How many readings do you estimate you've done at this point? So
Fox's Journey and Soul Animal Insights
00:08:11
Speaker
about four years ago, I finally started tallying. And so last four years ago, you started tallying? Four years ago. So last year's count was 800.
00:08:23
Speaker
Oh, it's a few. Yeah, so it's been getting bigger over the years. But yeah, i' so yeah, it's just steady and you know, ebbs and flows just because I think you know, not everybody needs foxes 24 seven. So wow I kind of disagree. I think we do sweet. Well, I do. I think that what you offer has such value for people and helping them understand themselves and their ecosystem and their Very animals. Thank you. Cause let me tell you, you've helped me out. Well, we've talked about before. Yeah. The Fox signature, every animal has signatures to it. And so the Fox's signature is illumination. Yeah. When people need illumination, that's when they'll find me.
00:09:08
Speaker
I'm excited for someone to sit up here for you to turn your wisdom tap all the way on and the rest of us get to observe. This is an opportunity for us to also connect and see something within. Something I promise you that will be said will be for you, even if you are not the person up here. Cause isn't that yes the way in intention. Yeah, definitely. When there's a group setting, definitely pay attention to the animals that have been noted in a space. And if you feel so inclined, look up the meanings of them. And Google's a great resource for that. Uh, even when it's something obscure, you can usually find some sort of cultural reference about the animal that will help give you some insight. And sometimes you have to get a little bit poetic with it. because not all the animals are listed. There's a lot of them on this planet. so But yeah, you have a vast knowledge of a lot of very specific species too. And if you haven't listened, I'm done. The last episode, you can go back and look and listen. I mean, every time I sit down with you, I'm consistently amazed at the vast amount of information that you house yeah like and like, not just know, but able to articulate on and to actually
00:10:15
Speaker
A lot of browsers open. A lot of browsers. So many tabs. Zootopia. Yeah, it's it's it is. It is a fun house. I love it. Thank you. I love it. Thank you. Do you ever draw a blank and you just need to just give it a Google yourself? You're like, I see it. Oh, yeah. I mean, there there are animals I don't know of that I can see the animal, but I don't actually know the name of the animal. Which is how it comes to you. When you're across from a person, it just drops in the visual. Right. Sometimes it's animals that I know that's helpful. Yeah. Cause we could just go into it. But yeah, other times it's like, Oh, no okay. So we, we might have to hit pause of that. Yeah. yeah There's that debt at our time. just going Hold, hold, hold, hold. Are we ready? Yeah. I mean, let's get down to, let's get down to it. I mean, I'm ready to jump in. Does anybody here like not know what I do?
00:11:12
Speaker
Oh, well then I will do my best to do a summary of what I do when we start reading the person who gets picked. That way you'll, you'll know, but thank you for your vote of. yeah We'll see. We'll see. Yeah. Good odds. there' There's really got really good odds. there are go happens All right. I'm going to let you put your energy on that. Yeah.
00:11:37
Speaker
They're all like perfectly folded in there, just like neatly. And I know, we feel free. All right, hold on, hold on. Make it good. All right, do that here. Let's see what we're working with.
00:11:55
Speaker
rebecca
00:11:58
Speaker
For posterity's sake. Yeah. I promise. Yeah. Well, come on up Rebecca. I'm actually going to take a seat. This is a long time coming girlfriend. Wow. All right. So I'm going to kind of turn my back on you. I got your back baby. I've got you. Alright, so as you know we're going to be talking about your soul animal. um For those of you who don't know exactly what that is, a soul animal is a species-specific animal that represents your core energy frequency. So whatever it is that you believe is driving your magical human suit, I see it as a very specific animal. And when you understand that animal's biology, all the scientific facts and fun things about them,
00:12:43
Speaker
but also the symbolism that we as human beings give that animal, we get to explore these analogies and metaphors that make you, you. Every animal's got a culture, and when you understand that animal's culture, right, you can start to understand where your thought processes come from, where your energy is best suited, and then that vibe, that signature, if you will, right, is going to be what draws certain types of situations and people to you and what will also help you navigate towards ah to help you be the best version of your animal. Makes sense? Okay. Anybody have any questions now? No? You good? You're still here with us? Great. All right. Cool.
00:13:27
Speaker
And for a quick note too, I know that spirit animals, the terminology spirit animals is a very common one across the metaphysical field. And a spirit animal in the work that I do, I quantify that as an animal that shows up on your journey to help you. Your soul animal is you. It is the mascot for your energy. And so that's the big difference now to make it a little bit more complicated. Your soul animal is a spirit animal guide to the people around you, which is why we were saying it's good to pay attention to what animals show up today because that'll be a big tone for you at this point in your life.
00:14:00
Speaker
I don't believe in coincidences anymore. So when we come into a space, any space, whether it's a grocery store, a public bathroom, a space like this, the people that we meet are definitely guides on our journey. And so it's important to pay attention, especially when you've been asking the universe for insights. Cool. Makes sense. yeah Can I add a layer Fox? Just but sure a quick point. You told me this in one of my first sessions with you, which I've had several since then. And I think that's a really cool thing that people can continue to come to see you checking in on where their specific animal is. So not only are you identifying what animal they are. So I'm an Arctic tern, but there's my bird in particular is showing you things when you're seeing into me. So my bird may have an injured wing and there may be some kind of.
