Sacred message

The octopus is an incredibly adaptable and intelligent creature, and the soul of the secret octopus spirit is alive with messages and teachings for you. An octopus may be small, but it is mighty and resilient. If you feel taken advantage of, disrespected or treated poorly, know that you are just like the sacred octopus spirit. You can shed a new light of understanding upon any negative experiences and see only the lesson any purpose in those situations. Having this fresh perspective will give you clarity about who you are and who you wish to become. The octopus always keeps his predators on their toes, morphing into new forms, hiding a new places and surfacing to jump onto rocks. Use your ingenuity to come up with new ways to serve any challenges are you face body that octopus spirit in your life. Honour, celebrate and own yourself and your life exactly the way it is, and if there is something you aren't happy with, reinvent yourself and find a different way to accomplish and experience each situation.

Sacred sea ritual

To begin this ritual, lie down and mimic the energy of the octopus on the ocean floor, sprawl out so that your limbs feel like tentacles, and imagine each limb expanding and activating a part of your brain you've never use before. See new tentacles sprouting from your body and turning on those unused parts of your brain so you have a keener sense of reality and a higher consciousness. Play in this visualisation and ask questions from a high level of octopus creativity and innovation. Notice where you have felt stuck in any area of your life, where you feel unrecognised and small? What aspect of yourself can you begin to love more? What would it be like to find a fresh solution or way of experiencing something that is not working for you anymore? How can you find a fun way to change your reality? How can you simplify or alter your ways of responding so you can create a different outcome? You can contemplate these, and when something pings your intuition take action on it. Try and brand new approach so you have a different reality and can break free from patterns that no longer work for you. When you are complete, send gratitude to the octopus spirit and you're soul self and allowed time to integrate your new ideas.
