Cleaning House

Spider webs are a favourite Halloween decoration.  In nature orb spiders weave intricate webs of silk 5 times stronger than steel. The webs protect eggs, create underwater homes, wrap food, offer a platform for courtship displays, and ensnarl prey.
 
Known as Nature’s Architects spiders begin by dangling a sticky bridge thread with the other end pulled by the breeze until it finds a holdfast. Then a second thread crossing the first. Eventually the frame is anchored followed by spokes from the central hub for structural support filled in with concentric sticky spirals with an occasional decorative flourish. Their patience and determination results in a finished product within 30 min.
 
Spiders are superb opportunists building webs in prime locations for capturing prey and relying on the creative use of space and resources. It is no surprise that as a spirit animal they represent the weaving of destiny and symbolize the connection between past and future.
 
This week I invite you to clear the cobwebs of your mind, renew your vision for the future and surmount any fears that may deter the manifesting of your dreams. One of the best ways to do so is relaxing to the sound of the gongs. In the words of Yogi Bhajan - The mind cannot resist a gong well played.
