year of the snake


I know it's not technically the year of the snake, but rather, it is a year to embody my nature. This is a year of re-birth for me. Lately, I've been getting messages to embrace the snake energy in a symbolic way. I know...that sounds a bit creepy, but it is meant in the sense of embracing my sensuality as my power and allowing uncoiling flow to happen for the highest good. I had my MAYA calendar chart read and this is essentially what came through. I was also born in the year of the snake (Chinese Astrology), and recently stumbled upon a quarter sized token with a snake on the front. Guess what it said on the back?----"Time of healing and transformation. Focus on new birth." So, when it came time to pick my new birth name, ( many spiritual traditions will re-name themselves to mark a transformation or new consciousness ) I did so hesitantly. It all seemed soooo cheesy to me. So "spiritual", but not surrendered spiritual, more "look at me, I'm so spiritual"! But then, it seemed to be more of an inward mark, a knowing that I am allowing myself to let go of a lot of things I've been latching on to. SO, I did re-name myself, but I don't expect everyone to call me by my new name. It sits on my altar "Tchaya Eden" which means the re-birth of paradise/ pleasure. My middle name is Eden, so that didn't change...just the re-birth part. Long story shortish...ok not really...the above picture is my next tattoo! where should it find it's home? lower left arm?upper right shoulder?, or upper back?
