Damselflies

Wild Life
Written By Paula R Winters

Why did someone mow the field where the damselflies lived!? Grass, clover, parts of wildflowers left to die. A community cut down. A heart-breaking way to begin my day.

The damsels brought me the awe I longed for on those ‘ordinary’ days. Reminding me that we live in an enchanted world, one of magic and supernatural layers. These magic beings surrounded me on my morning walk, in waves of light-hearted curiosity, dancing around me, in between the worlds, darting and maneuvering. Mesmerizing me. Stirring and re-organizing my being!

Sweet, powerful Nature Spirits showing themselves to me. Checking me out. Blessing me. Releasing earthly illusions. Like bubbles popping all around me.
Not since my garden of forget-me-nots have I felt this kind of otherworldliness. Being invited into the other side of the veil …into the fairy realm.

And every morning they appeared with whimsy and grace, making my world more beautiful as I walked by. Every morning I was made bigger. I held more.

Journey with the damselfly. Let them carry you somewhere.

I came to energy work in 2001 at a time in my life where I was shattered. I had lost myself. There were too many endings and there was no clear path forward that I could see. But as doors closed all around me, I was guided onto a Reiki table. Here I found safety in my body, finally …and an amazing new reality in an unseen world. I worked hard to look at all parts of me as they were offered up. And… I went into total remission and off all meds after 30 years and 7 surgeries for Crohn’s Disease.

All forms of energy work then became my passion. I studied Reiki, flower essences, crystals, essential oils and tarot. I studied with Shaman here and in Peru and climbed high in the Andes mountains. I cleared houses and businesses of unwanted energies. I did Soul Retrievals for my clients. I sat with the dying, helping them in their last moments. I co-taught Medicine Wheel and Advanced Medicine Wheel. I officiated weddings. I had dogs and cats as clients. I studied with Gabrielle Roth, learning 5-rhythm dance. But most of all, this journey brought me to a place where I fell head over heels in love with the healing power of the flowers.

And now I invite you to remember the wisdom Mother Earth offers us.
