Happy Friday and welcome to another Soul Map reading! Whenever I do readings, I am always listening for how someone else’s message lands for ME. I have learned over the years that Spirit brings everyone exactly what they need, when they need it. So when I sit down to read for someone, I pay attention. There is ALWAYS a message for me, too. And the timing is usually spot on.
Below is the map for a lovely woman, and my interpretation of some key messages that go beyond her personal map and translate into guidance for us all (myself included).
Black Panther is all about inner power.
I have a book I use to interpret messages from animal spirits. It’s called “Animal Spirit Guides” by Steven D. Farmer, PhD. When I saw the black panther for this mama of three, I went straight to the book. And, there was no page for a Black Panther. So then I turned to the internet and learned that a “black panther” is a generic term used to describe a large cat with melanism (too much pigment). Typically, they are either a jaguar or a leopard. Fascinating. So this image is really broken down into multiple pieces…
Leopard: spend time in solitude, preferably nature
Jaguar: tend to your internal solitude, and keep your dreams in your heart before sharing them so they can marinade and grow.
This is a message of getting still and noticing. As a mom of three running her own business, I can only imagine the challenges with this request. However, this is the invitation. With the world around us loud, chaotic, and demanding so much attention, it’s easy to put ourselves on the back burner and not carve out time to listen to our inner guidance. But if we want to live an authentic life and experience magic unfolding around every corner, we HAVE to learn to listen to OUR guidance, not anyone else’s. That is where our strength and power lies.
The color black: with a melanistic animal, they stand out during the day and amongst their peers. They are different. Majestic and noticeable. It’s only at night that they disappear. For this mama, the invitation was to pay attention to her dreams. She is deeply prophetic and intuitive, and right now Dreamtime may be the quietest place for spirit to show her the way. This was the second conversation I had this week regarding spirit speaking to us in dreams. So I’m including it here. Personally, my dreams have been NUTSO! They have been showing me, with their craziness, the places where I am still healing.
Sit in Wonder of the stars: This Black Panther mama stares lovingly at three stars in the sky… her three kiddos. The invitation here is to look at them “through the eyes of wonder” (spirit’s exact words). Can we drop our pre-conceived notions and old stories to simply be in awe? Again, this message was definitely for me, too. This past week I have been curious about where I am clinging to something out of attachment to an outcome, versus letting it go and letting god take care of the rest. Releasing the need for my alien art to “be a thing” in some sort of pre-conceived way allowed me to be open to doing intuitive art readings again. And it’s been a blast! Sometimes we just need to shift our mindset just a smidge to be back in the magic of life.
Pink Moon and Sacred Geometry… and another kid: Here’s how our text conversation went after I completed her reading…
ME: has your daughter been asking for a sister?
HER: OH MY GOD… YES. 😂
I saw a comic once describe what it was like to have a fourth kid. He said “imagine you’re drowning and someone hands you a baby…”. Ha! Sure, this is possible. But what if it is liberating? What if that thing you thought would be the final straw is actually the key that opens up doors you never thought possible? It’s all about mindset and surrender… believing that everything is always working FOR you and surrendering to the flow of life. Fortunately, this mama is super dialed in and very open to possibility. She understands that life’s little gifts aren’t always what we expect, but exactly what we need. So much more came from this imagery and message that is personal to her, but the offering here for you is to be open to wonder and surrender to the flow of life. Be curious about your pre-conceived ideas of what is “good” and “bad”, and see every “obstacle” as a wonderful and beautiful opportunity to re-evaluate and re-direct. Ironically, the intention she set for her reading was financial freedom. On the surface, having a fourth kid does not feel like financial freedom. AND… that message showed up for a reason. With a little re-direct, we were able to see how it could be even better than she could have imagined.
Stick your tail in the earth: Ground down, people! Literally stick your booty (tail) on the earth and put your bare feet in the grass. This equilibrates your electric field with the earth’s. You can buy grounding pads and sheets and pillows to ground inside, or you can just go barefoot in the park. The message from the art suggests that it doesn’t matter how you do it, just do it (see the little plug on her tail?😉).
As in the last reading, there is so much more here that is personal for my sweet mama friend, who has graciously allowed me to share her art and some of the message (thank you!). I’d love to know how this lands for you! Either comment on substack or send me an email. And if you’d like your own Soul Map Art, we can chat about how that looks, too.
Until next time, and happy Friday!
with love,
Peyton
