DREAMS

All thru December, 2007 and a good part of January, 2008 I was seeing herons everywhere. In every turn of the road, in every field, in every brook there was a heron. They were definitely after me! I even wanted to blog it, and, what's more important, to have a look at Totem Animals to see what the message was, but for some reason I didn't. I did it now. Bummer, shall I ever learn!

Quote:
The Heron:
...
Understanding your personal rhythm and responding to it accordingly is imperative for those with this medicine.
...
Those with this medicine have strong emotional natures. They feel things deeply and with passion. The challenge here is to keep passionate thoughts and feelings under control in order to maintain a balanced emotional nature. The advantage of this energy indicates the passion and ambition needed to complete tasks and accomplish goals.
...
Herons stand out in their uniqueness and know how to take advantage of things and events for their own benefit. By observing the heron, its actions and its lack of action we learn how to perfect out personal flight through life. Herons hold a silent power, their grace, agility and majestic presence reflect balance. This balance is the gift they offer to all who choose to receive it.

'Understanding your personal rhythm', 'keeping passionate thoughts and feelings under control', and, generally, 'balance' were definitely the name of the game during that period! If only I listened to the wise herons!

Ok, better late than never... If another unusual animal shows up I'll certainly consider what it has to say! (Unusual - I mean, not alley cats).

Recently I translated Earth Chakras Volume 1(Robert Coon) into Russian, and for me, some things do click!

1. Communication centre. Is there any other problem we talk about these days more than about the communication problem? Hardly. So, where's the communication centre? The Middle East! The poor chakra has been being battered for centuries, can it be the reason why there is so much misunderstanding in the world? By the way, Babylon is in that region, too. The prophets have been trying their best but too many words were falling on stony ground... Maybe we all should do some reiki and wish the poor communication centre to get well so that the divine word could be heard loud and clear on this planet?

2. Sexual centre - South America! Well, well, well... passion crime, soap operas... but I don't want to go too far, just look at the way they dance there!

3. The centre of Beauty and Immortality - Mount Fuji, Japan. Is there any other people in the world that have Cherry Blossom Admiration celebrations and The Autumn Full Moon Contemplation festivals? The Centre of Beauty - Japan. Definitely.

To me, it does ring the bell. For more information you are welcome to have a look at http://www.earthchakras.org/

(don't worry, it's in English, not in Russian )

Here I am sitting on the porch and watching the clouds that for all they try don't materialize into the rain... and then suddenly something small comes flying from the neighbour's garden, bounces off the path and ploffs into the pool. Erm?

My first thought: "Is it some unexpected gift?"

There I go to see what has dropped into the garden, literally, out of blue - and find a walnut. Floating in the pool.

I look into the neighbour's garden - nobody. Walnut trees? Nope, not that I can see. Erm... a bird flying over and accidentally dropping the walnut - with almost a scientific precision - on the garden wall which is about 4 inch wide? Well, that's probably the only logical explanation to that. Scientific precision, or pure luck, but I got the walnut! (should I do the jig, I wonder?)

Now... a walnut. A walnut flower is "the remedy for changes" in Bach's flower remedies. There is also a Russian expression "a nut of knowledge" - meaning, if you want to get to the heart of the matter you've got to break thru some barriers - a shell, in this case.

Hm... interesting...

All theories on flying walnuts are welcome!
