Often when I am doing an activation, I am joined by ancestral elders from ancient tribes. They joined me for some of my 11/11 to 21/12 activations at the end of last year (2021). The ancestors first started to try to get my attention back in 2018, but it took me a while to realise they wanted us to work together. Now of course I avail myself so they can work through me and with me.


Curious I looked back through my notes and found a powerful connection back in June 2018. I share this with you today because it brought me a strong feeling of support and hope. It is also a reminder of our connection to nature and the importance of remembering to connect to the Earth. I am trusting that you too will find power and guidance in the message I received. 

As I sank deep into meditation I saw and felt the purification of beings of the indigo flame. I felt my body as a community rather than as an individual, with all the bacteria and cells lighting up.

I had various flashes of images e.g. walking across a road in Australia towards eucalyptus trees, that seemed unrelated. Then I saw a cheetah prowling. African tribesmen appeared wearing bones, teeth and leopard-skins, beating drums and dancing on the bare Earth. 

Next I saw yellow light coming down from a mountain that was filling our solar plexus area. My solar plexus area felt warm and peaceful. 

Then an Aboriginal elder came up close and was talking to me. I’m not sure what he was saying, but it was something about the Dreamtime becoming active. 

We were anointed with paint on our faces and I could feel the vibration of the sticks and the drumming. 

One of the elders wanted to communicate:

“It is a time of transition. There has been a yearning since before the beginning of time and the yearning is coming to fruition. Beat the drum of the Earth. Dance the steps of the Earth. Honour the unity of all that exists and all that does not exist. The groundwork is being laid and the connections are being made, for it is time. 

You saw the unity of everything. You are not an individual, you are a collective whole. A community resides in the form of your bodily self. Today all beings were activated and you shone brightly as a collective whole that you identify as yourself. 

This activation awoke the feline totem in the form of the cheetah. The stealth of the Earth, the speed and the beauty. It is time to run with all that you know and don’t know, and speedily. But do not lose touch with the Earth. Streamline everything and pay attention to detail. The beauty is in the being. 

The earthly ancestors with a deep and ancient connection to the Earth are performing ceremonies of dance, drumming and sticks. The Dreamtime is awakening. Become aware of what comes to you in your dreams in the day and night. The ancient ancestors are communicating with you, for they are working to create the foundation, preparing the Earth, and resonating with the vibration of the ancient yearning.

Yellow light is swirling down from the mountains, activating your solar plexus, your core strength and your will. An initiation has taken place, to strengthen your core. The beings of the indigo flame are active, purifying; purifying, yourselves and everything. A magnificent space is being created of great power, infused with yellow light. 

The cheetah prowls and the tribal elders are gathering. Dance with your feet on the Earth and beat your sticks. Join the vibration of transition. 

Do everything you can to connect to the energy of the transition, of the foundation. Wear earthy colours, browns and yellows, animal prints, tiger’s eye. There is a primal energy moving across the Earth and out from the centre of the Earth, and the energy needs to be worked with as it gains momentum. 

You saw the tribal elders gathering, ancient chiefs from the Aboriginal peoples and African tribes. Feel the resonance in your heart. This is the beat of their drums and sticks and the vibration of their feet on the Earth as they dance, walk and chant. 

You have been anointed and you are to unite with them in the energy of transition. Send this energy out, out to the heavens and beyond. It is a gift from the Earth’s core. 

The cheetah is prowling, light and joyous with the vibration of the celebrations. A regal creature of stealth and prowess, a symbol of the wild being tamed. An offering of strength and focus, of power and opulence.”

Let's gather the power of Cheetah in our solar plexus, connect to the Earth, be alert for the wisdom of the ancestors and stand strong in our navigation of these turbulent times.

