Morning!
My wonderful Auntie graciously sent me this (Via Carrie Hart/Quado that I’ve been inspired by for years) and I wanted to share it with you. It inspires me! Being a Fox by Name (until September that is..) I find these words resonate with me… about me.. within me…and I will be invoking the Spirit of the Fox as I continue my journey… The Fox will always live within me… and me in Her.
Fox Power Unleashed
Here, come here, come with me now into this deep thicket. Feel how
easily you can slip through the secret passageways of life, following
the certain knowledge passed down to you by the generations of foxes
who came before. It seems dark, but you can see, you can feel what is
around you. You feel a deep oneness with the ground under your feet
and the foliage tight around you. There is a deep security and confidence in
your knowingness, for you are the fox and life is an endless series of unfolding
passages known only to you.
At Ease in Social Situations
As a fox, you live easily in many worlds. One world is that of glorious
sunshine and fellowship, in which your beauty shines out for all to see.
In this world of interpersonal relationships, you are beauty and grace
itself. You can mix easily with others and have supreme confidence in
your sleek elegance and glowing beauty. You are always right in all
social situations, for your innate sense of confidence in your own
beautiful shine makes it easy for you to be charming and witty, the center
of attention when you care to be. All shyness and concern over your
appearance disappear as you walk about easily, knowing that you are
exactly as you should be, looking just as you should look, doing exactly
what is needed in the situation.
Your social life is easy and flowing. And it comes from an innate charm,
the charm that is known only to those who are so confident in their
appearance and manner that they are never self-conscious and worried,
but instead can allow themselves to focus easily on others, knowing an
ease in social situations built on a central core of confidence and
self-love. This ease is now yours, for you are the fox.
The Ability to Blend at Will
Even though you have the ability to shine in the social world, you are
also able to blend in and virtually disappear when that is required or
desired. You have an uncanny ability to call in your camouflage and
slinky ways when you care to. When you choose not to be the center of
attention, you simply disappear, mentally going into a little foxhole
and allowing yourself to be disguised by your colors. This ability is
like pulling a cloak of invisibility over you, and you use it at will.
This means that in a stressful situation, when others are looking to
find someone to take the blame, you pull your fox invisibility down and
simply observe, unemotionally, not attached to the outcome, but watching with
your alert eyes and mind, waiting until the right time to emerge.
Though you may seem invisible to others in these circumstances, you are in a
state of high alert, watching and seeing into others. For you have
the ability to see and feel and know the emotional state and mental
intentions of those around you. And you use this to decide whether to
shine out with charm and wit or to withdraw into invisibility. The
combination of these two skills allows you to move easily in the world
of others, dealing with outer situations in whatever way your intuition
tells you, for you are the fox.
Intuition and Anticipation
Your intuition is your greatest ally in your life, for it is not only
attuned to what others are doing and thinking right now, but is an
intuition of anticipation. Your sharp intelligence combines with your
intense intuition to allow you to anticipate what is coming. When you
feel good things coming, you preen your beauty and step out into the
light. When you anticipate trouble, you slip down the foxhole and simply
go away, letting it stroll down the path and miss you completely.
Even though you are always in a state of high awareness, you are very
relaxed. Your trust in your intuition is such that you never worry.
You know that you will be able to anticipate trouble and slip away.
And when you find yourself in the circle of others, you know that your
clever ways and great charm and beauty will help you through. You are
therefore utterly confident, relaxed and fearless, for you are the fox.
Devotion to Others
There is yet another life you enjoy and that is the life of your family.
(Kerilyn says ‘Friends are our Chosen Family’)
You are devoted to those you love and spend wonderful moments cuddled up
warmly in the circle of friends and family. You are able to develop very close-knit
relationships that last for a lifetime. Your deep confidence and love of
yourself allow you to be deeply compassionate and loving with others. You are
not competitive or aggressive. You are loving and caring, always a good helper
and teammate. The friendships you form are deep and lasting and your family is
a great comfort. You know that the petty annoyances of others are nothing
compared to this great bond and the love you share when you are tucked away in
your hidden home, away from the glare of the light and the intrusions of
outsiders, safe and warm and comforted in the center of your own clan.
The Ability to See New Patterns
You see patterns differently than others. The world through your eyes is
like a network of interconnected things, all there for you to make sense
of. What is a solid obstacle to others is a network of open opportunities
to you, like a bush that appears solid but is really just leaves and
branches that easily give way when you have the heart, courage and
creativity to just charge right in.
Your uncanny ability to build new pathways in difficult terrain keeps
your beauty intact as you travel, allowing you to emerge victorious
where others become scratched and bruised. You emerge in your beauty
effortlessly as the world naturally gives way and opens up to you, for you are
the fox.
Resourceful and Clever Problem-Solver
This ability to see patterns missed by others and to discern openings
in the densest of circumstances makes you a consummate problem-solver.
Your mind is faster than most, and you solve problems quickly and
decisively. Your mind is too quick to spend time in analysis and
pondering, in explanations and justifications. You perceive and you
act. Your cleverness and intuition work together seamlessly, for you
are the fox. (Ok..NOT me..Actually I’m the Opposite… sez Kerilyn)
You are deeply resourceful and endlessly clever. There is no situation
that can get the better of you (um… Kerilyn says REALLY? HA!) , for you
are always able to find new ways out of difficult situations.
(Again, Kerilyn says.. um… I don’t think so. Laughing!)
You are never cornered and unable to act. You never just still and fall into
despair. Your alert mind and highly developed instincts always
help you find a little hole to scurry down or a new path to forge.
You have a highly developed sense of the ways one might go,
the many solutions to any problem. You are full of creativity and fun,
forging new pathways, opening new explorations and adventures,
quickly darting here and there and finding ways to leave
this and run to that.
(OK.. Kerilyn says..That paragraph doesn’t really apply to me..)
Your life is fun and exciting, full of creativity and newness, for you
are the fox.
How to Join with Fox Energy
Fox Invocation
I breathe in deeply and open myself to golden cleansing energy
I ask that it may flow through me, from head to toe,
Clearing me and preparing me for the vibrant energy of the fox
My mind is quiet and clear
I am open now to new ways of thinking
My heart opens wide and grows soft and warm
I am open now to new ways of loving
My center grows calm and deep
Like an endless pool of still water
I am open now to new ways of being
I am ready
I stand in the light of love
And invite fox energy to come to me now
To fill me and empower me
To transform my life through the great gifts of the fox
I feel the fox energy as it fills me
As I run joyfully through the underbrush, from burrow to bush,
I feel life becoming clear and making sense, like a puzzle I know
how to solve I fill with confidence in my own great beauty and charm
I feel my intuition growing sharper as I fill with a deep
connection with all that surrounds me
And my heart opens wide as I fill with gentle love
I know my power, the power of the fox
I am now one with fox energy
I will feel it and be it in every moment
For I am the fox
I am completely at ease in social situations
Fully confident of my charm and beauty
And that I will always know just how to act
And when I want to, I blend in invisibly
For I am the fox
My intuition is so strong and I am so closely attuned to others
That nothing ever takes me by surprise
For I am the fox
I give thanks for this gift, for this grace
And with each breath I take I now know
I am the fox
