“ Welcome the Year of The Pig” 2019
Hello Animal Lovers,
This month we are saying Goodbye to “The Year of The Dog” and welcoming in the “Year of The Pig”, beginning February 5th.
Using Chinese Astrology, The year of the Pig; brings luck, and overall good fortune, it is a great year to make money, and to invest. A year full of joy.
From a spirit animal perspective the pig represents; time to face your fears, and resolve them to find peace. Bring closure to what no longer serves your highest purpose. Stop procrastinating. Now is the time for good fortune, prosperity and great personal growth.
When I think of Pigs, one magical girl comes to mind.
I would like to dedicate this article to “POLLY”( from Djanbung Permaculture Gardens ) with permission from Robyn Francis, Polly’s beloved guardian.
“I remember when I first knew of Polly. I saw a photo come up on Facebook. Polly (and some of her companion friends) had been brutally attacked and traumatised by some “out of town” youths who were high on drugs. It was a senseless rampage. I won’t go into the details. I reacted by bursting into tears, then vomited and realised how ashamed I am, at times, to be a part of the human race. I reached out to Robyn to offer my services in any capacity.”
I must admit, I drove to this session with trepidation, sadness and anger for what all those sentient beings had to go through. I also knew from the moment I heard of Polly, I had to assist her in any way I could.
Polly was an excellent communicator, and what struck me the most, was how present and peaceful she was. She acknowledged the ancestors and guardians. Polly Spoke of her nickname. Her favourite places for pats and was also thankful for her new fencing.
One of the sweetest things that came through. Was her want to “go back to work” running tours. And she was also incredibly grateful to everyone who helped her. She said it was “all the love that helped her heal the most”
During our session I allowed her to choose some oils I had brought with me ( thanks to Karen). She loved the oils and her Reiki treatment, and spoke of the healing hugs she received from everyone too.
I drove away that day a changed person. Polly showed me the importance of not showing pity or sadness. Instead to acknowledge the bright light that shines within all of us and they will shine even brighter. Seeing the good in people, it always out weighs the bad. Keep your vibration high, as that is the only way to heal. Accept all the love and assistance that comes your way. You deserve it.
Polly is the epitome of unconditional love and forgiveness. Both her resilience and strength, extraordinary.
Polly, sadly has since passed away, in her own time and in her own way, at the tender age of 13 (which is testament to her wonderful guardian’s ).
She was living evidence that animals are far more evolved than us humans. Her legacy will always live on. As a survivor, pioneer (she helped set up the gardens), permaculture tour guide and remarkable teacher.
Many thanks to Robyn and all the lovely souls who helped Polly.
