Animal Totem: Opossum

Opossum teaches the lesson of using and enhancing appearances and deceptions and illusions. He also aids in resting when needed (playing dead), and the art to act or behave in strategic manner as appearing to be fearful or fearless in spite of true feelings. Opossum gives courage to pretend for a while in order to cope with mental and spiritual constructs. He teaches wisdom and sensibility and knows when to fight if needed. Is it time to fight for things or to rest?

The opossum is a crafty animal that shows us how to play different roles. It knows when to act, when to hide, and when to show its true colors. Opossum is a master at recognizing truth as well as falsehood. When it wants attention it gets it. When it wants to be left alone it plays dead. It is a strategic animal that knows how to mold each situation according to its needs. It has the ability to decode hidden messages and read between the lines. 

A supreme actor, the opossum can be aggressive or submissive depending on the situation. The opossum knows that each situation has commonalities as well as differences and reflects on them carefully before it responds. This links the opossum to the energies of practicality and ingenuity. 

Always full of surprises and unpredictable opossums are masters at playing dead. When the time is right they can suddenly spring back to life. Playing dead is a self induced state in which the heartbeat actually slows and the pulse becomes minimal. This ability serves to confuse many predators giving the opossum an escape from life threatening situations.

Opossums are nocturnal and raise their young in a pouch on their mid section. The young are born blind and rely on their feelings to guide them to their destination. They learn to sense their way around at an early age developing strong instincts by the time they reach adulthood. These instincts are complimented by their inherent ability to disguise themselves. The opossum is a multifaceted actor that continually changes its appearance. It does not allow its emotions to consume its actions and partakes in the game of life with strategic maneuvers. Part of what the opossum teaches to those with this totem is emotional and mental stability. 

The opossum is a craftsman in the art of appearances. When it appears in your life it is telling you to wake up and pay attention. Things are not what they seem to be. By observing your actions, reactions, thoughts and feelings, deeper insights emerge. This emergence leads to self-empowerment.

I don't recall ever really seeing an opossum before. I'm sure I have on many occasions, just not very often. An interesting animal totem that I wanted to share.

The Times New Travel: Socotra, Yemen

Up until last night, I had never heard of Socotra Island. Described as one of the most isolated and unique places on Earth, it's located about 150 miles (240 kilometers) off the Horn of Africa in the Indian Ocean. Socotra is a small archipelago that contains four islands. With about 50,000 inhabitants, it is considered one of the premier travel destinations for those who have already seen what the rest of the world has to offer.

As you can see from the photographs and video above, Socotra is otherworldly. If I were to film a movie that needed to look like it was taking place on another planet, I'd go there. Socotra is known for its beautiful flora, including the Dragon's Blood Tree, which is unique to the island. Socotra is part of the Republic of Yemen.

Happy Halloween!

Eddie Munster with his beloved doll, Woof Woof

 Growing up, I loved watching The Munsters on Nick at Nite. It was definitely one of my favorite shows.  I especially loved how eccentric it was. Its humor still works today. Everything about The Munsters was so cute.












Now Watching: The Steez/Pats Game!

Loved This.

Meditation via pleiadiantalk


I'm new to meditation but this video put me into an absolute state of relaxation. I felt myself being levitated above my bed as well as my head rocking back and forth. I'm curious to read more about these types of occurances during meditation. I'm truly astonished at its power.

FROM EDWARD ALEXANDER (Maggador):
@kristaselene Yes, you experienced a partial out of body experience (Astral projection) and briefly had a moment of awarness & consciousness in your astral body, instead of your physical body, where it was moving a bit "out of synch" with the physical body. This is a very good thing, and also a sign that doing astral projections should be fairly easy for you, feel free to contact me if you want more information and assistance on this topic. Cheers

This message confirmed what my instincts told me. It also aligned with much of the information available online. I consider myself to be pretty attuned to my feelings and emotions. I'm glad to know that meditation and astral projection might be something that will benefit me spiritually.
