DESCRIPTION

My favorite spiritual animal is the snake. I love snakes for various reasons. The shedding of their skin represents rebirth. They lay close to the ground, which makes them incredibly down to earth and practical. Most importantly, snakes love freedom, and they will fight to the death if they feel threatened. http://youtu.be/VOg2OLhx4uI

My love of snakes took me to an actual workshop. The trainer had cages of various sizes placed

around the room. No one was interested in the corny corn snake, or the friendly but beautiful

king snake. We all rushed to the cage that was holding the mighty python. I wanted to hold it in my arms, and feel it’s skin slither across mine, but the trainer wouldn’t allow me to even touch it. He picked up the python with an elongated

hook and extended it beyond my reach.

It was at this time that I learned about the tentative relationship between man and snake.

Pythons have serious trust issues, and they don’t allow themselves to be touched or held by people they don’t know. The trainer then told us a story about a man who innocently wrapped a python around his shoulders. The python, out of fear of

falling, begin to squeeze tighter. The man, unable to breathe, struggled to get the python off of him. The more the man struggled, the more the snake resisted. Fortunately, the man received help and

wasn’t badly hurt.

The relationship between snake and man represents the resistance and struggle that we create for ourselves when we don’t trust our

nature. When we wrap life around our shoulders to try and control it, it will strangle us to death.

Nature, energy, needs to flow. However, so many of us attach ourselves to certain outcomes, people, and objects. Attachment is the cause of

all suffering. We suffer when we burn emotional energy on things that we really can’t control.

Nature is very much like a snake. It is free and flowing, and we need to trust it. We start to

get attach when things don’t go our way. We get attached when we feel like we need to be in control. It is important to not be afraid of

losing something or someone.

Nature works very much like a snake shedding its skin, when one thing dies, something or someone else is born to replace it. When you stop the resistance, you stop the struggle, then you

can trust the fact that nature will never let you fall.
