Finding our Spirit Animals and totems

 

More than likely if you are reading this article about spirit animals you probably have a favorite animal. Some people have this animal everywhere and often get gifts from others with the animal on it because they know you love this animal so much. This favorite animal is your spirit animal and carries with it special skills and messages that are beneficial for you to embrace if you aren’t naturally doing so already. On some level you relate closely and feel a sort of connection or kinship in this animal. It could be from a past life where this animal was in your life or you were this animal in a past life. Any way there is to it this animal is one of many who are part of your Spirit totem. A spirit totem is a sacred spirit tribe of animal guides. Some of these spirit animals have always been with you and others come and go. You may not always be aware of them but they are always there. The divine universe is not separate from us and is always talking to us. Sometimes we think things are our imagination but a majority of the time it’s the universe trying to help you on your life path. Animals are often loved or feared and all of them have very unique skills and features about them that when presented to us can be utilized to get us through tough times.

There are quite a few ways for you to tap into your higher self and try and decipher which spirit animals are part of your totem and which spirit animals are passing through with a message or skill for you to embrace on your current path. This article will share some of the most common spirit animals and a few very unique and rare ones as well. Keep in mind that any animals not listed here that you feel drawn to or who cross your path and catch your awareness for a split second are in your life for a reason and their message can be found in learning more about who they are as a species. You can research the animal and look at them metaphorically while using your intuition to see what it is they are trying to teach or the message they have for you.

Some other ways you may find out who your spirit animal is:

• Meditation

• Going in nature and observing

• Calling the animal or nature

• Looking within

• Art and creative writing

• Writing about it in your journal

• Tapping into your Imagination

Before we go into the different spirit animals I want you to think about first what your three favorite animals are and either write their names down in order of the strongest connection you feel toward that animal. Next to each animal write one strong physical feature that can be seen with your eyes, one strong physical skill they have, and one unique thing about them that stands out to you most. Next leave the 4th and final spirit animal blank. This gives you the opportunity to ask the divine universe to send you a sign of what the 4th animal in your totem is. If you were unable to come up with three favorites you can also ask them to present to you a sign of what your other spirit animals may be.

Once you consciously put out to the divine universe that you are interested in connecting with your spirit animal they will find various ways for you to show who that animal is. You may see animals on a billboard or hear someone talk about an animal, or you may even watch a movie with an animal but the moment an animal is presented to you and you feel an ah-ha moment and an instant knowing that the universe is showing you this animal for a reason that is your 4th totem animal. These four are your spirit animal tribe so to speak and they may have always been with you or are here at this stage in life.

Using the same technique above when you have a problem you can ask the universe for a sign to help you with a problem and they will present an animal to you and that animal's characteristics may just have the message you need. Keep in mind spirit animals can be all of nature not just animals. Often insects and other living creatures in nature are part of our spirit totem as well.

Understanding Eclipses and what they actually mean for you

Even in our far off history the mysterious energy of an eclipse has always been a big part of all cultures. Some theorize it is because the sky suddenly going black or the moon turning black is an enigma especially in times where natives didn’t necessarily have a calendar system in place. Over time this changed and they became a bit more predictable but in our current day and age where we have a noticeable combination of exaggerated media and simultaneously people expanding in consciousness with the desire to know truth. When the media blows things out of proportion to a society that is eager for truth, knowledge, and growth it can at times turn into a fear based situation where people begin to dread these natural phenomena and not learn the truth they desire. The media is a blessing and a curse. On the one hand it brings large masses of like minded people together but on the other hand you have those who just want to be noticed in this big world and use the media as this outlet.

On that note it is our job as truth seekers to get in tune with ourselves enough that we can tell when things are being exaggerated and search for what is really happening on our own.Let me shed some light on the topic of eclipses, no pun intended. Most people will agree that without the Sun and the Moon we would be lost on so many levels. The Sun is our main energy source and we need it for so many things including our health and vitality. The Moon is just as essential and we can learn a lot from its eb during the fall of the time and flood during the rise of the tide. It is in magnetic motion with our earth and we are all magnetized by it as well.

