Caterpillar visits once more to encourage you in all you're creating. The process has been a long one & isn't yet finished, but there's much beauty in the very process itself. As you work, remind yourself that the more energy you put toward your goal, the more energy will follow, & this upward spiral will take you to completion. If you're tired, rest; if you're hungry, then eat, but don't allow distractions to make you lose sight of your goal.

There's a lot of good information available to you now through your intuition, as well as from your emotional body. Listen to that inner voice, ask for relevant dreams, write down everything that comes to mind, for there may be real treasure for the taking. Allow for corrections to take place as the process unfolds; be flexible, as this will save time later. The Universe knows what your best outcome is once you have put the intention out there, so just don't assume you know everything about how to get there. The variety of experience available to you now is really vast if you will work diligently & approach quietly the inner well of resource.

Watch for predators; camoflage well your work so it will remain hidden & strong until it's ready for the world to see. Don't allow the opinions of others, no matter how well intentioned to undermine your efforts. Remember that much jealousy can be hidden behind a smile.

Blessings, Val

Animal Totem Energy For the Week of Nov. 28

Caterpillar comes this week to remind us that we're still not ready to show the world our wonderful ideas. The life phase of caterpillar is one of strengthening and preparing, so we find ourselves given more time to clarify, add to, and perfect what we've been working on. (Actually good energy for this time before the holidays when we may be keeping gifts secret for those we love). The energy of caterpillar is quite delicate, so once again, keep your projects and ideas close to your heart and pursue their fulfillment so when you do bring them out into the world, they'll be as perfect as you can make them.

There is also still the possibility of someone actually trying to block our path, so don't just trust without investigation. If you have been keeping up with this blog, you'll remember that this energy of potential sabotage has been going on for awhile, so be patient.

Because caterpillar sheds his skin several times before journeying on to his butterfly stage, he reminds us that in order for new ideas to manifest, old beliefs must be discarded. So, as you're preparing, remember to catch any worn out ideas, plans, goals, or even people that are no longer empowering to you at this time. Anything you keep by you out of fear or sentimentality will only block your creative flow.

Caterpillar focuses on one thing: getting strong so he will have enough energy to go through the great transformation into butterfly. He doesn't scatter his energies, but finds the best, most beneficial foods, and eats his way to strength. Follow caterpillar's example and husband your energies in secret so when the time comes, what you're ready to give to the world will be at its most splendid.

Blessings, Val
