Buddha and Selenite upon my landing.
Sometimes you just have to Listen to that Inner Voice, and since the beginning of December I have been in need of just sitting in my quiet time, meditating and breathing in the peace I so needed..So how do you explain?
So I will embark upon a story…. And hope as the narrative is guided we may both emerge wiser from reading.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
For weeks the Woman had found herself crying at the least little thing, her nerves shattered as the world about her seemed to dissolve into yet more madness. She would take herself off to her favourite places and talk to the trees as she pressed herself close to their strength, they absorbed her fears and she would return home feeling brighter.
But her nights were tormented by a sea of faces; she felt the cords of long ago pulling and weighing her heart down. Her empathy reached out and joined a part of everyone, she knew she needed to let go, learning to detach from outcomes, for she also knew within her being that ALL things were meant to pass, and that her journey was like many others was all part of the Universal plan. She needed to remember others too had chosen their path along their own particular road.
Her sleep was fitful, filled with dreams, which seemed to contain so many children’s faces. Large sad eyes, haunted with fear. The children were in the ocean, shouting for help, she would dive deep to pull them up one by one, but there were too many to save… She would swim to shore with jagged rocks, and lift the children up to those stood on the shore to be saved. But they folded their arms and turned away, saying they were not their responsibility. She trod water pleading for them to hold out their arms to take the children, but all looked away…. She sunk back into the ocean, into the cold blackness and would awake with the taste of salt upon her skin..
Her waking hours she would read many others thoughts and find so many synchronicities of similar emotions being expressed and she knew the energies right now were gathering momentum for Change.. And those who were in tune were also feeling the need to withdraw and send out love and compassion… She also knew from her guides that she would be tested, to keep her patience and hold her peace, as others would try to sap and unbalance her energy…. So she would walk, and garden and keep her own council.

Autumn Home Garden
It was while the woman was in the garden one morning that she was trying to interpret another dream and again the message was about the state of the world and her role within it.. She felt so heavy so sad that she could feel so many hearts all at once… She continued planting the plants that would bring forth the flowers in Spring.. But the tears blinded her and her hands shook. She collapsed to her knees in great sobs, as the world closed in on her shoulders… She knew she had to let go of all the past hurts, all the past injustices, and she knew she could not carry the weight of others. She cried out as if in pain asking the Universe to take away the burdens she was choosing to carry..
She looked up as a ray of light broke through the misty gloom of the Grey overcast December day and couldn’t believe her eyes… For there fluttering right above her head was a Peacock Butterfly, it hovered over her for maybe a minute flying around in circles.. She was motionless, speechless and watched as it disappeared as it flew into the Sun…

Peacock Butterfly taken Last year.
She cried even harder, but now her tears released something inside that had long been held within.. She opened her heart and understood… We need the Compassion, and only through such pain can compassion be felt.. So many souls choosing their paths, each within their own journeys within this time frame going through their own experiences. Choosing to release and let go too of possessions of this Material World..
The butterfly the symbol of Transformation.. She knew within her inner knowing Now was the time of Great Change..
And it was time to LET GO, and TRUST in the Universal Plan..
To be continued ..

You have been in my thoughts dear Sue. Glad to see you here in my reader. The life
of an empath/medium is not an easy path. Finding a way to balance shows you also have compassion for the spark within you. Looking forward to Part 2. Hope you also received my email.
lots of hugs to warm the heart,
❤ Linda

Dear Linda so lovely to hear from you.. and yes an empathic/medium is at times an emotional journey.. One I usually cope with.. But I think there are some powerful energies around right now.. No doubt Linda You would be the better one to consult about that… I am working my way down my email list today.. So I will look forward to reading yours..

