Now Open for new enrolments. The link to my shop is in my bio. I would love to walk you through the process of how to use Nature as an oracle by identifying, recording and interpreting the animal messengers in your local environment. This course also helps you connect to and trust your own intuition, your personal power and how to better understand the relationship between your inner and outer worlds. The course offers six lessons that encourage you to get outside, explore and document what you see, hear, smell, taste and feel. With simple activities that help you understand the relationships between our natural flora and fauna as well as open you to Aboriginal culture and spirituality to help you really connect with the land you walk on and with each day. #naturereading101 #onlinecourses #selfawareness #selfexploration #naturereading #animalmessengers #spiritwakesacademy #spiritsofplace #australianspirituality #shadowself #spiritwakes #spirituality #nature #creativity #natureoracle https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp2xYKGnRdl/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1mzpww4fsh2js

The PELICAN message is one of self sacrifice. He reminds us not to sacrifice our needs or blame ourselves when we fail to live up to others expectations. He also warns against punishing ourselves for others incompetency. The pelican asks for you to steer away from sacrificing your own needs to "take care" of others, unless it is honestly something you want to do. There is no room for martyrdom when the pelican shows itself. Do not do things because you feel it's your duty or responsibility, do them because it's something you feel is right for you. The pelican can also indicate the ability to learn, to take in and deal with a large amount of information or feelings. He reminds us to know our own value, to stop stepping down or diminishing ourselves or allowing others to take the credit for the work that we do. In your journal Ask yourself - *In what ways do I give my power away? *Do I do things because I want to? Or because I don't want people to think badly of me? *What sacrifices may have to be made? *Will I be sacrificing things for the right reasons, or have I just overcommitted? *What is taking time away from what I want to do for myself? You may be surprised at your answers #pelican #saltwater #animalmessenger #naturereader #naturereading101 #saltwaterreadingcards #laurajbowen #shadowself #soulwork #natureoracle

I have had a few emails lately asking where to purchase my oracle decks the #dreamtimereadingcards and the #saltwaterreadingcards I made the decision that with how much I am away this year for study to no longer sell signed copies myself, but you can purchase them from heaps of bookstores or online via Amazon, Booktopia or a whole list of other places. If you stock my deck and would like me to advertise your store on my own website as a stockist please send me the details. #Aboriginalart #laurajbowen #laurabowen #oracledecks #spiritwakesacademy #naturereading #naturereading101 #spirituality #Australian

LAST INTAKE FOR 2018 Don’t miss this opportunity to learn a skill you will continue to use and build on throughout your lifetime. There are so many ways we can talk with nature. As well as animal messengers, there are natural occurrences, seasonal cycles, weather patterns and landmarks that also have much wisdom to offer and special energies they wish to share. Often symbolism has similar meanings across many divination modalities. Over the years when trying to work out meanings from different shapes or everyday objects I have looked up many books on Divination like Tea reading & dream interpretation because often the meanings for each object are similar. Nature reading however, or more specifically “Apantomancy” - divination & omens drawn from chance meetings with animals, birds, and other creatures is learnt and studied a little differently. To read and interpret an animal messenger we first must first look at how it is behaving . How does it interacts with its environment, what defensive mechanisms does it display? Is it nocturnal? Does it have any obvious characteristics that may give us a insight into its energy? How to answer these questions are just some of the things I cover in my Animal Messengers and Spirit of place online course. Students sometimes tell me they live in the city so they can’t do nature observations but I believe, so long as you have a window you can see the clouds, the moon, the colours of the sky as the sunrises and falls, the twinkle of the stars in the velvety night sky and the cycle of the moon as it grows and diminishes each month. There is a real intimacy in the conversations that we can have with nature if we are open to hear and acknowledge.
