Description

Unfoldment is about surrendering to Divine Timing on your journey. It is about Connection....Connecting and Teaching Community and Family and Connecting to one's Higher Self.
Unfoldment was created from an image of a large Auralite-23 crystal. Auralite Crystal is said to enhance healing, personal development, and intuition extensively and on many levels, and is said to be balancing for all the chakras......bringing a sense of peacefulness and calm. It is a stone that opens the mind and spirit, recognizing connections between our inner self and our outer life. Auralite offers strength and wisdom as we align ourselves with our true path and purpose.
At the bottom of the mandala is an image of a kapok tree, also known as the Tree of Life. In the upper corners there are images of the kapok flower. The kapok tree has long been considered sacred by the indigenous peoples of America. The Mayans believe that the kapok, which they call ceiba, (pronounced say-bah) is the tree of life whose roots extend to the underworld and whose branches hold up the heavens.....connecting heaven and earth. The kapok is often associated with the supernatural. In Africa, the kapok is also considered sacred. It is said that sleeping on pillows made of kapok cotton will bring good luck, purify and empower your material and spiritual energy and bring good dreams and saintly vibrations.
The Tree of Life is a universal symbol found in many spiritual and mythological traditions around the world. In various cultures it is known as the Cosmic Tree, the World Tree and the Holy Tree. The Tree of Life symbolizes many things, including wisdom, protection, strength, bounty, beauty, rebirth, and redemption.
the tree is seen as a powerful symbol of growth, as the tree is the only living thing that continues to grow throughout its lifetime. The tree is also a symbol for the true self and serves as a positive, healthy model for the unfolding development of both psyche and spirit. As we grow and develop, a larger and more mature personality emerges and begins to flower and fruit, providing its gifts and bounties to the wider world. In many Shamanic traditions, the Cosmic Tree of Life is also about Connection....connecting Nature, Humans and Gods....It is said to connect the Underworld, Middle world and Above world. During initiation, the Shaman learns to travel comfortably in all three realms. In some traditions the Underworld contains power animals and helper guides for healing. The Above world consists of ancestors, spirit guides and spirits of plants and diseases to whom the Shaman can speak and engage their help in healing others. During initiation, Shamans are often instructed to make and climb a ladder to symbolize their ability to access the three zones of the Cosmic Tree of Life.
The Tree of Life - Rooted in the Earth - reaching for the stars! Follow your Dreams to the Stars!
The Metaphysical meaning of the image of the Tree of Life is simple... You are a child of the Universe. You have the right to exist. You have the responsibility to grow to be yourself. Go forth in your work, in your home, on your person, as a sign that you understand that you are a Child of the Universe and have the right to be here and the responsibility to help others be here as we all Journey on into the future. <3
Around the mandala are images of sea turtles. Turtle teaches us to Surrender to the Journey. Slow down and pay attention to the abundance and opportunities that surround you. Life is not a race and you should pace yourself and not allow stress and pressure to diminish your quality of life. Turtles speak of being grounded in life and living with simplicity and grace. Bigger, stronger, faster are not always the best ways to reach your goals. Turtle is fine teacher of the art of grounding. When you learn to ground yourself to Earth's power and strength, you place focus on your thoughts and actions and use the Earth's limitless energies rather than your own to accomplish your will.
Connecting heaven and earth.....through you! The further message from Turtle is not to push yourself so fast that you make errors and miss opportunities. The Turtle knows that all things come in perfect and divine timing, sharing the lesson of patience.
In the centre is more Sacred Geometry, in the form of the Flower of Life. The Flower of Life is also referred to as the "Creation Mandala" because it represents creation itself. It is the blueprint for all creation.
The Flower of Life is the most significant of all the symbols in Sacred Geometry. Sacred Geometry is a universal language which allows us to access ancient knowledge contained in our cellular memory. It is the key to understanding the nature and value of color, sound, light, love, creation... Sacred Geometry provides complete understanding and experience to consciously Co-Create a new world of Divine Expression and accelerate the Ascension process.
In the very centre is an image of ArchAngel Gabriel. Gabriel helps people see the connections between everything in creation, "You learn of personal will and higher will, and the merger of the two for the win-win fulfillment of both yourself and the universe, by enacting your functions to the highest potential," We must also trust in the universe, and see the larger pattern and understand there is a purpose for everything. Gabriel encourages people to strengthen their faith as he accompanies them through important spiritual transitions. Archangel Gabriel brings us good news in abundance! The energy of Archangel Gabriel is used to draw many messages of good news that uplift out spirits and help us to feel more fully connected with the Universal mind and flow. Gabriel alerts us to be awake and aware, to pay attention to what messages we in turn our giving out to the world and Universe each day so that only the best may be sent out to return to us as even more beneficial energies. Part of the "job" of this Archangel is to make us more aware that we are always receiving messages from the Universe, they are all around us and yet so often we walk right past the signs and omens that were designed to answer our every question or the signposts that point the way to our greatest success and fulfillment. Gabriel, like all the archangels, is unconditionally loving, nondenominational, and unlimited, and looks past the surface and sees your true Divine nature and life purpose....and to assist you to manifest it in perfect Divine Timing.
Gabriel brings news of one's spiritual destiny, that which the soul has agreed to embark upon in this lifetime. Gabriel also teaches us that no destiny is more important than another, it is just a high a destiny to tend sheep in a field as it is to be a "Spiritual Leader" or guru.
In the bottom corners, we have images of Quan Yin...Goddess of Compassion and sacred geometry in the Merkaba/Metatrons Cube. In this instance Quan Yin's message is that there are no mistakes in the Universe. All events, circumstances, relationships and situations are unfolding in perfection, and with Divine timing. Any delay is in your best interest. Divine timing is perfection. Divine timing is always at play whether we are letting go or trying to force something. Here, Quan Yin asks you to have compassion and patience with yourself and your journey. Just like the cycles of the moon, the shift from hidden light to full moon, your unfoldment is just a matter of timing. You are being encouraged to trust in Divine timing and know that all is well in your World. Your dreams and destiny are manifesting right now whether it is obvious or not. Be at Peace, knowing you are loved, protected and supported. Surrender to your journey of Unfoldment in perfect Divine timing <3
