As we enter the summer months, now is the time to go for a walk in nature and look at the lush amounts of green grass and leaves on trees. But have you ever thought of looking at nature as to how it could be used as a metaphor to our life’s problems or questions?
Native American wisdom, the Elders say that if something shows up four times to you meaningfully, it has a message for you. Think of it as our unconscious mind having the answer and is trying to make your conscious mind aware of it. I wrote a number of articles awhile ago for Spirit & Destiny the UK’s best selling spiritual magazine, on how we could learn from the animals that surround us, and if they did have a message for us, what would it be?
This month we look at the lesson from the Turtle your co-coach.
Walk in Peace;
Walk in Beauty
until we meet again…
