Spiritual Significance of Starfish

Spiritual Significance of Starfish

Over the years as I read about Robin and watched interviews, I learned that he liked the sea. So, I decided to place a starfish, sand dollar, and some shells on his altar to bring in that feature.

On June 29, 2015, I walked into my room and noticed that the starfish which had been on top of the altar table for Robin had been moved to my meditation cushion on the floor.

Here is the picture I took:

Even though I was used to Robin moving things at this point, it still surprised me. It always brings me joy when he visits and lets me know he’s here by moving things.

He must have liked the starfish because on a second occasion, he moved it off of the altar table again to the floor. This time he placed it beside a book I had by his altar called The Origins of Music:

In a way, it was like he was pointing out his awareness of this book that I would read to him from.

You can see it in the picture below:

 

Brief Literature Review on Starfish

Since there were these 2 occasions of the starfish being moved telekinetically, I decided to do some research on the spiritual symbolism of starfish. Here is some information I found.

I especially like this first one by Tania Marie, so I hope you’ll visit the link to see what else she has to say. She has a beautiful, mystical, direct experience with starfish:

“The Starfish is a universal and celestial symbol of infinite divine love. It has been used to represent the Virgin Mary – or Stella Maris, which means Star of the Sea – an ancient title she goes by because she is believed to lovingly intercede as a guide and protector of those who travel over troubled waters or seek their livelihoods on the sea. For this reason she is also seen as an emblem of salvation during trying times, which the Starfish reflects in this mirroring symbolism. In addition to love, the Starfish also emanates the energies of inspiration, guidance, brilliance, intuition, and vigilance, with its connection to the stars.”

According to Dawn Baumann Brunke in the book, The Key to Spirit Animals: From Communication to Meditation: Advice and Exercises to Unlock Your Mystical Potential, starfish are symbols of renewal and regeneration and encourage us to feel deeply. She states that:

Starfish encourages you to fine-tune your feelings and engage subtle levels of awareness so that you may move forward with greater sensitivity and joy. (Page 164)

In the book, Animal Speak: The Spiritual & Magical Powers of Creatures Great and Small, by Ted Andrews, starfish are described. You can also read about this on this Facebook page. Here are some excerpts below:

Starfish Associated Traits
Impulsive, Reflexive, Instinctive, Regeneration, Growth, Sustainable, Magic, Healing, Opposites

 

Symbolic Meaning Of Starfish
The starfish’s lack of brain is part of what makes its symbolism so important. Because it does not think, the starfish animal totem makes a great symbol for instinct and reflexes. The starfish doesn’t think about what it is going to do, it just does it. This is one of the things that helps to keep the starfish safe and that helps it too keep away from other predators.

 

If a starfish feels like something is wrong, it will react as soon as it can to save itself. This can apply to a human’s life as well. A person’s instinct is usually right. Many people say that your first guess is usually your best guess. Be like the starfish and use your instinct and reflexes to your benefit.

It is very rewarding to learn about the deeper meaning of starfish. They are so beautiful and sacred.

With my communications with Robin, I often take what he does as a lesson that I should explore more thoroughly. I could say that it’s so great that he moved the starfish twice and leave it at that. However, he is very intelligent and I know he wants me to look at the deeper implications of what he does so I can get more out of the experience. It’s a good habit to get into with signs and communications from loved ones. Dig deeper!

 

All my best to you,

 

Telekinesis: Photo Turned Upside Down

Telekinesis: Photo Turned Upside Down

Telekinesis is defined as the supposed inducement of movement of an object by a mental or spiritual power. https://www.thefreedictionary.com/telekinesis

The movement of objects by deceased loved ones is well documented in the afterlife communication literature.

I like this paragraph by Phil Mutz in the article, “9 Signs That a Deceased Loved One May Still be Nearby,” which explains telekinesis as afterlife communication well:

Objects being moved from where you left them and being put in your path can be a huge sign that a loved one is still nearby.

Many claim that particularly meaningful objects such as pictures or pieces of jewelry have been moved mysteriously. The belief is that these objects are being placed in your way as a way of letting you know that they are still with you.

These reports often mention that a person knew they left an object in a specific place, but that it had somehow moved.

In April of 2013, I started noticing little things being out of place around Robin’s altar. For example, the little aluminum tins that tealight candles come in were placed on the floor near his altar, which is something I would not do.

In May 2013, one year after Robin’s passing, he demonstrated amazing ability to move a picture of his that I kept on his altar.

Specifically, on May 21, 2013, one day after his passing date anniversary, I walked into my room and to my surprise the picture of Robin that I kept on his altar was not there. I exclaimed, “What happened to your picture?!” I looked around for a minute and then I found it on the floor, in back of the altar table, leaning against the table cloth. I was a little alarmed and wondered how that happened. At that time, I was not sure he moved it and thought maybe I knocked it off by accident in some way, even though logically, I did not see how. I was shocked and puzzled and though I had read that spirits can move their pictures, I was not sure, so I just put it back and left it at that. But that was not the end of it.

About 5 days later, on May 26, 2013, I walked into my room and this time his picture was turned upside down on top of his altar!  I knew then that he had done it because that was twice that it happened within a short time period. I’m sure he moved it again because I was not convinced the first time. Those were the only two times in all the years I have had an altar for him that he moved his picture.

Here, I have included actual images of the picture Robin turned upside.

As you can see by the pictures, the frame is rotated. Originally, it had been facing front. So, it was not just tipped over. It was rotated so the frame was laying down in a different direction than it had been originally placed by me.

I’m very happy he did not knock over the cup of tea I left for him, lol!

I don’t have kids or pets that could do something like that and my husband had no knowledge of it. I know Robin turned his picture upside down on his altar and I was absolutely amazed that he could and would do that. He certainly got my attention by doing that and it truly lifted my spirits to know he was around. He was also deepening his connection with me from synchronicity to dreams to telekinesis.

More importantly, he was introducing himself to me as a spirit person who could do this. This set the stage for Robin beginning a very active period of telekinesis in my home. I believe he turned his picture upside down to identify himself so that in the future, when other events occurred, I would know it was him.

I had never had any kind of spirit activity in my home prior to Robin’s passing, so it was new for me. I felt like he was training me to be awake, alert and pay very close attention to my surroundings. He was there and had found me. It’s so fascinating how a deceased loved one can die in England and then end up in your obscure apartment in Colorado, especially when they did not know where you lived prior to their death!

I hope you enjoyed this story. There will be others!
