Light-Hearted and Fun – Which Animal Will You Be Like – Animal Wisdom Oracle Reading – Week of Nov. 23, 2020

Posted by Barbara Techel

In this week’s animal wisdom reading, I wanted to keep it light. Well, for the most part, I did.  🙂  Whether you celebrate Thanksgiving or not, I love this week as one to remember to set aside time to be grateful. 

So I thought it would be fun to have you choose what card you feel drawn to (1, 2, or 3) to see what animal it is that you can have some fun exploring and ways in which you can be more like. I played along also and was quite tickled at the card I chose as it was spot on!

I’d welcome any comments on what you think of the animal you chose and how you will incorporate its guidance this week.

Grateful for each of YOU!

Lean Into Yourself and Into One Another – Weekly Oracle Reading

Posted by Barbara Techel

Here we are. The last week of October 2020. It’s my hope this oracle reading will help you know you aren’t alone if you are feeling many different emotions right now – not to mention the intensity that many of us are experiencing. I am too and I’m not going to sugarcoat it – but face it head-on – and take it as my cue to lean even more into myself and into trust and faith.

Help is all around us and within us and a butterfly totem on its side on my altar this morning, along with the first oracle card I pulled shares exactly that message. Plus some wisdom as always from the animal kingdom, walking beside us, here for us. guiding us.

Sending you each an extra big hug and lots of love!

An ‘Unusual Butterfly’ and Insightful Message for Us All

Posted by Barbara Techel

In early September my husband John and I packed our R-pod camper and headed to Sioux Falls, South Dakota for a week’s respite.

Answering the inner nudge for rest, time to breathe in lots of fresh air, feast our eyes on nature, and spend quality time together were the priorities for the time away.

Arriving late Saturday afternoon we settled into the KOA campground just a few minutes outside of the city anticipating our first adventure on Monday’s to visit Falls Park.

The park covers 123 acres and on average about 7,400 gallons of water drop 100 feet over the course of the Falls each second. 

When we arrived, I could hardly wait to get out of the van. The views were breathtaking! (I created an album here if you’d like to see photos.)

But it was what I discovered about an ‘unusual butterfly’ while there that brought some insight I felt so fitting especially given the year we’ve all had so far.

South Dakota known for buffalo has given them the unique name of ‘Monarch of the Plains’ dedicated to the buffalo that roamed the falls in the 1800s.

I couldn’t help but ponder the symbology of this. It brought me back to revisiting the saying from the Native American’s, “Be the Buffalo!” 

This means that if you ever have the chance to observe a buffalo in a storm you will note that they don’t run from it, but stand and face it head-on.

Our world has certainly been going through a storm these last few months. It’s been an opportunity to face our fears, lean into our resilient nature, and reinstall within us that we can endure most anything.

Thinking about buffalo as the ‘monarch of the plains’ I see this as when we endure any storm in our lives and when the storm passes and in the time of reflection we realize we have transformed. We are no longer the same but changed, and better for what we’ve learned.

I was grateful for the opportunity to stand beside this buffalo statue as I felt the powerful lesson of this seep into my being.

May we all continue to see the storm as opportunities to strengthen our wings and give flight to all we hold true in our hearts.

Barbara
