Part 3: Ocean - Trusting in the nature of play
A Message from Jaguar
Trusting in the nature of play
Welcome to this third part of our little journey into the Dreamtime. Now we move into the oceans. These are not my personal territory, so you will need a Guide from this realm. The ocean is about play and freedom. Once you can master your intuition in the jungle and break out of overwhelm in the desert, now you are ready to play and flow in the ocean of your being…
Three ocean dwellers have come forward to serve you at this time. Open your heart, listen to your intuition and choose one of these three as your Guide into the oceans. Each brings specific guidance connected to unlocking freedom and flow in your life so that you can step into a deeper trust in life. Ultimately, it is trust that leads to play.
If this is your first experience with me, you are right where you need to be. But if you feel you need to commit to this journey fully, you can always go back and follow my footsteps from the beginning.
Which ocean dweller are you drawn to work with?
Seahorse, Seal, or Puffin? Click their images below to reveal a hidden message for you at this time. The full codex entry is available for these three creatures too, you just need to click on 'View Codex Entry' when the text pops up.
Seahorse speaks to the Fear of Letting Go
"I am Seahorse. I come to those who are in the process of learning to let go. What is it in your life that you are still trying to control? It is a sure bet that this is also the most painful area for you right now. How does one let go? It is not something you can easily do on a conscious level. I will help you. You cannot resolve your current life issues through your mind, or through your feelings, or even through any definite external action. You will have to go deeper, into your physical body, where the core tension lives."
The Feminine Freedom of Seal
"I am Seal. I stand in the middle – between earth and sea, between this world and the next, between you and your future. My people contain a prophecy – that only when the past is fully transformed can the golden future dawn. I am a Changer and you must embrace my transformation. You must turn backwards now and face where you have come from. You must face the deep grief of your people. You carry this grief in your cells, and behind it lies the deep-seated human fear of death. Death you must each face alone, in the silence of your being. It is the greatest of universal secrets held by our Mother."
Puffin shares the Vision of the Innocent Child
"I, Puffin, am here to tell you that you are growing too serious in certain aspects of your life. You need to loosen up and remember the joyous possibilities that lie all around you. Playfulness is an inner spirit that we can bring to anything we do. Dig a little deeper into your life and see where this spirit of play is most needed. If you were to look back on your life, what are the experiences you would most value? No matter what you have done or not done, you can never, never lose touch with the child inside you. Nurture the playful puffin inside you. Be disciplined about play. Carve out the time for it in your life."
