The question I posed to the animal cards for this month: How do we stay present in our ever changing world?

I really loved that it is Hyena who stepped forward to share its message as I feel it is such a potent one.

Thank you, Hyena!

Hyena looms large as a symbol of our inner critic that at times can feel like it has hijacked every part of us. At this time, Hyena is asking you to gently, but honestly, look into the mirror and explore if that critic is truth, or merely an illusion.

When the critical part of you shows up, this is a clue to stop to carefully consider your thoughts. Has your inner compass veered off course? What part of you are you bullying or attempting to laugh off because of perceived insecurities? These thought patterns are often created from a past wounding leaving you feeling not good enough and searching for a magical solution.

Hyena is reminding you not to give your power away at this important juncture. We have been conditioned to look outside ourselves for validation; instead of seeking it, learn to be with whatever has you feeling uncomfortable. Hear what your inner doubt has to say, but don’t allow it to take the lead. Also remember the negative voice within is a scared part of you trying to protect you.

It is time to take responsibility for that frightened voice within — acknowledge it, love it, and assure it all will be well. When you break the chain of old patterning caused by painful wounds from the past, you can then step more boldly into your true self, just like Hyena beautifully owns its spots.

Shatter that mirror of illusion by being loyal to all parts of who you are, ultimately standing in your radiant and magnificent power.