Wow, I can't believe how much time has slipped though my fingers since I last posted here! I haven't been totally neglectful, however. I did complete my 40 day 11/11 to 21/12 activation series and set up a YouTube Channel — Snowdrop Soul Detective — where I have posted the videos of the activations. Please check these out, as they are powerful and usually only 20 minutes long and rarely more than 30 minutes. Click here to view: Snowdrop Soul Detective

And then of course it was Christmas and New Year! HAPPY NEW YEAR! Here's to a beautiful 2022, trusting that the universe is unfolding to support our growth as we blossom into our own authenticity and truth — without expectation!

Continuing the messages I am relaying from my journey over the past few years, I came across a beautifully simple message I received under Kauri that seems so apt and perfect for the next steps of navigating 2022.

One day I had been pushing myself to follow instructions from my higher self and guides. I did writing, delved into my childhood and endeavoured to unearth things using a prompt I had found  —  “What story do you repeatedly tell about yourself that is not true”. I wrote and wrote about all sorts of memories and things. Then I went for a barefoot walk across our property and sat under a kauri tree. 

When I sat under the kauri, it was like I was zoomed back through the aeons, back in time to timelessness, back through space to spacelessness, to all that is. Dear old Kauri, such medicine for the soul — my mind immediately quietened and expanded out into the infinite peace of all that is, no need for techniques or mantra’s. Thank you Kauri!

I looked up into the branches of the kauri and there was a tiny little spider struggling across its thin line of ‘web silk’, caught in “no mans land” between two branches. Yet I had the perspective of seeing the bigger picture, where it had been and where it was going, knowing that it would persist and make it across, even though it felt in a void at that moment. The tiny spider continued on with trust and understanding that its path would be completed even though it didn’t have my external perspective. A lightbulb went on for me.

I looked away to ponder and when I looked back the spider had disappeared. It was like once I had received its message it was gone.

My thoughts returned to my childhood. I became aware that it is not so much what was done or said to me when I was a child, as what was held back. The inadequacy and the holding back of those around me. The inability to be more enlivened role models. The emptiness. 

I understood and forgave both them and myself. I realised wherein lay one of the stories I told about myself and that the telling was not so much in the voicing but rather in my behaviour and being. I ended up "telling a story" of my own inadequacy by the assumptions I made and how I consequently always held myself back.

I offered my heart felt gratitude to the dear old tree, and also apology for how our some of our ancestors treated the kauri, with their wholesale chopping down of such great ancient wisdom. The obliterating of the wise ones of the forests, the ancestor trees that held such pivotal positions in the community of the kauris, all chopped down at their knees. Thank you so much kauri for your wisdom and humble acceptance. For your offerings to me this morning as you hold such sacred space.

I closed my eyes and saw a beautiful bright, bright sunrise. I heard: 

“See how much brighter the light is shining today. The new dawn is coming and you are becoming clearer and clearer and everything is lighter and lighter.

We are so proud of you and applaud you for going within, for your recognition and understanding. See how much clearer you feel. Feel how much more expanded and brighter you are and accordingly the world is brighter. 

See how easy it is when you apply yourself, to follow instructions. 

What a release it is to write and then find solace in nature and Mother Earth; to free yourself of blockages. How quickly you come to understanding and how free you feel.

That is all you need to do, for you are dear and you are gently brave and truly vigilant. 

As you go within, you come closer to the sacred and the sacred moves closer to you. It is enough. It is enough and it is more than enough. It is all and everything.”

I felt at peace and such bliss.

It is in this space that encourage you to step into 2022 without expectation. Experiencing, with every cell of your body, your own brilliance — totally accepting, humble and very very grateful.

As you know I have been digging out and sharing many of the messages I have received over the past three years. This process has been a brilliant opportunity for me to receive the wisdom that has been gifted to me. Wisdom that would otherwise have been locked away, in all honesty, in documents on my computer or in journals, forgotten about.

I have been blown away by the magic of the wisdom.

This week I have been gifted insight into the power and magic of the wisdom.

The message that I am sharing with you today, I first pulled out and read about a week ago. It was from a time when I was totally confused about who I was, my purpose, how to organise my time or what actions to take. I ummed and aahhed about whether to share it. I read through it, put it aside. A couple of days later I read through it again, put it aside… Yesterday I pulled it up again, read through it, but still didn’t post it. Was it just for me? How would it be serving everyone?

