Thiis month's power animal is Turtle. Turtle shows us how to navigate the depths of the ocean. Water being symbolic for the emotions. Turtle connects us with one of the elements that gives life. Water courses through our bodies and makes up 70% of it's volume. Water is filled with minerals and oxygen. The Turtle's ability to stay beneath the surface for long periods of time, while conserving energy as it moves slowly through the blue depths, shows us how to navigate through our emotions. Taking our time and diving down to the depths only when we are ready and have purpose. It also shows us that we need to come up for air at the surface. This break allows us to see how far we have come and to bask in the gaze of the Sun's rays. The Sun anchoring our work in the present moment.
Nesting happens above ground on the sea shore shrouded in the night sky. The Moon and twinkling stars providing the Cosmic soup for the coming work and development. Moving to shore means the Turtle is vulnerable and is slow on the land. Being vulnerable at the right moments allows us to see our Divine essence, it also shows us that to grow means a certain vulnerability. The connection with Mother Earth, as the incubation master (for the eggs) until the cycle starts again. Metaphorically, this shows us that we are to rest on the land in the knowledge that Mother Earth will provide for the incubation of our transformed selves until we are ready to dive and see our inner world anew.
The baby turtles emerge from the depths of the sand using all their strength to reach the surface. Then they make their way to the depths of the ocean. This teaches us that courage, persistence and tenacity are qualities that will see us through the times of personal transition.
Cosmic Rays
lThe Moon and the Stars providing the Cosmic rays for evolution. The presence of the Moon and Stars represents our Cosmic connections - we are made of Stardust after all!
Turtles show us tenacity, determination, persistence and a slow, gentle flow.
Next time you need any of these qualities, ask Turtle to show you the way!
