Koi presents bringing the Ancestors with it this day to tell us today is all about RESPECT! Reminding us that the road we travel did not simply just emerge at a drop of a hat. It is a well worn road that our Ancestors walked, toiled, and molded for us for centuries before we were even a thought. So start showing respect for all that went into creating it so we could walk better, live better the fruits of their labors.
So many people today take for granted what they feel is a birth right… they feel entitled to, expect it to be just handed to them. But wake up kids, that is not the case. Guess what we have to earn it… whether it is respect or material things, a promotion at a job or a wage… WE ALL HAVE TO EARN OUR PLACE. Nothing is free ever. However we also must understand that what our Ancestors accomplished is a gift and not to be taken for granted or taken lightly. Things would be vastly different if they had not walked before us… so respect our Elders and in doing so learn to respect ourselves.
Koi shows up asking us to honor the past, the wisdom’s and teachings shared by the Ancestors. It is easy at times to forget and run ahead on the path, leaving the things that are important to us as we walk the human… yet we should be slowing down in order to be part of the beauty that is in life all around us. Treating each moment with respect and thankfulness. Life is a gift, but we need to remember that the balance of it lies within each of us, it is not someone else’s responsibility… it is our responsibility to walk in the highest good for all.
Koi speaks to us of being calm, peaceful and working together with each other in a state of Zen which places us in a state of enlightenment by direct intuition through meditation and/or prayer. When we are in this state, positives flow in and around us creating a healthier way of life.
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.
