Before reading all the messages of this animal has to offer, I invite you to read their headline and tune in to feel the one that resonates the most with you today.
Start by reading that message. Then you can explore the other messages, but maybe this one is the only message you needed today.
While my feet anchor my body to the Earth, my antlers connect with the sky. Between Earth and Sky I am fully present. I pay attention to the world around me and listen to my senses. Being present in my body, I feel the wind, the rain and the sun on my skin. I hear sounds, from whispers to loud noises. I also feel my muscles and nervous system.
.
Together, my body and my senses alert me to any looming danger, and through the sensations and emotions they inspire, I become present to the discomfort I may feel.
.
My weakness is my tendency to freeze in front of what scares me. Yet, if I were to move out of survival mode, I could use my body, and senses to show me opportunities that worth exploring, relationships that are balanced and safe.
.
It is time for you to move out of fear and trust that the same skills you developed for self-protection or survival can guide you to living and thriving. Fear is keeping you stuck, and what you need is to change perspective.
.
Ask yourself, what is my fear trying to protect me from? Do I still need protection for this or am I strong enough to face this today? Many fears are rooted in past experiences, but you have evolved and developed new skills and capacities since then. Don’t let the past define what you can or cannot do today.
