A Message From the Hawk One of the most common issues my clients have is that they think they're not getting answers to their prayers and requests for assistance or guidance from the spiritual realm. Here's what I tell them: You ARE getting the answers. You just don't recognize them as such. Spirit guides don't always talk to us using our inner voice. They use a multitude of means to get their message across to us, such as:
Recently I had a surprise visit from an animal messenger who gifted me with some profound wisdom. I was dinking around in the kitchen (probably not cooking because I hate to cook) when I heard a loud BANG!. I quickly looked up from whatever I was doing just in time to see a hawk "kiting" (seeming to fly backwards or hover in flight), shake its head as if to clear it, and then take off and quickly fly away. Since one of the ways to discern if an animal is a messenger is that it exhibits unusual behavior, I figured this must be an animal with a message from my spirit guides. After all, it's not usual for hawks to crash into my kitchen window. Giving it a bit of thought, I replayed what had happened. The hawk was most likely trying to catch one of the little birds at my bird feeders, which hang off one of the huge Cedar trees in my back yard. It was a bright sunny day and from outside the window reflected the woods. The hawk mistook the window for an escape route through what it thought was a forest of trees. The message? Actually, there were a couple of them. One message was to not be fooled by illusions. Although the reflection of the trees in the window looked real, it was an illusion. And one that could have been deadly to the hawk. He could have easily broken his neck when he flew into the glass. Luckily, he was only a bit dazed... and maybe somewhat embarrassed for his un-hawklike behavior. The other message was a warning about the danger of being greedy. The hawk likely thought he'd found a dazzling bird buffet when he spotted all the little birds at the feeders. Easy pickings for him. Greed got the best of him, however, and he dove into the flock of small birds without checking for any potential dangers. Timely messages, indeed, as I was at that time considering a business offer I'd received. Heeding the hawk's message about illusions, I did some deeper research and discovered some things that were not in alignment with my core life values. Even though turning down this opportunity meant that I might be turning down increased income, I chose against thoughts of greed and declined the offer. Recognizing and using the message from the hawk proved valuable in the end. Another opportunity soon came along which was much better in all ways. Had I taken the first offer I would have been unavailable for the greater one. Love, ps. My Magical Mystical Online Class, Part 2: Spiritual Communication, illustrates in great detail the many ways your spirit guides, angels, and Higher Self are trying to communicate with you. If you want to know the wisdom they've got for you, you might consider taking this class.
My Spirit Guides have once again nudged me (actually, kicked me in the butt was more like it) in a new direction. I'm transforming all the in-person classes I used to teach into online classes. Why am I doing this? When Spirit talks, I listen. And in doing so I discovered that there are many benefits for anyone who wants to learn more about spiritual and metaphysical things. One HUGE benefit is that you have the freedom of being able to take the classes when and where you want! Can't you just see yourself cozied up with your laptop or iPad on the sofa, the music of your choice playing in the background, your favorite tea or coffee close at hand... and you totally comfy in your sweats or jammies! Or maybe you're at the beach enjoying the sun, the view, and your online class! How can it get any better?!? Here's the first of these online classes in all their splendiforous glory:
Whew!. But wait... there's more! Stay tuned for some brand spankin' new classes I've recently been inspired to create. Essential Oil of the Month Elemi (Canarium luzonicum) is a member of the same botanical family as frankincense and myrrh. It has been used traditionally in Europe for skin care. Elemi is highly regarded for reducing fine lines and wrinkles, for skin support, and for soothing muscles after exercise. Its medical properties are antispasmodic, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antiseptic. The aroma of this oil is spicy, incense-like with a scent that is soft and somewhat balsamic. The fragrant effect is grounding and clears the mind, making it very conducive for meditation. It's a natural, healthy way to refresh the stale air in your house. Rather than spraying toxic chemicals around your home, add a few drops of Elemi to water in a spray bottle. You'll save money and have a healthier home, too! Additional suggestions of how to use it:
Young Living oil is steam distilled from the leaves and stems of 100% organic plants. Unlike other brands of essential oils, there are no chemicals used in the processing of the plants. Nor are there chemicals or other ingredients added to dilute or damage the natural healing properties of the oils. Order