Today a lightbulb has gone on and I am in awe. Wow! As I look back over the past week the essential messages in this transcript have been made manifest. No not pansies and autumn leaves for they are metaphorical, but a clearer, more centred, calmer me.

A week ago I had fallen back into patterns of self doubt and being totally unclear again about who I am and the point of doing anything, exacerbated by the current circumstances we find ourselves in where freedoms are being eroded and so many things do not make sense. I was paralysed with uncertainty.

Today I sit here feeling clear, strong with warmth radiating from the inside out. Clarity has come to me over the past few days through conversations that I have ‘happened to have”, signs in nature, shifts in my inner being, a beautiful unfolding of simple synchronicities…and taking inspired action…

So I share these powerful words with you to see what they unearth for you, remembering that so often the shifts and changes are not obvious at first…

The particular meditation I experience was a bit of a jumble of thoughts and images that came to me: white-robed, dog-headed beings from Ancient Egypt, then I saw a purple wild pansy, then me walking down a path of old brown leaves, just seeing the leaves but nothing else. Then I saw the kingfisher, then a dolphin, then my thoughts flashed to new recollections from my past… It was all quite peaceful, but also emotionally moving.

Then I heard:

“I am your higher self, and I am always available, always for your highest good. Today you have come to new realisations. We have been building layer upon layer of stimulating messages and drawing things to your attention to prime you to come to your own conclusions. You have been vigilant, watchful, congratulations.

This is how your life is to be and we are training you to be watchful, to notice, to understand and to act from the inspired place of vigilance. The kingfisher is happy, the dolphin is full of joy.

You have been treading through a long Autumn of your soul, with old remnants of the person who you thought you were, crunching gently underfoot. There has been nothing to see in the remnants but a brown crunchy pathway that has gone on relentlessly. You have not been clear.

Your whole life you have not been clear. And so you have had no direction. You have wandered aimlessly and until this time, you have not been clear so it has been difficult for us to support who you truly are.

But Spring is starting to appear amongst the dead leaves. There is the vivid colour of clarity and the simple majesty of nature’s blossoming. You are the beautiful pansy, the regal but simple bloom that is starting to appear amongst the dead leaves.

With clarity, you are able to become more decisive about who you are and what you want and how you schedule your time.

The dolphin has appeared to remind you of the joy that will accompany you on your path from this point foreword.

The kingfisher is animated because your lessons are starting to be learnt.

The ancient ancestors are forming in a line of celebration because you are making the important connections that will bring everything together.

Nothing is a coincidence and nothing is false imagination. You are starting to trust and know and with that new clarity a new direction is unfolding.

We are here with arms open, waiting for you to step forward with clarity and definitive direction.”

The next day I woke up to hear:

“Wake up wake up, it is time to become clear. It is important that you notice the signs and messages that you are given.

We are pleased with your progress but you need to go deeper still. What is holding you back and what is your deepest fear? You do know, you know what is in your heart. What is it that stops and cuts out so that can’t hear or see?

Stop treading the same old, same old. Tread a new path. Tread a path that is bounded by the colour and majesty of flowers. Flowers are so dear to your heart. Watch for flowers. What do they speak to you?

Fallen leaves are stirring up old news, old experiences and feelings from the past and that is all part of the cycle. But notice when this purification is coming to a close for now and step onto a path of roses and pansies. For blossoming comes from the debris of the forest.

Take note of everything and watch for the messages. Everything is coming together if you only follow through.”

All things happen in perfect divine timing. This message got put away at the time with so many others that were coming at me so thick and fast. But it came to the surface just when I needed it. I hope it brings powerful transformative magic for you too.

As I journeyed through the lessons from the unseen I reached deeper and deeper understandings of life's secrets. The Kingfisher followed Eagle whose messages I have shared in earlier posts. Then so many visions and messages poured in.

