Magical & Meaningful Experiences

In a way it feels like not much has happened since I wrote my last blog post because I've been practicing resting and trusting to the best of my ability. On the other hand, things have been shifting deep within me as I try to integrate the things I'm learning.

The other day when I was chatting with my friend she asked me if I ever pulled a random book off the shelf for answers or messages. I think I had heard of it before but I don't remember ever trying it so I decided to see what happens. I asked my guides if there's any message for me right now then closed my eyes and pulled a random book off the shelf. Without opening my eyes I flipped to a page and pointed at a random part of a page. I opened my eyes and this is what I was pointing at:

Ok, so I've been conditioned my whole life to think about others first so my first thought was that I don't know anyone who is pregnant. My mind did all kinds of gymnastics trying to figure it out. My friend reminded me that I'm having a rebirth of sorts and doing lots of inner child work and so if I'm worried I don't need to be.

When I finally began to be able to see how it could apply to myself it just kind of blew me away. I really do feel like I'm so new in this current stage of transformation and remembering that I really do feel like a baby at times. It was such a a comforting message to me and my inner child was free to play and dance without any worries or care.

With watching people channel in different ways and use various means to obtain answers to questions, I began to realize that pulling a random book off the shelf could be a method for me to begin tapping into my abilities and to learn to trust my intuition. It just took me a few days to process the idea and get used to the idea before practicing it.

One evening I was so worried about how my bills will get paid because my 3D mind feels like I should be doing something to try to get some kind of income flowing so I can pay my bills because I don't want to ask for help again. I was a mess when I went to bed so I started telling my guides how discouraged I am because I feel like a failure when I'm struggling so much to trust that I'm going to be taken care of. I feel like it's such a rollercoaster of times I can trust and not worry and times when it's the opposite and I felt bad for them trying to help me if I keep seesawing so much. In between tears I felt myself surrounded with love and complete acceptance. No judgement. No criticism. Softly the thought slid into my mind that I'm new to trusting and to them I'm like a toddler learning to walk. That they're happy with where I'm at and that I keep doing my best. It was so comforting.

The next morning I was ready to see what happens if I pull a random book off the shelf. I asked my guides what message they have for me today. After the process was through and I opened my eyes, I was pointing to a photo of a tennis player who had just hit the ball which was a blur. The book was a photographer guide and the paragraph explaining the picture explained how when taking photos of moving objects some parts will be blurred because different parts are at different speeds and directions giving it a sense of motion. As I read the paragraph trying to comprehend it I had this deep sense that good things are coming my way but my 3d view is limited and warped and therefore I can't see clearly and that's why I worry. But my guides can see everything clearly so that was really comforting.

I hadn't been to the woods in two weeks, mostly because I was worried about whether I should be wasting gas for that. I decided this morning that since it wasn't as cold I'd go and the sun was supposed to show its face as well. I was so excited, anticipating some magical experiences. At least enough to make it worth the time to write a new blog post which takes me several hours.

When I got there I walked down to get a photo of the water(at the top of this blog post). First I saw this which looked like a glyph and me seeing the lid picked it up to put in the trash and realized it looked like a glyph so I had to take a picture...

After I got a photo of the water I was heading towards the trail when these pinecone caught my eye...

At the beginning of the trail was this shrub with pretty blue berries and so I tried taking a picture of it. For some reason I couldn't get a clear photo of the center and after about a dozen shots I started laughing because I felt like someone was playing with me and holding their hand over the berries I was trying to get a photo of so I couldn't in a teasing sort of way.

As I was walking, well rather more like dancing and singing along the trail which was a new experience for me as I usually walk quietly, I began to worry that I was scaring all the creatures away because I didn't see or hear anything. I got to a trail that went down to the water when I noticed that something had come out of the water leaving a trail of water drops and wetness. My first thought was that it couldn't have been a deer and it looked more like something else bigger and somewhat wet. About the same time I found myself wondering if it had been Sasquatch I heard a loud noise a little distance away which was an unusual sound like a large breaking branch or something. I couldn't see the source so I just continued on my merry way.

A little bit further on I heard a person yelling at their dog so I started looking through the trees to see if I could see anything because the last thing I like to meet when I'm on the trail is dogs that are not on leashes. I didn't see any sign of dog or human but as I was looking around I noticed that right in front of me at least 6' off the ground was this interesting branch structure. And so delicate it made my day! In looking closer I discovered that there were 3 branches in a configuration that had to have been put there because of the dainty way it was put together. It felt like I was supposed to see it. The delicateness and gentleness it took to create really spoke to me about the Sasquatch for some reason.

