Manifesting Creatures
Ah....summer! I will admit, I am not a fan of "buzzing" insects. I certainly never embraced them, but my feeling of wanting to remain distant was strengthen several years ago after being swarmed.
This past month has been interesting. Early in June, while cutting back on the lush growth of a giant buddleia in my yard, I came within just a few inches of putting my hands directly on a nice sized hornet nest dangling from the end of the branch. While I don't like killing anything...the nest had to go.
About 10 days later, I notice some yellow jackets. As I watched I realized there were lots of them...coming and going under the deck! The person who came out to care for this nest, too a look, and donned a "bee outfit" (not sure what they are really called). He dusted the nest from above and there were literally hundreds of yellow jackets taking off for the trees. He then went below and dusted again. That nest was the size of a basketball.
I have to wonder why and how I attracted these creatures into my sacred outdoor space. And if I did indeed manifest something that did not make me happy, what is it saying about the rest of my life?
To me, part of successful aging is taking responsibility for your actions, your results. If I can bring this discomfort into my life, can I not bring comfort, health and abundance into my life as well?
I challenge you to take a look at your life and ask yourself the same questions. You just may realize how powerful you are.
It all starts with a question.