As I sank into the silence on 28 April 2018 I at first saw debris on a forest floor, but as I looked up I saw a panda amongst some bamboo. At first the panda was eating the bamboo, but then he moved away. I followed the panda to a temple in a clearing up some craggy rocks. I sat cross legged in the clearing in front of the temple. There was a man with a golden robe standing if in front of the temple who instructed me to sit in quiet contemplation. He said the temple itself was not of importance, but rather to make the space to sit.

The Earth opened up and glowed golden from inside and I felt the warmth of the glow in my stomach area. It was like I became the Earth, then I moved beyond the Earth and became one with everything, out beyond our universe. I connected with the Creator. It was such a peaceful and warm feeling. Eventually I came back to the clearing where I was sitting.

This is what the golden-robed man told me:
“Look above and beyond the debris of the material world, where things can seem so congested and confused. Look beyond and follow the trail that is laid before you. Things will become more clear cut, more black and white and you will know what trail to follow.

The true trail will always lead you to yourself, to inside yourself, to the Earth and to the Creator. There are many paths but it will become clear which paths are to be followed and you will create a new path that is in tune with the coming era. But be patient and still. Go within, study with those who present themselves and listen. Be true to your heart.

Be flexible, like the bamboo, but also pay attention to that which is black and white, that which calls out to you clearly. You will know and you will see. The confusion and distraction will dissolve because you have given yourself space. You stop focussing on the confusion on the ground and you are looking beyond the bending bamboo to the strong presence of the panda.

But remember the bamboo thrives on the humous and debris of the forest floor and the panda feeds on the bamboo, so everything is in order. It is a trail. The art is to remove yourself from becoming lost in each element of the trail, to detach yourself enough to know when to feast and when to move on, when to look and when to withdraw. And when you think you have reached a destination, know it is only a vehicle to what lies beyond, always through the Earth beyond to the Creator.

Your goal is to be at one with the Creator whilst being a living expression of the Creator's desired aspect through you — understanding that this ‘being at one’ is always unfolding and never static. It is always a moving towards, as well as a moving away. Always a becoming of what truly is. To remain in this beautiful ecstasy of unfoldment, this moves you beyond everything, into nothing, wherein lies the eternal power.”

The day after the Japanese woman came to me I was greeted by a close up eye of an eagle blinking at me. I went through his eye and became one with him and we soared up into the sky. It felt so peaceful.

He talked to me about how he can see afar, but that he always stays present. It was a lesson about not racing off ahead in time or space. He sees afar, but he is always focussed and sees clearly. He stays calm, always in his heart. He outstretched his long wings and I felt how this expanded his heart space.

He also bathed in the blue pool that had appeared in previous meditations — it was so refreshing, shaking his feathers and wiggling his wings and body. When next soaring up we saw smoke/ash arising from some volcanos, but everything felt so peaceful, like everything was in perfect order. In the distance the Christ light was shining from a mountain. The sky was golden with the light and we landed on Christ’s head to look out from that perspective, then soared off taking some of the light with us to distribute.

This is what Eagle told me:

“I soar and climb to great heights, but I am always grounded. I took you on the journey with me so you could feel how I connect, even when I am soaring high. I see everything but I see nothing, I am detached. But I am acutely focussed so I see everything in the great nothing. 

I fly from my heart and my wings stretch out from my heart centre. I see with my eye, but I am really seeing with my heart. When I land I am connecting to our dear mother Earth and when I take off, I take her energy with me. It travels up through my feet, through my body, up through my heart. You feel my joy, the joy of flight. I see from my head, but also my heart. 

My head is so tiny and my eye so big, because I have little need for thought, no worries to trouble me. You felt how calm I flied, how peaceful in every moment. Soaring up always in the present, seeing everything and nothing, always alert, and when necessary I register and focus and reach my target. Then again I soar, ever present. So even though I can look into the distance, I stay present. The future is not my concern, only the ever unfolding present. 