The red line is the main branch that was put first. The yellow line is the second branch hanging on a tiny twig with the tip of the branch in front of the first branch to hold it in place. The blue circle is for the really small y branch that sits on top of the other branches in a way that looks like a pin to hold it altogether.

Here you can see the tiny twig that is holding up the second branch. A heavy gust of wind would probably break it so it made me think it was more recently made.

Here you can see the small y branch sitting on top of the other 2 to hold them in place like a pin. It's less than a foot long which is hard to gauge in the photo, I'd say between 5-7" long.

Another glyph type design that caught my attention...

Leaves floating on the water...

There's still some pretty colors left...

Some pretty berries...

One of the first animals I saw was this deer...

As I came into the clearing, this 4-6 point buck ran away from the water's edge...I had my eye on the doe and didn't see the buck until he began running...

The buck being curious before running into the woods...

I spent some time walking around the woods looking at all the structures to see if I noticed any changes. I came across this one (I took this picture later) and felt the impulse to sit down on the log in the other side of the structure to the right side.

As I sat there for awhile I realized I was getting tired. I had been so focused on the outside surroundings that I wasn't listening as much to my body. So I sat for a bit as I wasn't sure why I was being asked to sit. The sun had come out nicely and warmed me as I sat there. Some emotions came up to be released and I was surprised by a loud "soda can lid" pop that I've heard others say seems to be from switching dimensions or manifesting something (I forget who it was). Later I went looking to see if I could see anything around that area but I didn't notice anything.

A leaf caught in the bark made me think of my friend's little friend who was doing similar things for her.

Some colorful leaves...

Eventually I got up and continued to wander through the woods when I came across this feather. It was so beautiful and I thought of just leaving it but then I wondered if perhaps it is meant for me so I asked if it's for me and if it's ok if I bring it home. I don't have words for the response that I got but it made me cry tears of gratitude. I was deeply touched.

For some time now I'd been desiring to gather acorns and try to turn them into flour and experiment with using them. The last few times I'd been in the woods I hadn't asked because I was afraid I wouldn't be able to comprehend or understand the answer or the most respectful way to ask properly. I realized later that I was doubting myself and didn't believe I could understand the answer I would receive. So this time I took along a bag and decided I would at least ask. When I did ask it seemed to be a positive response so I gathered a few large handfuls to experiment with.

Another little design...

Just the delicate structure in the tree was enough to make my day. Then came the feather. And the acorns. But that wasn't the end...I was in for a treat yet before I left...

A large pileated woodpecker...

An arch across the bike trail that I don't remember noticing before...

I sat in my usual spot for awhile just watching the birds and enjoying the peacefulness. The woods were quiet and the only people I had seen so far were fishermen fishing. I also got some pretty photos of the sun. I love the rainbow colors of the sun's rays.

After about 4 hours in the woods I decided it was time to head home. As I said it out loud to whoever was around to hear me the thought popped into my head about using the bike trail as it seemed no bikers were out and I hadn't yet explored that part of the trail. I packed up my stuff and headed towards the trail and in the edge of the trail I noticed this cute little design...

As soon as I started walking down the trail I felt strong energies behind me almost like one or more Sasquatch were walking with me, not to escort me out but more like they didn't want to miss out on time with me or any of my exploration and enjoyment of this new space...I acknowledged their presence and thanked them and wished I could connect better. Yet this is something that I'm growing in and I may not yet be ready to handle the full capacity and so I am content just feeling them near and expect that one day I will have more capacity for deeper connection and conversation with them. It was the perfect ending to my time in the woods...

Some pretty moss...

Some of the trees(hickory?) were still holding on to their leaves but they were so beautiful!

On the way back to my vehicle the band of leaves in the water caught my attention... I found it quite interesting how they float beneath the surface of the water yet don't sink...

I continued on my way and saw this little fluffy seed fluttering in the wind, it's silky fronds catching glints of sunshine...

It was a very beautiful time in the woods. I had such a beautiful experience and I didn't realize till on the way home just how badly my whole being had needed a large dose of forest medicine and being among the trees. Every time I do go it is so beautiful and refreshing to my soul. It has satisfied me in a way I didn't realize I needed. It was so good and so full of beautiful moments and more beautiful memories to add to my memory bank to cherish. And I look forward to the day when the woods will be in my backyard and I don't have to go anywhere just to be in the woods ...

It seems the word "magic" is following me around now since yesterday when my friend posted about what is magic. Then I was inspired to write a song about it which you can listen to here. And then when I was thinking about the title it just magically fit right in...I'm interested in seeing where the magic will take me next...🧚✨💎
