Feathers – Restoration
Fall… autumn is replacing summer. Days are starting to get shorter, remarkably so in the mornings.
Shamans decorate their robes with feathers from birds that have special significance. In that moment when they attach the feather the believe they receive a gift of the beauty and freed, strength and power of the bird who lost it. Feathers are sacred.
This summer has brought you many experiences. Happiness, sadness, confusion; all these emotions have helped you grow. Now take a breath and slow down and appreciate the world.
To find a feather lost by a bird flying freely over head is a message that your guardians are with you and looking after you. A feather is incredibly personal to your current circumstances, dreams, and goals.
As you rest and recuperate, you are asked to restore your sense of direction.
All the worries, trials and tribulations of the past need to be set aside. Do not carry them like old clothes that should be disposed of.
The feather is a message to let go of the worries and pains of living. Life it is not all about worries and struggle, there has to be time for your soul to rest.
There has to be time for you look up and forward to the new world being created around you.
The feather brings a sense of freedom that only a bird can give. Take this time to refresh yourself, become more grounded and in tune with your spirit. A bird that is not in tune with itself has difficulty flying.
New opportunities arriving in the rest of the year will challenge you. You will need to restore your old energies and strength to bring you back in tune with your life path, your dreams, and your hopes.