00:14:47
Speaker
situation I'm in my life that is preventing me from flying, from expanding, moving forward. So I think that's really interesting too. But the other thing that you said that really stuck with me is through every lifetime, if you believe in reincarnation, you've been this soul animal. So I think it's so cool. That's the working theory. I love it, resonates. Yeah, no. And that's what can really help you too, especially if you're doing past life regression work and you're working on inner child stuff, right? Because I think we all kind of do that. No. Yes. Yes, we do. Yes, we do.
00:15:22
Speaker
But ah yeah, you can utilize the animal as a way to connect to those spaces. And sometimes it's easier for human beings to look at animals with a more gentle eye. So looking at yourself through that lens can really help you on your healing journey. So I'm going to be honest, on the way here, I asked the universe and I was like, who am I going to deal with? Cause I was getting really like antsy and I had an image of a very specific animal and you were the first one here today and that is you. So I was like, okay, good. So I'm really super excited about that. I'm very curious cause you've heard.
00:15:57
Speaker
before you picked out the name, so. Yeah, I know, right? And that sometimes happens. So I guess for those who are here, I'm a clercognizant, which is a very fancy word for a person who has intuitive mental imagery, right? So it's not that I'm actually seeing something physical or hearing something or touching something and getting a sensation, though I do have some versions of that. Claire cognizance is a lot of stuff going on in the head, which I always joke is not the best selling point. I'm like, yeah, it's all happening in here. What? But yeah, sometimes when I am going to a group and I'm getting anxious, I'm having my human moment, right? I'll ask and certain things will come through. Not always will that animal actually be present, but in your case, it was.
00:16:42
Speaker
So the big theme tonight, just so everybody's here and you know, making their mental notes is going to be about our relationships with abundance.
Symbolism and Mindset of Abundance
00:16:50
Speaker
So for all of you guys who made it here tonight, we're going to talk about abundance and we're going to talk about what that means. And ah you're going to be our guest of honor in that sense. All right. Okay. So down in the. Middle America to South America, there is a very beautiful bird um that is called the Oscillated Turkey. That's your animal. In fact, there are a lot of different types of turkeys. A lot of people, when they think turkey, they obviously think like the domesticated version, the farm version. But there are different species around the world and the Oscillated Turkey, which is spelled
00:17:28
Speaker
ah O C E L L A T E D is a very colorful turkey. So if you look at pictures of of them, they have a lot of plumage that is in the blues and reds and golds. They're more like their cousins, the peacocks, than they are the turkeys that you would find the wild turkeys here in North America. Obviously, as a turkey, the turkey family is going to be about abundance. There is the harvest aspect of it thanks to our relationship, our modern relationship to turkeys. And then there's the gratitude part too. And that's, I think, the big key for everybody today, and especially you,
00:18:03
Speaker
is to remember that abundance is a mindset and the mindset of gratitude. And it's not about the expectation, but rather the allowing for, right? So turkeys teach us that they are partner oriented when the season comes around. The males, just like the cousins, the peacocks that you were watching yesterday are very showy. They like to dance around and make a lot of noise. And then the females kind of size them up and pick. Um, so if that gives you any clue, you know, interpersonal relationships and your needs, I actually had a really great conversation with a. pea hen the other day so the female version of the peacock and she had been saying how she's been trying to really learn how to attract and she's like I need to know what I need to do to be more attractive to the things that I'm looking for in my life and I was like no no stop don't do that you're not the one who has to worry about that that's been your problem in your relationships and in all kinds of relationships so keep that in mind too
00:19:06
Speaker
I like to say that nature favors the female bird over the male. No offense to male birds. But essentially, like the reason why is because they keep them more earth-toned. And the males are usually much more showy. Now, there are exceptions to the rule. There are some birds that the males and females look the same. um But with the birds that do have the plumage differences, um it's because they're usually ground-oriented birds. So they have to be nesting on the ground, which means that they're more or somewhere that's accessible by other birds or predators. And so there's a need to kind of stay low and let yourself stay low. And and there's beauty in that. there's You'll see that a lot of the female birds who are browns and and earth tones actually do have iridescence on them. but
00:19:53
Speaker
It's hidden. And sometimes those iridescence come through a lot more during mating season. And scientists believe that one of the reasons why is because it helps the babies identify mom and dad. So that's something to keep in mind. So what does all of this mean for you? So this is the part that's more tailored to where you're at right now in your story. Sometimes when I'm looking at a person's animal, there's feelings that come through, feelings that are more my feelings, but they're helping me relate. You know, there's there's the empathic or the empathetic aspect to it, right? So what I'm seeing is wrong nest, wrong nest. Like you keep going to sit on a nest and it's not your nest. And that's tough because again, like there's, there's elements of,
00:20:47
Speaker
birds really have an inclination to create, right? And so eggs, uh, the nest, it's a representation of that creative aspect. It doesn't necessarily always mean children. It can. And so there's this, this pull, especially seasonally to like want to have that and to feel successful and fulfilled through the action of nesting. But I'm seeing you sitting on a nest that's not yours and it's not, Not for any other reason than that you're not trusting the universe. You're jumping the gun. That's what it feels like. It's like, you're like, oh, there's a nest. I should sit on it. But that's not your nest, you know? So maybe one of the things that you can start to do for yourself is pull back a little and look at all the options. Follow through on all the options.
