203.pdf.
