Transformation

There has been much heavy slow overwhelming energy around today. Despite the rain that fell last night a residue of tension lingers in the air. It can sometimes feel like you are coming up against a wall. Bang!

I went out to the labyrinth as an alternative to meditation. I felt the need to be in the fresh air and to move, be active rather than still. The magical labyrinth never fails to reveal something to me. This time as I began to tread slowly around the path a small brown frog hopped out in front of me. Not knowing much about the frog animal totem I'm reminded to look it up on my return.

Before I could do this the dinner gong sounded. I ate my dinner alone on one of the picnic tables beside the classroom. It's quiet there and I'm facing some beautiful trees. It's my day off and somehow I've barely done anything I had intended. Feeling restless I decided to take myself off to the moor for a walk round Venford Reservoir. I collected Becky on route and off we zoomed along the winding narrow lanes higher and higher until we passed acrossed a cattle grid and appeared up on top of the wide open moorland. It was not long until we were wandering down by the shore line of Venford. The recent dry weather has resulted in shrinking water levels. Becky splash about to her hearts content running in and out of the water, as we neared the feeder stream the ground seemed as if it was moving underneath our feet. On closer inspection I could see tens of tiny black frogs hopping from land to water. The frog appearing twice in one day. Now I knew I had to check out what this represents.

Back home I settle down to read about the frog animal totem and this is what I discovered;

The frog is the totem of metamorphosis. It symbolizes coming into your personal power. It reminds us not to become bogged down with day-to-day living.

It is the totem of water. Its voice calls forth the rains. Emotions are associated with water and a frog totem may be telling you to get in touch with your feelings.

People with frog medicine give support and energy where it is needed. They can cleanse the negativity from an environment.

It is time for transformation and for some frog energy.
