Seals in Kelp Forest

$82.00

This print is medicine for any major life transition, when one needs to let go of the old in order to go into the new. And for those who need to let go of others who are moving into a new “realm”, such as parents saying goodbye to a child who is leaving for college. But it is also medicine helping us to live our connection with Spirit. This includes meditation; dreamwork; shamanic work; mediumship; ancestor work; any form of intentional communication with spirit guides.

I called in this medicine when I was in grief about the future loss of a family member. My emotional state was as if  in mourning – for someone still alive. I asked for medicine that would help us to face death with acceptance. To grieve as needed but also to hold death in proper perspective, as a sacred and potentially joyful rebirth between phases of the soul’s evolution.

I had no idea what the print would look like. My guidance team chose seals in a kelp forest. What emerged is exuberant, celebrational. The round frame became a portal. The seals moving through the portal (guide/psychopomp in front, and the newly reborn soul following) places the viewer also in the water, as there is no boundary between the two spaces. This print can help us connect to the beyond: to the world of Spirit, higher knowing and higher love. I realized it is medicine of much broader use than for overcoming grief and fear of death. Yet all of this ‘broader use’ – the connection to Spirit – helps to contextualize death, to put it into proper perspective, which in turn helps us to let go of the fear and grief of loss.
