Crystal and Animal Spirit Meditation
It is early morning, your body awakening to a new day. The sunrise is peeping on the horizon, pastel colours emerge, like an artists dream palette.
You have overnighted in a bush camp and surrounded by indigenous trees. In the distance above the canopy of trees is a Baobab, its ancient knowledge and wisdom holds your attention as you feel its embrace. Some Baobabs reach to extraordinary heights with expansive trunks and unique twirly branches.
Focusing your binoculars, you see its heavily folded grey, reddish brown bark with their large waxy flowers.
The veld flowers show a sprinkle of colour as the season turns and the promise for the future.
You listen intently to the sounds of the morning as the landscape awaits the full glory of a perfect day, admiring Mother Earth’s beauty in every way.
You look out to the East and greet the sun.
Connect with Amethyst for spiritual and psychic development as well as your connection to earth as you welcome opportunities that are ready to be nurtured.
The corresponding animal spirit is the Elephant – stand for a cause, keep in mind your mission, remaining motivated and determined as nothing stands in your way of reaching a desired goal with timeless infinity.
Elephants through their vast roaming come to know of drought and plentiful. Their curious trunk is used throughout their lives to feed, drink, feel their way, smell for danger and signal emotions.
Turn to face the South, this is the area where courage needs to be applied.
Citrine, is the crystal for manifestation of hopes and aspirations, asking for the removal of any energy blockages. Remain disciplined in your commitments.
Animal spirit is the Fish Eagle, its unmistakable call with impressive large, broad-winged flight of white head, breast and tail with chestnut belly. Feel at one with the energy of the Eagle as you are reminded to take back your power and own
the responsibility of your own life as you rise above physical matter and open to divine inspiration.
The West is the direction of what you desire and how you plan to achieve it.
Hold Rhodonite in your left hand then cup between the palms of your hands as you open to motivation in achieving your desires and taking the first step in assisting in fulfillment and strengthening your emotional body.
Animal Spirit is the Rhinoceros whose energy supports as you acknowledge your profound sense of spirituality even although sometimes you may feel intimated, knowing you are protected. You open to looking into the ancient mysteries as this wisdom supports you now.
In the North, you discover the healing, wisdom and gratitude.
Zebra Rock – balances the yin yang, energy, aligning with spiritual energy and vitality.
The Zebra’s spirit is that of compromise and your best stand with disagreements, rather softening with persuasion and agreeing to disagree, stepping away to gain a fresh perspective.
The Zebra defined by their black and white stripes reminding us of opposites and all that is in between.
The four directional markers bring you to the centre, representing self as you embrace the connection to source and the unity that lives within.
Return your attention to the space where you began looking at the vastness of the Baobab, your roots, your family tree and the rays of the sun energizing your love for nature.
