Taking Initiative: Frog Medicine
Written by Misty-Eve
Monday, 23 March 2009
As the world wakes up from its winter sleep, one of the first critters I hear are the frogs. Can you hear them where you are?
The folk lore I like the best is that when you hear frogs singing at night it means there will be a nice day tomorrow!
Have you decided what your tomorrow will be like?
Have you chosen a goal to work on that will lead you in the direction of the life you want to live?
You must have an aim, a vision, a goal. For the man sailing through life with no destination or 'port-of- call', every wind is an ill wind.
~ Tracy Brinkmann
"'Tis the set of the sail that decides the goal, and not the storm of life.
~ Ella Wheeler Wilcox
How do you know when youre moving in the right direction?
When you feel elation, when you feel joy, when you feel passion, when you feel love, when you feel appreciation... when you feel those emotions that you would call positive emotions, those emotions are your indicator, your "sixth sense", telling you that whatever it is that you are focused upon right now is, in this moment, vibrationally up to speed with Source Energy.
That which you give your attention to, particularly your emotional attention, you draw into your experience.
~ Abraham-Hicks
The Law of Attraction says that every thought I have is a powerful vibration that is attracting like frequencies into my experience. If this is so, then what ever I am feeling I am also attracting into my experience.
Can you stay happy thinking about something you want, that you dont have, yet?
"Yes, there are things that I want that have not come into manifestation yet. There are things I want that I cant even see any way of them happening - but they are still refreshing and delightful to me. I still feel anticipation. I still feel encouraged. They still feel fresh and good to me." And we want that for you.
We want your unfulfilled desires to feel good to you, because, well, there are two reasons: If you cannot make peace with where you are, then the unfulfilled desires are very slow in becoming fulfilled because that angst you feel about things not yet happening, is an indication of a vibration thats literally holding it apart, from you.
~ Abraham-Hicks
Key to understanding Aries: Will Power
Too often we come to think of will power as the thing which grandmother said we didn't have. Then we continued to hear her tell us that we could do anything IF we just had the will power. Perhaps everyone's grandmother was an Aries Person. Aries people are noted for their will power. In a way, of course, she was right, for the human will is indomitable. "Where there is a will, there is a way," goes an old wisdom saying. Will Power is the power of desire. The psychologist talks of it as motivation, but simply, when the desire is there, we see the power of the will.
How do I focus magically upon my goals?
We know that when you are holding someone as your object of attention and you are connected to Source Energy, which means you are expecting good things, you are in that high pure fast vibration as you hold them, appreciation is a very good state of being to be in while you are holding someone as your object of attention. Its like shining, its like opening a vortex of well being and focusing it, and so it is, it can be, beneficial.
~ Abraham-Hicks
Likewise, if I am unhappy and depressed then the Universe will also attempt to manifest a like vibration in my world which matches the feeling that I am dwelling upon.
Be easy about this. Be playful about it. Don't work so hard at it. Let your dominant intent to be to feel good, and if you don't feel good, then let your dominant intent be to feel relief. Feel your way through it to the relief you want. If you think your way through it, you can get off on all kinds of tangents. If you feel your way through it, you can come quickly to your Core Energy, by going with the thought that feels best, by giving yourself the benefit of the doubt. When you do that only good can then flow to you.
~ Abraham-Hicks
Every day will be a mixture of good and evil. Happiness consists in placing the emphasis on The Good and Beautiful things of the day rather than on the bad things that bother you.
~ Father Eli
So Relax. Chill out! Get into the happy habit. Expect it. We do a lot of things simply because of habit. When you feel tension, frustration or unhappiness coming on, just stop and relax.
What kind of thoughts are you sending out today? Have you given yourself permission to happily dream about what you want OR are you sad and disappointed that you dont have it yet?
Feel the difference in your own vibration as you contemplate these two choices.
If you knew that you could more easily manifest your desires if you thought happily about what you Want, would you give yourself permission to be happy? Would you take the Initiative? Would you insist on transmitting a clear signal of what you Want?
What kind of world are you creating for your tomorrow? Is it a world you will Want to live in just for the sheer joy of it?
Its worth thinking about

