And the journey continues...I wonder how it is going for everyone...I feel like the tiny green shoots that are pushing out of the frozen, hard ground. Looking forward to lifting my head up high. Peace.

Dearest Fellow Seekers,
Today I ventured deeper into my journey to activate healing forces within me, around me and throughout the Divine World in order to cultivate and call in transformative energies for healing. I was invited to venture from a deeper place early this morning during my active meditation to clear out old patterns and stuck places that no longer serve me. The message that came as spiritual guidance was for me to keep seeking, keep questioning, keep asking for healing. This afternoon at the exact moment I was about to send an email to a friend about my revelations and healing process, I was suddenly startled by a flock of dozens and dozens of ravens who had suddenly and mysteriously descended outside my livingroom window cawing relentlessly. At first I thought it was a piece of heavy machinery, but when I went outside to investigate I discovered that the commotion was coming from an unimpeded series of continual raven caws, a potency of bird energy I had never encounterd before. This was all occurring in a mystical backdrop of a transcendent quality of energy. I acknowledged the ravens and wondered what they were attempting to communicate to me at this exact moment of my healing process. Here's what I discovered from an Internet search into the symbolism of ravens. I hope this will inspire you as well to look for your own mystical clues on this journey of healing. May you be informed and enlightened on your way.
Here's the excerpt about Ravens: ********************************* The symbolic meaning of the Raven in Native American Indian lore describes the raven as a creature of metamorphosis, and symbolizes change/transformation.
In some tribes, the Raven is considered a trickster because of its transforming/changing attributes.
Often honored among medicine & holy men of tribes for its shape-shifting qualities, the Raven was called upon in ritual so that visions could be clarified. Native holy men understood that what the physical eye sees, is not necessarily the truth, and he would call upon the Raven for clarity in these matters.
Foremost, the Raven is the Native American bearer of magic, and a harbinger of messages from the cosmos. Messages that are beyond space and time are nestled in the midnight wings of the Raven and come to only those within the tribe who are worthy of the knowledge.
The Raven is also called upon in Native ritual for healing purposes. Specifically, the Raven is thought to provide long-distance healing.
The Raven is also a keeper of secrets, and can assist us in determining answers to our own “hidden” thoughts. Areas in our lives that we are unwilling to face, or secrets we keep that harm us - the Raven can help us expose the truth behind these (often distorted) secrets and wing us back to health and harmony.
*********************************
I also learned from Celtic wisdom surrounding Ravens that they portend a symbolic death so that new life can be born. This is something I resonate with deeply during this part of my journey. What is dying? What wants to be born? I'm living into this every minute, every step of this process. I thank you all for the opportunity to share this incredible mystical event, and I wish you the greatest healing on your personal journey today and beyond. Blessings to all of you!
