Spiritual Symbolism of the Bird Grasshopper

Here are a few things you may or may have not heard about grasshoppers. Grasshoppers can only leap forward, never backward. They symbolize a “Leap of Faith” and courage along with adaptability and flexibility, since they can thrive in all kinds of environments. They represent patience and timing. Being in the right place at the wrong time is a terrible travesty. In many cultures they are seen as good fortune and prosperity, often seen as positive change on the way. They also represent transformation and growth, which is what we all need right now. The next time you see a grasshopper, think of their symbolism.

What Changed?

This is a stitch with Ms. Crone on Tiktok. She asked the question “What changed?”. Here’s my answer which follows along with today’s earlier video. It’s time to start showing up for yourself. You have showed up for everyone else the majority of your life. You deserve the same attention, the same focus and the same love. It’s your turn!

Your Healing = Their Trigger

Here’s a sad truth for you. For some, your healing will be a trigger. The healing they see in you, can often be healing they need as well but for whatever their reason may be, they don’t do the work to heal. When people aren’t ready to heal or change, the outcome can often be anger, jealousy, resentment and even bullying. You should continue to heal anyway and keep your distance for those people.

The Healing Truth

What happened between then and now that took me from the old version of myself to this person I am today? I use to be a people pleaser that put up with way too much toxic and negative energy from everyone around me.

When negativity or toxic energy shows up at my door now, I show it right back out that door. It took years of trying to help everyone else, trying to heal everyone else, trying to make everyone else happy, to realize that isn’t what I needed to do. I stopped worrying so much about everyone else and started focusing on me. I needed to “fix” me, heal me. Once I shifted that focus from them to me, EVERYTHING CHANGED!

It doesn’t matter how good you are to others, it doesn’t matter how much you do for others… people change when they want to change. It has nothing at all to do with you. If you are one of those people like I use to be, make that shift to yourself and see what happens. It’s amazing … one might even say MAGICAL!
