Turtle stops in this day to tell us that some days we need to slow down and pull back from negatives and chaos if for no other reason than self preservation. To take time to care for self. Situations can pop up whether directly or around our world that causes our emotions and thoughts to stagger… and when it does when need to honor those feelings in order for us to be capable of handling and coping with stress.
Then when the time is right and balance of self has occurred we can stretch our emotional selves back out as we once again walk forward in positives having created that harder…tougher outer shell. To take time to do this is okay, and we need to remind ourselves that it is not selfish… it is okay, for we need to be able to have the skill set to take care of our own life if we are ever to have good relationships and balance in the rest of our Sacred Circles.
Turtle teaches us that we need to remember to walk our paths slow and steady with determination, for if we do our goals will surely be met. They remind us that sometimes it is best to walk on solid ground strong and precise with each step, and at other times it is better to dive into the waters and swim with the current allowing life to assist us in that forward motion.
Turtle helps us to ground reminding us that slowing down and pacing each step will help us build confidence for as we walk at this pace, we will see more of what is being shared with us by the world around us… knowledge of the “Old Ones”. Slowing our pace, calming our breath, listening to our heartbeat, centering our spirit so that we are in balance and sync with the rest of our world.
Turtles remind us that what we need is provided for us, that we need to remember the beginning, the simple and honor all that is Sacred, for it is part of who we all are. Be humble, grateful and make the most of what we have and what we are offered.
“I am Dedicated to Educating and sharing Culture with the World. It is not enough merely to teach the ways of our Elders. We must honor those traditions by sharing and educating the World. Inspiring others …Inspiring our Youth. Through the Music… the Arts…the stories…”
Many Blessings of the Day