00:21:37
Speaker
that are being presented to you right now, even the ones that don't necessarily feel like there's a possibility for a nest. Are you good? Okay. This is the part that, are you good? Yes. Okay. Yeah. I think one of the things like, so when I'm asking in my head is why, why are we so in need of the nest, right? It has to do with your relationship to home, like the idea of what a home is for you.
00:22:13
Speaker
Sometimes, as I'm sure you know, we've had traumatic experiences in our life that really shape our ideas of what things are supposed to be or what we would like them to be and we don't want to miss any opportunity at getting the thing that we would like to happen. But it's very important to come back to what your animal represents, right? This whole idea of abundance and the gratitude, right? I recently was listening to somebody speaking some sort of podcast type thing. I was talking about how when you feel overwhelmed, it is a sign of abundance.
00:22:50
Speaker
right So when things are getting too much, it it it actually means that you have everything you need. It's when you start to feel empty that that's the lack, right? But the the too much is actually an indication that you have access to the things that you need to make a choice. But it's important that you look at all of them. Like, yes, you need a hammer, and it doesn't look like there's a hammer out in front of you, but dig a little deeper in the bag, there might be one. And if you don't find one, start asking the people around you, they might have them, you know, and trust in that trust in the ecosystem around you. That is also abundance. But I know that the idea of home is really tough for you. So like, it's so important right now to
00:23:35
Speaker
have a better sense of what it is that you're really wanting, and then meet that in the manifestation. Again, you don't have to worry about attracting. All you have to do is choose, right? So move through your space and just make choice after choice, and remember that one choice isn't the end of everything, but really look and see, is that what you want it to look like? Sometimes we we get so set in that idea, like I said, we get so set in this idea that, oh, well, there it is. So that must be it. And I'll just make it work, but you don't have to settle. You don't, you know.
00:24:18
Speaker
It's important to, I guess, since we're talking to a Turkey soul, right? To talk about your cousins. The oscillated turkeys obviously are a wild Turkey species and they're actually in rapid decline because of people. Surprise, surprise. I'm not going to turn this into an environmental thing, but really protect our planet. But you know with the domesticated turkey, obviously, like I like to always bring up the fact that there's animals out there who, on some cosmic level, have made some sort of decision or choice to be integrated into this life where they've been taken you know and over and over in exchange. There's a lot of exchange there. So cattle, sheep, goats, horses, turkeys, ducks, chickens. you know These are groups of animals that
00:25:07
Speaker
are just being energetically recycled so much, right? And it's a choice. andly And for the people who are horses, one of the things I always tell them is that you know the horse is the one who's really in charge. A human being might think that they are in charge of this several thousand pound animal, but really the horse is saying, yeah, you can ride me. Right? And I think the same can be said for turkeys. It's like, yeah yeah, you can take of me. Because I don't know if anybody's ever been next to a domesticated turkey, but they're big and they can get really mean. And wild turkeys equally so. So they're not tiny little birds. They are a part.
00:25:40
Speaker
of nature and nature is a force, right? So I think it's important to remember that. But in this particular case, too, I want you to remember that just because you come from a group of animals that has been taken from doesn't mean you always have to be the one to give. Doesn't mean that you always have to be the one to sacrifice. That's another version of trust in the bigger picture is understanding that, you know, if somebody comes to you and goes, I'm hungry, You don't have to like give of yourself in order to fulfill that when there is abundance present because your energy is about abundance being present. So take a good look at the people in your life and see who are takers. And sometimes people are takers not because they're bad people, but because that's all they know. But just because they are that doesn't mean you have to fulfill the opposite end of that and be the yin and yang like puzzle piece.
00:26:35
Speaker
to that kind of behavior. You can start setting the tone, especially for the things that I can feel that you want for yourself. Home is on the horizon, but it's not here just yet. be a little bit more choosy, be a little bit more like trusting. And if it's not right, don't think that you're missing an opportunity. If i you're at a restaurant and you order spaghetti and they keep bringing you lasagna and that's not what you want, you know, you have every right to say something. But it feels like you've been the person who just takes the lasagna. So change that and you'll start to see a difference. Do you have questions for me?
00:27:12
Speaker
you're You're spot on, so it's just a lot to link. There's a lot. It is a lot. And there's also cameras. I am not even with flies. you're good. You're good. You're good. The lies. Did you say lies? No, The lies. No lies in the room. Please. You don't like those. No. But um I forgot they were in the room. so i it That sometimes happens for me too. beautiful to know about you. I've known you for a while and it's really nice to have that visual because it's just such a good read. Yeah, so beautiful.
