The Snake Appeared Three Times To Guide Me

A few days ago, I began my usual walk through a local park carrying a quiet sadness. I sense of heaviness has been sitting on my chest for several days.

A few minutes into my walk, something shifted.

I saw a snake.
​​
I stepped back, my breath caught in my throat.
​
As I watched her beautiful brown skin shimmer in the sun while she effortlessly glided through the grass, my fear softened into awe.

I realized how deeply conditioned I had been to be frightened of snakes; even though, another part of me was fascinated by the ancient wisdom she carried.

In many spiritual traditions, the snake is a powerful symbol of healing, transformation, and rebirth. She is a messenger of Mother Earth and a reminder that poison can be alchemized into medicine.

I stood there watching her move with grace and poise, until she disappeared into the bushes.

Then, 35 minutes later, as I returned along the same path, she was there again.

Right at the same spot!

Not once, but twice.

It was a clear confirmation.

As I stood still, once again, watching her, I felt myself attuning to a message I needed to receive.
​
I’ve been shedding a layer of myself that had unconsciously fused with my identify; a part of me that sought validation of my worth through external accomplishment and achievement.
​
Several days ago, when I held that part of me in love, a deep sadness rose to the surface. Walking through the park had become my way of being with that sadness.
​
The snake felt like a mirror of my internal process. A part of me was dying and something new was being born.

Old internal structures were falling away. Less driven by the need to accomplish, I felt more open, more receptive.

I felt more available for Divine guidance.

The following day I went for a walk in another park that I frequent visit, a wilderness park.

As was returning home, the same type of snake crossed my path!

This time, I chuckled.

She obviously had more lessons to teach me about primal instincts, intuition and the life force itself.

The conversation with mystery continued.
