Spiritual and Totem Insights for the Day – the Koi

The Koi stops in this morning bringing forward the tears of the Ancestors. The knowledge that has been shared from ALL Ancestors has been lost in translation of the masses. It is time to take note of the blood that has already been shed over the centuries and learn that war is not the answer to anything… rather peace and working together for ALL Mankind.

Koi has been revered by many for they are ancient keepers of knowledge and answers worldwide. They are prized for their color and beautiful finage. They are said to house the souls of the very Ancestors that sacrificed and walked before us… yet we as humankind are not embracing the foundations of the basic Teachings…. “Wisdom”… “Love”… “Respect”… “Courage”… “Honesty” … “Truth” … “Humility”

As a people we need to fall back to all of that to rebuild a more solid foundation. One of Balance … One of Positives. So today is all about remembering who we are MEANT TO BE… and allow our souls to choose what is right… not walk backwards retracing the sacrifices of the Ancestors, but to honor them by walking forward in life, showing them we are a better people, a more understanding and caring people… that we have learned from the past, mistakes and all and have released them not allowing them to define us…but having the courage to bring forward Balance and Peace.

The Koi fish brings to us prosperity and a path for new opportunities to show themselves to us. It is up to each of us to be open and aware in order to take advantage of them. Koi can assist us during meditation and altered states of mind in order to help us achieve healing and our full potentials by opening to the wisdom’s of “the Old Ones.” The colors can also be associated with various aspects and applied to our lives if we can again be open to what they share.

The black Koi brings transition into our lives.

The gold Koi brings prosperity which can represent the physical, the spiritual or represent monetary wealth that is being brought to our paths.

The platinum Koi brings to our lives success and puts new and beneficial opportunities at our doors.

White Koi that have red coloring only on their heads push us to be aware of positive movement within our lives and enables us to take advantage of them.

A white and red marked Koi is said be a blessing for well balanced relationships.

The Koi teach us to remember to honor all that is Sacred, to meditate and pray… to be thankful for all our many blessings large and small. To understand that our actions today will imprint for lifetimes just as it has for our Ancestor’s. So walk your paths wisely and ask for assistance from our Ancestor’s often.
