THE MERMAID
Flowing with the Power of Her Creative Fire

The Mermaid is an expression of a woman living an artful life colorful, open to possibility and yet balanced and grounded.  
She is a symbol of when you feel most powerful, when you are creating and teaching.

The mermaid is the symbol of the old Goddess energy that represents women, particularly the mysterious, life-generating element. She lives in the element of water  the element of the unconscious and dreams.

If you say that you are drawn to water and yet afraid at the same time, this could mean that you are drawn to living your authentic creative life and yet fear it at the same time.  This dolls stands as an affirmation to live an honest, creative and authentic

Pisces energy is directed toward your inner self. You are meant to learn about the power of your thoughts and feelings and thereby to discover the greater degree of choices available to you. Choice is born out of opposing polarities the twin fish of Pisces.  Not only does The Mermaid have two fish on either side of her heart, her symmetrical shape symbolizes balance. Her outstretched arms welcome openness and acceptance to possibilities.

You are drawn to fire, as if you are drawn to experience your passion this is symbolized by the use of the color orange and the flame like symbol reaching up from the lower center of the mermaid's tail.

The large heart/ breasts symbolizes your loving heart and the wish for a life filled with love and affection. Breast are symbols of maternal nurturing. She represents that which is emotional, loving, empathetic, and giving. She understands sorrows and know how to comfort.

Her abundant, flowing hair, symbolizing an abundant love potential.

The Mermaid is full of soft edged shapes representing feminine energy and she is shaped very much like a full bodied woman.

Her tail curves up into two spirals symbols of healing energy.

The mermaid in our culture is the most persistent and pervasive symbol of the old Goddess energy that represents women, particularly the mysterious, life-generating element.

There is an opening with a door located in between your second and third chakras.  On either side of this opening are two guardians. This opening is a shrine of a sort, a place to focus energy on self and goals.

Your second chakra governs sexuality, creativity, emotions, anger, fear, instinct to nurture, spleen, perceptions concerning food, women's power and female identity.  Second chakra patterns and lessons apply to relationships and power and taking charge of a situation.

Your third chakra governs confidence self-esteem, self-care, decision making, and personal honor.

I have placed a bead of intuition in this area.  You may place other symbols here that represent your power and gifts.

SELF LOVE....is the capacity to take care of yourself and to make choices that nurture you and renew your vitality. The most important thing to remember is to give yourself the right of choice, self- expression and self-respect. When you stay in a place of self love you will draw in energies that will support and empower you and allow you to in a creative engagement with Spirit and "flow in the power of your creative fire."
