I decided to do a Grounding Meditation with Shaman Drum meditation music. This usually gets me into a deep state. It turned into a Vision Quest to connect to animal spirits and the messages that they have for me ( and you.) These are the animals I encountered and their messages/ symbolism in the order that they appeared.
First, was the Lion.
Lions are symbols of courage. They encourage us to speak our truth and instill in us fearless confidence. I have from time to time visualized myself as a Lion shapeshifter. Lion is also my astrological symbol. I am a Leo.
Then came the Dolphin.
Dolphins represent harmony and balance. They are symbols of protection and resurrection. Everyone needs to approach life with humor and joy. Dolphins symbols are usually peaceful and gentle but with deep inner strength.
Then came the Otter.
Otter symbolizes playfulness, laughter and mischievousness as well as creativity, transformation, and psychic abilities.
Next came the Bobcat.
Bobcats symbolize self-reliance, perception, moxie, stealth, friskiness, beauty and affection.
Then came the Deer.
Deer symbolizes bringing more grace, beauty and gentleness in your life. It can also guide to be quick on our feet while navigating our path.
Finally, the Bee appeared.
Bee symbolizes hard work and dedication. It also signifies the importance of stopping by and sipping the sweet nectar of life.
Intuitive Notes from Me: Lion will provide for us courage and fearless confidence to speak my truth. Dolphins will provide for us harmony and balance. Otters remind us to be playful and find the humor in life. Bobcat will help us to be self reliant and to be perceptive, have moxie and stealth, be frisky and to find beauty and be affectionate. Deer will guide us to grace, beauty and gentleness in my life. Bees will assist us to work hard and be more productive but to also stop and drink from the sweet nectar of life.
That’s a great message for me and you. Thank you, Animal Realm and Great Spirit for being present today on my Vision Quest and Path.
