This week, we meditated with ant energy.

Meditation Transmissions

•"Working together is a strong ethos." I asked how this was done and the response was about scent trails. I started thinking about food. The animal starts talking about group work, focusing, and working together. This would be related to coordinating for common needs on a mass level, such as for food sourcing and distribution, rather then to address a specific task. I am strongly desiring food and thinking about getting into the kitchen to get some more (I just had a light dinner). 

•I saw stars in the night sky.

•A big sensation of hunger arose, it was all encompassing, my whole chest was hungry, it hurt. 

•I was reminded of truth and to breathe. I received the message to stop denying my animal needs and pay attention to my body.

•I was told, "We work for Her. We eat, and fill the interior. We go to Her and She has us talk to them (the children) and say, 'This is what you can have.' Then they (the children) become calm." It is a very peaceful feeling, when the children are satisfied. 

•I see they are all working for one leader. I want to speak to Her. She says, "you don't need to carry food in your stomach, you may not need this medicine. You can carry food in your arms." They (the population vs the queen) also build. We don't need men except for procreation. Then they die. She then talks about things humans can do, such as change their minds. She advises me to keep saying "thou shalt not kill" to some of the individuals I meet for healthcare. There are some religious leaders who support Trump where I go for healthcare. Some of their views are concerning, so this feels very encouraging! She explains they have some social pressures to persist with their viewpoints but arguments coming from their belief system (ie the Bible) can help. She also sees me as having the privilege of going into more spaces as a big human. She sees me choosing to be close to my dog--humans can work with other species, her kind has only themselves.

•I got images of brick-laying with mortar. The bricks are a puzzle that fits together. This is about "building a home for everyone". A message came through, "We have to distribute the weight, so that it is not all on one person's shoulder." Thinking about teamwork at my place of employment. I have a poster that says, "we are so good together." I hear, "If you really mean what you say, it means distributing the load so that everyone contributes and benefits, and then the work will outlive you." I can't be the only builder. "You'll have to change to make this happen, but everyone will get to have autonomy, shelter, and purpose." 

•All the sudden, my whole body felt like it was on fire.

•Vision: I am scrolling through songs on Spotify. The song had #world on it. I clicked on it. It showed me the world from above. Then it zoomed in on the world to the place where I always visit in my vision during animal meditation—the forest scene with a wolf. The wolf runs up the tree like always. Once it reached the top, it turned into a snake mid-air. It dropped into the tree branch. I could hear the noise of snake skin rubbing against itself, then it dropped and was hanging by its tail in the tree. It grew arms (caucasion human arms). It holds a sceptor in each hand. It reminds me of Kali Ma.

The snake is thinking, “I wish I could kick these bloody skulls around, but I can’t because I am hanging.” The forest now has a graveyard of bloody skulls and gore. Kali Ma is present as a hazy apparition. She’s on the ground and starts kicking the skulls around. She winked and stuck her tongue out. Out of her mouth came a snake. 

Summary and Experimental Use

Leadership/Teamwork: I appreciated both the Queen's leadership perspective on how you might use ideas to shift group thinking and working as a team so everyone can has "autonomy, shelter, and purpose." Some highly successful cultures promote both autonomy and strong interdependence. This energy would be most helpful for coordinated large scale efforts, I am thinking broad scale farming, or community building a home together--lots of people with the exact same common goal. I wonder if it would prompt more interest in communal projects. I would like to explore this energy more in terms of group dynamics.

Kali: Ants are matriarchal, with a queen and many workers. Male ants' primary function is procreation. It is believed that they are killed off because they not motivated workers, genetically not as interesting, and a waste of food resources. The procreatively successful male die naturally due to genitals breaking off during sex and losing strength.  The other male ants/drones live short lives. The accounts of killing off male ants are pretty horrific. The male ants who are considered unhelpful or enemies (either enemies within or outsiders) are destroyed through coordiinated chemical attacks, biting, and dismemberment. This is very reminiscent of Kali removing body parts and playing in the blood and gore afterwards! Tree ants are the primary arts that can hang and walk upside down. 

Hunger: The ants described what sounded like their social stomach--an intense hunger that would drive them to fill their bodies with food they primarily use to feed the young/larvae (also the Queen). I feel this could be for people looking for appetite stimulation (such as with cancer, dementia and some other chronic diseases). This could be challenging if you did not want to be eating so much! We were all very hungry and the hunger and passion for finding food subsided shortly after meditation for most of us. 

Fire: We do not have enough information to understand the fire sensation that one meditator had. It's possible the energy is very heating or could help with heat or burns. Hopefully more information will come in on this.
