Join the Heart Collective as we dive deep into one of our favorite subjects – AWAKENING. We ask what is awakening and how it occurs on a personal and collective level, and how each affects the other. We also discuss how we become awake, what this process can look like, explore realities and choices we are being presented, and how awakening and its journey can drastically affect our lives.

In this episode, we had a surprise visit with a deer family of 4. Unfortunately, they didn’t make it into the camera shot so we had to edit out a great deal. We also had to restrain Taryn’s dog and calm her with Reiki and lots of love as she wanted to run off into the woods with them so apologies for the moments of bad audio – although we think the dog panting sounds are cute :-)! Interestingly, we looked up deer medicine and this is what this website had to say which we thought was so appropriate for an episode on Awakening:

Throughout the world, Deer symbolizes tenderness tempered with strength. This allows Deer Spirit to act even when obstacles challenge the path. Deer also comes as a playmate for our inner child reminding us of innocent times where the smallest flower provided a smile and excitement.

Deer medicine is strongly connected to the heart chakra. Where there is ambition, there is also love for inspiration. Deer, even when running from a predator, remains graceful. This means that Deer Spirit appearing in your life acts as a teacher of how to be gentle, determined and sure even in difficult situations. Remember that a gentle soul is not a helpless one. Deer wisdom shows you how to use your great horns for defense.

Deer may also challenge you to leave behind the safety of your grassy bedding for fresh horizons. Ever vigilant, Deer moves often for protection. As you move with her don’t take the negative patterns with you, rather let new surroundings inspire different perspectives. By so doing you create the energies of regeneration and renewal even as Deer’s antlers grow back when they fall off.
