Wishing you all the best most magical 2021(this is my first post this year)
I made this piece in a printmaking class in grad school 20 years ago. Protecting animals (from humans especially) always has been and continues to be my primary mission. Animals have been anchoring the light on earth along with plants and it is time we honor them and place their needs above our own conveniences. I saw this as a mother cat entrusting a human with the care of her child. As a mother of cats I take this responsibility most seriously. I am honored to love, care for and protect my feline children. And to try my best to make them happy and offer what they need. I’m fully aware and grateful for the beauty, grace and pure divine unconditional love they offer freely. All animals. Companions, wild, “farm,” feral, swimming, flying, crawling, slithering, galloping. The human collective is going through a lot of changes I know - but my message is that regardless of what’s happening- the animals still come first for me always - and I wish to thank all of you who also honor and love animals in this manner. Thank you from me and on their behalf. I had a big moment last week. Some of you may have heard me speak of how I gently escort larger insects like cockroaches outside with a system of a lightweight Tupperware bowl and sliding a thin cardboard underneath.
Even though I regularly carry spiders, slugs and other sweet creatures on my hand - there had been a bit of resistance to directly touchingcockroaches. I could feel love for them & of course never would wish to harm one. But holding was another matter because of the programming we as humans receive regarding them.The myth is that they are dirty somehow - lesser than something more cute like ladybugs. So.... last week I was feeling very brave and when I saw one I simply put my hand down (sending a tiny bit of reiki) and he/she climbed into my palm and stayed as I walked him/her outside.I was blown away by the level of trust given to me. It feels like evolution - shedding a little bit more programming. After that initial time - it now feels natural and my gratitude for this I think shows in the photo My son Merlin inspecting my altar space after I cleaned it recently in anticipation of the lionsgate energies. It never ceases to impress me how incredibly aware he and his sister are of energy.Feline magictime. We can all embrace the cat qualities we possess (or wish we did.)
Lay in the sun and allow every muscle to relax Imagine what would make your heart purr with joy Roar like a lioness or lion when necessary Remember that like cats we are multidimensional beings and we can learn to perceive energy too and travel across galaxies in dream state. Be pure love. ![]() Beautiful girl by the pool. Had the sweetest experience yesterday 8.8 when a frog jumped in the water with us and then after sending him reiki for a few minutes I was concerned he might get too relaxed and drown so I put my hand near him. He gradually made his way closer then hopped right unto my palm. After we connected for a moment and he had soaked in all the reiki he wanted he just jumped back out. Magic. Extreme cozy-ness. perfect. one of the gifts my kids offer. Merlin is pretty much keeping my spot warm so I can sit with him on my lap while dappled sunshine plays across our skin and fur. There are these perfect moments that occur every so often - we all have them - even if it’s just a few seconds of glimpsing the most awe inspiring sunset we’ve ever seen. Ones that stick in our memories forever.
One of those for me was when my first sons Juneau & Jarvis were kittens and we lived in Tucson, AZ. This one lazy Sunday afternoon - I was on the bed, reading the perfect (for me) book and listening to my kids’ alternating purrs and dream sounds. It was one of those moments where everything became heightened. I looked around me - seeing through my own eyes - as me- but also more than the me that is physical - I memorised each sparkly bright patch of sunlight, the ocotillo waving in front of the window, the sounds, their fur moving gently with each breath. These moments are the magic. The gold - the "in-between" slices of perfection that just happen without planning for them- they simply unfold. And I believe they create new pathways in our brains & energy fields - which allow us to better recognize the next time it happens. So now- when I experience them with Merlin & Gracie - I automatically am also able instantly to emotionally connect to that Tucson afternoon with my feline sons (who are in spirit now Recently I was sitting outside and this pretty greenish gold shimmery iridescent fly came for an extended visit with me. Stayed on my arm for a while - then climbed up my sleeve to my shoulder (second pic) and all the while I was feeling waves of love from their heart.
More love than we would imagine such a tiny being could contain! She/he was actively sending love. Then yesterday on our walk my husband noticed a (different) fly hanging out on my head for a long portion of the walk.I bet my crown chakra got some love too! I visited this sweet boy for the past week and offered him reiki. One of the things a lot of animal companions are sharing lately is a deep need for undivided attention. As humans are (understandably) distracted by everything going on in the world - we may be sitting with them, scratching behind their ears, but texting /social media-ing, or watching something at the same time. This is ok - but to really allow ourselves to be fully present - gaze into their eyes- their hearts - even just a few minutes at a time is magic. And it enables us to feel how they are showing up for us with that level of presence all the time. When we receive this with an open heart- it’s such a gift. To us and to them
Some days at sea - soul charging. The most adorable small fish (they were like silvery clear with yellow (not sure of their name) snuggled my toes and feet non stop. It was amazing I would (carefully) move or get carried by a big wave and they instantly came back - probably like 12-15 at a time. I asked them to touch my hand and one did. Like a tiny nose kiss. I gave them reiki and thanked them for clearing my feet (our energy sometimes pools by our feet and it’s why it’s so important to release/clear /salt soaks etc.) At the same time tiny green fish swirled around me. So much gratitude for these sweet beings who responded to my energy and created a space of complete in-the-moment joy for me during our connection. Fish friends want to help us and when we connect with them in gratitude and joy we allow.
#thereisnospecieshierarchy #fishfriends #sea #mermaid #starseed I was sending reiki energy healing to a dear client who I work with regularly - she feels like a friend now since we chat often. She is a beautiful dog who lives in NYC and turning 14 next week. We are both Geminis.
Yesterday out of the blue as I was connecting with her and sending reiki she asked me to pull a tarot card for her! This was a first for me - no one has asked me to before - but it was really fun! And she got a lovely card. I love how the animals themselves always lead the way. It would not have occurred to me to offer that but since she asked now I’m thinking this could be fun to include sometimes. It feels like a good time to try new things and include our companions in activities we enjoy for ourselves- like tarot /oracle cards. Happy Mother’s Day to all mothers 💖
