The magic of shells

 

Do you remember the first shell that sparked your curiosity to discover more?

 

Maybe you have a jar(s) of shells you've collected, as a momentum. 

While holding those water realm forms & shapes was your explorative imagination brought to the surface?😉

 

In today's post we dive into the magic of shells, their property messages & how they might assist you.

 

Shelling II

The tools are provided

 

Ancient tribes around the world recognized an object, that was once the home of a sacred being, to have spiritual energy.

Shells have been and are used as fetishes, enhancing ornamentation/jewelry, protection from negative energies, ceremonial pieces, as well as tools to stimulate intuition and spiritual connection.

Remember that shell you put to your ear to hear the ocean? Well it turns out there is something to that. Temple Initiates were taught to be intuitive and hear inner voices by listening to a seashell. I'm sure further history holds the origins of this practice.

 

Mother Nature makes no mistakes, every object, animate or inanimate, is surrounded by its own energy field.(1)  

With the ocean as their place of birth, each shell has been grown following a pattern of sacred geometry. This geometry is an essential part of their composition. 

Nature's elemental objects of desire each have a song, a frequency, and are imbued with information and purpose, carrying a message. Our job is to allow and experience/receive.

 

Shells, energy-wise, ignite & bring inspiration! It's literally their calling! So why not use the natural tools she provides.

 Allow Your Inner-Voice

 

At times, you may have experienced a need for a spark of inspiration, an idea-to work, a revelation, to reach an answer to complete a project.

 

Remember those seashells you collected at the beach!

 

Next time you experience this, I invite you to arrange seashells with imagination, intuitively placing them to give some insight. (Among or around your current project). Move the shells around, be fluid with placement and arrangement- it's more about an interactive immersion.

 

Allow yourself space with an innocent approach. As you honor the process, seashells remind us of the fluid movement of flowing within.

 

In this way pathways are revealed. And your mind begins to be free within the moment.

 

Reminders

 

Children are open to receiving and remind us of the innocent play that brings streaming wonder & creativity. So let's draw upon that innocent approach! (This is guilt free, heehee)

 

Not to fret, if the process doesn't seem to happen straight away. Be patient, you know how the saying goes... allow the process to unfold. As a result new pathways are emerging and gaining strength. The more you allow the sooner the activating insight/qualities awaken.
