Running through the forest you are searching in frustration and desperation, chasing down anything or any sign to tell you where to go, what to do, and how to be.
Emotions high and mind racing, you run and run until you find yourself at the river bank. There, you are forced to take a moment — to stop, breathe, and think about your next move.
As you are contemplating whether to run through the river or around, you see something moving on the water’s surface. On closer inspection you see who this is — the familiar sheen of the shell and pointed face tells you that the Turtle has come for a visit.
This wise creature is showing you everything that you need in this moment. Not searching, not chasing, but grounding. Staying present and calm even in moments of chaos.
Your Turtle Therapet symbolises a peaceful walk on this earth. They show us that we can walk through life anchored, stable, and taking grounded steps rather than rushing through from one thing to the next.
I am taking my next steps with confidence and intention.
