Virus Symbolism | Spirit Animal Totems

I can't say I ever thought of a virus as an spirit Animal  Totem, but it is a living organism, and I agree that a virus has something to teach Humanity.

Virus Symbolism | Spirit Animal Totems



It is time to regroup and let go of your target.
There is something better waiting for you.
-Virus

Nothing organic on this planet has been left untouched by the virus. All of the world’s living entities are susceptible to this micro-organism. The virus totem is a very difficult spirit animal and primarily deals with our shadow aspect of the self. However, there are redeeming qualities in all creatures, and this organism is not exempt in this category. If a virus dream or power animal of any kind appears in your life, I strongly suggest that you do some research into the origins of the virus. Many times, it has transferred to us from another animal species. If this is the case, then that species should be incorporated into our self-analysis of why we have brought this virus meaning into our lives.



Meaning, Symbolism, and Messages



In this case, virus symbolism is giving you notice that some things in your life are getting out of hand. Thus, it’s now time to let go of your preconceived perceptions of things and allow for new things to take their place. Make a note of all the small irritations in your life right now and make an effort to resolve them before they entirely overwhelm you.


Alternatively, the virus meaning is letting you know that you can no longer postpone your healing journey. Thus, you must find the inner strength to step up and face your fears and resolve festering issues. Often it is the fear that is making things larger than they are. In fact, there are many ways and many paths, find one that works for you.


Occasionally, virus symbolism will enter your life when you are feeling small in the world. Therefore, it is reminding by allowing yourself to shine forth in all of your glory. Thus, you will let yourself to be accountable to the universe. In doing so, you will practice the art of self-truth and do your part in this world.



Virus Totem



Like the bee and the ant, people with the virus totem are excellent workers and good at setting goals and accomplishing them. They are often crusaders and protesters. Moreover, they love to work in large groups that align with their principles and will work tirelessly to achieve their visions. Folks with this spirit animal totem sometimes struggle with negativity and negative thought processes. Therefore, they will have a hard time protecting themselves against others who tend to be negative around them.


In some cases, the virus totem can be a particularly tricky spirit. These folks will have to be aware of their parasitic tendencies and can also be quite toxic to others. However, their virtues far outweigh these shadow aspects. Virus people are knowledgeable, share information readily, do not pretend to be experts on subjects they do not know of, are truthful, ambitious, and trustworthy. They do not pretend to be anything other than what they are and are comfortable with themselves.


People with the virus totem have no issue with letting go of control or forcing others to let go. They also healthily express grief and are unafraid of their emotions.


Virus Dream Interpretation



Like the parrot, when you have a virus dream, the symbolism insists that you examine the patterns in your life that you have inherited from your ancestors. Thus, by reviewing these reoccurring events and delving deep into why they happen, you can heal the past as well as the presents. It is time to release these karmic patterns and move on.


Alternatively, if you dream that you are under attack by these micro-organisms, then you must look closely at the people with which you are surrounding yourself. These people are toxic to your well being in some way, and you will have to figure out precisely what it is. Perhaps these people are making you feel small or forcing their negativity on you. In other words, find ways to protect yourself from this negativity.


Occasionally, a virus dream can herald a particularly tumultuous period in your life. Perhaps an illness or upheaval of some sot is in the works. Take the time to research all of the aspects of this dream and act accordingly.



Coronavirus



This particular virus meaning is an expression of grief and soul sorrow. In other words, it embodies the belief that our planet is doomed, yet we do nothing about it. Coronavirus reflects the collective conscious thought that we are entitled to everything in this world without balancing the requirements of this planet. Yet our soul knows that this is not in keeping with our spirit. Therefore this flu forces us to shift from selfishness to selflessness. It also requires a near-death experience to enforce the change. This virus feeds off futility and brings back hope to those who care enough to search inwardly.

Shanta Gabriel: Expanding your Inner Activity

Shanta Gabriel


Posted: 15 Nov 2017 03:43 PM PST


Dear Ones,


It is a time of expansion and an amazing ability to generate new levels of activity. You are probably feeling the sense of ignition within you, like your inner motor is just beginning to run more consistently. There is a sense that you want to swing into action, but you may not be sure where that action needs to be focused.


