The Spiritual Significance of Hyenai Welcome,
Dear friends.
Today we're gathering to explore the wisdom of a often misunderstood creature,
The hyenai.
Known for its eerie law in night calls,
The hyenai carries a spiritual message that is both profound and surprising.
While many may associate hyenais with scavenging or cunning behavior,
Those who truly listen to their spirit know that hyenai is a powerful teacher of balance,
Resilience and authenticity.
When hyenai appears in our lives,
Whether in dreams or meditation or in the natural world,
It often is asking you to look beyond the surface.
Hyenai energy calls for truth.
It reminds us to honor our own voice,
Even when it sounds different from everyone else's.
A hyenai often comes when we need to stop hiding our laughter,
Our joy or our unique sound.
Even if the world finds it strange,
We are navigating a group dynamic or a family issue.
It encourages us to find strength in our tribe while also maintaining our essence.
We are maybe struggling with self-worth.
This hyenai teaches us that even in the role that seems humble or overlooked,
There is immense power and purpose.
So if you look at that,
What problems does hyenai love to support us or help us with?
Well,
One of them is overcoming fear of judgment.
It's mastering of owning its oddness and thriving in it.
Another one is finding strength in community.
Hyenais live in structured,
Cooperative clans,
Ensuring us that collaboration can be as powerful as independence.
And of course,
Recycle and renewal.
Just as the hyenai clears what's left behind,
It helps us to let go of old emotional clutter and transforms it into wisdom.
So if you're feeling unappreciated,
Underestimated,
The hyenai steps in to remind you of your worth.
It teaches us that our medicine,
Our voice,
Might not sound like everyone else's,
But it's still vital.
So let me highlight these two unique features of the hyenai.
One,
Logically,
Is its voice.
The hyenai love is not random.
It is a language,
A code for communication and cooperation.
Spiritually,
This encourages us to listen to what is not being said,
The subtle energy and the messages that exist in our relationships.
And the other really unique one is its dual nature.
Though often mistaken for a wild dog,
Hyenas are closer to cats.
They straddle the line between worlds,
Wild and domestic,
Feminine and masculine,
Predator and scavenger.
This duality teaches us to embrace our complexity rather than hide them.
We often overlook the fact that hyenai is a keeper of sacred humor and wisdom.
Its love reminds us to not take life too seriously,
To find joy even in the darkest moments.
We miss this because we judge its sound as eerie or mocking,
When in truth it is celebrating of survival and adaptability.
So the hyenai invites us to ask,
Where do I forget to laugh in life?
What part of my voice needs to be heard,
Even if it feels strange or uncomfortable?
So it leaves you with this thought.
The hyenai medicine is about reclaiming your voice,
Trusting your instinct and knowing that your uniqueness is your strength.
When you see or feel the presence of hyena,
It's not a call to be silent,
It's an invitation to speak,
To love and to live authentically,
Even when the world doesn't fully understand you.
And there's one other thought,
And I like to share that in a story that's being shared by elders.
So the story goes.
Long ago,
Under the golden sun of the African plains,
A hyenai roamed alone,
Nose to the earth,
Searching for something to fill its empty belly.
And then it found it.
A bone,
Rich with marrow,
Left behind by a lion's feast.
The hyenai's eyes lit up.
This is mine,
It thought.
All mine.
The hyenai dragged the bone to a quiet place and began to chew it.
It chewed with such hunger,
Such determination,
That it didn't notice when the bone wedged deep in its throat.
And suddenly it couldn't swallow,
It couldn't speak.
Fear started to set in.
The hyenai ran to the other animals too,
Elephant,
Zebra,
Giraffe,
But no one there to help.
Finally,
The graceful crane stepped forward.
I will help you,
The crane said softly,
But you must promise not to harm me.
The hyenai,
Desperate and choking,
Nodded eagerly.
And the crane's long slender beak reached into the hyenai's throat.
And with grace,
It removed the stuck bone.
Relief,
The hyenai laughed its strange wild laugh.
Now,
Where's my reward,
Asked crane.
Hyenai's eyes narrowed.
Reward?
Well,
Your reward is I didn't bite your head off while you saved me.
Be grateful,
You still have your life.
Hyenai honored our agreement.
Isn't it an interesting story?
A reflection in our voice?
The story reminds us that hyenai's greatest lesson,
The balance between giving and receiving.
How often do we forget to acknowledge kindness of ourselves and others,
Or to give back when we've been helped?
So hyena invites us to notice where we are holding on too tightly,
Whether to resources,
Ideas,
Or even gratitude.
And instead,
We get invited to choose generosity and connection.
But also,
To look at our boundaries.
To look at what's been asked to give and to receive.
And feeling into that giving one finger doesn't entail the whole hand.
Hyenai teaches us that true strength comes from not hoarding what we have,
But from honoring the hands and hearts that help us along the way.
From a firm place of sovereignty.
