LADYBUG

Well I know its been absolutely ages since I last posted a blog! Being a mother is a very demanding role, but an amazing one.
I have not long resumed my workshops and currently have one running in Lincoln but the other day I was inspired and it is because of this I chose to write on my blog.
Over the past week or possibly longer I have been noticing ladybugs. I would look down whilst walking and see one usually sitting on a leaf and think 'oh, what a nice ladybug' and then think nothing more of it. The other day the whole back of the house was covered in ladybugs and they also began to enter into the lounge and the bedroom!! There were hundreds of them! I then began to recall that I had noticed odd ones here and there and felt perhaps that they were trying to give me a message, one of which I was not hearing so they decided to flood me with their presence. I was going to listen!
I looked up the spiritual significance and the symbology behind the ladybug and discovered this which is taken directly from Daniel Mapel's website on his Animal Essences:

Ladybug: Invoking and embodying spiritual insight, spiritual groundedness, pulling in and grounding higher energies

I felt like this was extremely relevant to me as I have struggled with my own grounding since giving birth to my wonderful daughter Nieve.
Further to this story.......I have a dear friend in Australia who knows someone that works with the Animal Essences and this woman can 'see' what animal is with you and then prescribes that essence to use. She passed my photo to this woman and asked her to pick an essence for me. Low and behold, she chose Ladybug! I have been in the habit of removing the ladybugs from inside the house purely because I thought they may die inside but now I have decided to accept all that it is that they have to offer me. I am no longer putting them outside in order to send the message to spirit and the dear ladybug that I am listening and I shall take heed of the message. Do you always see and hear yours??? Sometimes they are in the most subtle of places, like the leaf of a tree.........

Thankyou for my blessing.
May you have many.xx