00:27:51
Speaker
Everyone makes a turkey sound.
00:28:04
Speaker
because nobody hears a turkey. Everybody's just gurgling. yeah Did anybody who was watching this have a question or wanted to expand on any of what I was talking about? Did anybody feel anything in particular? We've got a bunch of intuitives in here today, so I didn't want to take away from any of that. Sometimes people have things that they want to add.
00:28:28
Speaker
or not. oh
00:28:33
Speaker
Oh, they do fly. Not very well. When we talk about like these kinds of birds, right? Like, uh, there's, there's several birds in here who definitely have a better flying track record. Uh, but they can, they can fly. Um, very similarly to peacocks, if you've ever seen them fly. So they can get off the ground, but they're not sure their legs are the strong suit
00:29:02
Speaker
like as you learn different things of your bird is it helpful like she's not a big flyer things that she can expand on that in human form
00:29:18
Speaker
Yes. Yeah. So like, for example, the bird on, on this side of me is a big like ocean voyage or going the distance type bird versus this bird being a little bit more homebody ish. Right. That's so true. That doesn't mean that she's never going to travel. Cats and plants, baby. The cats need their mom. but So, but, but what I think, um, I guess to expand a little bit on what, what you're asking, It's important to be in the right environment. And sometimes it will take a journey to get to those places, right? For certain animals. So an animal who is more home-based and needs a very specific environment to thrive, especially like the oscillated turkey that is endangered from human beings taking over its space.
Animal Soul Dynamics and Personal Growth
00:30:05
Speaker
It's important for you in your human experience to make sure that your space supports you.
00:30:11
Speaker
And sometimes, again, we feel like we're in the right place, but something's off and things are continuously coming up. that seem like, oh no, here's just another thing. Well, maybe that's the universe trying to help move you to a space that's more conducive to what you need. Again, it doesn't mean that you can't just take a journey and go like gallivanting around Europe. Absolutely you can, but you know, think about what that means for you and what it's doing to cultivate your goals and help you reach your potentials.
00:30:44
Speaker
does that kind of help answer yeah yeah like you referenced christina'sburg so when she comes into the system she's here for expansion whatever it is that you're working on she's here to help you go to this yes and that's what i was Yeah, and so there's always going to be somebody somewhere, as I'm sure we all know, that struggles with the idea of what abundance means for them. And abundance isn't always just financial wealth, right? Abundance is activities, community, love, art, whatever, you know, anything that is in abundance is applicable here. But what I think will help you is to find people who
00:31:31
Speaker
recognize that abundance is available and they may still struggle with being in it but are further along in their path of gratitude in their life so that there is room for you. You know, there is room to accept you and love you and and integrate you into their ecosystems and then you find what works for you in those spaces as well. It's like finding the right forest. like finding the right tree or the right island. yeah the faa The island that's perfect for you, you know? It's about matching energy. Now, just because you're a water animal doesn't mean that you have to find water animals to be surrounded by. I think that there is balance in finding ecosystems that are more varied because a ah variety can help. Yeah, for you, I think it's just it's going to be about really
00:32:23
Speaker
looking within yourself and pushing beyond these ideas of having to settle because it's here now, you know, keep looking bigger picture and be more specific in what it is that you want and let it come to you and then you can choose from it. I've known Cristina for a few years now and we did like the human design and all that. yeah um Is there like compatibility, like what you said, you know like you don't have to be in the same group of animals, but is there something like that? ah the the question the the The famous question, what is the best animal for me? Who should I be with? Yes, exactly. Who do I marry? No, no, I understand what you're asking. So and so here's the thing. Hit him with a fox.