My soaring and gliding and sharp focussing as well as seeing the big picture are my special skills. So I stay with them, and you see how I am revered, those who witness me are in awe. Because I am at one with my skills and talents and stay with them, I am them and they are me. They are not many, but they are me and I do them to the best of my ability with pure heartfelt joy and ease, in every present moment. That is what makes me what I am. And in so doing I can see everything, I can soar, I connect to the great Mother and the great Father. I am free and I am at peace. 

Have you yet learned to unleash your freedom and inner peace by being who you are? So much freedom and peace awaits, so much freedom and peace. I can see it and I can feel it. It is in every part of me as I am what I am.

Unfold your wings, activate your heart and soar, be free and at peace.”
​Thank you Eagle.

A few days ago as I was lying on our dear Earth, having a soothing Earth bath, I was enchanted by a group of rosellas chasing each other with such vibrancy and joy. A poem started to unfold, but it wasn't complete. Having just spent a few days with the colourful souls of those who gathered for this year's Earth Beat festival here In New Zealand, I awoke this morning to the true significance of those colourful feathers, and the truth and freedom with which they fly.

Rainbow wings
Of love and peace
Bringing such joy
For my soul’s release

Flying together
Such a colourful sight
Your individualities
Shining bright

Flying, playing chase
One after the other
Your cheeping cheers 
No secrets smother

Having such fun
Coming together
Revealing your truth
In your colourful feathers

Stirring my heart
Igniting my soul
Lifting me up
To merge with the whole.

Thank you beautiful rosellas and thank you Earth Beat, 2021.

A beautiful reminder from nature came to me yesterday with the vision of a beautiful white lily in a murky pond. We are reminded to stand clearly in our authenticity for all to see. Thank you beautiful lily.

Lily flower so pure and white
Shining your eternal light
Reaching out beyond the mire
Clearly defined, how you inspire

Quietly humble, yet with no doubt
Petals divinely reaching out
From the jewel at your core
Beautiful flower, I thee adore

Simply being for all to see
Standing in authenticity
No pretension, nothing more
Than being a you we can’t ignore.

The other day I was sitting out in nature enjoying the beautiful sunshine of early spring when a very yang, sun-kissed being came to commune with me. This is what they said: 

“Be the great I am. Be awesome. Be more than, because you are, you are.

I am awesome, I am more than, I am awesome. I am more than.

I am the great I am because light penetrates every cell of my body when I am open to receive.

I feel the full magnificence of this light and I can transmit this light out into the universes and beyond, connecting with the great I am, because I am, I am, I am.

Feel the light. Be the light. Feel the light. Be the light.

The light is without gender. It is simply a bringing together of yin and yang and is seen according to what you are attracting. You attract the elements of who you are and thus you see the great I Am accordingly; because the great I Am is simply vibration, as all of this universe and the multiverses are vibration.

All is yin and yang. All is. All is all and all is nothing. All is all and all is nothing.

So be the great I am. Knowing that what you project out is that which you receive back. So when you perceive according to the structures of all that has been, then you are creating more of what has been.

But you have been implanted with the seed of creation. So you can create anew, when you can see beyond the structures of that which has been before; and that is the true manifestation of  heaven on earth. That is the true manifestation of heaven on earth. To be beyond all that has been. 

So engage your heart. Engage your light. Engage your curiosity. Engage your inner child and play the game of let’s pretend. This is why why you go through this phase in your up-bringing, the phase of let’s pretend; because this is the key to being who you truly are and to creating what you truly desire. So engage in let’s pretend.

Engage in let’s pretend so you can be beyond all that has been. You can see beyond the structures of what has come before; and you can manifest that which is in your heart, that which you truly desire. That which comes from deep within the inner core of your being. That is the true reflection of the great I am. Because it is. It simply is. 

It is a clean slate. It is expansiveness. It is more than. It is nothing less than. It is. 

It is bright and shiny. It is dark and deep. It is all that is. And it is there to be played with. To make manifest that which is of your own creation; that which is of your own creation. 

