When I first arrived in Sydney to live in July this year I asked the Ancestors and Spirit to guide me to a place in nature where I could hold sacred ceremony and take people on earth meditation or shamanic walks. Soon after a dear friend took me to a reserve close by. I knew at once it was the place as my heart filled with love and light. She told me there was a huge rock carving with a whale carved on it. At that moment my guides came in and told me the reserve looked like a whale'a tail from the air. I told my friend and smiling, she took me to see a map of the place which confirmed what I had been told. The map of the reserve certainly looked like a whale's tail. I now call this place Whales Tail Point and have taken my first shamanic walk there. Whale could be 'seen' everywhere that day - in the rocks, caves, and shadows. Whale is known traditionally as the Record Keeper. It reminds us to go deep to find and sing our True Heart song
Later when I looked again at a larger map from the air I could see the whole whale and marvel once again at my Inner Guide Wisdom. They have and continue to teach me so much.
Whale wisdom reminds us to connect with our True Heart Nature. That is - instead of our Wounded Heart (un)consciousness. Our Wounded Heart will refer to the past to make decisions and dictates our emotional experience in a very unconscious way - as a primal response that comes from the memory of a similar experience in our childhood or younger days. However, the True Heart overides such reactive responses and reminds us to step back and come right into our body and shift and transform old instinctive patterns - making wiser choices instead. Where the Victim or Conqueror is a typical archetypal stance of the Wounded Heart - feeling powerless or overpowering -competitive/controlling - the Peaceful or Spiritual Warrior or Gracious Leader and Humble Heroe is in alignment with the nature of the True Heart.
Like the whale, the True Heart energy is big and is in tune with the Universal sounds and vibrations that assist us to navigate our way through the many different passages of life and time. We know when we are in our True Heart because when our breath is strong, even, deep and clear. Our voice will also be strong and our words will flow with ease.