00:33:10
Speaker
get what you get and you don't throw a fit. Okay. Sorry. been and i'm like yeah That's about right. Thank you for saying it. So you can make it work with anybody you can, but just cause you can doesn't mean you always should. Right. And here's the thing too. Like everybody is on their journey and everybody is at varying degrees within their self-awareness and their capacities. Right. So for example, like, I would love to find another Fox, right? Cause that's a person who could understand how I think and how I operate and what kind of space I need, right? But the reality is, is that we're probably gonna
00:33:55
Speaker
kill each other, you know? um As much as it would be fun, there are certain things that we really need in place that the human experience doesn't actually help with, right? Some animals like bush vipers, for example, they are not going to create colonies. I'm just going to throw you, since you're there, you know? And it's because they're competitive, you know, they're predators, they're hunters. And as hunters, they can't afford to be like sharing They're prime hunting spaces with others of their kind. And it's not because they're antisocial or can't handle a relationship with another. Obviously, that's how we get more bush vipers, right? But like um the birds and the bees. Ask your mother or father or caretaker. The internet is also useful. um
00:34:45
Speaker
and dangerous and very dangerous. Good luck. But you know, it's also finding who's going to hold the space for you. So ultimately the question is not what animal or what is the best group of animals to be surrounded by, but rather maybe think of it as the zoo you want to be in or the national park you want to be in. Right. I like to, Encourage people to think of our human experience being the park rangers or the zookeepers for our animal and you're in charge of your oscillated turkey, right? And so if you are going into a space like let's say a job a job opportunity and that particular zoo that you just applied for wants to
00:35:34
Speaker
only do aquariums filled with water. That's probably not the best place for your turkey. And while they all have a good intention, and they're all like, no, no, we have all the money in the world to build the most amazing habitats, and everybody's gonna get like this amount of space and everything, it's still not going to be enough for what you need. And if they cannot see that that is something that you need, then it's probably best you not work there, right? Because your turkey needs a very specific environment, she needs a very specific way of being and It doesn't mean that those aquarists are bad people. It just means that they're not suited for the life that you're building for yourself Again, you can make it work with anybody but make sure that that person's willing to hold that space for your animal needs
00:36:19
Speaker
Some animals need a lot of room, and in relationships, the way that human being, Landia, likes to say is that, oh no, you hold hands everywhere, you go everywhere together, and you know, you get married, have kids, do the thing, but that doesn't work for every animal. And that's not how that space is held, and that's not how those animals' cultures thrive. So it's it's like if you were getting a pet and bringing it home, you know? We all know not to feed vegetables to cats, right? Because they're true carnivores, you'll kill them. But there are people who try. And that's where therapy comes in. Right? We kind of bring it back to human experience, right? So yeah, that's, that's how that goes. So I'm sorry, I don't have a perfect answer for you. But essentially for you, I would, I would really look at people who practice mindful gratitude.
00:37:14
Speaker
Wow, that's great. Mic drop. Yeah. Wow. Any other questions, comments, concerns? Do you have any specific questions that you'd like to ask that are not related at all to anything I'm talking about except for your turkey, since this is a soul animal thing? I can't think of anything. it just just It's a lot, too. It is a lot. It is a lot. And you know most of the birds I talk to, they need time. If at any point moving forward you have questions, let me know. Yeah, we can definitely expand upon that. Yeah. Yeah. You're very welcome. Wow. So we're going to get into some Q and a and entertain questions if you're a for it. I love questions. Yes. You ever go on a road trip with it and you just do trivia questions the entire time while I'm driving, that'll be, that's my best day. Who has a question about their animal, their families, animals,
00:38:12
Speaker
or about Fox in her work, anything like that comes to mind. The question is, as a fossa, and I'm super keen on intuitive, I feel like the word that you used earlier about the conscious energy, yeah it has been turned up. how do i How do I process this information where I don't want to take in the observation and I'm finding that I'm hunkering down and staying still and thank God that my ecosystem calls me out because I wanted to stay in the tree. So maybe one of the things that we can explore is the need for a predator, an apex predator like yourself, to have that ability to tune in.
00:39:02
Speaker
Again, kind of like what we were talking about with our dear Turkey here, it's a sign of abundance. The overwhelmingness of this gift, this ability to see your entire ecosystem and absorb it is an opportunity for you. And from that opportunity, you can pick your target. Right? So for me, like I said, it's, I've got so many browsers. There's a, there's a circus, three ring circus happening over here. And, you know, there's a blue light special at Kmart and Kmart is not even around anymore. So, you know so, you know, it's important for me to have all of that. I don't think I'd ever want that to be turned off, but I can understand why it can be overwhelming at times, but.
00:39:48
Speaker
It's about asking source, the universe, the great all, right? Why all of it? And sometimes it's because all of it does need your attention. The role of a predator in an ecosystem is to remove anything that would be threatening it. So if you're suddenly heightened, there might be a quote unquote threat. I say quote unquote because it's not necessarily a negative thing. It could just be something that's coming in that you need to be a little bit more aware of. so I don't know that I could help you like to turn it down, but maybe learn to hear it. It's kind of like people who do meditation, right? They say that sometimes the best places to practice meditation is in a place where there's so much going on, so much that would irritate you, right? Because it's about finding the stillness within that kind of a space. So maybe it's being turned up so that you can find yourself within it.
00:40:50
Speaker
For you intuitively right now, there's just there's there's something in the space that needs culling, right? There's too many lemurs. It could be problematic in that forest. The lemurs might not like it, but you play a very important part in their existence. yeah I'm finding that the calling in of creating more balance has been severely abundant and it's nice to be able to scan quite quickly and feel out what is
00:41:28
Speaker
territorial, editorial. Aiding allows an affliction of calmness. Yeah. And you I'm able to scan the room quite quickly yeah now. I'm stepping wholeheartedly into that. So gracias. Yeah. Cool. course lovely Thank you. Yeah. yeah you So not everybody has to come up to the mic. We can reiterate your question. Thank you. So who is, I know Jillian is now joining us. She's a, just recently found out that she is a, what are you? A blue ringed octopus. So how is that landing for you? It's pretty fascinating to wrap my head around. I kind of had a feeling I was going to be like a sea animal creature, but I did a lot of research and they're actually like really small and cute. It's like,
00:42:27
Speaker
i don't know but very dangerous. Do not reach out to them. Blue ringed octopuses or octopodes, octopi, whatever you want to call them. Do not touch them. They have venom and they will hurt you badly. Venomous animals really don't want to have to. They don't want to have to. It takes a lot of energy to replenish that in the body. So venomous animals are going to try and warn you or get away before anything. Conflict for venomous animals is not at the top of their list. They're just like, please, no, I don't want to. We've got a couple of them in here. Yeah, it'd be cool to raise your hand if you're venomous.
