Spider energy

While the Herd is having a break from work, counselling sessions are, for the most part, held indoors in my office.

Nevertheless, I am thrilled to share that my clients and I still receive support from our non-human friends.

This week, a small spider slid down a silk thread, right into the middle of the conversation that was happening!

The spider stayed in the conversation for the duration of the session. (Afterwards it was no where to be found!)

When this happens, I ask myself what the visiting helper is sharing.

What energy is being gifted to us?

When I think of spiders, I think of creativity, and how they are often described as the totem of writers.

Cara is a fabulous writer, and is scared of spiders! I cannot figure that one out!

Another message that spider has for us is the experience of entanglement (like when a fly gets caught in the spider’s web).

We all know how complicated human relationships are and we have all found ourselves entangled in a relationship that is not nourishing us.

Apparently, spiders create two types of silk thread: one is sticky and one is not.

Spiders themselves only walk on the non-sticky threads of their beautiful web creations.

That feels like a message about boundaries.

A message about honouring your own uniqueness.

A message about allowing ourselves to enjoy our own personal creations.

Spiders are obviously wise counsellors!
