Dragons! Child like inspiration & letting go of control. Facing your fears. 6 min read
This is a look into the deeper work that dragons can facilitate in us personally.
To look at how Rachael has worked with them in the past in Earth healing and human healing; please have a look at this blog. There is also a fab checklist to see if you work with dragon energy.
I did a wonderful workshop a couple of weeks ago with Caroline Mitchell ‘Dragons of Atlantis’. And yes, it was as amazing as it sounds!
If you would like to work with dragons I would recommend that you work with someone who is highly experienced at working with them. The work they come to do is very deep and with many jumping on the band wagon, make sure you work with someone who understands the gravity of the work.
Caroline has certainly earned her title ‘the Original Dragon Lady’ as she’s been working with them about 15 years; if I’ve got that right.
I’ve been working with them about 5/6 years now. For me, Caroline has got the balance right. She’s down to earth, friendly & fun, but also respects the work. Please have a look at her page for more info.
What is fascinating about these days is how many recurring themes there is. And indeed it is the Universe bringing certain people together who are at similar points of their journey.
The Language of the Universe; Synchronicity
People came from all over the country to Aristia in Southsea; as far as Liverpool so much was the draw.
Sometimes we end up with affirmation; another lady and I had a Shaman healing at the beginning of one session. Caroline confirmed her interpretation was that it was one of the Atlantian Alchemists who worked with the dragons in Atlantis.
The treasure a workshop holds
If you’ve never done one of these days I would highly recommend it!! So much fun and shiny new people to meet!!
Information and introduction to the dragons of Atlantis and they’re different roles. How they worked with the Atlantians till it started to demise; illuminating why dragons have the mythology around them they do. Just fascinating!!
Some healing and connecting visualisations; which many of us found, as Caroline predicted, were also there to heal the Earth too. That being one of the dragons many interests. And one area I have been working with them on.
As I journeyed I had a dragon master who needed healing himself, in order for him to put right what he needed to from that period in Atlantis. Before I myself had a healing.
I also had a connection with a new dragon. If you read my other dragon blog you’ll see I work with a couple already.
And, using popular culture as a reference, this one came through looking like Digby dragon if anyone else has the pleasure of Channel 5 in the mornings!! He showed me he was as bright as a stegosaurus (a recurring theme for me!). And he is quite honestly the thickest guide I’ve ever been given. No insult meant but he honestly is lol. And he’s quite beautiful for it.
There was a theme of child like joy which went through quite a few in the group as they upgraded their energetic systems to the right level for them, as part of the day. Being reminded of the simple pleasures in life. And my dragon certainly tapped into a part of me that resonated with that.
The Healing that Dragons are really here to do; letting go of fear.
The simple pleasures. Not needing to understand anything. Being in your own fantasy world. Dinosaurs and all their mystery! And you don’t need to fly to do that. You can potter about at your own pace; the excitement is in the experience not the speed!
The thing to understand about working with dragons, is that they are not here for all fluff and bare back riding (ooh matron!).
They are here to help us rid fear based beliefs from our life. It’s that simple.
They don’t do that by picking the plaster or band aid off in the bath, bit by bit. They tell you to buck up, grin and bear it, rip the plaster off and check what’s lurking beneath. Maybe prod it with a mischievous grin, full of morbid fascination.
And honestly, for me, that’s how I like to work. Don’t try to dress it up as something it isn’t. Just be honest with me please!!
With clients, I strike a balance. Trying to push where I need to, but understanding at the same time what it’s like to go through what us humans go through.
Dragons aren’t always that accomodating.
Having said that, I also don’t believe dragons are a**eholes; there are plenty of teachers who will give you that impression.
In all truth, we see all our guides, and the world, through layers of ourselves. Depending on how entrenched those layers are, will reflect how deeply they colour what you see. Dragons guides are no exception.
If there is still healing you need to do, layers of prejudice in varying forms (believe me, many people still feel their version of spirituality is the right one!) Then it will colour what you see.
