Hi, new here, first thread. Been lurking for a few months here and there and want to say thank you to all who post here. i continually find peace of mind, good advice and really just... help on the way! In the last year i've had an unreal connection to these adorable, kind, winged beings. I first saw my guide after a ratdog show last summer. I had gone to the show by myself, something i had never done before, and like i knew would happen, made some sweet new friends! Hung around for a few hours and a lovely girl gave me a little present in the form of gellies! My first gellies ever. MMM. Well, shit, too much too fast made for a crazy night. Finally found my way back home and started to space lying in bed. Next thing i knew i felt wings all over the room. over my WHOLE being! teeny lil wings like nothing i'd ever felt. mind expanded and i saw this little butterfly town. similar to ours. they had homes that looked like homes and streets and everything. just it was inhabbited by only butterflies! we chilled for a bit and then i heard a voice say "okay everyone say goodnight (goodbye?) to timmy?" an arm rose out of the grass and starting waving goodbye. all the butterflies started making a noise i can't really share (terrence mckenna may know) the next day i was at the show again, in r.i. this time, and happened by the t-shirts. there was a ratdog shirt with bright, colorful dragonflies and butterflies. it had not been there at the boston show! i bought it and still wear it proudly. three weeks later at vibes a butterfly landed on my knee and chilled for like 5 mins. at this years mtn. jam a butterfly crossed my path right as i dug our "HOME" flag into the ground near our site. In my first reiki healing i found myself gaining conciousness in some neat little corner of some eastern country. (tibet, china, japan not sure.) I saw butterfly wings materialize out of light and i saw it was fluttering in the grass a few miles away from a wooden dojo. i remember the bubbling brook below like it was my childhood. i've seen the wings materialize a few times now. i had a great meditation as the wings began flapping in my mind slowly turning the earth it is wings. i realized i could reach higher and soar farther than i ever had. i did distance reiki for the first time. sent it to my twin brother in iraq, (he called me from there for the first time that morning) sent some to my rm, only a few miles away. i went even higher still and saw myself floating on a cloud naked and crossed legged. eyes closed. with colorful orbs floating, orbiting around me, and felt totally at peace with everything. I used like...4 different minds in this one meditation. haven't tried since, but geez...it's all been just incredible. flat out, beyond words. though that may seem like a joke seeing as how many i've put here. i try to share this light with whoever will listen. most people think i'm crazy. that makes me feel very proud. to anyone looking for a spirit guide i say just trust. believe. rejoice in life and in those happy little coincidences. All good things in all good time.
Well wings are synonimous with the crown aren't they ... a spiritual family. I don't get butterflys mutch but i can see how for you they are reminders of spirit and magic and unseen help. I get feathers sometimes, when one drops in front of me or is lying blatantly in my path, i know to listen or look for a message in the events of the day. But it's also a reminder of something very sweet and holy ... home. Golden wings
I felt the same connection with fireflies as a kid as my friends and I ran through the woods at dusk trying to catch them. I felt as if they were trying to guide me or lead me somewhere beyond this plane of existence Hotwater
I was walking thru a park. I saw up ahead two white butterflies fluttering very close together almost touching. I continued on and walked right up to them and they just stayed in that space, right before me, face level. I put a hand on either side very close to them and still they stayed there for a few more minutes...To some they mean, beauty, faith, change,sacredness, transformation...
