Shaktipat of Seahorse

As you embrace your inner essence, you will be at peace with who you are, including your vulnerability, and no longer see the need to conform to social ideals which have no true resonance for your heart. You are encouraged to trust your intuitive recognition of which environments and relationships harmonize well with you, supporting your spiritual growth and well-being on all levels. You have the innate capacity to manifest. Relax and you shall attract all you need.

 Volatile or overly restless seas compromise the well-being of the seahorse. Such intensity drains their energy, forcing them to go against their naturally gentle way of being. They thrive in environments that are calm and accommodate their slow, graceful movements. Rather than aggressively hunting, seahorses patiently wait until what they need comes their way, and then actively receive it.

Seahorse has a relationship of commensalism with seagrass and coral. Commensalism is the medicine of connection, protection and stabilization. In such a relationship, we receive what we need without being parasitic. We intelligently seek out sources that naturally support us, rather than attempting to manipulate someone or something to be other than what it is. In the case of the seahorse, as it hides from predators in the seagrass and steadies itself on coral, neither seagrass nor coral are harmed.

The symbiotic relationship of seahorse and its helpful friends reflects the supportive nature of the relationship between soul and Spirit. Spirit will provide whatever support the soul requires to thrive. In Greek myth, the seahorse is hippokampos, which translates as ‘horse of the sea. ‘Known both as steeds of the gods and as benevolent creatures who prevented sailors from drowning or becoming lost at sea, seahorses are a symbol of protection. They are about out-manoeuvring negative forces and bringing grace and peace. Seahorse is our guardian when we are going through challenging times, especially on an emotional level.

Shaktipat is a transmission of grace. It is an enlightening gift of energy that enables mastery. Shaktipat of Seahorse empowers us to instinctively seek environments that are conducive to our well-being, rather than damaging ourselves by trying to adapt to external situations or societal values. It teaches that we are enough, and we have the innate spiritual magnetism to attract what we need in our lives. We gravitate away from falsehood and toward authentic being. Named for its seahorse-like shape, the hippocampus is the neural centre in the human brain. It helps us navigate our way in the world and find where we can thrive and best avoid negative influences.

Each seahorse has a unique coronet or crown on the top of its head. It is said that, like human fingerprints, no two are completely alike. This oracle assures you that your path and what supports you will be unique. If you attempt to fit into social constructs or cliques that don’t reflect your essence, you will weaken yourself and become more susceptible to negativity. You are encouraged to consider what is natural and best for you, to be honest and authentic, even in your vulnerability. It is only from that place that you can respond appropriately. When you are in your authenticity, much power and grace shall rally to support you. The world can seem unfriendly or unsupportive at times, but this oracle reassures you that, as you honor who you are,you will naturally find friends and attract supportive assistance to obtain all you need to thrive.

Healing Process

Take a moment to place your hand on your heart and imagine, feel, intend and desire to really connect to your true inner self. You can imagine going beneath the layers of your appearance and outer self into the inner realm of your soul. Say aloud:

I trust in the uniqueness, sacred beauty, higher purpose and perfect inner potential that I AM. I surrender into the unconditionally loving acceptance that Spirit has for me and heed the encouragement to be my true self. I do not need to adapt, compromise or alter myself to be like anyone else. My true nature is divinely designed, and I seek to cast off ego-concepts like tattered old clothes, standing peaceful, luminous and unshackled in my own true nature. From that place of truth, I feel connected to my heart. I can easily attract all I desire. From this place of authenticity and integrity. May all beings know such peace, comfort and love.

 You can rest in this connection with yourself, hand on heart if you choose, for as long as feels right for you. Then ground and hydrate. You have completed your healing process.