The focus of your exploration at this time is to expand on any ideas that come upon you. Offer all that you do to the Divine working in and through your life. You have divine partners who are totally invested in what you create in your life. They want to participate with you in the new birth of ideas and creative expression that give your life more meaning and purpose.


Without having a clear purpose there is a rudderless feeling inside. There is energy to put forth but no direction. Most people are looking for something that has great merit and benefits the world in beautiful ways. However what if your purpose is as simple as bringing higher light frequencies into the world? This may seem minimal but we promise you it is the basis of what everyone needs to do to bring greater purpose and more beauty into the world.


With that in mind, what can you expand on that will bring you a sense of fulfillment? You may have been gifted with fleeting ideas from your guidance. These small avenues can become the creative flow working through you that calls forth manifestation of the guidance working with you in this special time.


You might even have tried some of those ideas before and they did not work out the way you had hoped. In this new time of deeper communication with your Higher Self, these ideas may need to be brought out into the light, dusted off and reformatted for a new, empowering enterprise.


It is a time when what is hidden is being brought into the light. This includes your deepest dreams, hopes and wishes. You have tremendous levels of nonphysical support during this time of the year. It is the last Gate of Power before the end of the year. It is in some cultures the beginning of the new year.  Call your support team into action to bring into fruition your greatest dreams and abundant ideas.


There are aspects of your life that are ready to come into fruition for you in new ways. There is a passion running through your energy system that allows you to create in harmony with your Highest Soul’s reality.


Without the patience to truly explore the ideas streaming through your heart, you will miss the opportunity that may be presenting itself in perfect divine timing.


Have faith in yourself and the guiding light working through you. Become personally involved with the energies of the masters, ancestors, guiding spirits and angels that are supporting your growth and ascension at this time. Invite them in. Give yourself time for communion. Have a meeting if there is an idea that inspires you. Record the meeting or keep notes of what transpires. Sometimes it is just a small moment of insight that can transport your idea into the realms of abundant fruition.


Be free to explore the avenues within yourself that are opening for you right now. Let yourself be in the childlike space of wonder, openness and exploration. Nothing is as it was. But know that all is well.


And so it is.

Sarah Biermann: The Hot Season of Change: Part 2 - Are Your Fears Being Triggered?

The Hot Season of Change:
Part 2 - Are Your Fears Being Triggered?



This “Hot Season of Change” is lighting a fire under two things: your deepest fear and your greatest desire. If your fears are being triggered, this is why.


While the two things are opposite each other, they are very connected because you can’t manifest and live your dream unless you become aware of and face the fear, even embrace the fear, and ultimately release it.


A hint: the thing you most fear isn’t an injury or damage to your body or to a loved one, it is the “horrible thing” that proves that you are a pitiful looser and that all your (failed) dreams are “illusions”. The fear is that there will be proof of what a deluded, foolish and stupid idiot you are. Not to mention a “fake spiritual person”.


Ugg… It hurts! It can crush you and make you want to end it all, to give up and even consider exiting this life.


It can also make you avoid living your dreams so that you end up doing work that just pays the bills, doing a job that you don’t like, and even hate.


(I am also getting triggered as are just about everyone I know. For me, when I let myself really go into it, with all the tears and shaking, then I felt better afterwards. Well, not right afterward, but I did feel better the next day. The fears are just fears. Try not to attach to them by believing they are true and real. Part of this is being fueled by the planetary shift and part by the Old Energy pushing our buttons.)


Did you know it was going to be this hard, that it would suck this much? Why does it have to be this way?


The other reason is that the Old Energy and those who are trying to prevent the transformation to the New Energy are doing everything they can to prevent the Transformation. The Transformation from the Old Energy to the New Energy is a really, really big thing! It is also a really, really important thing.


This can sound rather obscure so we have systems to interpret and understand what is happening and how we can participate in the Transformation.


