Follow Your Path, "Bee" on Your Journey

A compelling book, The Shamanic Way of the Bee: Ancient Wisdom and Healing Practices of the Bee Masters by Simon Buxton, discloses a journey which culminates in complete immersion. While very real, rest assured that the furtherance of your journey does not require following such a path. With that understood, the read, is unmistakably illuminating.

I was “led” to read it after encounters with 3 different individuals in quick succession with bee stories. One was stung repeatedly by bees … after looking for the hive. Another was using bees for health reasons. Another was explaining a bee hive as “big medicine” in response to someone else talking about throwing one out. Further, 2 of these individuals indicated that the book just “presented itself” to them shortly thereafter. So, I decided that perhaps it was me that was supposed to read it.

While completely unique in its’ revelation of the author’s experience, I found it to articulate and confirm the following realities.

• There are multiple paths to the divine and/or all that is.
• Everyone has their own path which others can learn from, however, it is surely
not as simple as 1 size fits all.
• Transformation takes courage and surrender.
• With power … comes responsibility.

Let me not fail to mention that there are references to sexuality which are woven within the author’s journey.

As books are read, people are encountered and/or moments are experienced which push or pull us forward, it is the calling of our own journeys. All the best for continuing on yours!!

Remembering The Four Agreements

Today I was reminded of a book that I read years ago, The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom by don Miguel Ruiz. The Four Agreements discussed therein are:

Be Impeccable With Your Word,

Don't Take Anything Personally,

Don't Make Assumptions and

Always Do Your Best.

These agreements represent the core teachings which are expounded upon in this Toltec Wisdom Book.