When we have a solar eclipse the moon, as it orbits the Earth, comes in between the sun and earth and blocks the sunlight. Looking at the sun as our energy source and the moon as our eb and flood of emotions we can metaphorically say that our emotions are taking over our vitality or energy. What gets exaggerated is when the media talks about what zodiac signs will be in trouble, have the hardest times, or are most affected by this. These few choice words are what freak people out. What is actually a natural occurrence is giving all people the change to stop and reflect on how their energy and actions have caused them to be in the place in life they are in and how it has effected them on a “feeling” or “emotional” level. Feelings are the true language of our human existence and a lot of time we lose touch with it due to our need to shine in the eyes of those around us. Humans want to be accepted and love and stray off the path of being in tune with how they really feel at times. The zodiac sign that the eclipse is happening determines a collection of people who may feel the eclipse more than others. They may need to reflect deeper and really look at why they are feeling off. If they choose not to reflect over the course of the following six months of an eclipse the universe will through challenges at them forcing them to reflect and this is why people may freak out. No one wants change or challenges forced upon them. So if the universe is showing you signs that an eclipse is coming just educate yourself and take some personal time to self reflect so you can do the work needed and then you will have a lot less to worry about.

When we have a lunar eclipse it is similar but more along the lines of you may have let emotional situations get out of hand and you need to add more action into the situation so that your shadow side does not take over. All in all the eclipses are unique times in life where we can pinpoint what is going on in our lives and take the opportunity to level set and work through them so they do not get out of control in the future. The universe is always talking to us and always giving us the exact information we need to hear, grow, and learn. The universe knows you want answers and are looking for them but sometimes we need to tune out to tune in. So turning off the over exaggerated media and tuning into what feels right so you can use the situation to listen to what your inner self needs you to know.

Awareness is the answer to our existence...

I heard someone in a tik tok say the search for pleasure is an addiction and that everything we do is in search for pleasure and he quoted the Buddha's saying searching for pleasure brings suffering. So instead find your own joy and find peace in that.

BUT I realized that once that has been obtained, if it is possible as a human, then it only creates the same thing…seeking our own joy so we find peace. There is no difference in that statement. Finding peace in pain? Sitting in pain. What happens when you sit in pain? You become aware of the pain. What happens when you are very happy? You become aware of what makes you happy even if it is from an altering thing such as drugs or a relationship. But then those same things all bring a level of pain and you are aware of that too.

LITERALLY the meaning of existence is nothing but being aware. Being aware of everything. Bringing light to that which once eluded you. Why did something happen? You find out by bringing awareness to the things around it. Why do we exist? In order to know why we exist we are forced to become aware. Why did that car crash gointo the other car? This and that were happening and each person needed to experience it for their own awareness of something and we witnessed it to bring our awareness to it for our own reason. To be detached doesn’t mean to not engage or be involved, it means that when we detach we are able to see outside of the situation and bring awareness to what is really happening. Again you can take anything and fit in it that the answer is merely awareness. As soon as we are sick we try to find out why….we do things we never did before, some of those things work some of them do not work…we have brought awareness to behaviors and habits we never knew existed but the illness forced us to look and become aware of things.

When we escape we become aware of other things and when those things bring suffering and pain we become aware that they brought us suffering and pain and we move onto something else. And then we get to a state of being which is why we are experiencing all these things….just you asking is the point…to become aware…to not sit back and just exist. To ask the whys to search and experience. There is no right and wrong because both bring awareness in our own unique situations. When we over think as many of us do we are in a sense escaping as well. We are overloading our brains with worries and things we have no control over but if we quiet our brains and detach we bring awareness to all the things we thought were going on and see what it really was.

There is no other point to life except awareness. Become aware of who you have always been…you came to experience this life to wake up from the illusion of what is projecting outside of you and be aware of who and what you really are. 

Quantum Jumping Timelines while Co-Creating and Manifesting your Best life!

Our Auras - energy field - are how it is decided which timeline or path of reality we are on currently on based on how we vibrationally match that reality. This determines our current timeline we are on which we are constantly jumping from one to another frequently as we change our vibration with every passing thought or event. This is why they say we are limitless with and always have endless possibilities.

Our auras are our own thoughts, beliefs, intentions and are often also colored by the interaction we have with our environment and other people. Our aura is colored by our awareness of ourselves which is through the interactions of our environment and others as well as our time with self reflection and when we go within. It is the power of self awareness and knowledge and the will to go within and learn who we truly are where we have the ability to co-create and manifest our desires and dreams.

If we have the power to know ourselves and see ourselves growing and changing in front of us we then have the power to change our vibration merely by dreaming and healing simultaneously. This may entail us eliminating toxic environments and people who do not allow us to vibrate our true authentic selves.

By being self aware and on the path to healing we learn to flow and allow….this is where Co-creating begins. If we put out what we desire with our creative visualization along with changing our auras to live our most authentic self we then merely allow and flow with the universe to make it happen. We do not PHYSICALLY have to manipulate anything…we merely have to heal, grow, and live the most authentic life. Others are able to manifest through manipulation but they are creating karmic pathways that must be lived through and inturn create obstacles and pain…and most of us want to avoid as much pain as possible…and if we are going to feel pain it might as be through the process of growing and healing and eliminating karma and not making more karma.

