Symbolic Whispers article (published in Spanish Sun Newspaper) by Jason Ritchie





"Chasing Rainbows"

This last week we have seen an un usual amount of rain, and unseasonal temperatures.
However the seasonal refreshment, is uplifting as it is not only welcomed, but also assists in new growth for Mother Earth.
Together with the rain , clouds race magestically across the skies and glistening rays of sunshine burst through giving light to our day as well as our life.
I also witnessed spectacular double rainbows creating an arc of hope for the country and the world. Is it ever possible to find the end of the Rainbow?


Life can be so colourful if we allow it to be. Yet so many of you only look to one side of life, the negative. Have you complained about the weather, because it has ruined your day?
Have you felt depressed because the dull clouds hide the light that you have come here to adore?
Importantly I feel its worth noting, the light is always there. Simerly the light within yourself is always there, but unfortunately you allow the stress and everyday life to cloud your perceptions.

Clouds often come into our life. They come in the form of money worries, doubts fears, daily stress, anxiety, past experiences, the unknown and so forth. Many suffer with the continual mind that never seems to stop.

Why do we allow the clouds to enter our life?
Often there is an outer pressure that manifests and creates a seed. That seed once planted can create a destructive pattern unless it is released to the wind. Recently the "Credit Crunch" has been a major influence on society, almost creating a brainwashing sensation, so that we only believe that life is heading to a pit fall of worry and loss. Yet if we take ourselves away from the influence and dont listen to that constant messages, then we can begin to reclaim our power, and our own truth.
It is also during the cloudy moments that we are able to look at what needs to change before the thunderstorm of life creates a destructive pattern, forcing change to take place.
Yet ,even if that happens, the electricity, the energy of the universe re-inforces us that life is so magical and incredible.
When the rains come the headache of life is released letting go of the past and enabling new life to begin.

The Universal Messenger
We can look at the weather systems as symbols and messages from the Gods/Universe. We are being taught something incredibly valuable, but as a race we have not been listening or recognising the signs. They are getting stronger and now is the time to adhere to the lesson. I am not only suggesting that climate change is the sign from this higher power. I mean yourselves as individuals. Look and feel the power of each weather system and reflect how that corrosponds with what you are feeling within yourself. Try to look at the positive of each system and season.
Additionaly to this, my grandmother used to read the clouds. Yes, Cloud readings. In many ways everything can be read on a psychic level. Next time you lie under an cloudy sky, stare up towards them and create images in the clouds and interpret any messages for yourself or those close by. This is done simply by looking at the images you receive and interpreting them into a story. You will suprise yourself and your friends when you relay your findings.

Magical moments and Rainbows
Rainbows have an almost magical connotación that derive from fairy tales, we know they are very real as we are able to see them. So too is life. We can see that life can be magical as some people in this world have that life. We all have the possibility of making that for ourselves. In many ways it has something to do with your intention and how much time you are prepared to aim for that goal. Use this quiet time to re-establish your focus and and strive for achieving what it is you want to fulfil. In doing so you can find that pot of Gold at the end of the Rainbow.


The Sun always shines
It is worth remembering that the sun always shines. Even when we cant see it, it is there.
Many people reach out for light or hope, but often do not see the wood for the trees. Very often when a thought of hope is projected outwards, it is worth remembering that you always receive the energy you asked for. Not always in the way that you would imagine.
Signs of light may come in the form of the innocence of a child smiling towards you, the view of a magnificent sunrise, an animal trying to get your attention, a letter or e.mail from a friend, a phone call from someone you have not seen for a while, a book that catches your attention, a beautiful landscape, a personal introduction and so forth. These are simple messages that mean something for you to acknowledge within that daily routine. Notice the little things in life, appreciate them and live a fulfilled and positive life in a world of abundance and prosperity.
