Animal Totem: TRANSFORMATION
| Posted on March 13, 2015 at 8:00 PM |
 This Animal totem arrived with it's transformation qualities to bring upon us an important message of healing. Change is inevitable in life. We all transition in our ideas, intuitions, we grow and transform as we continue to evolve.It is when you resist change or when you refuse to let go. When you wish to control those around your and your surroundings that you reach difficulties. ALLOW the wind to take you in flight, like the soft, soft whisper of a butterfly. (Below taken from the book Animal-Speak by Ted Andrews) TRANSMUTATION AND THE DANCE OF JOY: Probably no animal or insect has come to represent the process of transformation and shape-shifting more than that of a butterfly. For those with this totem, the process of metamorphosis should be studied closely. When the butterfly shows up, make note of the most important issues confronting you at the moment. This is probably why the butterfly has shown up. What stage of change are you at in regard to them? All begin as eggs, eggs hatch into caterpillars, which feed and spin cocoons. From the cocoon its the final expression of a butterfly's life cycle, usually with wings. To determine you have to reflect on your self. what do you wish the outcome to be, and how best to accomplish it? The butterfly is a powerful symbol to many cultures. For the Native Americans, the butterfly is a symbol of change, joy, and color. The color of the butterfly should be examined for it's significance to help you understand it's role within your life. Butterfly guides remind us not to take things quite seriously. within our lives. They awaken the sense of lightness and joy. They remind us that life is a dance, and dance though powerful, is also a great pleasure. Butterflies can be reminders to get up and move, for if you can move you can dance. Dance brings a sweetness of life back. This is further exemplified by the fact that butterflies actually have taste receptacles on their front legs. they taste flowers by walking upon them. Butterflies bring color and joy with them. When butterflies come into your life look at how much or little joy is within your life. Lighten up. Look for change. Don't forget ALL change is good. Butterfly medicine reminds us to make changes when the opportunities present themselves. Transformation is inevitable, but butterfly will help teach you that growth and change does not have to be traumatic. It will teach you that it can occur as gently, as sweetly, and as joyfully as we wish. In this dream medicine communication the Butterfly was white and blue: White is associated with light, goodness, innocence, purity. It is considered to be the color of perfection. White means safety, purity, and cleanliness. White can represent a successful beginning. In heraldry, white depicts faith and purity. Blue is the color of the sky and sea. It is often associated with depth and stability. It symbolizes trust, loyalty, wisdom, confidence, intelligence, faith, truth, and heaven. Blue is considered beneficial to the mind and body. It slows human metabolism and produces a calming effect. Blue is strongly associated with tranquility and calmness. In heraldry, blue is used to symbolize piety and sincerity. Light blue is associated with health, healing, tranquility, understanding, and softness. The other aspects of the medicine dream communication shared was of choosing the path. One may seem dark and uncertain. Because you will need to step away from your comfort numbness in order to surface and shine. But out of the obstacles you shall grow, stronger and wiser and find your inner self. While the other path may seem safe and appear to be the better choice b/c it isn't challenging you to face yours fears. You may take it as well, it could be the longer path, because at some point you will need to circle back into transformation out of the fears you hide. Again you are the one who decides your journey. You need to ask your inner wisdom, am I ready at this precise moment to face my fears? To release past karmic challenges? Can I forgive and let go? If you are consumed by fear of those questions. You may not be quite ready yet to face them. Instead focus your inner wisdom to healing your confidence. Say a prayer communication and ask Archangel Michael to help you bring down the barriers that keep you imprisoned in fear. Ask Archangel Rafael to help you heal your broken heart. Focus on healing your physical body by exercising, eating fresh foods. I am told that those who are nodding yes to this, should also wear rose quartz. Communicate with your rose quartz, asked him/her to help you heal, to build your self confidence and trust your powerful soul. The medicine dream is also asking us ALL to Express yourself with purity, and integrity and connect your body, mind and soul. As far as communication with your peers, family, friends. Are you being asked to step up and be assertive? To continue your growth there will be times when you'll need to express yourself lovingly, but with a warrior spirit. Perhaps for you, specifically, you are being asked to let it go? It may be a greater inner battle won to gracefully, and genuinely step back. And truthfully see and understand the others point of view as well. If YOUR inner guidance is asking you to stept back, be humble, and listen instead of talking Listen to you butterfly totem, transform into the stage that is necessary for your own personal soul growth. Dance, yes, dance out loud! Dance when you feel it inside your heart. Even if you are in a public place! ...I dare you to allow your inner butterfly to whisper loving change for those around you. Don't forget to ground yourself as well. Roll around the grass and feel the connection to the roots of the earth. Full moons are perfect for those who are sensitive to connect with earth we chose. And to the universe we belong from. I invite you, the next full moon. You'll most likely be up anyway. Go outside, bare footed and have a moonlight bath. (dress appropriately for your weather). You can stand sit, but keeping your soles to the earth. Visualize and process the Universal light from the moon passing through your body, cleansing your chakras and moving down to your soles and roots to the earth. Remember we are all Oneness in love, light and Inspiration! Wishing you a wonderful Spring! Let's go out there and dance in the butterfly medicine! Love, Light and Inspiration. -Sandy Fabiola- @ Harmonious Expression where A powerful Awakening awaits.  |