This is the importance of going within. To find the great I am. The great expansiveness of all that is and nothing at the same time. The clean slate, the clean slate from which you can create your heart’s desire.

That which is unstemmed by past belief. That which is without constraint. That which is without preconceived ideas and preconceptions. That which is with all and everything, unlimited; Limitless.  Beyond comprehension, but to be comprehended none-the-less.”

The being shared with me a prayer of appreciation of the sun:

“Great sun I welcome thy light into my life. Great sun I am an open receiver of your energy to recharge my batteries and connect that energy to the earth. Through the electric circuitry of my body so that the earth can nourish and be nourished and survive and flourish.” 

Then the being gave me further instruction:

“Expand, vibrating out through you so that you can amplify this energy of light and being and limitlessness and endless possibilities. Activating your heart so that you can live within your heart, your activated heart of higher possibilities and expansive everything, and expansiveness of all that is — of manifestation, of fulfilment, of joy, of beauty of love, of peace of harmony of all that is. Of cherishing the past and being open to the endless possibilities of the future. To be without constraint. To love what has been, to forgive all that has been. To know all there is to know and to be all there is to be. This is the space of the great I am, the great I am, your divinity unlimited.”

The being sung to me before concluding:

“May all unfold as in your deepest heart’s desire”.

Please click on the Audio File below, if you would like to hear the actual transmission of this download. I usually record what I receive and I am being prompted to share this with you. eventually I will find the courage to do this live and via video.

In my meditation yesterday, out in nature on our property, the photo of me as a baby sitting on the grass came to me (see bottom right), which is why I posted it in our Snowdrop Facebook group yesterday. 

I was asked to see the light of my truth shining in that picture. I was told that this is the truth of authenticity and that this is the light we are born to send out to the world. It is the light that shines within, that we are all yearning to rediscover, so that we may shine this light out to the world.

Then Tui settled nearby to sing to me. I was told: “Tui has come today to rejoice in you taking this time out to go within. To sing the song of his truth in reflection of you singing the song of your own truth. Such joy he sings with, such beautiful joy. Take your song out to the world, for it is the song of truth and joy. It is the song of the light which shines within, that we are all born with. You are each born to shine that light out to the world, with our own uniqueness.

Shine your light, without fear. As Tui shows himself, he shows the bright ball of white light at his throat, the sign that he sings from his throat the truth of the light from his soul.”

Then a pair of ducks took flight and flew directly over me, so purposefully it was as if I could feel the breath of the sweeping of their wings. Their call as they took flight was deep and resonant and I could feel it in every cell of my body. Then I was told:

“It’s not about getting your ducks in a row, it is about taking flight. The ducks are showing you it is time to sing with a voice that is strong and clear and to take flight. No more waiting. It is time to take flight. 

Getting your ducks in a row is a human construct and outmoded. This does not take place in nature. 

In nature, the mother duck sets out and the other ducks fall in place behind, to follow in her slipstream. 

You are the mother duck setting out to take flight, to sing with a voice that is clear and loud, resonant from the deep depths of the light within. 

Now is time to take flight. Now is time to take flight.

In the universe all falls into place when you align with your own truth, when you align with the truth and principles of the universe. The duck is calling in affirmation of all that has been said.”

Then a poem unfolded:

Majestic ducks taking flight over me
Singing your song so resonantly

No more waiting, getting ducks in a row
It is time to take flight and let everything go.

Beautiful ducks, such depths to your call
Reminding me it is time to no longer stall

But rather take flight, clearly and boldly
In full clear sight, for all to behold me

Singing the depths of my truth from my heart
Calling all to join me in this beautiful art.

Then I felt humbled and filled with gratitude and realised life really is truly abundant and that we have everything we need all around us, if only we sit, observe and listen. The ducks flew round and round so I tried to capture them on my phone which I've posted in the little video below:

One day a great bear came forward when I was deep in meditation with all his magnificence. So much power and majesty, so powerful and fierce and yet so gentle and loving. This is what he told me:

“I simply am. I am powerful and my size is big. 

