Wasp Spirit Guide

December 16th, 2017 | Posted by Velda in ANIMAL SPIRIT GUIDES

Wasp Spirit GuideI would never thought to share about the Wasp Spirit Guide.  I am not frightened of wasps but  have a great respect for their aggressive temperament.  Bees on the other hand are gentle and only sting when protecting themselves.  Several days ago while curled up reading a book,  there was  a buzzing.  I thought possibly a piece of paper might be resting on the heat vent, but no, suddenly a wasp appeared.  Startled, I asked “where did you come from and why now?”  With a plastic container, I rescued him from possible demise at the hands of other members of the family and placed him in a bush near the house.  Perhaps some of the Wasp Spirit Guide messages covered by Steven D. Farmer, PH.D. in his book Animal Spirit Guides might speak to you as they did to me.

Wasp Spirit Guide

If WASP shows up, it means:

1.  Whatever task is before you, jump in and go for it with enthusiasm and determination.  Lead with heart not mind.

2.  The next few weeks, focus on fulfilling your responsibilities and personal obligations.

3.  Then break out of your routine and do something adventurous. Whatever you’ve dreamed of doing, put some plans into action to realize them.

Wasp Spirit Guide

Call on WASP when:

1.  When going through tangled emotions/mood swings and want to stay centered as possible while going through this time.

2.  You are in a rut and want to break out of it.  You feel the need for emotional and physical nourishment.

3.  You’ve been wishing and dreaming about something and now want to work toward its manifestation

Wasp Spirit Guide

If WASP is your POWER ANIMAL:

1.  You like  to do things your way and you alternate between being independent, private, and irritable to being sociable, personable and enjoying others.  This can make for some challenges in a relationship.

2.  As you ages, you’ll receive more recognition for being an innovator of new trends and ideas

3.  You are a hard worker and willing to do what it takes to get the job done.  Late summer and early fall are the seasons when you are the most active and dynamic.

 FYI, these hints remind us to be cautious around wasps.

Alligator – Animal Spirit Guide

August 16th, 2017 | Posted by Velda in ANIMAL SPIRIT GUIDES

Alligator - Animal Spirit Guide

When walking in nature, I have an active imagination and often see shapes in trees that looks like an animal or a dancing ballerina or maybe even the head of an alligator.  The Alligator has inhabited earth for millions of years and are known as the keepers of ancient wisdom in many myths and legends.  When one of these creatures enters your life, look for an opportunity to touch very primal energies.  This spirit animal guide contains all the unbridled creative forces of the world and the fury and ferocity of Primal Energies. It is the keeper and protector of all knowledge.  Steven D. Farmer, PH.D. shares the following in his book, Animal Spirit Guides:

Alligator - Animal Spirit GuideIf ALLIGATOR shows up, it means:

Take your time to digest what you’re learning.

This is a time for renewal and new beginnings.

You need to be very protective of your personal territory and assertive about setting boundaries.

Gather all the facts and look at the situation from all sides before passing judgment, making any decisions, or taking action.

It is an important time to honor your ancestors.Alligator - Animal Spirit Guide

Call On ALLIGATOR when:

Someone has confided something very personal to you, and you need to keep it hidden and secret.

You are clearly at the end of one cycle or phase of your life and moving into a new era.

You’ve transgressed your own ethical guidelines, and in doing so have hurt someone else and sincerely want to may amends.

You are feeling drawn to a study of ancient wisdom and knowledge, but are not sure where to begin.

 

If ALLIGATOR is your POWER ANIMAL:

You seem a bit cold to others upon a first meeting, yet given enough time, you can warm up to them.

You keep to yourself most of the time, but  when you do reveal yourself, others feel your strong presence.

You move rather slowly and deliberately until someone invades your personal space.

You’re quite shy and a bit of a loner, and when you’re in social situations you go unnoticed.

You assess any troubling situation, taking action when you have all the necessary information.

When you act, you do so swiftly and without hesitation or equivocation.

March 24th, 2017 | Posted by Velda in AFFIRMATIONS | ANIMAL SPIRIT GUIDES

Wolf Animal Spirit Guide

To American Indians, the wolf is said to be “teacher medicine”.   Wolf  has much to teach us, if only we will listen.  Wolf spirit teaches us to have balance between our personal needs and those of the family and community.  They are committed and loyal to the pack and find their place within the group.   The following information can be found in my favorite reference book, Animal Spirit Guides, by Steven D. Farmer, Ph.D.

Wolf Animal Spirit Guide

If  WOLF shows up, it means:

•  Valuable insights, ideas, and new teachings are coming your way so pay close attention.

•  Make cooperation a priority over competition.

•  Maintain your self-esteem, integrity and deeply trust your inner knowing.

Call on WOLF when:

•  You’re confused about your life path and purpose.

•  You have been feeling a little too civilized and want to tap in to the wild and instinctual.

•  You are a natural-born teacher, imparting knowledge based on experience.

•  You are expressive verbally and can tell a story with a great deal of passion, and animation.

•  You would rather avoid confrontation, but will fiercely defend yourself and loved ones when necessary.

WOLF Dream Visits (not found in Dr. Farmer’s Book) 

•  To see a white wolf in your dream signifies valor and victory. You have the ability to see the light even in your darkest hours.

•  To see a black wolf in your dream represents your shadow. There are characteristics of the wolf that you are refusing to acknowledge or incorporate into your Self.

