Yesterday morning, I saw movement in my garden.
I found a praying mantis staring back at me.

From my book Animal Spirit Guides by Steven D. Farmer

If Praying Mantis shows up, it means:

  • You could benefit from studying and practicing a martial arts discipline such as Kung Fu, Chi Gong, or Tai Chi (haha, and I do :)), which has a strong meditative and spiritual component.
  • Make prayer, meditation, or contemplation part of your daily regimen, even if only for a few minutes a day.
  • Listen to your instincts as to when to move forward and when to retreat.
  • Spend some time in the natural world, and practice being as still as you can for as long as you can, with nothing else to attend to except your breathing.
  • Consider redirecting your energy by withdrawing it from whatever isn’t working in your life and focusing greater attention on what is working.

Shot with a lensbaby on my D90… Looking through this lens brought me into another world.
