Today I leave the ocean and my “working retreat” to head home. This week has turned out to be quite a journey of tapping into some deep stuff within and healing it. For the past few days, I’d wake up knowing what the next layer was to work on with the Angelic EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) that I do with clients. This morning was no different. I got to a very core level. It’s interesting that I came here to get clear on how I will be working with Lightworkers to help them break through the blocks and hidden fears about doing this work, sharing their gifts, and stepping out in a bigger way. Well, that triggered those issues in myself. (Of course they did!)
I wanted to take one last walk above the ocean before leaving this magical place. As I walked, my heart was feeling a little tender from the work I had done on myself. Looking out at the ocean, I called to the Dolphin that I had seen over the past number of days and asked them to fill me with their light and playful energy; to lighten the tenderness. A minute later, I spotted some dolphins. This time, they were swimming to the North, where every time I had seen them this week, they were swimming South. The message I got was that they/their energy was “going home with me” (my home is North of here). Ah, thank you, beautiful Dolphin! I saw another pod of about five soon after and they were also going that direction. Here is a photo I took, although you really have to look for the two fins They are about a third into the photo from the left and at about mid level of the photo. You can see how close to the shore they were when you notice where the dog is running along the edge of the water.
I was remembering while walking the path that a few days earlier I had seen a small, black snake lying across the path. Since this week there had been so many “visits” from animals, etc., and this had been brought to my attention again, I wondered what the spirit of Snake was trying to tell me. Thinking back on that day, I had walked right past the snake (luckily it was small so I didn’t freak out :-)). Something told me to go back and get a photo of her. When I snapped the photo, no photo showed up in the camera. “That’s weird”, I thought. And before I could try again, the snake skittered away under the bushes. What was occurring to me today about this is that Snake represents the Sacred Feminine to me. And what this was saying to me was that by the snake not wanting to be seen (her not allowing to be photographed and then hiding), it was letting me know that it’s time for me to not play small; to go ahead and let my powerful, wise, Sacred Feminine self come forward and be seen in a bigger way. Wow. Thank you, Snake!
I will miss being here, yet I know that I can still receive messages from Spirit through animals at home. Perhaps I will hold a women’s retreat here one day soon. That would be cool!
