Deer Medicine

Deer

Great Spirit has given us a very great gift in the animal kingdom. Each animal has been charged with bringing us a specific type of knowledge, a specific type of healing. Each time an animal enters our life, it has something to tell us. It is there to be our ally - sometimes for a short time, sometimes for a lifetime.

Animal medicine is the energy that helps us improve our connection with the Universe and All Of Our Relations. Through listening to and walking with the animals, we find own balanced path in this life. In short - we learn to accept ourselves and heal.

When an animal comes into our life, whether of it's own volition or by our calling it tous, we are able to use the strength of that animal's essence. If we act in a humble way, and are open to the messages and lessons that come to us, we allow ourselves to heal. They are part of our pathway to power. Be grateful for their assistance and show gratitude and respect.

The Sacred Circle of Life speaks of the inter-connectedness of all things. Through our connections with All Of Our Relations, we experience the sacred, joyful spark that lies within each of us. As we allow that spark to shine forth, we illuminate our paths on this physical plane.

The message/medicine that each animal carries is individual to that animal. Great Spirit has gifted Deer with the medicine of gentleness. Through gentleness we are taught to reach out to those that would hold us back - those that live from the center of their own self-imposed pain. These are the people that attempt to keep us from finding our centers, from connecting with our hearts and finding peace.

"I am Deer. Whenever I appear in your life you are feeding your fears with the heat of your own negativity. Do not project your fears on others. Be willing to look your fears in the face, show them love, understanding and compassion and release them. I am here to help you learn to love yourself for the special being that you are. Where you show love and gentleness, fear cannot find lodging. Call on me to walk with you when you need to show courage through compassion."
