The Fierce Journey To The Heart Of The Goddess
There are many divine beings around us throughout our lifetime. When I do a reading, a variety of angels, spirit guides, ascended masters, and goddess archetypes may show up to lend their wisdom, love, and guidance to my clients, for whatever situation they are going through.
Not only do we have guardian angels constantly with us, but we also have various ‘inner band’ and ‘outer band’ spirit guides who interchange through different periods and cycles in our lifetime. We also have deities or higher-level beings with us during certain times.
Recently I have had many encounters with the goddess Kuan Yinin during readings. She is the Buddhist bodhisattva associated with compassion and was first known as the ‘goddess of mercy’ among Jesuit missionaries in China. Guanyin, Guan Yin or Kuan Yin, is short for Kuan-shi Yin, meaning she who ‘observes the cries of humanity.’
She is a popular goddess in Chinese folk religion and worshipped in many communities and cultures all over the world. In the mid-17th century outlawed Christians in Japan created statues of the Catholic Virgin Mary disguised as Kuan Yin, known as the ‘Maria Kannon.’
I have always associated her with compassion, kindness, and forgiveness, but I was recently reminded that Kuan Yin rides a dragon! This makes a lot of sense to me, now that I have examined her legend more closely.
Kuan Yin is teaching us by example. To arrive at a place of compassion and kindness, we must first piece through some uncomfortable feelings of anger, sadness, and fear, to arrive at the ‘heart of the goddess.’ Kuan Yin rides her dragon of fierce bravery through stormy waters and scorching fires. She follows through with the journey to a place of completion and does not avoid the challenges that confront her along the way.
Connecting With Your Dragon Guides
Did you know you have dragon guides? Yes, we all do! Perhaps you have even more than one. Thousands of years ago dragons did exist in our world, even though today we see them as ‘fantasy’ creatures. Within every myth, legend and fairytale, there’s always some truth.
Just like everything else that we have ignorantly failed to understand throughout the course of human history, we were fearful and afraid of dragons. So, we took a ‘defensive’ approach by destroying them, instead of living in peace with them.
Dragons are highly intelligent creatures, much like the dolphins of today. They are also highly intuitive, and if we had chosen to work with them in the correct way while they were still here in our world, they could have been greatly beneficial to our lives. Instead, we extinguished them out of fear.
They came from another dimension to be with us on the Earth plane – most likely from the 5th dimension or beyond. By ‘dimension’ I mean a more intelligent and civilized plane of existence, where all creatures are more aware and considerate of the other beings around them.
I believe the dragons came here thousands of years ago to help us evolve and teach us to be more respectful of nature. But, after centuries of trying to co-exist with our violent, destructive species, they gave up and went back home to their higher dimension realm.
But you see, because they are so smart, they found another way to continue communicating with those of us who are open and willing to learn from them and today we can telepathically connect with them. Dragons are guides that come to us as spirit animals throughout our lives, depending upon what we are going through at that moment in time.
