Are You Taking Action?

I do hope you are finding this Spring full of wonder and joy!

With spring comes profound growth, new challenges and the beauty of transformation. This is the time of the quickening, when we become aware of nature waking up, seeds sprouting, herds of animals collecting, connecting, birthing and we awaken from the Dream Time (Winter) to take action on what we have seeded in our Dreaming. If we are aware and connected, we are experiencing the universe responding. With each action we take, the Universe responds.

Whether you are taking action to create a family, a business, an easier way to live, a healthier body, mind and spirit or any profound change for the better, your awareness of what you want and how you want it is important. As well, feeling completely supported and connected to your Source and to your Dream Stream is crucial.

To be in co-creation with your Source, allows for the unexpected and keeps things moving with the heart of your intention rather than getting married to an outcome, this brings magical results !

To learn more about taking action and connection, let’s look at one of Walking Soul Wisdom’s Archetypes and Values for the Season.

“ Run Antelope….

teach me of action….

And its pace

Quickly, quickly….

So I may run with Grace”

(Excerpt from The Medicine Cards)

Antelope medicine is the knowledge of the Circle of life. Knowing of death, Antelope can truly live. Action and Connection is one of the the keys to living life to its fullest.

Antelope is also the symbol of decisive action. This is a herd animal so the actions Antelope represent are not just about the self, but the whole tribe and family as well. Here we see that Antelope also teaches us that we are all connected and what we do for ourselves effects all others.

One of the many stories of Antelope teaches us that before the last ice age humans did not need to eat meat to survive because it was a time of plenty but as time went on and the glaciers persisted, it became clear that the human race was in trouble if they did not take action and adapt to their changing environment.

Antelope approached with a message of hope and action for the humans, offering itself up to nourish them with his own flesh and warm them with his coat. The humans were taught never to waste or take more than they needed. In this way all would be honoured and balanced.

The message from Antelope to humans was to take action right now, quickly, for the time is right. Antelope taught the humans that life is a never ending cycle of death and rebirth, that sacrifice is sometimes needed and adaptability was a must, for nothing stays the same too long. Antelope showed humans how to use every part of his body for good that could help the human tribe stay alive through the harsh conditions on planet Earth.

The Antelope shows us how to be of service in balance, in constant reciprocity. The chance to seize the deep honouring that we are all connected and as we receive, we give and as we give, we receive. By connecting to that which is greater than ourselves, wether it be a herd of Antelope, Nature, The Universe, Your Source, Family or Community, we find a way to not only sustain ourselves in action but also in trust with our connection, that knowing there is a bigger system we can draw from.

Do you need to take decisive action in some area of your life ?

Whether it be on the physical, mental or spiritual planes. This is about being resourceful. Antelope says look beyond the obvious and find where the action is needed. The Antelope speaks to you to do what is necessary to keep yourself healthy and strong, no matter what level that is on. By staying connected and asking for clarity, you will know what that is for you.

Make a decision, take the necessary action to achieve it and trust in right timing. This is living empowered.

Honour these energies of Antelope and Connection by letting them assist you on your path, as Walking Soul Wisdom has the privilage to do as well !

Happy Spring !

With Heart,
