Yesterday it felt like I was in an episode of the Twilight Zone or in a movie being viewed by the Mystery Science Theater 3000 folks. It was strange yet filled with (sometimes funny) messages.
Before resting, I was greeted (and bothered) by several mosquitoes. My natural inclination was to slap them away as soon as they approached me. I’m not fond of these blood suckers because they love to leave large reminders all over my legs of their presence.
Well, I must have assisted about 9 mosquitoes in their transition last night and was mumbling to myself, “What does this mean?!?!” So, after closing a window that was essentially their doorway to a feast, I picked up my copy of Animal-Wise to gain some insight on this night of mosquito terror.
The following assisted me in learning more about their presence…
Blood infections, of which mosquito bites are, often reflect temporary things we are allowing to affect our vitality and joy. The key is that these things are temporary and should not be dwelled upon.
All irritations of the skin should get us to ask questions about what is aggravating us, what kinds of unresolved issues are irritating us, and what kinds of things we are itching to do but failing to do.
When mosquitoes truly become pests, we need to take a serious look at the environment in which we are working and living. Perhaps we need to be more protective of ourselves. Perhaps we are becoming too still and stagnant.
When mosquitoes appear, irritations are short lived. We should focus on protecting our creative projects, our own sense of joy and accomplishments.

Nature is a great teacher with a sense of humor. The mosquitoes that survived probably went and told their friends about you. LOL

I am a firm believer of animal and insect totems. I love this book and his other one Animal Speaks. Its always so on point. You’ll know when an animal or an insect is trying to tell you something. Its like seeing a beaver on your patio and you live downtown new york! LOL

yep, his other book Animal Speaks is just as helpful. i enjoy figuring out what animals are attempting to convey through their presence.
heh heh @ the mention of seeing a beaver on a patio in downtown ny.
