Root | Shark | Star of Bethlehem
I Am Safe.
Has your powerful inner shark been making an appearance? Shark brings the sword of bravery and the ability to move forward without drowning in your emotions. Maybe the uncertainty of your life has made you question if you can count on anyone to have your back? The message for you in this present moment is that YOU ARE SAFE.
Are you being controlled by fear and anger or are you controlling others this way? Fear is a powerful force, but it is the opposite of love. If the head of your household misused their power in your youth, you may have learned that violent words and actions are the norm. When our inner world and emotions feel out-of-control, we sometimes try to force our outer world to conform. Do you find yourself destroying things to feel them again? Sometimes we don’t feel worthy of good things so we choose not to feel them or to mistreat them, only to find out that we don’t know what we’ve got til it’s gone. Shark devours your wounded ego and the parts of yourself that you’ve rejected. If you’ve deemed yourself a bad person, shark reminds you to fully embrace all of you, the good, the bad and even the ugly. What we reject we project. If you are holding onto fear and self-hate, you will find things to fear and hate in others.
Maybe you are being invited to have fearlessness in making a choice or decision? If this is the case, shark uses his sharp teeth to cut through self-doubt so you can accomplish your goal.
Sometimes we are so afraid of losing something that we find a way to sabotage it. As strange as this sounds, this is a very common way to express our self-hate. Shame is created when we close the door to the inner healing light of self-forgiveness. Shark brings to the surface all that needs to be brought to light so you remember that you are a good person. According to Rumi, the wound is the place that the light enters you. Be brave like shark and own all of yourself, even the wounded parts that you’ve rejected, to restore the sense of wholeness and safety.

Identify self-sabotage. Notice when and why it shows up. Release the shame you are holding around it and listen to what it is telling you. Contemplate and journal the feelings relating to self-sabotage.
Mistreating yourself will always lead to mistreating others. Make healthy goals to improve your state-of-being.
Do you feel worthy of God’s love? Ask yourself that in whatever way from whichever spiritual or religious path you follow and see what comes to mind.
Are you holding onto or running from a secret that is hurting you? Find a therapist or person you trust to talk with.
Start a practice each day by stating…”God, how can I serve you today?” And notice what shows up each day to give you the opportunity to be of service. This will restore the part of you that doesn’t feel like a good person.
Did you have a healthy bond with your mother growing up? In what ways did or didn’t you? Contemplate and journal.
This trauma pattern can make you act like you don’t care about the people you love the most. It creates a blind spot of rage. Hypnotherapy, breathwork, and Reiki are 3 of many therapies to try.
Have you experienced a shock to your system? Intense trauma can continue to affect us if we weren’t able to properly integrate an experience into our nervous system. Writing it out will move it to a different part of your brain to help you integrate it.
Notice when your destroyer comes out. Do you often leave first or cut people out of your life? When has this been healthy and when has this been a destructive pattern?
Are you afraid of death? Write out your fears.
Does someone control you with anger, violent outbursts or aggressive with-holding of love? Observe any codependent patterns in your relationship and research narcissist/codependent issues.
Are you angry at feminine energy? Contemplate if you see the feminine as weak. Look at how your father viewed your mother this way.
Are you a vibrational match to being attacked or dismissed? Consider a birth trauma healing modality such as regression therapy or breathwork therapy.
Contemplate the concept of positive ownership versus possession or neglect. Healthy parents have positive ownership with their children. .
If you feel like you have a pattern of destroying anything good that shows up, pray everyday to “experience more joy in your life. “