I see astrology as a mirror, reflecting back to us what is the focus and the cosmic energy at certain times. Your natal chart can show you what gifts you brought in, as well as what challenges you chose. Other systems, like numerology, do a similar thing, helping us to understand what “it’s all about”.
The recent eclipses speak to the intensity of what I call the “Hot Season of Change”.  The focus point of the eclipses is Leo and especially, 29º of Leo. The Lunar Eclipse on August 7th had the Sun at 15º Leo and the Solar Eclipse was at 29º Leo. Mars is conjunct the Sun and Moon, pushing action and possibly aggression. Leo is all about self-love and self-worth. Other celestial bodies have continued to cross over and activate this place. So, what does this mean?


The challenge we are being faced with is to come face to face with the things that make you feel less-than, powerless, unlovable and ashamed. It’s the weakness that you don’t want anyone to see. The outcome of this process is to move past the limiting beliefs and to truly know your own self-worth and lovability.


If you are not clear about what this is for you, one way to understand is to look at what house is ruled by Leo is in your natal chart. If you don’t have your natal chart you can get it at https://alabe.com/freechart/. If you need more information and understanding about the houses please contact me or do a web search. The astrology system that I use is shamanicastrology.com. Contact me if you would like to know more about why this astrological system, more than any others, is what I believe has the best understanding and point of view of any others.


Many people thought and expected that at the end of the “Mayan Calendar” the wonderful New Earth would begin. The expectations were that all the negative and ugly stuff would go away and we could go forward with the positive and beautiful.


What happened instead is that the negative and ugly was exposed, big time. What I wrote earlier applies to this situation and the polarity.


“While the two things are opposite each other, they are very connected. You can’t manifest and live your dream unless you become aware of and face the fear, even embrace the fear, and ultimately release it.”


While the end result, and the reason you and I are here now, is to manifest the New Earth with all its splendor and beauty, we have had to go through the “cleaning of the basement”. We had to get down and dirty and go into the ugliness in order to clean it out.


It’s not fun… You chose to be here to do this… You are one of us who wanted to be part of this and YOU were chosen because you have the ability to know the worst and still know the best. You are able to anchor the “New Earth Waves” here and hold this truth for our planet.


BTW What you are doing isn’t just for this planet. What you are doing is affecting the whole Solar System, the Galaxy and beyond.


It is not easy to do this, not at all. Yet, you are here now because you are uniquely able to do this.
One of the hardest parts of this job is that the ones who are who haven’t yet chosen their desired movement into the New Earth, mostly have no awareness of it nor any understanding of its importance. Unfortunately, this includes many of your family and friends, not to mention the mainstream media/news that influence these people.


If you feel the heart tug upon reading this. If there is a moment when you think, “Yes, this is me!” before your doubts kick in, then you are definitely one of us.  You are one of the special souls that is incarnating now, despite the challenges and the losses.


Please do not think that you are the only person who has doubted yourself. The opposite is true. The major challenges of an Old Soul are doubt and lack of self-worth. You could say the doubt and low self-worth (AKA shame) are the “self-karma” of Old Souls.


I know this well. One of my teachers, mentors and friends (who also introduced me to Shamanic Astrology) labeled me, “The Queen of Shame”. This was partly because I am such a huge “fan” of Sting, the lead singer and song writer of the 80’s ban The Police. He wrote a song about himself called, King of Pain. (Looking at it now, this could be the mantra of most Old Souls). The other reason was that I went through the deepest, dungeon of my personal shame with her support and that once I delved so deeply into it, I was relatively comfortable with it. I was no longer driven by wanting to hide the “secret shame” that I had lived with for decades.


(Important note: When I finally was able to (with my friends support) go to the center of the “horrible truth” about myself that I had kept hidden my whole life, I found that there was nothing there. There was not a wretched truth or secret thing about me. The shame didn’t hide anything. There was nothing there at all).


This was also the moment when I experienced shifting my perspective from the  “miserable human” to my Greater Self. My human aspect was beyond misery, curled up in a ball on the floor and sobbing. My GS was experiencing this as, “Wow, this is so intense!” without feeling that the intensity was bad or miserable. It was really weird, amazing and life changing. This experience has stuck with me. It enables me to facilitate others while they experiencing this while being empathic but not hooked in to the emotions. This also enabled me to be able to delve into the lowest frequencies (shame and fear) while still having an awareness that is outside of polarity.


