Tonight I have had the wonderful opportunity to learn that when you journey and you ask for assistance from the animal spirits that you may not get what you expect.  I try to have an awareness for what animals present themselves during the course of my day and today was no exception.  However, I never thought it would lead me to here with a dragon.  You see my day first started by being woken up with the caw of a crow.  Then earlier in the day I went grocery shopping and felt drawn to the puzzles and bought one for my son which was a dragon.  Last weekend I was looking up dragons as well and was drawing one on a sword for my son.  You see, animals that bring messages to you will present themselves to you and it’s important to discover the meaning behind the presentation.  All this week I’m just thinking I’m helping my son and then finding a gift about a creature he adores.  Only to realize now the Dragon wasn’t meant for my son but it was coming to me.  I always knew you will have new animals show up and tonight I asked the Universe with the  intention to present me with an animal that will guide me on this path.

Backing up a bit, I should mention that  I’ve been dwelling in self doubt today. I’m soon going to be teaching a class and feel a little apprehensive about this path of teaching.  Early this evening I tried to get a hold of my friend who is a fellow Shamanic Student and Reiki Master, she wasn’t home.  I thought if she couldn’t give me the answers I was seeking then it would be helpful for me to ask the Universe the questions and to journey to receive the answer.

As I  began my journey I felt drawn to go outside of my home and onto the roof .  Before I knew it,  I was seeing myself in this beautiful flowing white dress and a huge female dragon coming.  She told me her name and instructed me to climb on her back that she was here to take me on a journey of flight.  Before  I knew it we were flying about the clouds near the stars and beyond the planets.  I could feel I was entering the UpperWorld, it was hear that I found my answers to my questions.  But, what has stayed with me is that animals come to us as our messages and earlier in the day I felt drawn to this puzzle and then this evening I’m being presented the gift of a Dragon; a Dragon that has come as a new animal guide  to help me take this journey into teaching.

I will continue to research the meaning about the dragons, one place I found tonight was animal planets movie on the history of dragons http://animal.discovery.com/convergence/dragons/. If you get the time it’s really worth watching and don’t stop there as there is allot of information about dragon totems: www.thedragonshaman.com/dragon-totem-power.html. 

I know I’m on this new flight and won’t be taking it alone now.  I feel blessed to have the Dragon come into my life and will continue to ask for more lessons.  Tonight I will sleep on knowing that I don’t have to fear new journeys in my life.  Flight is a exploration to higher dimensions;  you will have the opportunity to find the calm winds and fly high,  however, periodically you will run in to turbulance and have to turn back but the will we have inside ourselves is stronger than the obstacles of self doubt and fear and if we allow the fear to grow we will stay on the ground but if we take the leap of faith we will find we can fly and we will find the journey is worth all the effort.
