Rattlesnake Visits

Rattlesnake has been winding it’s way into my meditations over the last two weeks.  Rattlesnake is a very strong Spirit Guide.  She brings many gifts to increase your power and abilities.  Not only does she blend into her surroundings, she knows how to stay silent and to be still when danger is around.  Hawks, weasels, and other snakes are just some of the predators that love to include Rattlesnake in their diet.

I asked Rattlesnake about the gifts that she brings to working with a human.  She grinned.  She said that many humans reject working with her because they are frightened of her.  She is a tough teacher and guide.  Her gifts, she said, are:

• Agility and speed.  When Rattler shares these gifts with you, you will move more quickly than you could imagine. You will have a momentary awareness seconds ahead of time, about what the adversary will do, and you can counteract with Rattler’s speed.
• Power of the hunt.  Rattlesnake is a very good hunter, and the best hunter amongst the snake-kind.  She will help you find whatever it is you are looking for, whether it is food, information, or actual objects.   
• The ability to shed.  While this seems quite tame compared to her first two gifts, Rattler’s ability to shed her skin translates to you being able to shed all the things that do not serve you, and gives you the ability to shed ill health, injury, and other harm to your person.  Shedding is a powerful gift.

I thanked Rattler for coming in to see me.  She asked that if you are interested in talking to her, that you call her into your meditation, and that you chat.  Do not be surprised if she tests you.

Bucking Bronco’s Message

 

July and August are especially about rodeos and exhibitions across Alberta.  One of the more popular rodeo events is the bare back and saddle bronc riding.  I believe that this influence is why a spirit wild horse wandered into my meditation with thoughts to share.

**********************

Today is about freedom.  A bucking horse comes galloping and bucking across my meadow in my meditation.  Bronco has some thoughts to share.

• Freedom is about NOT being restrained. 
• Throw off anything that does not suit you. 
• If you want to go some place new, full steam ahead at a gallop. 
• Exercise is not just about walking – it is about running and jumping. 
• When your head is down, it is hard to put a rope around it. 
• There is always someone who wants to saddle you with something. 
• Don’t let anyone touch your ears! 
• If you let them, people will run you in circles.  
• When someone holds out a carrot, they definitely have a hidden agenda.

Blessings,

Judy

Dragonfly

Yesterday and today, I am noticing an abundance of dragonflies around the yard, and in the meadows in the park.  They are all colours.  

As I walked up the hill in the park the other day, three dragonflies flew before me, as though the climb signified a huge change in my life.   My walk was similar to dragonflies journey from egg to larvae to transformation as a dragonfly.  It moves up through the water in the different stages.

I wondered what Dragonfly was trying to tell me – that I will be getting my own set of double wings?  Or, that I will be flying high?  Both those ideas ring true.  Or, is Dragonfly trying to tell me that it is the journey that is the most fun?  My mind flashes with possibilities of light.  It feels like something big will happen.

It is hard to believe that some people think of Dragonfly as bad luck.  However, for some people, change is not good, and so bad luck is the label.  Change is not good or bad at the end of the day because it just is.  It is our response that attaches value to the situation.  

Maybe all the dragonflies are working to help me accept simply being in the moment of this day.  

Whatever the reason that Dragonfly has been showing up, I feel happier for seeing it, and I am grateful.

Blessings,
