Sacred Animals.
This might sound weird and stupid to some, but every time I need guidance, I find it in animals.
Animals bring messages that always align perfectly with what I'm going through. The other day, while I was at @GabbyBernstein's book event, she guided us through a meditation to get a message from our guides in the end. To my surprise, the first thing that came to my mind was a turtle.
Earlier that day, her team had also given us cute message cards. We were supposed to get one that spoke to us (they were facing down so we didn't see what they said until we picked them). Mine was about being patient and letting the Universe figure out and work on what I couldn't. Later that night, when I came home, I searched for the "medicine" that the turtle brings. The message of the turtle is to go at your own rhythm, not get anxious and be patient.
I smiled, and I'm smiling again as I read this because I was trying so hard to change my current situation quickly that I was getting desperate and I didn't wanna feel like that anymore. So, receiving this message filled my heart with hope and calm, which is exactly what I needed.
If a random animal makes its way into your life, I suggest that you google their "medicine" or their "meaning". These magical creatures are so much wiser than us that we need to be grateful every time they come to us. They're here to support us and guide us through rough times, so learn from them, love them and respect them. We need them way more than they need us.