What is important to realize is that you have a human aspect that is living within the constructs of the Old Earth reality and can be triggered by cosmic and Old Earth energies AND you have a Greater Self / Soul aspect that is able to step outside of that limited perception and to know and understand the bigger picture.


This ability is something that your brought in to this incarnation. This is something that you already are. I know that it usually doesn’t feel this way, but you would not be reading this if it wasn’t true for you.


So, breathe… imagine if the current challenges were not “really real” and are instead a trigger of your old fears.


And this too will pass…

Lee Harris: July-August 2014 Energy Forecast - Consciousness Dancing and The Brain of The Heart


(Transcribed and edited from Lee's live Video message.)


Hi everybody, and welcome to the Energy Forecast for July and August 2014.
The first thing for me to touch on this month is humorous to me because it’s the very reason that I had trouble starting this forecast a second ago, which is: our brains – and how our brains are not functioning the way they used to.

Now, some of you will have been familiar with this from time to time over the last several years. It’s part of the awakening process that your brain no longer 'thinks' or operates the way the old you used to. So for a while, it can almost feel like your brain disappears from your life.

Symptoms are struggling with memory; struggling with concentration; struggling to string a sentence together; and some people are even noticing that their words are getting a little jumbled up.

This is quite common within a lot of people. A large number of people going through the awakening process right now will be experiencing this.

So it’s nothing particularly to worry about. 
But the interesting thing for us to learn from it, is to notice how it makes us feel to lose our mental capacity. 
Because the challenge, I believe, for all of us on the planet in the last few years is how do we find strength through increasing vulnerability?

It seems that every year there are more challenges for us as a people and as individuals that put us into situations that we haven’t been in before.

You see, if you think of the linear mind and the more masculine way of using the mind, it’s directional; and there is a progression of thought and logic leading to external actions and choices. The masculine mind perceives achievements and 'happenings' along the way and likes to see what we might call 'measureable or provable success'.

Well, that’s a very human-trained way of living and using the old masculine mind.

So now more people than ever are opening beyond how they were 'trained' as a human - a training which, for all of us on this planet, has limited our actual potential and our capacity. Some people refer to this as 'conditioning'. 
As you open beyond your conditioned mind, and you start to bring your energy senses into play; your third eye, your heart at a new level, the whole energy field. Once this begins to happen, everything starts to change. And the old brain feels very out of place. And it can almost feel sometimes like you are saying things that you don’t quite understand, or that don’t quite reverberate with other people in the way that they used to.

So, many of you will be having a bit of an experience where you’re talking to someone, or in an engagement and you’re suddenly going, “What did I just say/do….?” You will be finding yourself surprised by your actions and sayings. 
And this is just the brain 'loosening' it's old grip on your behaviours.  Because you no longer have such a strong emotional connection to it as you did.

The brain starts to become more of a piece of service to you and your way of being, rather than the solo leader of your way of being, the more you awaken. The brain become a facility you go to, to use for the times that you need to organize, analyze or direct events. But actually what happens during awakening is the brain of the heart starts to become far more dominant.

So, you will experience this when you are, for example, sitting looking at a tree – something I can’t stop doing in the last 4 months. You will need that time to stop and be still in order to stay balanced, because at the moment so much energy is pouring onto the planet. We hear a lot about external influences right now - solar flare activity, universe shifts that are going on around us, but what you have to look at is how does that implode us internally?

So, the brain and also the physical body are two big areas that are being energetically affected in people right now.

Some people are experiencing physical issues or symptoms that are forcing them to stop, re-examine, slow down, change the way they operated. 
Some people are just experiencing more tiredness or exhaustion or unusual needs to nap where usually their energy is more consistent.

Again, all of these things over the last 3 or 4 years will have been symptoms for everybody at certain stages. But, as with this fast growing time, these symptoms are getting stronger and more universal, so now the whole collective are experiencing it.

Now the whole collective is something to really take into account when you consider how you are feeling on a day to day basis.

I work with people every week, and I have done for 10 years. And what’s been so illuminating to me in that journey is you really understand that we all have a relationship to fear and we all have a relationship to love and to opening. And we might all be different in the details of those relationships, but underneath, the same core relationships to love and fear exist.

