“Heads Up”, Says Giraffe

I know that an animal wants to talk to me and give me a message when a picture pops up of it, over and over.  This has been happening with Giraffe.  I will open a magazine, and there will be a picture of a Giraffe.  Or, I will open an email slideshow, and the first or second picture will be a giraffe.

I finally slowed down and asked Giraffe what it wanted to tell me.  She asked me to close my eyes, and imagine that I was in Africa.  She then asked me to open my eyes and see the scrubby bushes and grasses that give lions and cheetahs something to hide behind.  

Then she said,

“Life is a lot like the scrubby bushes that cover the savannahs in my world.  We often get so used to seeing the bumps and the valleys, that we soon ignore them.  In the beginning, we do watch them so that we don’t trip or stumble.  We make sure that we are not taken by surprise by predators.  

Then suddenly, we seem to forget about these parts of the environment.  We look beyond them, and forget that at some point, we must deal with them.  They are like the details in life that we must take care of – car payments, mortgages, food, shelter – details that are taken for granted, and therefore not treated with the attention, and perhaps respect that they require.  Soon they catch up with us.

Giraffes know that at all times, especially with the young about, that we must keep our heads up.  We must look beyond the immediate, to the distance to see what is coming.  You, too, need to do that!”

I have been paying attention to what is around me and ahead of me.

Don’t Hide Away!

So many people have been talking to me about all the pressure that they are feeling in their head and in their bodies. It feels flu-like, and is not the flu.  They do not want to be out and about, they simply want to be at home, often in bed, because they are so very tired.

The Angels say that this is a common reaction to the pressure that the Earth is feeling as the plates shift.  What the Earth feels, we can often mirror if we feel connected to the Earth.  When we want to hide away, The Angels tell us to call them in and ask them to take away the pressured feeling, and the headaches, if that is what we feel.  The Angels are more than happy to stand between us and the energies that are body finds to difficult to assimilate.  

You can sit in meditation and ask the Archangels or Guardian Angels to keep your space protected, and then to come into the space and shift the pressure to a level that does not affect your body.  This may not work the first couple of times that you try it.  So, you need to persist, and to do this meditation several times.

Blessings,

Judy

We Must Be Silent To Hear

“We must be silent before we can listen.
We must listen before we can learn.
We must learn before we can prepare.
We must prepare before we can serve.
We must serve before we can lead.”

- William Arthur Ward

Some days, I wonder about everything!  And, when I have great questions that seem too big for me to answer, I sit in meditation, and I ask Great Spirit, my Angels, my Guides, and any Ascended Masters that might want to help me out, if they will come in and speak with me.

What I have learned is that for me to hear any answers, I must be patient, and I must be very quiet and silent.  Therefore, when I saw the quote above, it resonated deeply through my heart as a great truth.  When we need to be in silence, we must close our mouths and our ego, so we can truly hear all that is around us.  We “see” more clearly when we are silent because we do not lay our critique of what is being said over the other’s words.

I acknowledge the wisdom of the relationship between learning, preparing, serving, and then leading.  This is a natural progression.  It is what Nature shows us.

Words Are - Joy and Openness

This is a time to let go of fear and feel the joy that permeates the world.  The JOY energy is driving the darker energies ahead of it, and therefore, you who are sensitive to these energies, feel the dark and resist.  The dark energies then have a place to anchor and hide from JOY.

Be OPEN to all that is around you.  Feel the goodness that is ever apparent everyday.  Feel the pull of doing what is right.

Let your reservations about life be released.  Hanging on is not going to help the process of change.  Let go!  Feel the oceans of oneness and joy that will move through your home, career, and leisure.  Feel a moment of Zen, where nothing matters.  Your Soul will guide you!

Many blessings,

Judy

What Do YOU Believe?

  

A myth is a religion in which no one any longer believes.  James Feibleman

I was contemplating the mystery of faith in my meditation, and did not reach any conclusions.  Then, I saw this quote, and it was like a telescope coming into focus for me.  The reason that we are going through such interesting times are that we are in the process of creating a new myth – Christianity At Work; Judaism at work; Muslim at work, etc. – and that while many people are done with all of these, and are ready to move on, enough people are still trying to make them real that the myth is still  being created.  The Greeks must have felt like this when the people were still hanging on to the Oracle of Delphi.

Many blessings,

Blue Monkey, A Spirit Animal

Blue Monkey picture is from Wikipedia.

Blue Monkey came into my meditation this morning, to introduce herself. 

I asked her why she had dropped by.  She said that humans needed to pay attention to what is happening to the Blue Monkey species.  Their habitat is shifting due to weather and to man made environment changes.  Their range is shrinking in some areas and expanding in other areas.  It is causing the Blue Monkey to shift locals and to learn new ways of being in different environments.  Blue Monkey has had to learn to adapt to new foods, and to doing more work for their food.  They have less play time than before.  Part of their socialization comes from play, and learning what the boundaries are for one another.  She said that she thought I would want to know.  I thanked her, and away she went.

I knew nothing about Blue Monkeys, so looked them up.  They roam in central and Eastern Africa.  They are tree top dwellers who prefer moist, water rich areas to live.  Their primary food is fruit and leaves.  They like pine trees and bamboo trees. (from Wikipedia).

Dealing With Another’s Anger

I have been writing in my journal for many years.  I often like to look back at what I have written to see what memories the writing sparks in me.  Sometimes, the writing is a story.  The article below comes from my last job in software and IT.

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

Over the last couple of days, I have had to deal with other people’s anger – toward something else, at their partner, or towards me.  

In the cases of anger towards me, the individuals were telling me that I was impatient, and that they were reflecting or mirroring my anger towards them.  I thought that was interesting.  I had no feelings towards them.  I was simply doing the job and giving instructions for how something needed to be done.  In working with software, to change something, all steps must be precise and in order.  when I pointed out that they were not following the steps in order, one individual was angry that I was criticizing him.  

I asked my angels what was going on.  My angels replied that the individuals had created their own reality of the situation.  When I did my stuff that needed to be done, the reality changed for them, and that made them angrier because the people did not feel in control of the situation.  While I had not taken control, I had changed the dynamics of the energy.  The individuals took their self loathing out on me.

The angels went on to say that the anger is borne out of fear, and that the fear is very unique to each person so it is often not possible to guess what fear is inciting the anger.  The angels were chuckling about the use of the phrase “mirroring”.  They said that there has been so much taught and written about mirroring in the “new age” communities that people are using the mirroring as an excuse to distance themselves from their own emotions.  By saying that it is the other person’s fault that they are angry, the individuals are abdicating responsibility for their emotions.   And, the angels said, there are a lot of angry people in the world right now.  And many are blaming others for their anger. 

I asked what I could do.  The first thing, said the angels, is not to take it on – the anger, that is.  Angry people want everyone to be angry, and they want the drama from the situation.  The angels advised me to be calm, and to work through what I needed to get done.  If it is impossible to get the work done, then the advice was to leave the situation for the time being, and come back to it at a later time.  

The hard part of this situation of anger is wanting to react with anger.  The easiest way for me to handle this was simply to back out of the situation because they had invited me in, and, it seemed that they were not ready for me.

Have you had situations like this?  What have you done?
