THE MESSAGE
I asked the Universe what this message needed to be.
The answer:
‘We have fenced ourselves in’
Then I heard a bird call and the words:
‘I live in a world where there are no fences’
Then I saw a picture:
Of humans pulling down the fences, so once again they could walk freely.
This is exactly as The Message was given.

Animals live as an integral ‘part of’ their environment, but as humans we live,
in most situations, an increasingly un-natural existence. Our modern
culture has lost its connection with nature and our relationship towards all-things
in the natural world has become one which is mainly based on individual
gain, sometimes on a commercial scale. After all, everything filters upto an individual – even if that
individual is part of a group of individuals. We all have our own power. Our own
choices. We all wear our own moccasins and the footprints they make lead straight
to us, like an arrow – straight to the heart. Nature calls, trying to guide us home.
From the beginning of time Indigenous people have respected animals as
great guides and teachers. The Native American culture, in-particular, holds
love and respect for Mother Earth as well as all animals whom they refer to as
brothers and sisters. Their belief is that everything is an element of Great Spirit
and that the life force of Great Spirit travels through all-things. Their beautiful words
of wisdom throughout these pages clearly reflect this.
Animals, especially horses, have maintained a strong connection to nature despite years
of domestication. They provide us with friendship, support, loyalty, unconditional love
and are forever forgiving. It has been acknowledged how animals can also increase
the health and wellbeing of their human friend just by small acts such as walking,
brushing and stroking.
Shamans have observed over time that healing an animal can have the effect of
healing their human friend too. This is because animal problems can be caused
by what is known as mirroring their human partner. But when we consider mirroring
we have to ask what are they mirroring? The answer is disharmony; it is very
simple and does not need to be complicated.
Insights from our relationships with our animal friends can bring guidance for a
return to balance and harmony. A return home, to The Self. The Self being all that is.
The Shamanic Journey helps us to discover the very natural and powerful process of Healing through Relationship –
as One. |
