Facebook reminder!

Before I completely forget, I am still running my Facebook page over this break and often write more readings or posts over there to check it out! I will try and get a new post up early January. 

Many festive blessings

Possum Dreaming

I have a little possum living in a bird house in my backyard so I thought it apt to share their unique spiritual insights.

The cute little Australian Possums featured in the photo above heralds a time of opportunity and foundation building. These little guys are nocturnal and therefore only come out when its dark. They are notorious opportunists (taking your veggies etc) and will often change homes in order to find better food and comfort. Once comfy though they may never want to leave. On the one hand Possum tells us to take notice of opportunities that are arising at this time. Particularly as the world is shifting and energetic cycles are beginning to change, Possum is a good guide and indication that it is time to take any new and exciting pathways that are revealed or opened up for you. It's not a time to sit back and be complacent when something new is brought to your attention. Possum can also refer to someone that is draining or unnecessarily leaching off you in some way. It's a good indication to make your voice heard and establish stronger guidelines in the friend/relationship or even discard it all together. Now is not the time to hold onto relationships or friendships for the sake of others, it is really important to do what is right for you because that may just assist that person onto their path. Sometimes being the 'bad' person at first - no matter whether they ever realise it - will inevitably help them in the long run.

Whilst it is important to listen to all the signs around us - all the naturally occurring elements and take notice that energies and shifts are occurring, it is equally important to realise that Spirit, Mother Earth, God, Buddha or any higher figure are working on these shifts regardless of whether we acknowledge them. I dislike people instilling fear so don't fear changes or difference, they can not spiritually harm you if you know who you are and trust in inherent good (this is hard when so many horrible things happen). It's really important that as Human Beings that reside on the physical Earth, that we ALWAYS keep grounded (through physical activity - dancing, yogo, pilates, gym work), centred (mediation, relaxation) and within our own individual heart space (love yourself and others - accepting that we can change our own perceptions and thought processes but not that of others). The (initially) hardest and then easiest way to live a more balanced and happy life is to simply understand that things are the way they are for a reason and being angry, hurt or upset feels good in the beginning but only hurts yourself in the end. The closest we can come to changing negative thought processes in others, is to simply listen and lead/share through our own actions. Be gentle on yourself and others when it hurts most, we usually lash out in fear, pain and ironically love. Try these little tips and see how much more you can act and speak from the heart.

"Smile inwardly and you will shine outwardly."

Many blessings everyone for the festive season,
