Some of the things animals can symbolize if we become aware of their presence in our lives are aspects of our personality (this is a great indication for where you might be in the moment and how your attitude or mind is playing a great role in whether you are balanced in all areas of your life or not).  The presence of a specific animal could be an answer to a prayer or a question you have asked of your higher power, or maybe even to thin air.  Think of all those questions you may have asked and wondered why you didn't feel heard or that an answer wasn't brought to you, maybe just maybe that answer came in the form of an animal and you were not aware of.  A Totem Animal can come into your life when your emotions are heightened or maybe a situation has arisen that has you feeling like you are struggling in life.  Totem Animals can bring us all sorts of amazing and valuable insight (whether it is small or profound) into our lives, not only that they are filled with messages of guidance and understanding.  

The latest little Totem Animal who has graced my life in the last few days has been none other than Ladybug.  She has stepped forward in the most significant ways that there's no way I could ignore her presence in my life.  She came as pictures in a leaflet in my mail, flying in front of me to land on a plant I was sitting or standing next too.  A little girl even pointed out two that had landed on my arm and warned me when I went to sit down a rock, as she was scared I was going to squash it.  And to top off my ladybug Totem experience I have had that little ladybug song stuck in my head for the last two days.  So here is the message brought to you by ladybug and I tell you what, i'm glad I noticed her or became aware, because it was the perfect message at the perfect time. Thank you Ladybug what a beautiful message!

A cord is a negative or positive rope so to speak, that ties you and another person together. It connects your aura to another person's aura.

Yes that's right there are two types of cords.  

When you first meet a person or form a relationship bond with them, you create two cords between you the first is a positive one, this one can never be severed because it is filled with nothing but a positive, spiritual connection .  The positive cord is filled with  beautiful energies of unconditional love, fun times, wonderful memories, warmth, affection all the scrumy things centered around love, and everything that is good about the relationship.

The other is the polar opposite the negative cord of attachment.  This contains all the negative parts of your relationship that have ever reared their ugly head.  For example this could be a negative attachment to an ex-lover.  Maybe this lover deceived you in someway, all those feeling surrounding that experience are all encoded into the negative cord attached between you and that person.  The feelings you may have felt when this happened could be one's of anger, hurt, negative feelings around self worth, energetic feelings of inadequacy in some way.  Maybe there are feelings encoded into the negative cord around deserving some of the hurt, deception or wanting to please your partner/family member so much that they won't leave you, or that you choose to keep quiet, regardless of the toxicness of the relationship.

Even after you have removed this person/people from your life the cord still exists between you and follows you into your next relationship.  The cord that is with you from that past relationship moves with you and can still effect you both in many ways.  Maybe you can't stop thinking about them, even though you want to forget so much it just never goes away, or not as quickly as you would like.  Maybe in your next relationship you notice the same sort of unhealthy patterns have followed you from the last.  Those feelings of inadequacy, paranoia around being deceived or even people pleasing still seem to exist even though that experience with that particular soul is finished still seem to haunt you in a way, even though it's really not your reality any more.  This happens because the negative energies from the cord are affecting your ability to move on by flowing through your aura constantly.

This is just one example of many that give you an example of how cords can effect our lives in sometimes dramatic and ways and prevent us from really moving on from a relationship.  You can form cords with literally anyone you may have had a relationship with past or present.  And having worked with Psychic Surgery and doing full clearings of aura's, cords and many other things I can tell you from experience that the longer or deeper the relationship the bigger the cords can be and the harder they are to sever.  The cords in themselves can be extremely draining to the body in so many different ways.

Not only that but many other relationships can be improved in your life due to those past cords being cut. It does not mean that you lose contact with the person or that it weakens the positive connection.  The removal of a Cord doesn't mean that, that person completely disappears from your life or that there is a feeling of death because of it, unless of course you consciously decide to make that happen by severing contact altogether.  If anything, that pure, unconditional, positive, love connection is only but improved because it is no longer tainted by the negative energetic cord.

Be aware, there are many different types of relationships and just because we cut a cord to a past relationship where we have first become aware of specific behaviors in ourselves, does not mean to say that this behavior will be removed or disappear from our lives, as it could well have originally come from a childhood experience.  What it can do is remove the energy of that particular relationship/relationships and allow you to breathe a little lighter in many other areas of your life as well as stopping the negative pattern that has formed with that particular relationship.

Every type of relationship is unique to the individual, our major cords attached are generally from lovers, parents, children, spouses (ex or present), best or close friends, abusers (sexual) or any other sexual encounters.  Minor cords can be formed between, work mates, teachers, friends, acquaintances, even clients.

You will generally be able to tell the larger or major cords that are attached by the toxicity of the relationship.  No matter how much you love the person, there will, has or is in this moment a negative part of your relationship that is extremely negative, exhausting or draining.  

Remember Cord-Cutting is an experience for your highest good and DOES NOT remove the positive energetic cord at all. It's a win/ win I say and I wouldn't be without the skill in my life as it translates in so many ways and brings so much awareness to self when discovering the reason for the negative cord.

“My dear girl, the day you see I’m getting old, I ask you to please be patient, but most of all, try to understand what I’m going through. If when we talk, I repeat the same thing a thousand times, don’t interrupt to say: “You said the same thing a minute ago.” Just listen, please. Try to remember the times when you were little and I would read the same story night after night until you would fall asleep. When I don’t want to take a bath, don’t be mad and don’t embarrass me. Remember when I had to run after you making excuses and trying to get you to take a shower when you were just a girl? When you see how ignorant I am when it comes to new technology, give me the time to learn and don’t look at me that way. Remember, honey, I patiently taught you how to do many things like eating appropriately, getting dressed, combing your hair, and dealing with life’s issues every day. The day you see I’m getting old, I ask you to please be patient, but most of all, try to understand what I’m going through. If I occasionally lose track of what we’re talking about, give me the time to remember, and if I can’t, don’t be nervous, impatient, or arrogant. Just know in your heart that the most important thing for me is to be with you. And when my old, tired legs don’t let me move as quickly as before, give me your hand the same way that I offered mine to you when you first walked. When those days come, don’t feel sad—just be with me, and understand me while I get to the end of my life with love. I’ll cherish and thank you for the gift of time and joy we shared. With a big smile and the huge love I've always had for you, I just want to say, I love you, my darling daughter.”

I have read this a few times online and each and every time no matter the time of year, it brings me to a place of substance, a place of understanding, a place of devotion to my loved ones.
I'm a mother myself and it reminds me that not only do our children grow up so fast, so do we, so do our parents, our grandparents and even for some our great grandparents.

The older generation have such a special place in my heart, it amazes me the wisdom and strength that each one carries, the life time of stories on the tip of each tongue just waiting for a kind ear to take the time to listen for awhile and allow them to reflect on their lives in happiness and sadness, in joy and laughter.  So easy for each of us to get busy in our lives and forget that one day soon we will be that very same generation, and while we are constantly given the message to slow down and smell the roses..do we? Do we really take the time to just breathe once in a while, to reflect on how far each of us have come in our lives, to tell our story? Or do we wait till that moment when it's on the tip of our tongue and we are just waiting for a kind ear to listen.

It amazes me this life, how we go full circle just as the letter portrayed.  Life is so short..remind yourself in this moment to take the time to be that kind ear once in  awhile, to pick up the phone, to have a cup of tea with someone, and always remember to let those special people in your life know just how much you love them.  We really never know what may happen tomorrow.

Much Love to all,
