Great Spirit has given us a very great gift in the animal kingdom. Each animal has been charged with bringing us a specific type of knowledge, a specific type of healing. Each time an animal enters our life, it has something to tell us. It is there to be our allie - sometimes for a short time, sometimes for a lifetime.
Animal medicine is the energy that helps us improve our connection with the Universe and All Of Our Relations. Through listening to and walking with the animals, we learn to walk our own balanced path in this life. In short - we learn to accept and heal ourselves.
When an animal comes into our life, whether of it's own volition or by our calling it to us, we are able to use the strength of that animal's essence. If we act in a humble way, and are open to the messages and lessons that come to us, we allow ourselves to heal. They are part of our pathway to power. Be grateful for their assistance and show gratitude and respect.
The Sacred Circle of Life speaks of the inter-connectedness of all things. Through our connections with All Of Our Relations, we experience the sacred, joyful spark that lies within each of us. As we allow that spark to shine forth, we illuminate our paths on this physical plane.The message/medicine that each animal carries is individual to that animal.
Butterfly brings us the gentle medicine of transformation and reincarnation. Butterfly is the totem for the element of air - Butterfly transformation has to do with how we see ourselves and how we act on that knowledge. Life is a cycle - it is not set out in a straightforward pattern, it flows with the tides. The Butterfly is constantly in action, constantly transforming - it is all about magic.
Find your center and observe where you are in the cycle of your life. Is your journey at it's pre-beginning - i.e. still in the stage of thought and imagination? Have you progressed to where you are ready to take action to bring your ideas into the world of reality? Are you fine tuning your ideas - developing them to their fullest potential? Are your ideas full blown and ready to be shared with others?
Take a deep breath, go to your center and find where in your life cycle you are. Acknowledge where you are, and where you are going - the next step in your journey.
The medicine, the gift of Butterfly is to bring mental clarity. If Butterfly has come into your life, or if you are consciously asking for the energy of the Butterfly to be with you, you are ready for some type of transformation in your life.
Like the Butterfly - spread your wings. Let your colors flash in the light of day as you wing your way gracefully amongst All Of Our Relations.
