WHY the sea turtle MOTIF?
The sea turtle embodies our unique capacities as dreamers, creatives, artists, spiritual seekers and LGBTQI+ people—we dive deeply into our own suffering and come back to the surface with gifts of compassion and healing for others.
The calm, supportive presence of wise sea turtles bring joy, peace and creative inspiration to all who encounter them. REIKI+WISDOM | Energy Healing & Counseling strives to bring that healing energy to your life!
Sea turtle motifs are found in many cultures, symbols of longevity, adaptability, and the power of diving deep into one’s unconscious or creative mind.
Sea turtles have existed in the oceans of our mother earth for millennia, returning from the depths to offer gifts of profound wisdom to the human and animal realms.
In Buddhist stories, the sea turtle is an emblem of the rare and precious nature of one human birth, being as unlikely to manifest as a giant turtle surfacing to breathe above the ocean’s waves.
For ancient Celts, the sea turtle was a symbol of the link between worlds, allowing humans access to the Faerie realms, the storehouse of knowledge held and offered by the natural world as deep wisdom and healing.
