ARROW of TRUTH
In most indigenous societies everything that one uses is deemed a gift from the Source that has other uses and meanings other than the obvious physical ones.
The Arrow is such an example. Not only were arrows used for hunting but also a warrior often had a medicine arrow that reminded him/her of those deeper spiritual meanings.
ARROW’S ATTRIBUTES—
- Walking your truth honouring your integrity.
- Seeing the truth in all things.
- Piercing through any lies and deceit.
- Using your truth in a good way.
- Not needing to defend who you are and what you know.
- Strengthening your “right to be”.
- Honouring the qualities of brotherhood and sisterhood.
ARROW’S CHALLENGES—
- Fearing you do not know your own truth.
- Not following the advice you give to others.
- Fearing to speak your truth.
- Admitting and owning your mistakes by not always having to be right.
- Refusing to be honest with yourself and others.
- Not allowing yourself to see the truth when it stares you in the face.
- Allowing others their truth and their “right to be”.
- Protecting yourself by compromising your integrity.
The Arrow, being straight and clean, reminds you that the truth flies straight and true and to the heart of any problem. No matter what the challenges and a struggle we may encounter your Warrior nature has the strength to meet and conquer the obstacles. It reminds us we are not alone and can call upon the help of another who has conquered a similar situation through truth and feel their strength and integrity enter your heart to aid you.
Arrow’s medicine heralds a time of self-examination and you may want to ask yourself some challenging questions which point to using truth as your protection.
- Have you aimed straight and true in your opinions, decisions, or goals?
- Do you sense a lack of brotherhood or sisterhood in your life?
- Has competition stopped you from seeing the value of others, and is it therefore stifling your natural desire to make true bonds of friendship?
- Are you being honest with yourself and others?
- Do you have the courage to stop criticizing others?
- Can you honour each others choices without insisting your way is better?
Arrow always calls on you to walk your truth and make contact with your Warrior spirit. We are all capable of doing more than we can ever imagine. If something gives you joy, but you feel not capable or unworthy, call on Arrow’s medicine to find the warrior energy of truth. The warrior-self is always courageous and willing to face all truths, even when they hurt.
Arrow is a reminder to aim higher—to seek and find the hidden side of your Warrior nature and to use it to honour the truth within.
Why not have your own Medicine Arrow or similar medicine tool to help you meditate and find the Warrior energy of truth that you need? http://uk.blog.360.yahoo.com/blog- CplNAyIlc6PRvYisHBVo9PYIUEpJ;_ylt=AgJOz7GHFVSVdapR1TixvTJ0WnwV?p=260
