Personal Oracles from the Treadmill
Thank you to Dr. Carla Goddard for sharing this post earlier in November on her wonderful blog at http://ashiramedicinewoman.blogspot.com/.If you’re familiar with my work you know that clouds have served as conduits for many of my significant personal oracles. However, one summer in our mountain cabin, with no sky view from the treadmill this cloud gazer’s focus was redirected earthward. Early each morning I would slip past sleeping guests into the workout room for a precious 30 minutes on the treadmill where I looked out a large window at tall pine trees that stretched to the sun. One morning my physical fitness routine took on an element of adventure.
Have you ever looked at an object that
you’ve seen dozens of times and experienced it in a completely different way?
This is exactly what happened. I was marching purposefully along, immersed in
words that blared out from the CD player above the sounds of my feet hitting
the treadmill. Ekhart Tolle was explaining THE POWER OF NOW when a familiar energy
caught my attention. My focus was drawn to the image of a perfectly defined
peacock and I recognized my late mother’s unmistakable energy nestled neatly
within the needles of a pine tree that stood about twenty-five feet from the window.
I was mesmerized. My mother’s spirit was resonating to me through the form of a
peacock!
She had chosen a form that made it impossible to miss. Peacock
feathers were my mother’s passion. She placed them all around her home. They
adorned every formal flower arrangement and peeked randomly from miscellaneous
containers. The fragrance Wind Song and
the color aqua were my mother’s own personal signature.
Was there a deeper meaning associated with this unexpected
reunion with my mother from beyond the veil of separation? I referenced ANIMAL
SPEAK by Ted Andrews and discovered that a peacock symbolizes resurrection,
wise vision, heightened watchfulness and immortality. I began to sense there
was a larger purpose to my mother’s visit.
The Native American perspective that plants, trees, clouds,
rocks, fire, water are all alive is my reality. I experience how they watch us
and see our needs. How when we have nothing to protect us, they reveal themselves
and speak to us bringing timely messages of comfort and guidance. How they resonate through each
individual’s uniquely personal interpretation. Until this day on the treadmill,
clouds had been my major source of conduits for souls that have passed over.
My initiation into clouds as conduits for spirits that have
passed occurred the day after my father died when his face and energy resonated
through cloud form to my husband and me. I am deeply grateful to my father’s
spirit for opening this portal for me. Years later, my mother’s spirit expanded
my awareness by allowing me to recognize and embrace her energy through the
image that emerged in the branches of a tree. This union of Father Sky and Mother
Earth transformed ancient wisdom into living reality for me.
From the heavens to the earth and everything in between,
personal oracles speak to each of us. They resonate through every form
imaginable. As they do they deepen and enrich our life experience.
Discover what speaks to you. Open your heart. Engage your
psychic antenna. Tune in to your own mysterious messages. They are hiding in
plain sight, ready to bridge the gap between the material world and the world of
spirit.
