What is nature telling you?

Human beings report experiences in nature that draw attention to messages in the unconscious mind. If ever you catch a glimpse of a creature, reason always exists for it. You may ask what sudden appearances of birds or animals are telling you. Whether or not you believe in animal totems, you may begin to know something is happening, shifting and transforming.

Consider a woman took what turned out to be an extended three and a half hour hike in the wilderness. At one point, she sensed she was lost. Something within her felt disoriented. Lo and behold, a crow appeared. He flew a few trees ahead and moved his head as if to beckon her in a particular direction. His flight path and gestures suggested a curious familiarity.

This bird flew from tree to tree for more than two kilometers. The woman felt as if she was back on track. Then, the crow disappeared, only to reappear further down the path almost right in front of her. This bird vanished and reappeared again. He continued to guide during segments of the remaining trek.

After the crow vanished, on the home stretch, this woman glimpsed two foxes. Seeing each fox appear and disappear into the forest without disturbing anything in its path triggered moments of revelation.  When trust is present, silence speaks.

The woman became more aware of her actions in relation to the world. She realized she used the art of camouflage to keep cunningly silent about who and what she was. She suddenly grasped she was never lost on this path or her own, but only making free will choices to enable her to create situations she was ready to handle. She better understood who she was, who she had always been, and accepted it. 

Birds and animals have cultural symbolism. Someare linked with character, emotion ad idiomatic expressions. As you separate from the illusion of fear, nature shares secrets.

From the perspective of Native Americans and Shamans, crows are sacred spirit messengers and guardians of universal laws. Crow illustrates how energy can bend physical laws and shape-shift. They are masters of illusion and gatekeepers of ancient wisdom. They come to humans to warn of danger and to jog memories of untapped inner power and spiritual strength.

One is reminded guides take form to help humans attune to what they already know, but temporarily choose to forget. So, crows appear to enable access to inner knowing about what not to do or be. How each situation is perceived and handled is what matters. Nature is a place of orientation and awakening for those ready to shift more than misplaced programming. Cleanse the mind and misunderstandings just drop away.

Thanks for sharing this...causing these insights to surface in our awarenesses.

These nuggets you offer are true gems:
"When trust is present, silence speaks."

and

"As you separate from the illusion of fear, nature shares secrets."

and lastly,

"One is reminded guides take form to help humans attune to what they already know, but temporarily choose to forget."

Mental nectar.

Thanks for dispensing this, Liara.

Avia, to raise awareness of what is happening now reassures people who sometimes feel lost and confused about what is. Every human being is constantly re-orienting, shifting focus, and deciding where to place attention. Each stage evokes emotion or releases it. You find significance where you choose and move on to a new focal point when ready. Messages from the Higher Source are continuous, available within and abundantly clear. Each person grasps what he needs to know right now.

Thank you Liara for pointing me to this article (I am not sure how I missed it) as it is so beautiful and speaks to me so deeply.

That is an amazing story about the woman and I can so feel the energy that transcended there. In my own life I have in the past year been aware of hawks/falcons (not sure which these are) but anyhow, they always seem to be on my path to and from work and just wherever I am I always seem to notice one somewhere. Anyway I feel that there are guides with me always and nature just makes sure that I know it and never forget it.

positively present, nature is constantly sharing messages just like spirit and creatures you sense or do not detect are constantly vibrating energy in your direction. What you choose to discern is what you are ready and willing to recognize are priorities. What you do not see is a choice just as what you focus on is a choice. Its all good for soul.

Evita, animal totems are a fascinating phenomenon. The film and book entitled, The Golden Compass, offer a particular perspective on this subject. Shamans, spiritual individuals and others, speak from experience. As you move to detach from misplaced beliefs and reconnect with inner knowing, then your connection with nature enables you to reconnect with parts of your hidden self. In this way, interacting with nature is like a kind of dream analysis. You awaken to what has always been, but you are suddenly ready to see things as they are, beyond illusion.

Yes, I have seen the Golden Compass and enjoyed it very much!