I have the power to eliminate whatever comes in my path. But my intention is not destruction. 

I am a powerful force of nature. If you feel inside my heart, you feel nothing but warmth, acceptance, and harmony. I am at peace. I love the natural world around me. 

My body is strong and my claws are sharp. My power is unimaginable. I have the power of destruction, but in my heart is love and acceptance. This is the seat of my true power. 

I am powerful because I exist amidst the powerful forces of nature. I am sure of myself and I am at one with the forest, with the stars and with the rivers and stones. 

When left to my own world, I am calm and relaxed, all is good and the world is at peace. My power is not then destructive but the power of standing solid in who I am, powerful beyond all measure and in harmony. 

Connect to me and I am happy to share my power. Feel where this power sits, in your belly. This is being at home. This is being at one with everything. 

When you need courage to move forward or carry on, I am here to share the power of my core, the warm strength of acceptance and love that is at my core.

I am connected to the stars, you can see the great bear out in the universe and I am here to help carry your messages out into the universes beyond our own. 

Connect to my core and I will bellow out to my brothers and sisters in other realms and we will be one, working with all our power and strength to find our way back to each other. 

I give you my strength and my protection as we are now united as one.”

Wow, I am getting a queue of messages to come through. Have been so busy, my meditations have become shorter until they dissolved into being negligible! Everyday I have had the thought to stop and sit down, to take five... But... Anyway this morning I drew an angel card. Guess what it was? "Meditation". So I dutifully sat, and what a joy!

Ladybird came to visit in my mind's eye, Beautiful, rounded, powerful, peaceful, bringer of joy. Bringing us home, home to our sphere of power. Our inner child. So bright and red. Bringer of so much joy. This was her beautiful message:

“Engage your inner child and create fantasy with love and light. Find freedom in your joy and power, but also in the dark spots that have visited you in this life. 

What brings you home? What roots you in your power? When you take flight, is it grounded in your truth? Are you harnessing all that you are?

I am red and shiny, but black spots are also part of my nature. I embrace them as an integral part of me. They are part of the wings that help me soar. That help me to find my way. 

They are home to the sphere of my power. And in embracing both the black spots and the scarlet vibrancy of who I am, I grow into even greater beauty.”

And then a poem was gifted that I will share in a separate post. Enjoy embracing all parts of yourselves and flying home to the power of your true beauty.

This morning when I went out to connect to the Earth for my live post in Snowdrop, the birds were singing and it reminded me of the importance of singing our own truth from our heart, and of a poem I was gifted once before when I enjoyed the birds singing. Thank you beautiful birds for your lessons in being true.

Joyously, joyously
Sing your song
With the truth in your heart
That’s been yearning so long

Rhythmically dancing
Your soul’s unfolding
Letting go and surrendering
Your divinity beholding

Peacefully, peacefully
Coming to rest
In the depths of serenity
Where everything is blessed

Beautiful kingfisher
Sitting on the line
Your vigilant poise
Your feathers so fine
​
Beautifully attired
In your blue green vest
Coral of compassion 
Visible on your chest

Peaceful and still 
You patiently await 
The magic of the moment
That is yours to create

Silently waiting
As the world goes by
Knowing when to sit
Knowing when to fly

The art of discernment
Detached but alive

To continue my journey with Kingfisher, even though he was quite clear about how I needed to set aside time to be still and reflect, life got in the way. I'd received his messages for two days, but the next day, I couldn't get myself organised to even sit for two minutes. Nevertheless, Kingfisher was there in what we know as the real world, to remind me. He flew in front of my car, suspended mid air, lifting up his healing wing, to show the compassion in his heart. 

Dutifully, the following day I did make time to sit in the silence, even though my own feathers were ruffled. The guidance continued:

“You have been unsettled today, because you did not set aside the time to embark on your journey. The kingfisher flew in front of your car to remind you. 

