 These beautiful beings 💕were in our carport yesterday. I looked into the yard trimmings bin and saw them sleeping. I believe they got stuck in there because they were near the bottom of it with no way to climb out. Since they were safe on a bed of pine straw and in the shade I decided to give them apple slices as a snack and let them out gently at dusk since they are nocturnal. I put the apples in very carefully so they would not be scared. They just looked at me with their soulful eyes and I have no words to convey the love I felt (&feel) for them. It’s part protectiveness-I wish I could protect them from the world- and just pure inexplicable love that makes my heart full. 💞At dusk I gave them some reiki to help them stay calm and super slowly placed the bin on its side. The one I think is the mom had a nervous smile but didn’t freeze which means she wasn’t terrified. I put some extra apple & water out and when we checked about an hour later they had moved out of it. ✨I really hope they stay in our garden - in addition to their gentle energy they also eat ticks and are incredibly beneficial to our ecosystem.
💖 Opossums are lovely and gentle and scare easily. If you encounter one please try to remember that they will always be more afraid of you and they may smile nervously but that doesn’t mean they are aggressive. It’s simply a fear response. They are pure love. 💖And I’ve always thought they are beautiful ✨even their smiles.✨  ✨meditation tip✨ Common wisdom generally advises to meditate in a room/ place alone where there won’t be any interruptions. I agree that minimizing interruptions is helpful but I also am hearing from more companion animals that they want to help their humans with practices such as meditation and energy work. ❤️ Personally I feel most calm and happy when my fur children are with me, which is conducive to being more grounded, and able to connect much more deeply during meditation and energy work. ❤️As I’ve mentioned before, they often actively assist me-but sometimes it is simply their presence, like one of them being on my lap or next to me during a guided visual meditation. I would not be as serene if the door was shut with them on the other side.
And yes, leaving the door open occasionally leads to them asking for something during the work, like to go out to the catio or a meal. And that’s totally ok- I just push an imaginary “pause” button and come back to it. I have found that they have a sense of when a certain important section of a meditation is happening and they wait until the energy shifts before calling me. I’ve seen them actually check first.✨ So if you typically close the door, maybe experiment with leaving it open, or having your animal companion(s) in the room with you for a meditation. If some companions are in spirit invite them to join too. 🌟Close your eyes and notice how you feel. How does their presence affect your emotional state, heart rate? Are they purring or making dreaming sounds or gazing at you? Are they physically close or somewhere else in the room? How are they reacting? Begin a simple meditation you’ve done before and compare how it feels to have them there.🌟Acknowledge their presence and thank them for helping, for being there for you. ❤️ Let me know!😸I would love to hear if any of you make this shift and how it goes. Or if you already do.✨This photo is Gracie Belle on my meditation chair. |