The below is a passage from Colette Baron Reid’s tarot Oracle deck the “Seeing Beyond” card.

There are two ways to view the world and co-create with it: One is from a face-value perspective; what you see is what you get. The second is allowing your imagination to see beyond what something “is” right now and move into a place that doesn’t yet exist in the material world. In this cosmic playground. of possibilities, you see into a future where anything you imagine has the potential to become real.

If you use your imagination faithfully and consciously, avoiding the traps of fearful projection and drama, you can connect to any reality you truly want to experience. When you open yourself even further, you’re often gifted with a Divine vision. As a practice, you can reimagine that vision over and over to strengthen it. As you channel these visions through you, you become a superconductor for the world.

Today know that your vision, what you imagined forming in the invisible, will be delivered into the material world. Don’t worry about the timing of things; that is in the hands of the universe. Your job is to continue to imagine, take a few steps forward, then imagine some more. The universe’s job is to make it real. What a fabulous partnership.

In closing if you want to change your reality and manifest your dreams merely heal, grow, be vulnerable, and live your most authentic life followed by allowing and flowing so that the universe can put your intentions and current vibrations and manifest your best life!

There Are Messages Everywhere!

 

ACCESSING KNOWINGNESS

This blog post is a test in reaching out to those who are ready to tap into universal or
divine consciousness. This post's original form is in a workbook feel free to write your
personal answers on paper or in a journal of your choice. All comments are welcome
and no comments will be deleted or filtered. If you are interested in more exercises in
ACCESSING KNOWINGNESS feel free to email me.

ACCESSING KNOWINGNESS

Accessing Knowingness is tapping into the divine universe and channeling that knowledge.
At times it can be jumbled and misread because our brains and communication are so limited
in comparison to the vastness of the divine but there is always a way to filter it so that the most
appropriate message is relayed. No knowledge comes through that the divine doesn’t want you
to know it all has a purpose. All the thoughts you think all the feelings you feel are all the universe's
way of communicating to you and guiding you on your way.

Accessing Knowingness is “knowing” that every thought you have is a message. Sometimes those
thoughts do not sit right with you and you feel mislead. There is no right and wrong there is no
mislead. You needed to hear what you heard you needed to think what you thought you needed to
feel what you felt so that the awareness can expand and grow to where you will eventually be. 

EXERCISE 1

Ask yourself in this instance a question you want divine guidance on. Do not feel the need to filter or
limit what you would like to know.

Write the question below:

_________________________________________________________________________________
_________________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________

No close your eyes and repeat the question in your minds eye. Then open your eyes and write every
thought that comes into your head. Express every feeling you feel. Do not analyse or over think just
write what comes to you:

________________________________________________________________________________
_________________________________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________

You just accessed Divine Knowingness.

How do you know if the message you channeled is correct or not? How do you know if it will lead you '
to your desired outcome or not? Because you already know that there is no right or wrong answer,
thought, or feeling. The divine universe already knew what would pass through your mind and the
divine universe made sure it woke you up to a new awareness.

Now will this answer or truth be the same if you ask this question in a month? Maybe not. You have
opened a gateway to a new awareness that has the chance to grow and expand in both positive and
negative ways. What ever manifests after this exercise brought you on the exact path the divine
universe knows you needed to take to bring you to your next expanded awareness. Everything
happens for a reason.

EXERCISE 2

Part I

You may have felt like your translation in the first exercise was jumbled and scattered. It is possible
you spent some time questioning yourself and what you were writing unsure if it was your feelings or
over thinking. Again none of it was wrong. In this next exercise we are going to help you shift your
energy to a place where it feels more clear and calm. Listen to the link below for 30 mins while doing
any everyday tasks such as cleaning, reading, or going for a walk. When you are done follow the
second part of this exercise.

Listening to these tunes will subconsciously shift your energy to a place where channeled information
will come through accurate and clearly. 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFy0x2Kn6UA

Part II

Sit or lay comfortably while listening to the chants. Once you feel a sense of peace ask a question
that has been on your mind. You may ask any question at all. Once you have asked the question
allow yourself to listen to the thoughts and feelings that come into your mind. Some may hear words,
some may have visions, and others may just feel peaceful. If you fall asleep and feel as though you
did not receive any answers you are very wrong. While the mental brain is resting your higher self and
subconsciousness were listening clearly. Now take some to record what came to you after your asked
your question and record your experience below. The amount of time you spent while listen to the
chants and working through your question does not matter. You could have been listening for 5
minutes or asleep for 5 hours. If you did not consciously remember anything merely write how you
are thinking and feeling in regards to your question the same as you did in exercise 1.
