Curiosity #2

It’s not very often that there is not something in my life that is busy trying to turn everything upside down, and the last few days are no exception.  We’ve all experienced times where things seem to keep on happening over and over again, causing issues and dramas, and we wonder why we are forever having to put up with this stuff.

These repeating circles of life that come around happen so that you have the opportunity to have another good look at whatever it is and make changes that will help you progress and grow.  It may appear in a form that you recognise: think of people who always seem to pick partners that are not good for them, and then can’t work out why they can’t find a partner who uplifts them and makes them feel whole.  In my case many of these cycles have involved finance or major illness or injury.  Right now, all the arrows are pointing towards something happening that may be of the same magnitude of what I term as my Initial Awakening Experience.  I can feel the layers building.

When that experience happened I had very little idea about the everyday world and certainly no idea about the energetic world, and so whilst the event wasn’t physically traumatic in a long-term way, it was incredibly confusing.  And it totally changed my life.   As I look back, I can see that these major events happen roughly every 4-6 years, with the last event being six years ago when I fell of a sea wall and trashed my left leg.  That, as you can imagine, was definitely life changing. 

This repeating cycle gives you the opportunity to learn and grow and may even show up in areas where you hold a karmic imbalance.  Before you can resolve these situations, you first need to recognise the repeating pattern of things that happen in your life which cause issues.  Then, once recognised, you need to learn to understand the pattern and why it happens.  Only then can you start to learn how to interact differently so that the outcome is different.  It can be a life-long journey, or you may be able to resolve it in only a few cycles. 

This time, I carry much more awareness of the energies at play and can see the subtle messages that help to prepare me, and many of those messages are carried on the wings of our feathered friends.

If you have been following my blog on Animal Medicine, you will be aware that the animals in our world are often ancient wisdom keepers.  We can find much knowledge by simply observing when an animal appears in our life and then studying what the messages they bring could mean.

Two birds have brought me very important messages in the past few days which have helped to underscore other information that is pointing me towards the upcoming opportunity to work within, and better understand, this energy, and then assist me in moving forward on my life journey.  One of these birds has been a very frequent visitor over the last two weeks and is one that appears in my book Animal Power.  We all know that Owl is considered a wise being, but many times we forget just how powerful he can be. 

The other bird appeared in an Oracle reading I was giving to myself for guidance, and when I studied this beautiful small bird, I knew without any doubt that I had an Animal Ally to assist me through the upcoming months.  This bird is Finch.

I invite you to sit down and have a look at the things in your life that are difficult and see if you can see a pattern.  Look at how frequently they occur – is there a clear cycle?  Look, not at the surface story, but seek deeper to see what the underlying pattern is showing you.  As an example, think of that person who always seems to chose unsupportive partners.  Could it be that they make this choice, because that is how their father was – it’s what they know?  It can appear more comfortable being with what you know – even if it hursts – than stepping into unknown territory in the hope of finding better.

I know that for me, my very volatile emotions are going to be tested. Every one of these cycles-of-life events have involved deep emotions that I have bottled up and not allowed to be fully set free. I suspect that there is likely to be one humdinger of an autistic melt-down… unless I recognise the situation – the pattern – for what it is, and am able to dig deep into my inner self and find that strength and courage that I now know is hidden within me. It’s time to stand in my power, learn from whatever the experience will be, and use the things I have learned over the past 10 years to guide me through to a brighter future.