00:43:06
Speaker
Yeah. yeah but So, but yeah, like the conflict is not, not a thing that they want. So people who typically are venomous animals or poisonous animals, they're going to have a harder time learning the lesson of like boundaries and how to resolve conflict in their stories. And then once they figure that out, then things will get easier for them. fuck Do you find the medicine that our soul animal is here to embody is one of the hardest things for us to embody? Absolutely. Absolutely. I found that. So, okay. So let's talk hard, difficult, right? Challenging. If we are super lucky.
00:43:56
Speaker
we are born into families which are our very first ecosystems, energetic ecosystems that we're a part of, right? If we're super lucky, we're born into a family who's ready for us.
00:44:07
Speaker
It's not always the case nine times out of 10, we're not. And the reason why there is a challenge at all with our families is because that's the challenge is the only way things are going to change, right? If things are uncomfortable, you typically want to change it to a level of comfort. So the existing animals in a family, whether you're born into that family or adopted into it or married or whatever, right? Those existing animals need you. but they may not be ready for you because of the capacities that they're at, like where where they are on their journey, right? So you could be the very medicine, but if they're not willing to see that they need medicine, that can make it very difficult for your relationship with them, but even more so your relationship with yourself. Because if you come into this world, the which, you know, all of us have clearly, and we come in knowing what we are,
00:45:05
Speaker
And we're challenged and told that we can't be that because it makes other people uncomfortable. Then we could think that maybe there's something wrong with us. And then that's where the journey begins and takes you back to places like readers and healers and. psychiatrists. like So, you know, so yeah, it is like, so in in your particular case, going the distance, you know, not to, I know you have family in the room, but like going the distance, you came into the family to kind of help show them what that could look like.
00:45:38
Speaker
And if they weren't ready for it, they would be very challenged by it. They may not like the idea that you want to go gallivanting around the world because of the challenge that that brings in. And it comes from a loving space. There isn't negativity in that, but it can be at first. very much influencing how you believe yourself to be and what your capacities are. And then you have to kind of explore that. So yeah, your medicine is difficult to learn, but once you figure it out, oh boy, the world changes. The world changes. That's interesting. I think that that relates a lot.
Emotional Sensitivity of Cetaceans
00:46:15
Speaker
I feel that a lot because I,
00:46:18
Speaker
Tell them my dolphin medicine. What am I disrupting or doing? Typically cetaceans, which are whales and dolphins. whales and bells and doalation So recently the scientific community has said that all of them are whales. All dolphins are whales, but not all whales are dolphins. So, you know, for anybody who's looking for trivia. but But so cetaceans, whales and dolphins and porpoises, we gotta include them too, um they are covered in nerve endings similar to our fingertips, so they receive information from every angle. I watched an amazing documentary while in Iceland about how they are a culture of acoustics. So in the same way that we have a very sensory culture as human beings, we like to be able to reach out and touch things, right? Whales and dolphins, their primary cultural foundation is acoustics. And that's why a lot of them are struggling in the oceans because our oceans are getting very loud because of us again, protect our planet. Um, bad but yeah, so the whole idea that you're receiving information, right. And so as a human being, thankfully.
00:47:25
Speaker
We're actually very lucky that we're not in that constant state of receiving, but a person who carries the soul signature of a whale or a dolphin or a porpoise actually is a little bit more sensitive because on a soul level they come from that space where they're constantly receiving, I feel that, you know, so you teach people how to process what you're receiving. And essentially, there's the emotional aspect because of water, water being the element that's associated with inner child work, self reflection, the psyche, emotions, right? So all of these animals that come from the water are going to have some tie to how our emotional development is happening, or our experience is happening.
00:48:08
Speaker
So you're going to challenge people on processing their feelings, which means that you'll be born into a family likely that struggles with that. And that will definitely either sink or swim through your life. And at some point you're going to have to breathe because cetaceans need air. So, and they have to come up to the surface conscious, like consciously, right? Yep. Yep. So whales and dolphins do have to consciously breathe human beings. We don't have to thankfully, but whales and dolphins actually have to think brief. And so that's another big thing for anybody who is a citation that they must remember that conscious breathing actually can help you a lot.
00:48:49
Speaker
Yeah, for sure. I don't think I breathed until about, but I don't know, seven years ago. I think I was a chronic breath holder my whole life. ah That's actually been a very common thing that I've seen, especially with little kids who who come like with their families to get read. When I see that their cetaceans, those kids early on do a lot of breath holding. Interesting. When they're anxious. That's what... Very interesting. My son is a whale, and I work with him on breathing a lot. and he You know, I don't know if it's sticking, but it seems like it's a good thing to do. Any little bit helps. There's such an interesting overlap. And for those of you who who have had other readings, like had your birth chart read, let's say, like you understand your astrology data to a certain degree, or you've had a human design reading, what is so fascinating is this information of your soul animal layers and what I'm seeing.
