CROCODILE
Thanks for joining me for Spirit Animal Sunday! As you know, we are working our way through the Animal Spirits Deck, by the Wild Unknown. If you've missed any of the previous posts and want to check them out, you can find them using the tags or categories tools!
Today, our animal companion is.... CROCODILE...
From the guidebook:
RESTING, SUBMERGING, COLLECTING ENERGY, COOLING OFF
"The Crocodile reminds us to step back from the external world and turn inward. Now is not the time for decisions, action, or discussion. The Crocodile's mantra is "wait". This doesn't mean lying around hoping life's challenges will disappear... the Crocodile is much smarter than that. It means intentionally withdrawing, gathering awareness, observing and building energy. Fill up the vital resources so your next move comes from a place of wisdom and power."
When in balance: wise, patient, a silent powerhouse
When out of balance: feels stuck, lashes out
To bring into balance: rest, makarasana pose
Crocodile represent heightened senses. Not only do they have an amazing sense of hearing, able to hear while still inside their shells, but their keen vision gives them an incredible ability: the ability to see very well underwater. The lesson contained within this talent is so powerful, teaching us about seeing clearly into the emotional world. Crocodile says "Dive in into the depths, find healing in my waters". In Crocodile's realm, we can find fluidity in our emotions and gain understanding from our dreams.
Call upon Crocodile when you find yourself stuck emotionally, unable to heal. They are fearless creatures, full of strength and forthright energy. Crocodile will strike clarity into our lives if we ask, representing an equal balance between earth and water. With their help, we too can become grounded, and settled in our emotions.
Crocodile people have a gift for bringing harmony into their own lives; they know not only how to survive, but thrive. They encourage others to be their true selves by example; they try to be their most authentic self at all times. As a Crocodile person you are usually in touch with your emotions, no matter the situation. You understand that what you project emotionally will manifest outwards. Crocodile people have a lot of patience in the chaos of other people’s emotions, having a deeper understanding of what they are truly expressing. This allows them to be gifted emotional healers.
