Weekly Oracle Reading: Just Be and Let Your Intuition Be Your Guide

Posted by Barbara Techel

This week we have a message from Bee and one I admitted while I recorded the video something I needed to be reminded of. Perhaps you will also? And now after spending time with Bee and the noteworthy lesson, I find myself in a much sweeter space. I hope it will do the same for you if this is what you need.

I’ve also included another message to go along with Bee from a new deck I just got called, Oracle of the 7 Energies.

Just click here or on the image above to watch and listen. Enjoy!

Animal Magic All Around and An Important Message

Posted by Barbara Techel

It’s been a summer full of animal sitings right outside the windows of our home and my writing cottage! This recent visitor to our deck decided the petunia plant needed trimming. I didn’t have the heart to shoo her away, but instead just enjoyed the company of her sweet presence…

To the young bunny who sat quietly in the front garden watching my hubby John paint the side of the house…

To the fawn that bounded from what seemed like out of nowhere to stop by for a brief and long enough moment right outside my cottage windows one afternoon that I could capture this photo…

To the Robin family starting a new family…

To the wren couple who discovered the new birdhouses to our property (constructed by John) and took up residence… 

To this just last night of a sighting in our yard of a turkey and her chicks…

And last by not least, just two days ago a mouse who found its way into our house but was safely caught and relocated to a nearby woods.

Last evening, after posting the video of the turkey and chicks on my Facebook page a friend stated that she felt the animals feel safe with me. That touched my heart, while at the same time, I realized once again that it is I who feel safe with them too.

And the message I sense from each of them and is one in the same and is one of new beginnings as we are in this time of so much that is yet unseen and wondering what perhaps our future will look like. But despite that, new life is already here — all around us — and it’s up to each of us to discover for ourselves what that is.

All have been blessings helping me to stay connected to a bigger perspective…filling me with hope…and playing out right before my eyes the teaching that we can live in harmony if we just honor and respect one another.

Two Young Bunnies Reminded Me How Fertile with Opportunity These Times Are

Posted by Barbara Techel

This young bunny above is one I saw in my garden a few weeks ago. Today, during my morning walk, I saw another small bunny hopping through a neighbor’s garden. And then later this morning, during my meditation time the bunnies came to me with a message.

The last few days I’d been getting caught up in fear in my mind with all that is transpiring in our world. 

While on my walk, wrestling with not wanting to be in this space, I’d realized that when I let fear cloud my mind, I can’t see the joy that is present. I silently acknowledged to myself the fact that these times of uncertainty shake my foundation of my wanting to feel safe and secure. But I reminded myself that at that moment I was safe.

It was then that the light suddenly looked brighter, the leaves on the trees greener and the sky bluer. I then noticed the young bunny scamper through a neighbor’s garden and just ahead I saw a golden retriever frolicking in someone’s yard. As I neared home another neighbor had just turned on the sprinkler and this feeling surged through me of wanting to be a little girl again and run through that sprinkler! 

During meditation, I was reminded that fear is the shadow part of me, but there is also the part of me that is light. I get to choose which I will play in. But only can I follow the path of the light, which is my heart, by acknowledging the shadow of fear that’s been running through my mind, and understanding what it’s about.

It was then that I saw the bunnies in my mind’s eye and they shared with me what a fertile time this is. How we are being given this incredible opportunity to face those shadows of fear when they appear. How important it is to look at why the fear is there and to ask where is it coming from. And that is what I’d done while on my walk, which helped to shift me back to the fact I was safe and there was so much good to see around me.

What a change of events in my 45-minute walk and then time in meditation that I was brought to this new space of lightness. The bunnies’ message was so true that all that is unfolding around us are opportunities to look within and be with what scares us in order to find our way back to the fact that we can create a better, brighter, and more peaceful reality.

Every moment we get the chance to see the world anew again.
