In my first journey, my guide was Mountain Lion, for she has been my guide for a long time. My fascination with mountain lions - cougars, pumas - began during my childhood. I used to believe that I would come upon one of these last ghost cats in the Pennsylvania mountains. Alas, it never happened. However, she has come to me during Reiki sessions and meditations.
In the first journey, she guided me to these realizations: Trust in my own being and sacredness. I am divine. I am whole. Trust in here. Trust in all that I have been given. Trust in the sacred path. Trust that I know the right way. Observe and learn the wisdom from others, however do not become immersed in them. Stay true to myself.
All of this was affirmation that I am on my true path and working toward my true purpose. (Not sure if I am ready to share that with the world.)
In the second and third journeys this week, she brought me to a fire in which I saw other beings and she told me the wisdoms I needed to learn from them. Those lessons that are essential to my path and my spirit. I have shared a couple of them with you so far - Horse and Eagle.
The fire is also very symbolic in the journeys, as the women in my life are gathered there. Very happily, I realized that I do need to gather them by sending each one a medicine gift. By doing so, the circle will become solid and strong. Sacred is in the feminine.
I have been starting my journeys in a hemlock forest in Western Pennsylvania, it wasn't until this last time home that I realized how much it is a piece of me. It is a state park that I visited as a child, but then this summer I was called to it and then again in October. In journeying, I am sitting on a rock with these ancient trees around me. I want to lay on the ground and bury myself in the scent and power of the forest.
