Life is filled with so many splendid synchronicities. Recently I began focusing on cleansing myself with Frog Medicine. I created a collage with a frog photo for my new journal, and inside I wrote the following notes from Medicine Cards: The Discovery of Power through the Ways of Animals (by Jamie Sams & David Carson, Bear & Company, Santa Fe, NM, 1988):

“Frog teaches us to honor our tears, for they cleanse the soul…. know when it is time to refresh and purify….replace mud with clear energy….replenish your parched spirit, body, and mind….An ability of frog medicine people is to give support and energy where it is needed…. A frog medicine person can clean negativity from any environment…. Frog speaks of new life and harmony through its rain song…. Call to Frog and find peace in the joy of taking time to give to yourself. A part of this giving is cleansing yourself of any person, place, or thing that does not contribute to your new state of serenity and replenishment.”

The night after I copied down those notes, my friend Thomas and I went to eat some vegan treats at a nearby park. When I returned home, as I climbed the front steps to my cottage, I noticed a little tiny frog hanging onto the screen door! I knelt down and talked to him and then took a photo of him. The photo is a bit blurry, but you can still tell that it is a frog. I was in such awe of that beautiful synchronicity. It let me know that I am definitely on the right path… cleansing, cleansing, cleansing!

Through daily spiritual practices, especially chanting (singing) devotional songs to God, I am in a deep process of purifying my being. Through focused intention and Reiki healing energies, I am cleaning out some old mud energies and inviting new clear energies to fill my soul.

May all beings everywhere know the Purity of Peace and Happiness.

Om Shanti (Peace),