00:49:46
Speaker
Seamlessly because let's just talk about our artist turn who has a ton of Sagittarius sagacious energy who that's like on her path, right? I'm a water sign. I have a ton of water energy. It's very fascinating and in human design. I have a bunch of open centers. So I'm constantly taking in information. It's really fascinating. This is what I love about Fox. it This is what I love about what you do and who you are in your medicine. Whereas what I do is I'm reading a chart. So you give me your birth information and based on what I've learned through studying and through experience of these different signs and how they are embodied, I can give you some kind of reading, human design or astrology. But for you, you're just there with someone's essence and right it tracks so
00:50:33
Speaker
accurately with charts that I'm running off their birthdays. One thing that Penelope was saying about her fossa energy as an animal needing to retreat and take time and you're a double Pisces. I mean Pisces need processing time like immensely you know to go into their own energy and their own depths. like That's so important. So it's just so fascinating. I encourage you, if you are missing any of these pieces, it's like it just layers on another way to understand and to help you with creating ease in your life. And I think that that is really beneficial for for everyone to be more self-aware. Thank you. Yes. Hi, Terri.
00:51:20
Speaker
So your question for sake of posterity, does your animal kind of affect your affinity to a specific element or an environment? I would say yes. However, I've met polar bears who absolutely hate the cold. So I can't say yes, but then again, maybe that's why we choose the human experience. We could get a little sunshine. No, I think there is an element to that. More often than not, water animals tend to like the water. I have met some water animals who absolutely hate it. I met a pike, which is a type of fish who actually doesn't know how to swim and doesn't care to. So yeah, I mean, I think I think also, too, it's a part of our upbringing, our environment, you know, what we're subjected to, the experiences that we've had. Each of us has that choice, you know? Yeah, there are some things that call to all of us for whatever reason, and if we're lucky enough to be able to align ourselves to those callings, then we can have a better understanding of what works and what doesn't. But I've met some animals who are water-oriented that love living in a desert,
00:52:25
Speaker
And it might be because their souls are called there to bring the water to the desert. oh do you know cool I don't make the rules though. So it's a good question.
00:52:39
Speaker
Anybody else? Yes.
00:52:44
Speaker
specific, the Ospreys. Nope, just Ospreys. Yeah. The, the area that they'll live in is kind of what changes them up, but they're Ospreys. Yeah. The Seahawks are Seahawks. Yeah. They're a very specific group of birds. There are other type of fishing Hawks and Eagles, but the Ospreys are stand the parts. Is Michael local Osprey? No. No. Oh, okay. No, where local. No. Oh, I just, I see more like swamp area. Like not the swamps around here though. Wow. Shrek. Did you just say partner just said like Shrek, like no, no.
00:53:33
Speaker
so
00:53:36
Speaker
Maybe it's because like of some of the stuff going on with you too, but like, The water that you hunt in is murky. So, I don't know what that means. Now you need a reading, a full reading. I'm sorry. That's very life. Leave you on a cliffhanger. that's like moving on yeah yeah Well, that's, as Christina said, you can go back repeatedly to see Fox, which I appreciate because it's helpful. It is it's helpful and it's very helpful with relationship dynamics. I have to say way more to the point in an effective than any counseling I've done in my life. Hi, Jill.
00:54:20
Speaker
Ooh. Um, well, so we know that repeat. Oh, sorry. The question was, the question was, yeah can you explain for too like Jeopardy? Um, the question, the question was, can you explain relationship dynamics when it is two very different animals? For example, we know that We need each other. That's really what it boils down to. So the people that you find yourself in relationships with, whether it's one night, one moment, or an eternity is dependent on where you're at.
Relationship Dynamics of Soul Animals
00:54:57
Speaker
My advice for anybody relationship wise is to always consider who you fell in love with and why, and do you actually see them or are you seeing them through the eyes of what you want?
00:55:09
Speaker
So that's a big thing there. Now, in terms of your question, how can I explain that? Well, everybody's dynamic is going to be a little different. As I'm sure all of you who've had readings with me, you know what works for elephants doesn't work for sharks. It's going to really depend on who is there and where they're at and how authentic they're being. The closer to the mark you are being of your animal and like embodying that in your day to day, The higher the likelihood the animals around you will also be having to do that. So the dynamic will shift. Sometimes I've worked with couples who are finally stepping into that and realizing that they are not each other's guides anymore. And so they have to go separate directions. And other times they're finally working through stepping into who they are and realizing that that was why they came together.
00:55:57
Speaker
you know But all these years, they've been fighting it because of all of the stuff that they have been carrying through the years. So um again, like the dynamic shifts every every couple. But when there is such a drastic contrast between animals, My advice is to kind of visualize where your animals would come together. If this was a make believe fairy land in your particular case. Yeah. Ospreys can hunt in the ocean, but they're still not going to go after one like you because yours is from the great barrier reef. And that's not where you're going to find Ospreys. But if you can imagine like, here's an estuary, here's your octopus, here comes an Osprey or a Seahawk, right?