So for example, I might have fear about things that you personally don’t fear – and vice versa. But the point is they’re just different stories; just different ways of experiencing fear as a human being.

What many of you tend to forget, and I see this in questions I’m asked on my monthly live Q + A broadcasts in 'The Portal', is that many of you can make how you are feeling very personal. Many of you can feel that what’s going on for you is very much 'all to do with you'. 
And this often leads to judgment or lack thoughts toward yourself; such as, Why can I not overcome this? Why can I not make this work? What’s my problem that this creation I’m trying to create cannot come to fruition? What’s my issue? What’s the wound I need to heal?

Now, that way of thinking is really old in the self-development community from my perspective.

There is a time and a place to start burrowing into yourself and thinking it’s all about you. But it’s never all about us. We’re in a very interconnected web of life.

And right now, a lot of people in the world are panicky, exhausted, spinning off their center – so they’re often playing out unconscious actions in bigger or more reactive or more volatile ways.
This collective energy affects all of us, day-to-day.

This is why over the last few months I reminded you to know about your boundaries and know what’s okay with you and what isn’t. Because a lot of people right now will be behaving in ways that they never have before. Reactive, irritated, impatient, sad - responses to this time that may be unconscious in them and their behaviours.
So you need to learn how to be responsive to that in yourself. You also may need to make some changes in how you navigate people and relationships right now.
You may need to ask yourself questions such as "Do I want to get into an argument with this person or can I just walk away because they are really exploding right now? Is this the time where I talk to them about that thing I’ve never spoken to them about?"

But through all of this, and particularly when dealing with people who are having difficulties, just keeping coming back to this sensory heart that I mentioned earlier. You can use your feeling space a lot more than you are to intuit the world, and to navigate it in a more peaceful and conflict-free way.

So for example, if you are saying, “Well, why isn’t this thing working in my life right now?” Trust that things aren’t meant to work at this moment in time, but perhaps they will very soon. Or your plan needs to change and sitting back for a few days will help you see that.
Our human minds have a very small view of this whole planet and our whole way of interacting. Our soul mind is vast and endless, but, in the experience of being human and bringing more consciousness to your life and the planet, we all inhabit our human 'small mind' at times. But beyond that there is consciousness. And consciousness knows EXACTLY the reason your book is not finished yet. And it will most often be not because you have a problem with writers block, but because the world is not ready for your book yet.

As someone who has been a regular creator for ten years, it’s been one of the greatest lessons I’ve learnt as a creator. If you’re creating something for the outside world, whether those people are already there and waiting for it (the family you are organising that trip for) or whether you're hoping over the coming years it will be seen and experienced by people (the book you are writing for public release); you have to understand that your blocks can be as much to do with the audience that are waiting for it. And often it is that they’re not ready to receive this experience/ piece of information right now, as much as it is anything to do with you.

So if you are in that state of attacking yourself or judging yourself for what’s going wrong with you and your plans, try and take a breath. Surrender to the fact it isn't working, breathe and you will start to release that tension and frustration you now feel.
Try to remember, daily, that there are a whole lot of crazy, rapidly tornado-ing experiences going on out there around you. And many people are spinning off their center unless they are aware; "Wow. This is a more chaotic time. So I need to adjust the way I’m operating".
Not everybody is acknowledging this, so their unconscious behaviours are getting louder so that they might catch their own attention.

What’s happening as a result is a lot of people are running even harder in the outside world, thinking they can make it work if they put more effort in, which right now creates more chaos. It is also because they don’t want to slow down and feel what’s inside them, which is something we can all empathize with and understand from our own lives.
So be compassionate with your boundaries wherever you can, as you never know the size of fear that is driving someone's reactive behavior.

So, final point for this month – and this applies to the month of August also.

In recent years, we have seen certain months and certain time periods where it has felt like the energy ceiling is limitless to us, and all of a sudden there is this wave of energy moving through, opening us deeply and quickly. And on a certain week or a certain month so much can happen in your life because of this. So much can suddenly arrive that felt like it was missing before.

