Welcoming in Turtle Spirit Energy
Welcoming in Turtle Spirit Energy
Hello everyone and thank you for reading. It has been a while since I wrote. Many changes have happened. I ended up moving from a home I absolutely loved, grieving and embracing the memories and experiences and settling into the new with gratitude and appreciation. Change is hard sometimes, stubborn patterns really show up in this resistance, however I appreciate the renewal and awareness. Comfort in familiarity and consistency can create stagnancy in our growth. Not saying I am open to move every year lol Through the moving experience I got to see many things at play, like my attachments to wanting things to stay the same, making the landlord wrong for selling and creating exhausting stories in my mind to try and change the inevitable outcome of moving. Talk about exhausting. Instead of just accepting the reality and truth without judgement or needing something to change.. I fought it. Once I allowed the process of acceptance settle in, then the new home came in at super speed and in 2.5 weeks I was moving. This is how powerful acceptance is. Does this relate to you in your life in other ways? I can see this stubborn mechanism playing out in many situations. lol The beauty of awareness. Sometimes I wish I can just put my head in the sand and pretend that things are not happening or retreat into a turtle shell.
Over the passed few months I have been drawn to the Turtle Spirit, predominantly the slowing down part. It is much more soothing to the nervous system.
The Turtle Spirit Energy has profound lessons in presence, patience, protection and the sacred rhythm of life. Carrying its home on its back and moving slowly with quiet assurance. Does this speak to you at all? Is it time to slow down and be in quiet contemplation? In many Indigenous traditions, Turtle Island is a name for North America, rooted in creation stories where the turtle carries the world on its back. This symbolizes the turtle as a world-bearer, a grounding force, and a being deeply connected to Mother Earth

Turtles dwell between land and water, symbolizing the bridge between the grounded world and the emotional realm. In this way, the turtle spirit teaches us to honor our emotions without being overwhelmed by them – to float, not drown, in the tides of life. Water = Emotions, Shell = Boundaries, Movement = Presence
I am surprised to discover, when I slow down, especially when my mind is trying to speed up with thoughts of the list of accomplishments for the day, I get more accomplished in less time. When I rush, I drop things, stumble, feel stressed, scattered thinking/decisions and do things half assed. Can you relate? In the space of rushing, force is the energy which only delays true authenticity and clarity. Force creates moments of why the heck did I say that, or I didn’t mean it that way or shit, I could have performed that way better. The allowing energy to flow through with presence and discipline moves mountains and allows space to connect with YOU. Reminders that I tell myself is: I attract, not chase and what is meant for me I can’t mess up. The second statement for me feels like a huge weight lifted off as there has been a pattern/belief/fear of making mistakes. The first statement tells me a lot about how powerful my thoughts are. Paying attention to what is happening inside of me and the events surrounding me tells me a lot about the impact of my thoughts. Thoughts are real my friends. We become what we think. When I allow that to land… holy shit… why would I think shitty thoughts? lol Lets not go down the rabbit hole of WHY.. that leads to more whys. Just accept, yes I have shitty thoughts, feel how the shitty thoughts make me feel, and replace with compassion for myself and feel the compassion. Done!
On that note, wishing you the absolute best life has to offer in all ways! No matter what is going on in your life, what you have experienced, what you have done, what someone else has done to you… you are worthy of happiness, peace and joy. After all, most of us are 8 yr old’s still playing in the sandbox.
I am asking for support to donate to the go fund me for a beautiful community in Cameroon Africa needing funding to restore their farming project for displaced families. This beautiful farm cultivated a community of safety, teaching the basic needs of survival of growing and raising food. A sense of purpose and hope for many people. The leader Juju who has worked tirelessly putting videos together, pictures, donating sacred African Art pieces, organizing the African women to make jewelry and gifts to be auctioned off. Giving back to Pachamama Africa for providing the miraculous Iboga to many souls that changes lives for the better in so many ways. Thank you Iboga, I am forever grateful beyond words.
Much love and appreciation.