That is what is called Ego. And it really doesn’t need to be egotistical. It could be very very passive and holding you down through disempowerment. I really need to find a new phrase for that as it’s so misleading for most people.
David and I always say when we do our regular teaching together, that you must heal before you can give messages. And those out on the circuit, still preaching messages from the ‘Divine’ through layers of their own fear, should not be doing it.
That’s why choosing a teacher or reader with a (w)holistic attitude towards your development or future is the right one to go for. The clarity of your message is of the highest regard.
So if you’re looking to get a guide who’s straight talking and will be very much focused on removing your fears, a dragon is hard pressed to beat in its field.
Letting go of control and acceptance
So what did you think old Digby dragon have to rid my fear of?
Ooh! A great many things my pretties!!
His energy was lovely and I kinda fell in love with him straight away. Most of my guides are intelligent and pass on knowledge. They generally help me sit in my logic. Albeit generally sarcastic and self depreciating as hell, but clever. (why would a Brit get on with anyone who didn’t know how to lampoon themselves and everyone around them? Using dry wit and a wry smile!).
So he is very different to who I’ve worked with before.
A fear in me of not knowing. Not understanding fully. Healing where I don’t know why the hell it’s worked. Bar faith. Absolute faith. And he is just so accepting. Accepting of miracles. Accepting of his path. Accepting of everything that happens for a reason and good will always come. Accepting that the Universe has a path for me, and it’ll never be straight (Jesus, that would be boring!), but it’s the right path non the less. I will get everything my heart and soul truly longs for, as long as I accept and follow this path with no hesitation.
Accepting of himself and others. No judgement. It’s not in him. Loving people wholly for who they are and accepting them for who they are. I’ve always struggled to let go of others people’s journeys.
My current experiences are manifested by the Universe, and me within it, in order to give me the opportunity learn and grow past old restrictive beliefs
And that is soooo apt at this very moment. As I write this I’m trying to distract myself from the fact my son is in having surgery. It’s routine surgery, but that doesn’t stop me worrying about him. He’s already charmed the staff with his odd little ways that mean that he takes so much in his stride, despite not understanding it. He’s very very bright. Very bright. His autism means where his brain maybe figuring out how this bright shiny machine works, his body is still exists in the real world, and sometimes his body doesn’t keep up. Occasionally people will think he’s ‘slow’. He’s not. He’s just raced so far ahead he’s functioning on another level.
I’m worrying about how he’ll feel when he wakes without me and confused. How will he take it? Will he remember his body and communicate when he’s in pain or needs help?
But I’m so strongly reminded that this is his journey. He’s having his tonsils and adenoids out. I have done everything I can to prevent this. Reiki. Hypnotherapy. Physical boosting of his immune system through supplements, diet, relaxation, herbs, Hopi ear candles.
I see so much of my journey in his. I’ve had my tonsils out as an adult. Get a touch of asthma. Did have a destroyed immune system that I’ve spent the last 3 years rebuilding. So I part blame. I shouldn’t have passed any of this onto him, should I?
But I’ve been gently reminded by Digby; it was never mine to pass on. It was only ever his to hold.
And so there is no failing. There is nothing more I could have done to protect him. This is his path. Themes of understanding which he chose to explore in this life, before it even began. Themes that I’ve got no idea about. So trying to undo something I’ve got no idea about is wrong. And since I work in his best interests, which I do with everyone I work with, I’ve maintained this experience for him. It’s in his plan to do this and so he will.
Control.
It’s a theme that I’m learning to let go of on another level with my children. As a single or childless couple that was easy. As a parent there is a whole other level of responsibility, and instinctual programming that I now need to work with.
So in serving his purpose, he’s helping me learn mine. Which is to give up control to the Universe. That doesn’t mean not caring. Not having hopes and dreams. It means loving the lows as well as the highs; it’s about taking joy from every experience.
And believe me: it is possible.
And thanks to the dragons, and in particular Digby, I’m one step closer.
