How do you receive messages from the universe? I usually get mine in the form of animals, sometimes in real life and sometimes in dreams. I’ve been coming across a lot of hawks over the past year. I remember seeing one killing a small bird on a hydro line in downtown London about a year ago. I’ve seen them countless times since. Most recently, I came across one perched on a fence in my residential neighbourhood one morning as I was walking my dog. I stopped and watched it for a while, until it effortlessly jumped off the fence, expanded its wings and flew right in front of me and across the street.
Last weekend, I was driving from London to Hamilton. I saw another hawk on the side of Highway 403, clear as day, likely eating its breakfast. For the rest of the drive, I felt as though my car were surrounded by monarch butterflies. They were everywhere! I know it’s the season, but the fact that I’ve never seen so many at once, let alone while driving over 100 km/hr on the highway, meant to me that I needed to pay attention to both the butterflies and the hawks.
When I got home, I took out my animal card deck and investigated the significance for both. Hawk says that the universe is sending signals, to be observant and look at our surroundings. Wow! That means to pay more attention to those butterflies. Hawk also says to pay attention, for “you are only as powerful as your capacity to perceive, receive, and use your abilities…Hawk people see the overall view…Hawk medicine people are aware of omens, messages from the Spirit…”
Reflecting on this information, I felt I really should be paying more attention to the message of the butterfly, since seeing the hawk triggered me to notice the butterflies. The butterfly is all about transformation. There are four stages of transformation: the egg (beginning) stage; the larva (creating) stage; the cocoon (going within) stage; and the birth (sharing the births of your creation with the world) stage. My fog has finally lifted; I’ve recreated my career and I’ve created an energy around this amazing community of women who are joining me in my socacize journey. These births have given me a spark of energy that I haven’t had in a long time, if ever, and they are allowing me to move beyond the egg stage in other areas of my life. I’ve gotten so many new and inspiring ideas, some new business opportunities, and some more blogging inspiration. All these things are at different stages in their own transformation journey but I might not have thought about them, noticed them, or acted upon them had I not been thinking about the butterfly.
So the hawk wants me to pay attention to the butterfly’s transformation.
And so it is.