FROG MEDICINE FOR THE SOUL
Sing Frog sing!
Call the rains,
Quench the dryness,
Cleanse the Earth,
Then fill me again.
Frog sings the songs that bring the rain. Frog medicine is akin to fertile water energy, and the East on the medicine wheel.
The transformation into adulthood prepares Frog for its power to call in the waters of the skies: the rain. In knowing the element of water, Frog can sing the song that calls the rain to Earth. When the ponds are dry, Frog calls upon the Thunder Beings to cleanse and replenish the Earth with water. Like Frog, we are asked to know when it is time to refresh, purify, and refill the coffers of the soul.
If Frog hops into your life, its ribet may be calling in the cleansing you need. If you were to look at where you are today, would you use any of the following words to describe your condition: tired, overloaded, harried, frustrated, guilty, itchy, nervous, at a loss, empty, or weakened?
If so, take a break and allow yourself to bathe in the waters of Frog medicine. This could mean a long, relaxing bath, disconnecting the phone, yelling stop, or taking in deep, cleansing breaths.
The key thought is to find a way to rid yourself of distractions and to replace the mud with clear energy. Then replenish your parched spirit, body, and mind.
A Frog medicine person can clean negativity from any environment. Many mediums or clairvoyants who work with cleaning haunted houses carry Frog medicine. Many of the worlds seers use water on their hands when tapping into other realms of reality due to waters super-conductive nature.
In Mayan and Aztec shamanistic practices, the shaman places water in his or her mouth and sprays it over the body of a patient to clear negative energy. This is done while holding the thought of a Frog firmly in the mind so that healing may occur and the patient may be replenished with positive energy. Sometimes dried and stuffed Frogs are also used to guard the persons body during the session.
Frog speaks of new life and harmony through its rain song. The deep tones of Frogs ribet are said to be a call to the Thunder Beings: thunder, lightning, and rain. The ribet is the heartbeat that comes into harmony with Father Sky and calls for the replenishment needed. Call to Frog and find peace in the joy of taking time to give to yourself. A part of this giving is cleansing yourself of any person, place, or thing that does not contribute to your new state of serenity and replenishment.

INITIATIVE: QUOTES OF THE DAY
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice.
It is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved."
~ Jeremy Kitson
"You have been oriented that you must pay a price in order to get somewhere, and in the process, youve come to believe that getting there must be really important, therefore, it must be your purpose. And we say, but if youre not getting to joy, then youve gotten nowhere. Joy is really where youre going.
Your emotions are your indicators of your summoning and allowing. Strong emotion on either end means you are summing a lot of energy. Mild emotion in the middle means you are summoning less energy. The elation/contentment side means you are allowing the flow. The frustration/anger side means you are not allowing it to flow. Strong summoning of emotion on the frustration/anger side means you are creating a lot of what you don't want. Strong emotion on the elation side means you are actively creating what you do want.
~ Abraham-Hicks
We have much more power than we think - taking initiative is how to harness that power and reap its rewards.
~ From Taking the Initiative at Work

THE FROGS
A group of frogs were traveling through the woods, and two of them fell into a deep pit. All the other frogs gathered around the pit. When they saw how deep the pit was, they told the unfortunate frogs they would never get out. The two frogs ignored the comments and tried to jump up out of the pit. The other frogs kept telling them to stop, that they were as good as dead. Finally, one of the frogs took heed to what the other frogs were saying and simply gave up. He fell down and died. The other frog continued to jump as hard as he could.
Once again, the crowd of frogs yelled at him to stop the pain and suffering and just die. He jumped even harder and finally made it out. When he got out, the other frogs asked him, "Why did you continue jumping. Didn't you hear us?" The frog explained to them that he was deaf. He thought they were encouraging him the entire time.
This story teaches two lessons:
1. There is power of life and death in the tongue. An encouraging word to someone who is down can lift them up and help them make it through the day.
2. A destructive word to someone who is down can be what it takes to kill them.
Be careful of what you say. Take the Initiative to speak life to those who cross your path. The power of words.... it is sometimes hard to understand that an encouraging word can go such a long way. Anyone can speak words that tend to rob another of the spirit to continue in difficult times. Special is the individual who will take the time to encourage another.

ARIES: I AM
1st Decan Influence: "INITIATIVE"
March 20 March 29
Without initiative, nothing begins. Initiative is the ability to start, to begin - and then to push it through. In Magic, an initiation is necessary for success in achieving the goals we set. INITIATIVE demands ACTION. Let us say to ourselves, as Aries begins, "Let us start". We then need to keep the initiative going. See every action through to its conclusion on anything you begin.