He asks: ‘Who are you? Why are you here? What has been your pathway? Why? What has interested and enlivened you? What have been your blocks? When have you been happy and when depressed? Why? See the connections and draw the map of your life. 

Be vigilant. Dive deep and release, cleanse, purify and rediscover your truely vibrant and magnificent self. If you are feeling depressed or irritable because of the enormity of the task, remember it is really very simple.

Also be aware that you could be starting to 'detox' even as you enter the process. Embrace this, be joyful, as this is the journey home, to your true self and why you are here. 

Be joyful, play, have fun. Use sound, colour, listen, sing, hum, tune into nature, all will jog memories and sift, shake, unearth, bring to light and make sense of them. 

The jigsaw is out of the box and it is time to assemble the pieces and search for the missing parts.”

Truely amazing, thank you dear Kingfisher.

Yet again, however, it was a few days before I got back to the silence again. To nudge me along, in one of the days where I forgot to sit, I drew a card from Barry Brailsford’s Wisdom of the Four Winds. Guess what it was?

Kingfisher or Kotare, of course. I shared Kingfisher's card yesterday, in my live post in our Snowdrop private Facebook group. To quote a few of the key points: "Kingfisher is a wonderful teacher...[this card] reminds us we find insight in reflection and power in stillness. Its arrival says it is time to sift and sort all that is you...reflect on your journey. ...Draw a map of your life... Go into... the silent place within, and listen to the voice of the wise one who waits to guide you... Decide what is now important in your life. Draw a new map for the journey that unfolds and prepare to walk it..." And the key word for this card? "Vigilance".

Now you know the story I have revealed over the past couple of days or so, you will understand how this card and its accompanying 'reading' blew my mind and why I have included this beautiful card in my telling of  the journey. 

Would you like to join me and Kingfisher in being vigilant, in sifting and sorting, to create a map of the life we would like to unfold before us? Lets call the energy of Kotare to us and transform into our most magnificent selves. Tomorrow I will share Kingfisher's poem.

When Kingfisher came to me in the meditation I shared in my post a couple of days ago, he told me he was initiating a journey of self discovery, a journey home. Over the next few weeks, the journey did indeed unfold. 

However, Kingfisher needed to repeat the simple key points — some of us are easily distracted, or maybe take longer to get the point! Anyway, Kotare wants me to share, as he wants you all to be able to embark on the journey, and he realises that I am probably not be the only 'student' who needs a bit of repetition and encouragement.

On that first day, Kingfisher advised, “It is a journey that requires you to be quiet, to sit still, with patience, to go within and to notice.” 

And he reassured: “Know I am giving you, with my vibration of love and healing, my patience and insight.”

The next day, Kingfisher appeared again, and then my higher self downloaded.

“I am your higher self and I have been activated by Kingfisher. I am here whenever you need to communicate with me. I am here to support you. It is now time to reflect and take stock of everything you have experienced in your life so far. Kingfisher will be guiding you and will be taking you to a deeper and deeper understanding. 

It is important for you to be very organised and to have time to be still and reflect. Draw up a schedule and take control of your time and how you use it. 

This is very important. You need to stop, be still, listen and take time to reflect.

Do not worry about material things. You do not need to do anything else at the present time. You will be looked after and you do not need to worry about how this will happen. 

Trust and allow us to work through you to manifest the greatest aspect of who you truely are. 

This will be your freedom. This will be your abundance. 

Allow and become the highest manifestation of who you are and as you become this manifestation, so will that expression be reflected in all around you.

It is not that you do not need to do. Rather that when you do, it is from the inspiration derived from being. And when inspiration moves you, then it is the time to move and do, and you will be guided that this is so. 

Keep your boundaries intact. Aspire to be the most magnificent expression of who you truly are and trust that we are here to love, support and guide you.”

Tomorrow I will tell you what happened when life got in the way and how Barry Brailsford’s Wisdom of the Four Winds cards came into the picture. (I shared in a live reading of Kingfisher from these cards in our Snowdrop private community today).