What we’ve noticed in the last year or two as a people is everything that a few years ago may have taken a week to experience, now happens within half a day. And then in the second half of the day the energy has changed again and you are experiencing another strong energy experience. Most of us are getting used to this now, but it still means we have to learn to become very nimble on our toes and keep moving and not get attached to any one state. We need not get attached to the 'joy' state that you were in this morning; because if you have to let go of joy (because suddenly you feel tired and you serve the tiredness with a nap or a rest), the joy will come back later.

This is the way of 'Consciousness Dancing' that we’re all having to learn in a very human way on the planet right now. 
How do I bring this sense of consciousness, this sense of my sensory ability out into the world? And every day, it is a new learning or experiencing.

And the truth is many of you feel frustrated about what you can’t bring out to the world or into your life. 
But that’s because this is a delicate process. We can’t just wake up, feel more alive and conscious and suddenly throw that energy out at the world or force it on the world. 
We’re still figuring out how to nurture it inside ourselves AND how to be in the outside world at an all new level than we’ve ever been.

Before we might have been running out there, running our energy through people and activities; nowadays we’ll still have our energy out there with people, but first and foremost how big is this part of you inside yourself? How full is this heart chakra feeling for YOU? As focusing in that direction means you will naturally emanate more heart energy to others when in their presence.

So my point is: rather than you being able to do bold ventures out into the world at the moment, because the energy  climate is so tumultuous and it changes so quickly, the place to really learn to exist and create from now is in here (Lee points to his heart chakra). 
If you can exist from this heart center and really allow yourself to feel everything that’s going on in the world, you’re going to be far more successful in how you operate.

I’ll give you an example.  If I came up to you at a party – and I’m going to demonstrate now – this is me excitable and in my head. (Excitedly and bouncing around) “Oh hi! Wow, it’s great to see you! Oh man, there is so much going on and da-da-da-da…”

Now, it’s really tempting if you had me in front of you, to start traveling to join that frenetic energy. Now I know some of your are laughing going, “Ha! I’d be pulling back!”  And I’d be like you, most of you.

But the point is: can you just stay here in yourself EXACTLY where you were, when this frenetic person is doing this in front of you?
Because, in the past so many of us got caught into other people’s energy pathways. Either being pulled into or repelled by them.

And that’s what the last few years have been all about. How do you remain connected to yourself while knowing that you are still connected to others? And how do you remain connected to your heart center in every moment, even if the person in front of you is not yet sitting in theirs?

So if you have ambitions or if you have big desires at this time, try and keep bringing them into the smaller reality, because that way big things will happen. Focus on one small step at a time. Large projects in the next few months will do best when focused on in a small, detail- oriented way, and anything beyond that is likely to feel overwhelming.

And if you are frustrated as you have a big burning ambition or some massive change you want to employ in your life, ask yourself what’s really underneath it driving the frustration? Because there will usually be some discomfort you are trying to solve. For example, if the wish is "I wish I had an amazing career" you might find that the driving force in that sentence is "So I didn’t have to feel so depressed about the state of the world." 
Well, know that, if you get that amazing career, the depression about the world would rise in some other way at some point.

So be with your feelings about the world FIRST and clear how that feels in you as much as you can, so that your dreams aren't being tethered to your sense of loss, fear or pain. In these summer months, things won't fly unless they have clear energy around them.
Daily practices: meditate, take ten minutes a day to be with trees, get ten minutes a day of sunlight – that’s really important. That was a message from The Z’s in last month’s Q + A broadcast.

Sunlight right now is really helping the DNA and the cellular changes that we’re going through to integrate. So, 10-15 minutes of sunlight a day as a practise.

So everybody, I hope you have a really good July.

I will be back in the fall. I’m not going to be doing an Energy Forecast in August so I designed this one to apply through August also. 

And in the fall, I have an exciting new video series that we are working on right now that we will look forward to unveiling for you.

If you want to stay in touch with me in the meantime, there are daily quotes on Facebook, which you can find here. And I do a Live Q + A Broadcast in The Portal every month. 
You can check out The Portal and all the great things in there here.

So have a great summer everyone and see you in Autumn.

Lots of love,
Lee"
