Before you continue reading any further, I invite you to recall your 1st reaction {thoughts, feelings, emotions} to this picture & jot it down.
Comments made on Facebook are very interesting and show how effective a visual is. Actually, the ones I saw didn't match mine at all. Here is my take, my reaction to the picture above:
My first reaction was not that it was meant to be funny {I wondered how difficult it must be for the motorcyclist to drive safely}, nor was the cow being hurt {I figured its tail was being held so it would not fly up and obscure the driver's vision; its rear legs were tied so as not to flop onto the road and get injured} the cow's face certainly does not show signs of being stressed, nor was this awkward undertaking a joy ride for either the driver or the cow. What came up for me was: What a very compassionate motorcyclist, he found a cow along the road {I seriously doubt he is stealing it}that may be injured but definitely not in a pasture where it belongs. The rescuer is so daring and brave to help this poor innocent creature & return it to a safe place,hopefully its home away from traffic. Amazing the conclusions one comes to about a pic! It is so telling about what is inside us... & how we judge what is right or wrong, good or bad etc. Its like seeing the cup empty, full, 1/2 full etc. Its about our personal perception. After a 2nd look at the pic I thought: "Wonder where this pic was taken as it appears the traffic is going the wrong way." See what I mean, I just did it again myself LOL.
When we become the observer of ourselves we gain a great deal of AWARENESS! AWARENESS about any of our MEPS {my coined term for Mental~Emotional~ Physical ~ Spiritual aspects of self} is the 1st step to transformation. Looking at a picture is one of the simplest tools one can use to gain greater insight to oneself. Coach's challenge if you choose to accept: Look at a picture that is very appealing to your aesthetic sense when you want to find comfort or Personal Peace. Look at a graphically disturbing picture if you are struggling with unpleasant feelings or emotions to stimulate the fullness of the feeling in order to release it. As you do either verbally aloud express what you think and feel. Keep doing it until it is gone. You'll know when it is gone because all the "negative"/ fear energy will feel like it has shifted to one of "positive"/Love energy. Acknowledge and honor yourself for whatever and ALL that showed up during this exercise for it is ALL part of YOU rather you like it or not. This ACKNOWLEGEMENT is a stepping stone toward ACCEPTANCE {Self Love} !
I hope this blog posting ALLOWED you more AWARENESS to your inner world! I pray this post inspires you to take a few minutes to send Blessings to all creatures especially to those without homes or from abusive ones. For any of my animal loving readers; I hope you didn't get any trapped emotions from viewing the pic at the start of this blog. If so, I suggest you take the coach's challenge seriously into action and fully deal with the thoughts,feelings & emotions that came up so they can be released. If you have difficulty or need support in doing so I AM here to assist.

If my human friends choose to only ACCEPT their point of view, I suggest taking a closer look at some core beliefs that surfaced while reading or became evident while viewing this picture or for not even considering the coach's challenge. Examination of these offer valuable information as to what is holding you back in various areas of your life. Remember,an open mind and Heart are the gateways to possibilities!
Regardless of your choices, I choose to hold all creatures in the Love of my Heart no matter where that is on your journey in life! Knowing that as I continue to Spiritually evolve so shall YOU for we are ONE with ALL that is!
Sincerely in Spirit,
Sharon
