How To Be Your Own Person

 

I am not in this world to live up to other people's expectations, nor do I feel that the world must live up to mine.  Fritz Perls

The wonderful message that came through this morning is “spend time each day by yourself.  If you can, find time to meditate.  It will make you happy.  It will dim all that happens around you.  Each thing that happens around you is about your reality, and the reality that other people create.  It is not real because they – and you – have made it up.  The tree does not need to create multiple realities.  Be like the tree, or other plants.  Be your self.”

The message brought tears to my eyes.  One has heard this type of message all our lives.  How do we do this?  How do we live outside the influence of others?  I posed this question.  My Angels dived in with laughter and love.  

“Let go of guilt.  Guilt is a form of manipulation.  People – parents, siblings, friends, guilt you when they want to control your behaviour.  Guilt is a form of control.  You let go of your power when you feel guilt.  To let go of guilt, go to your Spirit, and to your Soul, and to your heart, and look at what makes you happy.  If it makes you happy NOT to do something, then be happy!  If it makes others unhappy, then it is their problem, and not yours.”

This is good advice, and I will begin the practice today.  Will you?

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
