Many people don’t realize that nature speaks an energetic language. Humans tend to think with a mix of emotions derived from both their previous encounters and future expectations while animals react instantaneously based off survival instincts alone without any additional emotion or mental processing.
What sets apart two vastly different experiences with bees?
While both scenarios involve people interacting with swarming masses of these social winged-insects, what do you think is happening, and why are they not getting stung?
If an unsuspecting person suddenly finds themselves amid a buzzing cloud of bees, chances are high that they’ll experience something undesirable as a result. So why does such a striking contrast exist between times when people come across bees peacefully versus chaotically? Everything hinges on the unique essence present during these events – how you (human) feel.
Awareness of our situation enables us to make necessary adjustments to enhance our immediate experience.
If a person is enjoying a walk down the road listening to birds sing, feeling good and confident and then a car comes by and blares their horn, what happens in a split moment? You are now startled, heart racing and upset.
Your whole vibe shifts in an instant. By recognizing and practicing self-control, one can shift back to a state of calmness and clarity, as opposed to being carried away by different states of mind.
Attempting to enter a swarm of bees with internal unrest results in being stung, due to the bugs detecting your lack of confidence and elevated heart rate. As we become aware of it, we can also start changing it.
When assisting with dog training at someone’s home, I always begin by acknowledging that animals are instinctual and live in the present moment without overthinking like humans do. The dog is often waiting for their human to recognize this energy imbalance.
Those bees feel a threat, and they will protect. Dogs follow a balanced way of life, and when things are unbalanced they feel a threat. When you ask yourself what type of vibrations you are releasing to your environment, you can begin recognition and adjustment.
Walking up to a beehive takes courage; are you up for the challenge? Join us on an unforgettable adventure to discover nature’s greatest wonders!