00:56:36
Speaker
and the seahawk comes down to the edge of the water to kind of scope out what's available. What kind of interaction would that be? Where do you guys meet? What would be most comfortable? For you, being in the water is so important. You can come out, but it's not sustainable. He has feathers that are designed to allow for the water to move. off of him very easily, but he cannot stay in the water too long. He is not that kind of a bird, right? So he goes to the water to get food. So you guys could maybe agree that the water, the emotional aspect of life is where you'll find sustenance. And that's how your relationship could be. you know Stunning. you know so But that's how you could start to explore those interpersonal dynamics between animals that are very different. Does that answer your question? OK.
00:57:28
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, I think to your point with that instance that you were just saying, because my husband's a Philippine Eagle. predator bird. I'm in the water. I got to come up to breathe. This is the international swim sign for dolphins. And I told him because I heard you give this example of like, if I'm coming up to breathe and he's like coming down on top of me doing Eagle stuff, like he's got to back off sometimes. Yeah. And
00:58:01
Speaker
I mean, i vice versa, I don't obviously go up in the air, but I am, you know. It can be the same way, in different ways. Come into the water, feel your emotions. Feel your emotions. emotion that that would be the dynamic that would be at play, right? So like if you're like, no, you have to be in the water with me to know what I'm going through, that is not a comfortable place for a Filipino. No, it's really not. Right? and And for you, what's also not comfortable is staying outside of the water too long. right So you have to be able to process. And the only way you can process is by going back in the water. right So he has to let you go down to come back up for a breath of air, which is where you'd communicate with him. right So that's that's the balancing act that needs to happen in that kind of a relationship. And I explained this pretty well. He gets it. like He's like, yeah, that absolutely makes sense. like It's so practical. like I know that what we're talking about is a little bit heady, a little bit like, whoa, what's going on? But it's so freaking practical.
00:58:58
Speaker
Well, that's, and that's it. I think we can understand things through a kind of scientific lens sometimes yeah a lot easier. And that's where your animals can help. You can go, but my animal needs this. And a person can go, ah, that makes sense. You're a dolphin. You need water. you know, versus like you saying, well, for years I had to deal with my mother and the feelings I have, I have feelings. There's so many, I just, want a feeling why don't you get me? You know? So it's sometimes easier to just be like dolphin water and they'll go, Oh, okay. Yeah. Cool. That tracks tracks. Yeah. Well, as we're wrapping up, if anybody has anything else they'd like to add or share, does anybody here who's had their animal have anything they'd like to share about their animal, their experience?
00:59:45
Speaker
Anybody at a ah crossroads with with their animals, their experiences?
00:59:54
Speaker
No? Nothing from the lion? Haha, lurking in the bushes. She'll sneak up on you. I've been there. ah Not to put you on the spot, I just. So your question is, how do you let go? Okay. Do they not chase them away? Some big cats will be very territorial once the, yeah right? So a lion won't really. Yeah. So lions, there's a strong sisterhood there and like a motherhood aspect. So for them, it's not common for the females to leave. It's, they usually chase off the males.
01:00:44
Speaker
And that might be a part of it is that how personal do we want to get? So what I'm hearing her say, you're lying is you're not going to be lonely.
01:01:02
Speaker
You're not. It's, you might think you're going to be, but you're not.
01:01:08
Speaker
I think right now you feel like you have purpose and that purpose is defined by who's present. And when those individuals are no longer present, it feels like there's no purpose. And for a lioness and a pride, there's a need for camaraderie family, right? But maybe your purpose in this particular case is to release so that the environment can thrive. Because your cub isn't a lion. And so sometimes these ah other animals need to go to other ecosystems so that they can help them. But you're not gonna be lonely. You're welcome.
01:01:55
Speaker
Are you okay? All my nerve endings are tingling. All my feelings are tingling. Thank you all for being so transparent, vulnerable. Thank you for turning on the tap of your immense wisdom and sharing all of that with us.
01:02:16
Speaker
I was just going to offer invite if anybody feels authentically inclined to leave a review on the podcast page and you want to say something, you know, about listening or even tonight.
Conclusion and Listener Engagement
01:02:27
Speaker
Um, I am doing a drawing for a full session with Fox. Um, so this could be for you locally. It could be for someone at a distance because she works virtually. So if you want to do that, just send me a little screenshot of your review, um, on my Instagram. which is vibe with intuition and yeah, you'll be entered to get into that and you will go even deeper than we went today because that will be a full hour. least an hour session Yeah. So that is something to think about, but thank you all for being here and sharing your energy and being so openhearted about the experience that was offered tonight. Yeah. No, thank you.
01:03:11
Speaker
You guys put in a lot of work, and I'm really grateful that this is something we do. I know. Right? It's so good. It's just so cool. So thank you. Yeah, we're building quite the little vibe fire around here for everyone to come warm up to. So I appreciate that. I love that. Oh, babe. Wow. Thank you, Christina. Thank you for being here. Thank you.
