Guardian Dog, Totem, Lord of Benevolence

The Guardian Dog is the instrument of the lover. We often think of the dog as a protector. They protect us and have wonderful loyalty as long as we treat them respectfully and with love. The lover is loved and the loved is the lover.

The dog is attentive, listening and focused. The same kind of focus when they are waiting to greet us when we come home. What a great feeling to be greeted by your best friend.

Trust is a great characteristic of the Guardian Dog. Be trustful and attentive. Where do I put my trust? In the Divine!

The Totem is all about family, especially Spiritual family. It is our connection with the past. It is the karma we bring into this life. It is about genetic influences.

There is great power in the Totem and the connection with our ancestors. Draw upon that power and to the Earth. We can make a difference in so many ways. Ask Earth Mother what you are to do, then do it.

The movie 'Avatar' reminds us of our connection with Earth Mother. Remember that there are traces of our ancestors in our DNA. We are from them. We have, however, our choices at this time. Look for karmic bonds.

The Lord of Benevolence is holding his hand open to the bird, representing Spirit. Let the bird take these seeds from us. Offer them to Spirit. Some call this surrendering it.

This is the answer: be open, allow more information to come to you. Be in the Present and at peace. Call Spirit to you. Calling makes the connection.

This is largely a mental space. You know how to get to it don't you? Begin with the concept.

How is your attentiveness?  How about as it relates to your family?  Totem tells us to look to our spiritual family.  Be grounded and consider your connections to the past.   Spirit wants to give us what we need on all levels.  Be attentive to what you are asking and allow Spirit to bring you the best for your highest good.

You are loved and blessed.
