Growth (snake & hawk)

Last night I meditated holding my shaman stones I was taking in snake and hawk spirit ..my wings flapped then my body twisted and convulsed like a snake mulching it's skin.. I received a message That shedding feathers and skin is painful but it's a part of growth of transformation the animal has no choice but to allow the process .. It's also painful to resist so it must endure a necissary pain and discomfort in order to transform to grow to allow its new self to emerge .. Resisting growth is equally as painful as growing pains at least allowing it is a surrender and trust that it is a necessary and beautiful process