•  To hear a wolf howling in your dream represents a cry for help from somebody in your waking life.Wolf Animal Spirit Guide

Rat Animal Spirit Guide

January 18th, 2017 | Posted by Velda in ANIMAL SPIRIT GUIDES

Rat Animal Spirit Guide

I am dedicating this blog to a dear friend after having a conversation about how many of us have negative feelings about rats.  (I promise only photos of pet rats will be featured in today’s blog).  Lets look at the positive symbolic meanings of the Rat Animal Spirit Guide.   Chinese see the rat as a symbol of industry, and in fact is one of the animals on the Chinese Zodiac.  If Rat has scurried across your path you are being asked to assert yourself in new areas that you have not yet explored.

Rat Animal Spirit GuideThe following is information on the Rat found in Steven D. Farmer, PhD’s book, Animal Spirit Guides:

If RAT show up, it means:

•  A project or investment is about to pay off.  You Have plenty available to you at all times in spite of any thoughts or fears that this isn’t so.

•  This is a good time to exercise caution, and to the best of your ability anticipate what lies ahead.

•  Take an inventory of the material goods you have and recycle or throw out what is no longer purposeful.

Call on RAT when: Rat Animal Spirit Guide

•  You’re involved with a venture that you want to succeed at, yet you are feeling some uncertainty about this happening.

•  You are feeling insecure about having enough supplies, making you want to acquire more and more even though you realistically don’t need that much.  However, you have decided to do some major housecleaning and get rid of unnecessary baggage.

•  You are involved in dealing with someone who is very sharp and want to protect yourself by being just as clever and shrewd.

Rat Animal Spirit GuideIf RAT is your POWER ANIMAL:

•  You tend to hoard your belongings because they help you feel more secure.

•  You adapt very well to your surroundings and your environment.  You are easy going and happy.

•  You are a social animal as well as disarmingly honest and frank.

Animal Spirit Guide – Andean Condor

June 9th, 2016 | Posted by Velda in AFFIRMATIONS | ANIMAL SPIRIT GUIDES

Animal Spirit Guide - Andean Condor

I grew up hearing  my dad point out vultures flying above as we drove through the desert area.  As a young girl, I  wasn’t drawn to the word ‘Vulture’.  In  A Shaman’s Miraculous Tools For Healing,  by Alberto Villoldo, PhD with Anne O’Neill,  he shares that the  Andean Condor (Vulture), associated with the east, is the symbolic animal of Andean shamans.  The condor is seen as the protector of the wisdom of the high mountains.  The Andean Condor is the national symbol of Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru.  It also is the national bird of Bolivia, Chile, Colombia and Ecuador.  This encouraged me to study more about the Andean Condor which is the largest flying bird with a wingspan that can reach 12 feet and the California Condor that can reach 9 feet.  Condors are considered sacred animals by many Native American cultures, particularly California Indian tribes and the Andean tribes of South America.

Animal Spirit Guide - Andean CondorIf CONDOR shows up, it means:

•  In the east you find the Condor who stands for vision. The energies of a Condor help you to find a clarity vision in your life.

•  When you pray,  it is the Condor who takes your prayers up to the spiritual world and comes back with the answers for you.

•  With the eyes of a Condor you see with your heart and with the wings of a Condor you see life in a bigger perspective.

•  You’ll find a renewed sense of vigor, vitality, and enthusiasm about life.  In the morning, take a few moments to greet the sun by standing with your arms out in a welcoming gesture.

•  This is a good time to retreat, and enter into a period of solitude and meditation.

Animal Spirit Guide - Andean Condor

 Call on CONDOR when:

•  You’re in a midst of a crisis, one that requires you to remain calm and adjust your thinking to accept the situation as it is before moving on to a  solution.

•  You’ve lost someone in your life through death and want to contact their spirit on the other side.

•  You see yourself as having disadvantages and want to reframe your perceptions and beliefs to see them as assets.

•  You feel as if you’re in a mess emotionally, physically, or spiritually, and you want to clean things up.

If CONDOR is your POWER ANIMAL:

Animal Spirit Guide - Andean Condor•  You have the unique ability to make the best of a bad situation and find the rewards that result.

•  You are a somber and serious individual most of the time.

•  You are willing to take on distasteful tasks that others are unwilling to do.

•  You have the gift of mediumship, whether you’ve developed it or not, and can communicate with deceased loved ones and ancestors.

•  Because of your unusual appearance and your metaphysical gifts, others don’t understand you and may irrationally fear you, so they tend to keep their distance.

Animal Spirit Guide-Camel

February 13th, 2015 | Posted by Velda in AFFIRMATIONS | ANIMAL SPIRIT GUIDES

Animal Spirit Guite - Camel

HAVE YOU EVER BEEN VISITED BY EITHER OF THESE CAMEL SPIRIT GUIDES?

Dromedary is the name for one-hump camels. This type of camel is common to Africa and the Middle East.  Bactrian camels are native to the Gobi Desert in Mongolia, and aside from the obvious difference of the number of humps, are much more mild-mannered than their hot-tempered dromedary kin.  

Today I was drawn to the Camel Animal Spirit and wanted to share from, Animal Spirit Guides, by Steven D. Farmer, Ph.D. the following:

If CAMEL shows up, it means: 1. It’s time to trust your own intuition for guidance. 2. You have more energy and durability for the task ahead than you think you do.  3. The road ahead may be difficult because you won’t have support from everyone.  However, you must take it with complete trust that you have everything you need within you to succeed with your endeavors.

Call on CAMEL when: 1. When you need to replenish your energy and nourish yourself.  2.  You are about to embark on a new adventure, a literal or metaphorical journey that will take you into unknown territory where you want to feel stability in spite of the shifting sands around you.

If CAMEL is your POWER ANIMAL: 1.  You’re remarkably adaptable, with considerable inner strength.  2.  Although you can be unpredictable, you’re generally very patient and kind.  3.  You remain consistently positive amidst challenging times or experiences.
