An important part of my inner world includes writing about spirituality, faith, Spirit Animal encounters, Tarot Symbolism, and nature experiences and connecting their healing messages through the numerous intersecting paths of inner work. My hope is that I can provide motivation and inspiration while we are traveling together on our spiritual journey.
Soul Life Lessons Blog: Spiritual Healing with Animals
The Soul Life Lessons Blog is a collection of motivational and inspirational stories written about inner work and Spirit Animal Symbolism. Connecting their symbolic meanings to inner work, self-development, and our Soul Life Lessons.
As we embrace the notion of Spirit Animals, we come to understand their symbolism and the Soul Life Lessons they are here to guide us with on our path. Animals offer inspiration, hope, and healing while we navigate the murky path within.
For those who are not on the inner work journey, animals have empowering characteristics, offering motivation, courage, endurance, and daily inspiration. They are a powerful reminder that we all possess inner strength, confidence and potential.
Healing Lessons with a Cat
I created the Healing Lessons with a Cat series to honor my twenty-five-year cat rescue journey. I became involved with cat rescue in 1997, where I first learned about feral cats and TNR. The path continued when I moved to Colorado with fundraising, adoptions, fostering, medical care and then cat behavior. I spent another twelve glorious years helping felines in need and they were the best years of my life.
Cats are deeply spiritual, yet they are firmly fixed in the natural world. They truly understand the ebb and flow between the inner world and the outer world. I will admit, throughout my cat journey I had no idea just how spiritual cats really were. I have come to realize the significance of this the last couple of years and I created a series of personal stories depicting the twenty-five most influential cats and their impact on my life.
Life Lessons from Nature
The Life Lessons with Nature series offers stories related to conserving and preserving nature as well as climate justice. Supporting conservation efforts for sustainable use of nature by humans as well as preserving our natural resources from human use.
There are also spiritual stories told through nature symbolism depicting the powerful healing lessons nature can offer to us as humans. Nature understands the balance, the flow of the tides, the cycles of life, and she has the power to reset the balance. This symbolism can provide hope and inspiration as we reset the balance in our own lives.
Into the Shadows with Tarot
The Into the Shadows with Tarot series is a collection of stories utilizing Tarot symbolism with Inner Child and Shadow/Archetype work. What I love the most about Tarot is that it cuts to the heart of the matter, like the Suit of Swords, however, I view the entirety of the Tarot deck in this way.
Tarot can see into our past, present and potential future, if we choose to stay on our current path. It can alert us to our blind spots and the repressed and hidden memories we keep buried. The areas of our lives we ignore so we do not have to face our traumas, pain and shadows.
Tarot Symbolism can offer hope, healing and inspiration enabling us to navigate the path to our inner world and release the fears holding us back and bring our shadows into the light. Helping us find peace and balance in our lives.
Soul Life Lessons from God
The Soul Life Lessons from God series illustrates the power of prayer and grace while on the inner world journey. Navigating the inner world can be challenging and it is easy to lose faith while on the path. The power of grace can act as a healing agent restoring hope and inner strength, empowering us to endure the journey.
Many of the prayers are universal and represent many of our Soul Life Lessons. Forgiveness, compassion, honor, courage, trust and faith are just a few of the prayers that connect to our lessons. Learning these teachings provides a path to living a soul centered life.
In Conclusion
Wherever you are on the path, my hope is that by sharing my own journey through the inner world using animal and tarot symbolism that you can find hope, inspiration, motivation and healing while you travel your own journey within.
