June & July - Months of the Red Panda
'The Red Panda is not only an agile and witty agent of change and trickster, but also a great mentor in terms of allowing yourself to take a break, rest and observe your surroundings for a while and then continue on your path or with your projects, when your soul, mind, body, heart and spirit are rested and re-energized. It is then life becomes colourful again - like the fire-touched Red Panda's fur or a sunrise after a long and dark night. - Being updated with new stories at the moment - a wee bit of patience, please. |

The Red Panda is a quick and agile agent of change and foxlike shapeshifter, that is neither a bear, nor a cat or a fox and despite being genetically close to raccoons, weasels and skunks, a completely unique species and being, a playful jack-of-all-trades, that is comfortable in their own fur being their authentic selves.
The Red Panda invites us to embrace being who we are to the fullest, our light and our shadows, to show our true colors, to let go of the masks we are wearing and to share our inner fire with all of creation. In the different stories of the Peoples, the Red Panda is a guide and spirit that escorts travelers safely up and through the mountains. There is a caveat albeit. It emits a fire that is like a beacon, but like the fox’s or will-o’-the-whisp’s, it can lead you astray, confuse you or guide you to a different place than you thought you would end up in, depending on how you treated the Red Panda spirit. Like all spirit guides and mentors, it is to be honored and respected and the way you have treated them, is reflected back to you in the way, your path unfolds before you and in where it is leading you. Each and every single one of us, without exception, is a unique gift to this world, to all of creation. Each and every single heart bears healing and wisdom within, a seed of light, waiting to be seen and acknowledged, to take root, to grow and to come into full bloom and a shadow, that bears the power within to be soothing and protecting, if we get to know it, embrace and befriend it, instead of turning away. |

Never play with a soul. Zero tolerance of mobbing, backstabbing, gossip, bullying and bossing.
No-one is bigger than the other, no-one is smaller. We are equals.
No name bears more weight than another.
This is a circle. Leave your title at the gate when taking your seat.
A circle is as big or as small as need be. There is no need to take someone else's seat.
You are the gift. You are enough.
