Snake Medicine

I was meditating this afternoon, asking for some guidance on an issue I was struggling with regarding change within myself. Snake appeared to me. She spoke of my fears of change which has caused me to mask my ability to change. ?You've fallen into a rut of comfort.? she pointed out.

Snake then began shedding her skin and continued. ?By releasing the skin of your current identity, you'll move beyond static and move with the rhythm of life. You'll be transmuting the poisons that have halted your growth and find the creative power that is your sensual true being.? ?You've already begun the transformation.? she said as she pointed to the skin peeling on both of my arms from a recent sunburn. And with that, she left.

I always prided myself in my abilities to see what needed to be changed in myself and move forward with the challenge. This time however, I see what needs to happen but am paralyzed by the unknown. I think I am in the beginning of shedding myself yet my eyes are glazed over and I'm finding it difficult to release.

I wonder how many times we see a change that needs to happen within yet we find an excuse to not make this growth happen? Change doesn't happen over night ? whether it's a negative change or a positive change. So we need to open our hearts to the positive, and with love, move forward in our progress ? however tiny the steps may be.

May you remember to love yourself and where you are and where you are going in life's journey.

Namaste!