900 emails and you they are not job related, oh my! I hope many are social/pleasant in nature. The energies effect us all differently according to our charts and our level of vibration. Both are in flux. With your time of birth I would be able to understand more of what is triggering you. But I will take a look at your info to see if something leaps out 🙂 You are strong, but do not always look after your self. You already know this 🙂 wishing you peace …. <3<3<3

I didn’t know that butterflies were a symbol of transformation. After my dad died, I spent a lot of time in the yard pulling weeds and building retaining walls. I can remember quite a few times breaking down in tears and would notice a butterfly circling me. I’m looking forward to part 2 as well, I’m learning to listen to my inner self instead of ignoring it, or thinking I’m just crazy. Thank you for the beautiful lessons you are sharing.

Thanks for sharing this touching story. A butterfly in December brings a message of solace. How beautiful! I love it how we are given signs and synchronicities of the oddest nature which give us comfort.
This reminds me of a story I have to share. When my daughter was little, she asked me, “Mom, are angels real?”
I hesitated a while, thinking about what to answer , and then said, “Yes, they are real, but they speak with a low voice and we must be very still if we want to hear them.”
Then, we went to her room and opened the window. It was a cold winter night.
And what came through the window? A ladybug. In a cold winter night. It came in and flew right onto my heart!
I wish you inner peace despite the turmoil in the world.
Blessings,
Karin

You gaged that just right DW….To grow stronger and fly away we must unload all that no longer sincerely holds meaning in our life. Creator never meant for us to . be without, but he most certainly meant for us to hold onto only that which adds true meaning to our lives. We have all come to that door in the stone wall now where we must decide to either walk back away from it and turn around or lighten our load and go through it into the new world. We are at that precipice right now. Love, hugs and courage to us all 🙂 VK ❤

Sue you speak of the heavy burden that lost souls searching for the peace carry. We who wander this earth so desperately crave comfort and joy from our brothers and sisters. We get lost inside this burden and seek to release the pain that weighs us down. I feel that burden and the pain and I am right here trying to help you carry it until we can let it go. Well express words, Sue.

Yes Kim often our empathic natures absorb more than we can carry.. Understanding what is ‘De-pressing’ down upon us is not always our own burdens.. Learning to distinguish can often take time and be hard, And sometimes we fail to adequately cloth ourselves in our own protection and leave ourselves open for energies to infiltrate .. a lesson I am always learning as I give out of my self and de-pleat my own energies… Lessons are to be learned and I duly take on board my own responsibility in regards to this…
A pain shared is as they say halved.. But please also remember your own energy levels and state of health too dear Kim… I graciously accept your thought ways as you send them out.. Now we must both let go…. And Heal… xxx Love to you and Thank you so much.. ❤

Yes the butterfly Jack was a great sign, and it often will turn up when I am in sore need of its message… The miracle it turned up in December.
Yes all things are in transit.. Change is ongoing, and we each have to learn how to adapt and change our perceptions as we let go of old ways of thoughts passed down throughout time in our history.. Change will always be challenging because no one likes to feel insecure as new forms of being and ways are introduced.. But the world is right now changing rapidly.. and I pass on a link from Nadira to you which I know you will find very interesting..

I read the story of the Lady with great interest,I know that she always has something important to share with us and that she sends strong messages out to the world.Now,I can clearly see what was churning within the grey matter and the heart of Gaia.Bleak northern winters are long and the skies get dark and overcast,but the sun is always shining even behind the black minatory clouds.Such an outburst of emotions and thoughts channeled methodically in your post dear Sue!You are so compassionate and caring,you bear the burden of the others on your shoulders,but you never feel indignant;on the contrary you try to mediate to do something to alleviate the pain of others and of the world.The situation right now all over the world is like a Gordian Knot and we all wonder who is going to cut the knot and restore justice and peace.If we all had the power and the strenght like you to seek the perpetual light which exists in the universe,the much needed changes would arrive earlier in our world.But I strongly believe that no darkness can overcome the light.I closely follow your thoughts and your anxieties,I am a fortunate recipient and try to help to untying the knot … Opposing forces and influences bombard on us,but we try to keep balance and let nothing disturb our equilibrium.Off to your next post (part II ) my good friend ❤ xxx
