POWER ANIMAL OF THE WEEK – LION
LION – COURAGE – ASK FOR WHAT YOU WANT.
Intuitive Message –
Feel your fear and do it anyway. Courage is a requirement on the healing / spiritual path, particularly when those around us may not be on a similar path. This week we are being guided to continue to make the heart centered choices that feel right and true for us. We are also strongly being guided to step out of our self imposed….”I can do it myself” box. Asking for help is not a sign of weakness, instead it is a great sign of strength. Whether you need help from those around you in your life or from God, your guides and angels, you must be willing to ask. Once you ask you can trust that you will receive exactly what you need in this moment. Take a deep breathe and go ahead call in your support team and keep walking forward courageously on the healing path of your heart.
Message from guidebook – Don’t assume that others and the world around you will know at any given moment what your preferences and desires are. You must announce them. Speak out directly and clearly. If you do state your wants and needs, the worst that can happen is that you won’t get what you want. But I’ll guarantee that if you don’t ask, you’re much less likely to get what you want.
First ask yourself what it is that you want, whether something simple like a request to pass the salt, or something more daring and complex, like a hug or kind word from a loved one or a friend. The more personal your desires, the harder it can be to ask, but really, what’s the risk? That someone will say no? That you’ll be shamed or scorned? It’s going to take courage. Not fearlessness, but courage. You can be afraid and still risk expressing your wants. This flies in the face of all your earlier training – to keep quiet and suffer in silence – but why continue being a martyr, denying yourself the privilege of receiving? It make like a lot easier to know the power of expressing your desires.
