Medicine Bag
We all have memories, and physical things, trinkets, keep sakes, and possessions that are important to us. We may have things that have been passed down to us by older relatives who are no longer with us.
All of these emotionally charged and sentimental things make up our Medicine Bag.
You are asked to look through them now and decide if you will carry them forward. You are also asked to consider whether there are some new things to add to this sacred collection.
Perhaps you need to associate ephemeral memories with something physical that is in or added to the bag. A happy time spent on holiday by the sea may be associated with a seashell or a swim mask, or a jar of sand you collected.
Storing this Medicine Bag in the home, under your bed, a closet or a draw will keep it close and allow you to draw on the energy it contains.
In this life we meet many emotional challenges with people and animals. A Medicine Bag is something we can return to repeatedly to collect energy and strength to navigate through our present challenges.
Medicine bag has been sent to you for the second time this month to encourage you to take action. You need to create and update your Medicine Bag now. Because you may face emotional and sentimental challenges soon and you will need strength from the medicine bag!
Medicine Mask – Authenticity
The mask asks you to face up to who you are. No more hiding behind conformity, groups and teams. No more hiding behind the rules and processes of your work. Now is the time to drop the mask and reveal who you authentically are.
Conformity, groups and teams are all about your desire to fit in, be one guy, or gals. To gain glory and stature by being in a team or group that confers success and togetherness without allowing individuality and creativity.
Shaman often wear a mask associated with the qualities of the spirit they are invoking. But this is a for a purpose, a healing session. You have been wearing a mask to hide behind, or at the very least not allow your true authentic self to be seen by the world. If you make your own medicine mask, make sure it is in tune with your own qualities and values.
Make sure the values and qualities are clearly seen. This is not the time to be a crowd pleaser or follower. Let the mask be powerful and show your pride, sincerity, and involve yourself in a loving relationship. Be genuine and credible.
