What is it we need to pay attention to this week for our highest good?
From The Wisdom of the Oracle: Chop Wood in reverse. This means that Spirit wants us to pay extra attention.
It’s interesting that last week I pulled Clean it Up in reverse which was all about dealing with what it was we were avoiding and using procrastination as an excuse. Clean It Up was calling for us to see the challenge we were avoiding as an Opportunity to clear the cobwebs and get to the task at hand that needed resolving in order to move forward.
Pulling Chop Wood in reverse is nudging us once again to where it is that perhaps we didn’t what we should have last week and clean up what needed to be looked at. Chop Wood is asking us where is it we are spending too much time thinking about what we want to accomplish instead of just taking one small step toward our intentions.
The Universe can’t support us if we don’t first believe in and begin to support ourselves. When we put one small step into action toward an intention we wish for, the Universe can then step in and bring us more of what we want. Even if we feel the timing isn’t quite right on something we are pursuing, we still have to take steps toward what we are intending so the rest of what is to come to fruition can.
Additional insight from guidebook I feel relevant: You have to get out of the chair to make something happen.
I do think, speaking from my own experiences, and reminding myself at times, not to make something bigger than it needs to be – which can feel overwhelming and then you don’t know where to start.
The Chop Wood I see is about just asking us to start – even in one small corner – just begin.
From Spirit Animal Oracle: Chameleon Spirit – Act as if
How often is it that we know what we want, but we don’t know how to start, and Chop Wood is asking us to just start somewhere.
Chameleon’s message “act as if” is a great message to go along with this because we don’t always know how something is going to unfold or what the outcome will be.
But taking time in meditation or in stillness, perhaps visualize the outcome you wish for – then act as if every step you will take is leading to what you intend – and then watch as it unfolds. Perhaps not exactly as you visualized and it will change as you go along, but just the act of moving a step forward will determine what is next.
Just like the Chameleon changes color to adapt to its surroundings, you may have to also.
With Chameleon being reversed it is asking us to be in awareness of what energies we are feeling. Is it our own energy or are we being pulled in by other’s energy and we don’t realize it?
Staying in tune with our own energy, our own hopes, and dreams, and making sure it is what WE want and not what other’s want of us that helps us achieve our intentions without feeling bogged down by other’s energy.
Did you know that the chameleon has a third eye? It’s located at the back of their head.
This is symbolic to remind us that our intuition is what will guide us – trusting into what you sense and feel is what will work to your advantage for your overall well- being as you move forward.
As you Chop Wood putting into action what you know it is you wish to manifest, keep Chameleon Spirit as your guide to remind you of your true color. This may require a balance of integrating self-care along with moving one small step toward what is important to you.
Additional insight from guidebook I feel relevant: Choose some activities that will restore your sense of being grounded and avoid people who revel in drama.
Hope this was helpful!
