A Vision With an Underlying Meaning
This will be a different type of blog than you are used to reading from me. I’d like to share a vision with you. I don’t always share these but felt it was important for your growth. It is an example of how meditation and visions in your mind’s eye can give you exactly what you need, even if you don’t realize it at the time.
I talk about self care quite often. I preach on the importance of dedicating time for yourself. Lately, I have not been listening to my own advice. For the last few years I have had a monthly massage. My schedule got a bit out of control, so these scheduled days went to the wayside. I finally made time to schedule a massage. I wanted to give the day all of my attention. Before I arrived, I meditated and asked for vital information from my guides. I felt slightly disconnected with myself. The feeling of being overwhelmed and out of balance. I was in search of direction, to reconnect with my path. I was open and ready to receive instructions, so to speak.
I climbed aboard the massage table, concentrating on my breathing and my intentions. The vision started almost immediately and came to a close at the end. I remember thinking that I would need to research the symbols, but my guide questioned me as to why I felt the need to research what I knew. I intuitively understood the meaning and meditated on these impressions. After two weeks, I did research the symbols in order to explain them. My intention was heard loud and clear and I want to share it with you. I will try to paint the vision to as much as possible so that you too can see the insight I received. If this vision also speaks to you then this message was meant for you as well.
The room was peaceful with the scents of lavender and a citrus/rose aroma. The music, Gregorian Monks chanting which added to the vibration and energy of the session. I had asked to receive a message to empower me to know the changes and growth I needed to make. I slowed my breathing down by taking in several deep cleansing breaths. As the massage started, simultaneously, I saw swirls of yellows, reds and blues come into view. I know my chakras are aligning and I invite in the light.
Mixed in with the colors, an endless stream of faces pop in and out of my mind. I have been working on quieting the mind and I was able to just witness what was about to unfold without my mind chattering. I wait and watch a bit, welcoming them all to just be with me. Then an Aboriginal man comes forward along with two elephants. He points, directing me to climb aboard the one in the back. I ask where we are going. He says nothing. I ask why are we on elephants? Again, he says nothing. He is mounts the first elephant waiting for me to climb upon the second one. I am to follow him. We travel for only a few seconds and I ask his name to which he answers Jacob. I smile to myself, and answer “Jacob? That doesn’t seem very aborigines. To which he snap his head around, puts his finger up and said, “Silence!”
Let’s look at the symbols so far: His being Aboriginal symbolizes the connection to animals, plants and nature. It is also a connection to the ancestors, clans, family, life and the land. They represent a guiding force in the significance community life roles and responsibilities. All things are connected. It is oneness, belonging, connectiveness with your deep innermost feelings. The two separate pachyderms with woven blankets symbolize strength, power and memory. They are know to remove obstacles and clear the path. They offer wisdom, luck and prosperity. They stay with the same herd for life representing family circle, ancestorial connection. Being a cosmic creature, they carry the world on their backs. With just these two symbolic images, I know something amazing is emerging.
As we travel in silence he points to all the beauty around me. I felt as through he was acknowledging how much I have overlooked the small things of beauty. I was to slow down and pay attention. This would also be the reason we traveled in silence. I was to not only take in the visions, but also the sounds and scents of the “forest like” path we were on.
He stopped at the edge of a cliff and motioned me to dismount. I hear telepathically that we are at the cliff of many stones. He motions me to stand on the edge, he raises his hands and a warm light streams from his fingertips surrounding me in light. Small pebbles and stones begin to fall from my body. I can hear the cracking of the rocks that surround me as more fall away. Large and small stones start to trickle off my back and arms rolling down my fingertips to the ground. Replacing what once was covered in stones, I am now covered in golden light. I close my eyes and tilt my face towards the sun. I could hear the stone continue to leave my body as the sun’s warmth placed it loving rays upon my face. When I heard the last stone fall, I opened my eyes. I was directed to find the waterfall and then Jacob was gone. I had no idea what direction to go. I verbalized that I could not do it alone. I heard his booming voice say he disagreed, and that I knew where to go.
Let’s look at the symbology before continuing with the vision. Standing on the edge of the cliff of many stones means being in a very risky or vulnerable position. It is a crucial moment in time where a decision must be made. Even though going through a rough spot you are headed towards victory. The steep drop off is a precarious situation. I recognized the stones represent the heavy workload of projects and responsibilities I had created that needed to fall away. I was being called to release the large stone “walls” around myself. I needed to trust that thing would be lifted and resolved.
Interesting, what can be seen with our eyes closed and our hearts open. We receive messages that we overlook, just as I had overlooked the beauty that surround me. Let’s go back to the vision. I remember I felt tasked to find this waterfall. I felt alone and lost. I knew Jacob was with me but he was within my sight guiding me on the path. I continued, I felt anxious, almost spinning around in circles thinking I don’t know where to go or how to find the waterfall. I felt his stern but calming voice, “look and you will see”. I reflected back to our silent trek to the cliff of many stones. The things I had overlooked for so long. I stopped, took a deep breath and a condor was circling above me in the sky. I felt as though to show me the way. (side bar: I’ve been drawn to Thunderbirds for quite some time. I did not realize, in the spiritual world Thunderbirds and Condors are one in the same.) I looked up and followed the path of the condor. I started to hear the rush of water, the scent of water, the feel of water. I was noticing what I had missed. Then waterfall appeared. It was unlike any I had ever seen. Not only did the water flow downward but it also sprayed up from the ground with wet cobblestones leading from one side to the other. I felt pulled to cross to the other side. Keeping my footing so not to fall. It seemed vital that I must not to fall into the water. As I touched each cobblestone, the water was warm and felt as though it was cleansing away all the mistakes, worries and doubts of my earthy quest. I remember the sweet fragrances that surrounded me. The water, somehow felt as though it were coating me in protection. I felt safe and at home. Once on the other side, I turned my face again to the sun. I felt as though I began to rise. I felt a unity of guides, angels, and spirit around me.
Looking again at symbolism, The waterfall is the process of letting go, cleansing. It is to be able to release negative thoughts that pulsate through the mind, body and soul. The washing away so to speak. It is also said to be a reminder of God’s faithfulness and protection, absorbing prayers and bringing in good medicine with rebirth. The power of the water harnesses and generates electricity, energy. Water is always ready to change to adapt itself. It creates and transforms around what it touches. The other big symbol for me, is being guided by the condor. This large powerful winged animal is associated with the sun and is believed to rule the upperworld of the sky and future. It is the path of the heart, intuition and feminine energy. The condor emerges for a higher vision, purification and spiritual guidance bringing transformation to seek a higher perspective, an understanding from a higher, yet adjacent view.
As the massage was coming to a close I felt the part of me that had risen above my body, it started to float back down into the body lying on the table. Although, I was instructed to trust the message, I did ponder it for about 2 weeks before looking into the symbols. This was such an amazing feeling of have been cleansed from the earthly worries and issues. Being shown the grace to allow the struggles to float away. The things that have been intruding into my head placing a block in my path. I was given permission to my earthly self to allow them to fall away at the cliff of many stones. I was given a better understanding of my soul journey. I know I am safe and not alone. I am to seek a higher vision and version of consciousness, connectiveness that will enable my soul’s continued transformation. The map is inside of me, the condor will lead me.
My energy has been cleansed as I await further guidance from the condor and Jacob. The new guide assigned to me, force me to be quiet, to trust and notice the beauty around me.
God hears my prayers and in time I will know what i need to know. Until that time, I will allow the silence in to help me find the clarity of the things I must disregard. The worries of the world are not mine to carry on my back. I am to share this experience with other in order to help them on their journey.
Blessings
